Something stinks about the Ghislaine Maxwell case, and we're not afraid to say it. From her curious transfer to a "cream puff prison" in Bryan, Texas, to the undocumented special meeting with Todd Blanche, the whole situation reeks of privilege and protection.

We tackle the elephant in the room – is Maxwell being set up for a pardon? And if so, what does that tell us about justice in America? The pattern is disturbing: people connected to the Epstein case dying of "brief illnesses," records disappearing, and powerful figures seemingly untouched by sc...

Fan Mail Me Brrrruuuuunnnden

The idealized nuclear family of the 1950s – with its working dad, homemaking mom, and 2.5 children – has become increasingly rare in today's world. But what exactly constitutes a "family" now, and who gets to define it?

We tackle this question head-on, examining how family structures have evolved beyond the "Leave It To Beaver" model into something far more diverse and inclusive. From blended families and same-sex parents to chosen family connections and co-parenting arrangements, we explore how "nuclear family" has transformed into "whatever configuration provides love and support."

Bodies betray us in the most embarrassing ways as we age, and nobody talks about it quite like Detto and Casey on this hilarious episode of Sockeytome. 

What starts as a confession about Detto's inability to swallow pills spirals into a remarkable journey through the indignities of growing older. You'll hear the play-by-play of Detto's dramatic face-plant at first base during a softball game – complete with torn hamstring and dirt-covered dignity. It's a moment so perfectly emblematic of that jarring disconnect between what our minds think we can do and what our...

The Hotwife Trend

Fan Mail Me Brrrruuuuunnnden

Would opening your relationship save it or destroy it? In this provocative episode, we tackle the increasingly popular relationship trend known as "hot wifing"—where couples consensually invite a third person into their sexual experiences while participating together.

Far from a simple discussion about sex, our conversation explores how this practice fundamentally differs from both traditional open relationships and cuckolding. While many might dismiss it as taboo, we unpack how it potentially creates unprecedented levels of trust, honesty, and communication between partners.

"The longer the leash you give them, th...

Fan Mail Me Brrrruuuuunnnden

A dead police officer in the snow. A broken taillight. Flirty text messages. Three competing theories. The Karen Reed murder trial has all the elements of a perfect crime thriller, except this Massachusetts case is chillingly real.

We dive deep into the mysterious death of Officer John O'Keefe, examining the evidence, inconsistencies, and troubling questions surrounding who's really responsible. With a blood alcohol level of 0.29, was O'Keefe simply too intoxicated, falling and succumbing to the elements? Did his girlfriend Karen Reed strike him with her vehicle as prosecutors claim? Or was...

What happens when doing your job correctly gets you arrested? Our discussion dives into the shocking case of a lifeguard who saved a drowning 5-year-old child in 2017, only to be arrested and charged with "reckless endangerment" when the ungrateful parents called the police, claiming he should have acted faster.

This mind-boggling situation forces us to confront some uncomfortable questions about parental responsibility, our broken justice system, and what society owes to those who save lives. Where were these parents while their non-swimming 5-year-old was drowning for nearly five minutes? Why did...

Fan Mail Me Brrrruuuuunnnden

When Temple University students displayed an antisemitic sign at David Portnoy's Philadelphia bar, his response wasn't what anyone expected. Rather than simply firing them or pressing charges, Portnoy chose education over punishment—sending them to visit Auschwitz to understand the weight of their actions. This revolutionary approach transforms a hateful moment into a powerful teaching opportunity.

This episode dives deep into how Portnoy's response exemplifies what's missing in our mental health and judicial systems. Instead of paperwork and endless hoops to jump through, Portnoy offered meaningful accountability that might actually change pe...

Billionaires with penis-shaped rockets and celebrities paying $200,000 for 11 minutes of "almost space" – welcome to the absurd reality of modern space tourism.

Detto and T-Bot take a scathing, hilarious look at Blue Origin and the billionaire space race between Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. What exactly are these ultra-wealthy individuals trying to accomplish by sending celebrities like Katy Perry and Gayle King 62 miles up – barely crossing the boundary of what's considered "space" – only to tumble around weightless for a few minutes before returning to Earth?

The credibility of the #MeToo movement hangs in the balance as celebrity controversies dominate headlines. Could high-profile cases like Blake Lively's accusations against Justin Baldoni and Amber Heard's battle with Johnny Depp be undermining the very movement meant to empower survivors?

We pull no punches examining how false allegations create devastating ripple effects for legitimate victims seeking justice. "She's ruining it for people that it actually happens to," one host observes, highlighting how opportunistic claims can silence authentic voices in need of support.
