Please take care while listening. Happy post Fourth of July!  Laurel finally has an office\u2026with an echo. We PROMISE we will remedy that ASAP. We are all just works in progress, remember? Be patient with us. We are old. Some key points to this week's episode include: The NHL Controversy  We discuss the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships assault which involves five NHL drafted players who were accused of sexually assaulting a woman. We discuss the court's decision, public reaction to the judge's ruling, and why many people are questioning how some of those players are still being drafted and signed by professional teams. We also talk about believing survivors, accountability, and how these cases continue to shape public trust in the justice system. Our Fourth of July Weekend  Not every holiday story ends with fireworks. Laurel shares how what started as a relaxing Fourth of July almost turned into a neighborhood disaster when a fire broke out nearby and how her son spotted it in time for everyone to respond before it spread. CERN: Science or Something More?  Oh yes! A conspiracy! We explore what CERN actually is, why it's one of the most misunderstood scientific facilities in the world, the internet theories surrounding particle collisions, alternate dimensions, the Mandela Effect, strange symbolism, and why Laurel believes there's much more happening than what we're being told. Whether you're here for true crime, strange mysteries, conspiracy theories, or just two friends having a conversation...we've got you covered.
