Road Map to Murder

1089.981

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1184.627

But once inside, despite everyone's worst fears, the cabin appears empty to police.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1202.155

As Detective Groans makes his way through the cabin, he spots a door to the cellar. So right about here, you draw your gun. Why?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1221.718

but nothing there either.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1225.601

So after searching the cabin, investigators make their way down to the lake to check on the shed.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1249.651

Was there any concern that they might have been held captive in a place like this or been held against their will?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1262.278

They break the padlock on the boathouse, but Bart and Krista are nowhere to be found.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1292.215

So at this point, for you, this is a mystery, right?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1342.921

As investigators and volunteers prepare to scour the county in search of the missing couple, news is spreading about Bart and Krista's disappearance.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1380.549

authorities are still searching for a windsor couple who have not been seen in days my wife is pretty shook up too i mean they're very nice couple very nice family it's been a week since bart and krista halderson were last seen and while mitchell halderson is up at the family cabin searching for his parents his younger brother chandler is back home in windsor canvassing the neighborhood

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1406.021

He's seen on the neighbor's home security camera footage obtained by investigators. What are you seeing on the home security footage later?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1427.256

Remember, one of those neighbors' home security cameras captured this mysterious white van, but it led investigators to a dead end. And yet, Chandler presses on. Chandler is recorded on one Ring camera asking a neighbor about their security system. We do.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

143.643

Fourth of July, it's a day when people come together to celebrate our independence and the spirit of America. And that's what you'll see in Madison, Wisconsin.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1458.723

Chandler approaches another neighbor's house and waves to the camera.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1475.717

You were able to capture the road or my house? They discuss camera angles and whether their camera has night vision.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1494.286

You can see he's really sleuthing, trying to uncover whatever evidence these neighbors may have.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1545.717

Chandler walks up to yet another neighbor's house and rings their bell. The neighbor, a retired detective with the Madison Police Department, tells Chandler to meet him in the garage so that they can talk.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1592.358

He heads to WKOW, an ABC news station in Madison, which has been broadcasting Bart and Krista's photo.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1601.662

But Chandler says he's reticent to go on camera, saying he fears retaliation from whoever may have taken his parents.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1647.503

With the town now buzzing about the missing couple, Chandler's back at home. And he notices a different kind of activity outside his window.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1707.481

Later that night, Chandler comes voluntarily into the Dane County Sheriff's Office, where investigators bring him into this room and seat him in this chair.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

172.489

Madison is Wisconsin's gorgeous capital city. Built on a strip of land connecting Lakes Monona and Mendota, generations of families have come here to lay roots. But as residents of a small town just north of here would come to know, secrets, lies, and betrayal don't stop at these shores.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1726.015

He's wearing a baseball cap, a sweatshirt, and a furrowed brow. Just so you know, I'm going to record stuff, OK? In that police interview, Chandler talks about the last meal he had with his parents on July 1st, right before they left for the cabin.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1753.408

Chandler says that by the next morning, his parents had left never to be heard from again, except for that one reassuring text from his mother.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1765.86

But investigators are skeptical too, and here's why. They know something Chandler doesn't.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1784.153

Investigators have asked Chandler Halderson to come in for an interview, and they've also asked for his girlfriend, Kat Melender, to come in as well. Both agree to come in voluntarily, and they're in separate rooms while police act on a new tip that's come to their attention.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1829.433

You start searching the farm. You notice something overhead. What was that?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1842.338

What is a turkey vulture?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1859.98

And was this in the area or a similar area where Chandler's car had been parked?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1894.712

Hidden inside an oil drum near the body, investigators find a pair of scissors, a saw blade, and bolt cutters. But even with this grisly discovery, investigators will have to wait for the medical examiner to confirm that it is indeed Bart Halderson.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1916.546

So right there at that moment, this goes from a missing persons case to a homicide. Yes. But here's what else has investigators intrigued. That farm has a link to someone very close to the Haldersons.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1943.592

While you have Chandler, you have Kat in another room.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1952.301

Kat draws a smiley face on a sequined pillow and clutches a Winnie the Pooh bear. A detective offers Kat a cookie to help put her at ease.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1966.71

Make sure there's no chocolate in there.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

1972.214

No, we're not.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2041.52

Oh, OK. So what struck her is while he was supposed to maybe be there to swim for his therapy, he was not swimming. Correct. What I find interesting is you ask her, would anybody want to harm the Haldersons?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2083.655

She seems generally like, are you kidding me? No. Not them. What do you make of that? What do you make of her response to whether or not somebody would want to harm her?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2101.482

Did you get the sense that she thought that Chandler had anything to do with this?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2136.734

I don't think she thought he had anything to do with it. Not even suspicions, not even maybe, just nothing to do with it. Couldn't be Chandler.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2156.226

How does him not knowing about that human torso affect the way you interview him, the way you talk to him?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2207.019

That's when investigators lower the boom on Chandler.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2221.311

So can we do that? Now it's time for the really hard questions.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2253.334

And this all leads some to be asking, is Chandler covering up for his mom? Could she have had something to do with Bart's disappearance?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2289.153

You have search teams up there. You have dogs.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2303.923

You have to find Krista.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

233.173

Krista is an administrative assistant for a local auto shop, and Bart is an accountant.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2349.286

It's July 8th in Madison, Wisconsin. It's been a week since Bart and Krista Halderson were last seen. It can really feel warm there in the summer, even when you're not under the microscopic lens of the police. What's going on? Bart and Krista Halderson's youngest son Chandler is being interviewed by police. But he hasn't yet been charged in their disappearance.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2380.593

Now, police are playing coy with him. They haven't yet revealed the discovery of a body at that farm in Cottage Grove.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2456.56

Tell me what you're taking from all this as trained investigators who have to question people like this.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2480.59

At this point, Chandler's not charged with murder, but he is charged with something else. Tell me about that.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2518.5

Four days after Chandler's arrest, the autopsy results on the remains found at the farm come back.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

254.482

Barbie Townsend grew up in Southern California, but would often visit her younger cousin Krista at the family's rustic cabin in northern Wisconsin.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2546.634

OK, so what did you think when you got those results back?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2621.203

You're asking the question of where's Krista. There was some talk in the community about perhaps maybe in some way, once the murder charges are out there, Krista had some sort of involvement in what happened with Bart. Did you pursue that theory?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2676.864

What are you thinking there?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

268.065

Happy person, it sounds like. Very happy, yeah.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

272.365

I know you got to know Bart a little bit later, but what was he like?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2743.726

And you know how Snapchat messages disappear? One of Chandler's didn't.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2773.814

Investigators are leaving no stone unturned in the search for Krista Halderson. But with Chandler now in custody, hope is fading fast. Every minute that passes becomes more crucial.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

280.506

They complemented each other.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2802.454

But things are about to take a dramatic turn. When police first spoke to Chandler's girlfriend, Kat Melander, she voluntarily gave them her cell phone. And on it, they found a vital clue to their investigation. By the time Kat comes in for a second interview, both she and police realize how important it can be.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2859.974

That screenshot saved on Kat's phone shows Chandler's avatar labeled hubby on the banks of the Wisconsin River. Snapchat is a social media app specifically designed to share photos that disappear. Once you open a message, you only have a few seconds to take a screenshot before that picture is gone for good.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2879.876

In 2017, Snapchat added the feature Snap Map, which also lets you share your location with friends in real time. And why did she have them on Snapchat in the first place?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

288.195

Barbie told me that nothing matters more to Krista and Bart than their two sons, Mitchell and Chandler.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2904.597

With her lawyer present and her cell phone in hand, she voluntarily talks police through what she now realizes could be critical evidence, a technological smoking gun.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

2941.21

With the case in the news, Kat and her lawyer decide this information could be useful to police and to Kat.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3005.02

Why did she do a screenshot of a snap map on Chandler at that time?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3083.499

In fact, other friends told police that was Chandler's favorite swimming spot. A year earlier, an ex-girlfriend receives this picture, which she gave the police, of Chandler in that area, posing with a tree and a knife in his hand.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3106.468

But as enlightening as this Snapchat evidence is, a treasure trove of text messages between Kat and Chandler is even more intriguing. Investigators zero in on a couple of erratic texts from Chandler, the morning Bart and Krista vanish, which sound ominous. I don't know, stuff hasn't really been going well for me lately, so I'm trying to plan for the next thing to expletive me over.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3130.56

Yeah, I just had a great future planned and it's falling apart. Cat replies, no it's not, you're going to be okay. With suspicions of Chandler now high as ever, investigators obtain a search warrant and go back to the Halderson home.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

317.453

Mitchell, the oldest, works in IT, and he lives with his fiancee not far from his parents' home. And Chandler, an Eagle Scout, is a young man on the rise. He's working part-time for an insurance company, living at home while finishing his college degree. And that's not all.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3181.238

On July 11th, a judge authorizes a search warrant of the Halderson home in Windsor.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3198.698

To step back a little bit, this isn't the first time you've been to the house, right? Right. OK, so what did you do the first time when you were in the house? What did you find?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3281.258

Found his blood, but did that line up with what he said about cutting his foot? And that's why that blood was there? Or was it that you might have gotten a sense that it was something different?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3299.324

And on that second search of the home, luminol testing would reveal traces of blood belonging to Bart and Krista Halderson in the living room, leading investigators to believe they've both been murdered. But as they continue their search, they find more ominous evidence.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3349.887

How could she be texting him if her phone is sitting right there wrapped up in aluminum foil? Yes.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3363.052

Do you have any sense of why they were wrapped in a room foil?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3371.778

Detectives also did an extensive search of Chandler Halderson's bedroom, resembling something like an armory.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3390.754

So we're in the basement now. What did you find down here?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3410.218

OK. So you have the blood, the shell casing. Did this tell you, along with the other evidence, where Bart and Krista were killed?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3429.18

So you had the shell casings, you had the ammo, but you didn't have the murder weapon. Where was that recovered?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3440.287

The weapon was found hidden in a barn on the farm's property. No one had any idea it was there.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3463.911

Now you have a link between the shell casings and the ammo in this gun at the farm. Yes.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

351.136

But in June of 2021, the Haldersons' good fortune takes a turn.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3578.277

Investigators already have the snap map from Chandler Halderson's girlfriend placing him at the Wisconsin River. But it's a second tip of a random sighting that piques their interest.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3623.825

You have search teams up there. You have dogs.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3632.785

Time is the essence. You have to find Krista. Yes.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3647.714

What did you find at that location?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3689.96

I see you thinking about it, and it's kind of, it almost brings about some emotion in you. For sure.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3712.557

The location where Krista's remains are found seems familiar to at least one detective. And then it clicks when he sees a unique tree trunk, the same one in that photograph given to police by Chandler's ex, showing Chandler near his favorite swimming spot.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3732.147

Chandler Halderson pleads not guilty to all the charges.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3769.298

And just a couple of months later, prosecutors set out to answer those questions as Chandler goes to trial.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3780.906

The city of Madison, Wisconsin, rings in the new year with confetti, cocktails, and a double murder trial. Prosecutors set out to prove Chandler killed Barton Krista Halderson. And a big part of their strategy is to prove their theory as to why.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3838.7

The jury hears about Chandler Halderson's IT degree, studies in renewable energy, a dream job at SpaceX, and a new life with his girlfriend in Florida.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3853.527

but they also hear about what prosecutors say was a concoction, a total fabrication of the events leading up to Bart and Krista's disappearance.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3940.646

And as prosecutors begin to call witnesses, there's one who has a haunting story.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

3949.555

About a phone call he receives just before the murders, a conversation not only revealing, but stunning.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4031.996

Chandler Halderson is on trial for the murder of both his parents. And from jump, prosecutors promised the jury they'd hear the reason why. And in their opening statements, prosecutors told the jury it all started because that promising future Chandler supposedly had was a mirage. Called to the witness stand, Omar Jobe, a Madison College enrollment officer, who says his phone rang on June 29th.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4055.335

It's a call, he says, he won't soon forget.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4087.074

On this call, Job is hearing a complaint from Chandler that for months now he hasn't received his college transcripts.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4141.245

But here's the thing about that phone call. It's not at all what it appears to be.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4150.95

On the other line, it is a Halderson, but it's not Chandler. It's actually Bart Halderson pretending to be his son.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4168.605

Bart has been trying unsuccessfully for months to get the transcripts from Chandler, and he was beginning to get suspicious.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4185.954

Prosecutors also alleged that Chandler had set up fake email accounts in an attempt to deceive his father about why his transcripts weren't coming.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4261.581

But college wasn't the only alleged deception Chandler carried out. Prosecutors call in witnesses who reveal things like that internship at American Family Insurance. I found no record of that person working for American Family. The job at Elon Musk's SpaceX.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4284.814

Prosecutors argue that essentially everything he supposedly had going for him, none of it was real.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4307.643

So the insurance company internship, the SpaceX opportunity, the going to school, all lies. All lies. Yep. So you're hearing this at the trial. What did this make you think of him?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4323.944

It's an explosive claim in court. Authorities say Chandler has been perpetrating this catfish scheme for at least a year. The call to Madison College would turn out to be fateful, and the last recorded words of Bart Halderson.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4351.633

Bart sets up a meeting for July 1st with a school administrator and plans to bring Chandler along. Around 2 p.m. that day, Bart sends this text to his son. I'm ready whenever you are.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4392.967

Chandler's text says, Dad's phone died. Text or call me. And get soda on your way home. I have an extra hour of work. Krista replies, Kay, I can. Smiley face. That would be the last text from Krista Halderson.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4435.51

Prosecutors enter this photo into evidence at trial to support their theory that Chandler's fall is part of an alleged web of lies. Prosecution calls the ER doctor to dispel that myth.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4495.368

That Father's Day brunch photo, which is shown to the jury by prosecutors, is just weeks before the murder.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4510.635

But prosecutors also point out conspicuously missing on this quick trip surveillance video, Chandler's neck brace. And they claim it's the same story when he visits a local store.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4539.798

The prosecution calls one last star witness, Chandler's ex-girlfriend, Kat Melander, who testifies about the impact of sharing the Snap Map discovery on her phone.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4564.474

And later, she recalls something else she noticed during the initial search for Bart and Krista.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4577.325

That smoky smell, a neighbor's security camera, and a flickering light are about to reveal another dark secret inside the home. It turns out, prosecutors say, Chandler has one more big thing to hide.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4632.768

It's day seven in Chandler Halderson's trial as he stands accused of the murder of his own parents in what prosecutors say was a desperate attempt to conceal a secret web of lies. But what the jury hears next is some of the most disturbing evidence yet.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4682.969

What was the most disturbing moment of the trial for you?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4696.815

The defense didn't challenge Dr. Figueroa-Soto's testimony. After eight days of testimony, it's the defense's turn. Everyone's wondering what Chandler's case is going to be. But in a surprise move, the defense rests without calling a single witness.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

470.16

Now, the Haldersons have a family cabin they love to go to on weekends. And initially, there's some speculation that this is where Bart and Krista are. But none of the neighbors saw them leave.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4736.786

In closing arguments, the prosecution urges the jury to look at this image of Barton Christa, likening the pieces of evidence to that of a jigsaw.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4769.654

Thank you. While the defense says all the state was able to prove was that Chandler is a liar, not a killer.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4797.748

Just after 3 PM, news breaks that the jury has reached a verdict.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4826.661

Chandler Halderson is found guilty on all eight charges. So what was your reaction to the verdict?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4850.154

In March of 2022, at sentencing, Chandler breaks his silence for the first time.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4888.621

Chandler is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, still leaving his family and friends with far more questions than answers as to why he murdered his mother and father.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4924.847

If Chandler would have just asked for help, what do you think Barb and Christa would have done?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

4939.44

If you could talk to Krista one more time, if you just had one more moment to say something to her, what would it be?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

495.438

And when Krista fails to make a medical appointment on Monday, it really raises red flags.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

50.449

The story is a couple came and picked them up and took them to the cabin.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

506.345

Is it like her to just miss that appointment or not tell anybody she wasn't going to make it?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

569.639

The strange disappearance of Bart and Krista Halderson is a mystery captivating local Wisconsiners.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

580.841

Including a pair of podcasters.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

584.302

And I'm Richard.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

598.68

Their podcast, as the name suggests, mixes suds.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

643.444

But that weekend in July 2021, strangely, the couple are nowhere to be found.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

698.741

And that's Krista right there.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

700.743

I can always tell Krista by that shock of red hair.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

708.041

The cabin has been in Barbie and Krista's family since the 1940s, when it was built by their grandfather.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

727.731

Sounds like this was a place where you and Krista really bonded.

20/20

Road Map to Murder

736.041

Chandler had told family members he knew his parents were going to the cabin for the weekend, but he was expecting them home by Tuesday the 6th. Now, Tuesday's come and gone, and the couple seems to have vanished. How did you learn that Bart and Krista were missing?

20/20

Road Map to Murder

771.783

On July 7th, six days after Bart and Crystal were last seen, Chandler heads to the Dane County Sheriff's Office to report his parents missing.

20/20

And I will cry. You know what? I don't care if she's a jerk. Everyone heard how much of a jerk she is. I kind of wish the girls could have given all the food back, too, and vomited all over.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

312.561

Well, okay, I'm not the one viral, but my daughter was a part of it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

335.439

Hmm.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

336.051

So basically I had to drop her off at the mall, like in the food court. And what I understood of the plan was they were going to go have lunch and do party activities. And then the group was going to head over to Build-A-Bear.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

355.214

The birthday girl's mom was taking care of that.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

364.235

Yeah, it was great. I'll be back in a few hours. It was perfect.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

368.937

Sounds like a good plan.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

370.479

Yeah. So I go home, and I come back in a few hours, and there's my daughter just in tears when I see her.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

386.878

Well, it was more than my kid. It was other kids, too. They were all upset.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

398.066

Yeah. What happened? So I got her in the car and asked what happened. She said that the mom forced all the girls to give their Build-A-Bears to the birthday girl.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

431.161

That's what I was asking myself. So I contacted another mom who was involved, and she couldn't believe it either. She was really upset.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

450.574

Well, what she said was that the mom wanted each girl to build a bear so that her daughter would remember her. Each one of them by the bear that they built. They built for her.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

470.76

I mean, we already gave a gift.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

482.99

Yeah, she did pay for the Build-A-Bear experience.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

519.616

All these girls had to stand and whine. They had to make each bear, and then all the bears were ripped away from them at the end.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

532.887

Okay. So I have the lady's number.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

551.963

That would be a cherry on top. I don't expect it, but I just need her to know what she did was wrong.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

558.32

I don't know how to say it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

585.706

This is why I'm calling you. I can't be trusted.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

703.991

Yeah, I mean, what if she says, I haven't heard anything?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

743.757

I feel like I see why she did it. She wanted this special moment strictly for her daughter. Okay.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

785.411

And it's not a teddy bear. It's 12 teddy bears. It's so much more than it's, yeah. It's making all these girls feel bad.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

798.56

I'm going to try to keep it under control.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

832.872

Well, I will say she had a really good time, but there was one little issue. And I'm just kind of wondering if you had feedback from other parents.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

851.471

So I'm assuming what you're talking about is the Build-A-Bear situation.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

863.234

Right. Cool. You get to make the rules.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

869.511

And with no regard to the other children's feelings. Was that one of the rules?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

883.079

So you bought every one of their tears is what you're saying.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

889.282

You purchased each. Was it build a tear?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

901.365

It was a labor camp. A labor camp?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

906.887

You put all these girls to work for your daughter. I'm not the only one who thinks this. All the parents are talking, and they all kind of think you're a jerk. Okay, great.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Awkward Tuesday: Ruin A Birthday

922.098

You should have them make a Build-A-Bear police bear and then just take that away, too. Ooh, burn. Thank you. Ow, that hurt. You know what? The truth is, you know who else thinks you're a jerk? Everybody listening on the radio right now because you're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. What are you talking about? What the hell is going on?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update Classic: Incriminating News At 11

Das war seine erste Erfahrung mit Leuten, die in den spirituellen Raum glauben. In einem sehr praktischen und praktizierenden Art und Weise. Ich schätze, Haiti ist reich mit dem Spuken und dem Außen. Aber das ist eine weitere Herausforderung, wenn du versuchst, diese Kulturen zu erreichen.

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

282.967

Well, you know, historically, it was realized that early 1900s, 1901, it was discovered that a certain city in Colorado, Colorado Springs, people had brown, ugly teeth, but they also had no cavities. And it took them a few decades to realize there was a reason. It was the fluoride, which was much too high in the water in that city. But

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

304.833

That set the stage for some research to be done in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a big study, 1945. So bottom line is, without getting too into it, it was discovered with time that a very small, small amount of fluoride added to the water supply

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

319.87

It occurs naturally, but a small addition to an optimal level helps prevent decay cavities in children and adults, and it's been proven with decades of literature and valid research studies, as opposed to the crazy studies that people tend to bring up, these fringe studies that are not well performed and stuff like that. Some of the stuff you just heard was definitely a reflection of that movie.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

347.041

And this is the day and age we're living in of misinformation. We all know that.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

383.739

Right. So I feel like when I hear some of these other studies, I feel like my IQ has dropped precipitously just hearing about these things. But the reality is, yeah, when people quote studies like that, if you take a close look, frequently those studies are either performed in foreign countries, Iran, China, India, not to denigrate those countries, but

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

403.775

Frequently, the levels of fluoride are typically way too high, and the nature of the studies are flawed. But if someone looks at the decades of valid, solid scientific research, then I don't know why they need to point to these other wacky studies that demonstrate stuff that's just not true. And our surgeon general, as you alluded to, Dr. Latipo,

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

426.081

He's free to gallivant around the state, just purporting misinformation about this. And between him and RFK, it's threatening to ruin the health care of our country, much less our state. So it's really a tough time. I mean, anti-vaccine, let's bring back polio, let's bring back measles. Hey, let's get rid of fluoride. It's a really bad trend that we're in.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

I think according to his family, he drank some can of paint when he was very young, and it affected him for the rest of his life, something like that.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

497.58

It's between 25 and 45% roughly. I mean, but it's, it's also well known what happens if you take fluoride away, like look no further than Calgary, Canada, they're putting it back now because they realized that after they took it away, there was,

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

513.787

a 700 increase in hospital admissions iv antibiotics serious health problems one misconception is when you hear the word cavity people think of a tiny little cavity in the tooth but cavities become large cavities which become abscesses which turn into facial infections which then can become hospital admissions and even death in a rare case.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

537.191

And especially the underserved population are more at risk when you take away fluoride. So Calgary is putting it back. Other communities that have lost it, they see the results and then they go back because they realize this is just a bad healthcare decision to take it away.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

797.176

That is a point that some people make, but you might as well say the same thing about other healthcare measures that have helped tremendously in our country, like the vaccines are a clear example. I mean, kids need to have vaccines to go to school. Parents technically can tell their kids, I don't want to send you to school, but

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

814.901

then we're looking at higher rates of measles and whooping cough and other things without vaccines. So I compare it to the same thing. Technically, people have a choice in this world. You can move to a non-fluoridated area. You don't have to turn on your tap water. You can buy a reverse osmosis filter. So there technically is choices, but...

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

833.804

The government has been in a role, the EPA, whoever, of trying to do what's best for the health of the citizens of the country and the state. Local communities want control. I know it sounds kind of radical, but parents technically have a choice. We all have a choice. You know, so what about the kids that don't get fluoride and they don't have consent over their disease process?

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

862.21

They end up in doctor's offices, in hospitals, you know, God forbid, severe infections, especially the underserved. So, you know, you can talk about choice. I know that's a popular talking point, consent, but it all turns out to be BS at the end of the day. We need to all live in a world that keeps everyone as safe as possible. Same with seatbelts and cars. I mean, technically...

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

882.881

You're taking away my choice. I don't want to put a seatbelt on my kid. Well, you know, we need to intervene and do what's best for people.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

959.29

no question i mean there's a statewide there's a there's a bill called the florida farm bill which includes a bunch of different things but among them is one thing on fluoride that that if it passes will per will forbid the addition of fluoride statewide and it looks like that's on track unfortunately to pass but the prediction is that major communities in our state will fight back with court filings and different things saying wait a minute

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

#BecauseMiami: Dr. Mufson or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Less Fluoride

And so, but my question is, we recently purchased a brand new motor home and that is our residence. And so we have no other bills other than the motor home itself.

And we weren't sure whether or not I should be investing like I am into my 401k. I didn't mention that I am I'm 58. I would like to retire at 62 as well as my wife. So we're just a few years out from that. And so we're just going, I wanted to get the money into the market as early as I could in this new year. And so we're, you know, I just, I upped it up to 75%.

I have 117,000 in my 401k. And my wife has about $13,000 in hers. And yeah, I guess that's about it. And then we do have our high-yield savings that we're using for, we have money in there for our emergency fund.

Well, we paid off our car and then we bought another, we bought another camper and we paid cash for that. So that wiped us out of all that. So we, we became debt free at that point. And, and so.

Yeah, our month-to-month budget. And this includes putting, we have money that goes to our grandkids. We save for them. And then we also have extra that my wife has out of the budget. But it's like around $5,500. But that also, out of that, there's $800 of it that goes into savings. Okay. Into savings. So it actually could be a lot. It'd be like $4,800 maybe.

So I got into a pretty bad hole of debt, all credit cards. Um, I got a house about two years ago with my ex now and uh, you know, I buy, I was buying stuff for the house and then we broke up and I went down the rabbit hole of spending, you know, not being pretty financial intelligent with my money. So then I got, I'm looking at it now and I'm about 50 K.
