Chapter 2: How did forensic digital experts challenge the prosecution's theory?
So we don't know who those two witnesses are, but I would think that it's possible. that they could recall Juliana.
I feel like if she'd left the country, we'd already know about that right now, but I was just imagining if you're Christine's family, if you're Joe Ryan's family, and to think that the outcome could end up being that the one woman who admitted to killing someone, Joe Ryan, is going home out of jail for free with a Netflix deal in hand potentially. And the other person is now acquitted.
Like that would be insane. I mean, I just can't even get my head around the developments that have just happened today alone. And it's happening on the day that could be the last day of testimony in this trial. Stay here. We'll explain what the schedule, we're anticipating at least for the rest of the afternoon of testimony, and what next week is going to look like based on a storm. Stay here.
Hey, what's up, y'all? This is Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with A$AP Rocky ahead of his album release, Don't Be Dumb. He reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip-hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the TV. Rakim had the Bucket Hat Kangol joint on. My pops was like, that's Rakim. That's who you named after.
I just was like, damn. Damn, that got swag. Rocky offers a window into not only a boundary-breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself. Have you ever gotten roasted for any of your outfits? For sure. Some people don't be getting the vision.
Look, they can roast me, they can cook me, they can deep-fry me, they can saute whatever they want. There's nobody who can f*** with my fashion sense and my taste is impeccable. I'm just like, I impress myself a lot. It's an amazing conversation. One you definitely don't want to miss. So listen to The Questlove Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?
To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.
Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. Thank you. Thank you. This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we've got some incredible guests like Kumail Nanjiani. Let's start with your cat. How is she? She is not with us anymore. Okay, great, great, great way to start.

Chapter 3: What does Brendan Banfield's decision to testify mean for the trial?
It's a really dark purple. As I'm saying this. Is that a magenta? I've never seen that on a map. It actually looks like Armageddon on the weather map right now. Is that the United States? Yes. You can't see any land. It's just a massive system of snow and ice over the entire... And it's like the deepest purple and pink you can imagine. We inserted a weather report. Sorry. Sorry.
Because it is a part of this story with this trial. But look... Whether the jury has to take a few days off and still hear more testimony or a few days off and get to closing arguments, I don't know how big of a difference that's going to make in terms of the trial itself. You want to make sure that the defense has enough time to present what they want to present in the timeline they want to.
And the prosecution has to have the right for a rebuttal. Maybe she's got a vacation coming up. Yeah. We'll see. In fact, I might start keeping count if she starts to insert herself again when they come back from lunch. She's done a good job. She's been good, but yes, I think she's ready. She's ready to go home and batten down the hatches.
But we will, of course, continue to watch the trial today. We just wanted to hop on and let you know what has happened. This has been a hell of a day in court, and it's about to get even bigger when we finally hear... I can't believe I'm saying this, from Brendan Banfield himself. So stay tuned. We will, of course, keep you updated. But in the meantime, thank you so much for listening, everybody.
