What is the premise of the podcast episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? Who catfishes a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of Footloose? I'm comedian Rory Scovel, and I'm here to tell you Josh Dean and I have a new podcast that celebrates the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. It's called Crimeless, a true crime comedy podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltsin. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed.
It doesn't matter how much I fight. It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? My sister was shot 22 times. A police officer, right? But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue? This dude is the devil. He'll hurt you. This is the story of a detective who thought he was above the law until we came together to take him down. I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. I got you, I got you, I got you. Listen to The Girlfriends, Untouchable, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of Checking In on the Black Effect Podcast Network. You know, we always say new year, new me, but real change starts on the inside.

Oh, God is dead and you, Jamie Loftus, have killed him. I did it. I finally did it. You did it. You did it. No, God was a him and Jamie killed him. Hammer to the back of the head.
And people are going to be critical of that. But, you know, you don't know my story. And in my six part miniseries in which I'm played by Amanda Seyfried, I think you're going to start to see my side of the story. And I think I'm definitely not going to jail for what I did.
That's good. Unlike...
Who is Sam Bankman-Fried and why is he significant?
Founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, who we just found out has been sentenced to 11.25 years in prison.
I'm kind of... Yeah, I have mixed... I have mixed feelings because it's like people don't go... First of all, the prison industrial complex in general... No, it's...
It doesn't make anyone better to the extent that there's value in the present day and putting people in prison. It's people who are like a severe ongoing danger. And I don't see this making anything better. Like at the same time, I hate her. So I don't I'm not going to. She's horrible. It's not going to be the top injustice I rue today.
I do kind of like that her, after being exposed as an unrepentant criminal, she's like, oh, I think I'm just going to kind of be like a normie girl for a while. And I'm going to go to Coachella with my new boyfriend. And you're like, Liz, it's too late. It's too late for that, Liz.

You got caught before too many bodies hit the floor, but that would have stopped you.
But you didn't really care. You applied Steve Jobs logic to something that was not just a silly box to keep in your pocket. Oh, Lizzie.
Lizzie, Lizzie. You know, Lizzie's fucked is what we learned.
Also, putting her in prison for, you know, probably nine years when you consider all of the other things is like... not going to help anything.
