This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. 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.

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.
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.

Anybody mind if I riker with the chair here a little bit? Welcome to Behind the Bastards Live, our first live show. This is our first live show in a little while because I don't like leaving the house and am a deranged shut-in who's increasingly losing his connection to the world and reality. Like a lot of people, presidents, for example. Before we get into the show today, I have a couple of very special people to introduce. First off, my producer and business partner, the inimitable Sophie Lichterman!
And then, of course, our guest for tonight, the host of Hood Politics and my good friend, Jason Petty, a.k.a. Prop.
Hey.
Yeah, what's clackamasin'? You know what I'm sayin'?
How y'all feelin'? I've been planning that one all day, you know what I'm saying? Let's clack a message. We workshopped that. That was like $40,000 in development. Jay Leno's writers don't come cheap. But worth it, obviously. Clearly. So welcome, everybody. Thank you for dealing with the line, the security measures and stuff. I think for obvious reasons, we're all a little bit extra careful these days.
Why did something happen?
No, not that I'm aware of. Oh, okay. So we've got a special night planned for everybody. First, I want to thank all of you for coming out and supporting the Portland Defense Fund.
It's a really good cause, and y'all have raised north of $30,000 so far for them.
What is the significance of Bo Gritz in American history?
Thank you. That goes a long way, and especially considering most of the people who need help with that. We're talking about, like, houseless folks. We're talking about people who have absolutely no access to resources. And this is the only lifeline they're going to get and the only help they're going to get. So thank you all for helping to keep that lifeline alive.
Round of applause for you.
Yeah, yeah. Round of applause for everybody in the audience except one of you motherfuckers. They know who they are.
Not you, Mom.
Also, just a quick show of hands because it's a gang of white people in here.
