How Men Think

70-year-old Howie Mandel called out Kelly and Mark this week for saying that he looks great, right after he told them his age. Mandel compared it to someone saying “You’re smart for a stupid person.”  It got us thinking about how many other backhanded compliments we’ve received over the years, and there are a plenty. Also, we go over a very simple way to avoid ever making someone uncomfortable while trying to say something nice… there are at least three words you should NEVER include in a compliment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie sat down with Hoda Kotb for her first interview since her 84-year-old mom Nancy went missing 54 days ago. Savannah talked about the disbelief and chaos in the first few days after Nancy disappeared, and the almost immediate conclusion she and her siblings came to: that Nancy was likely kidnapped for ransom. Savannah goes on to say she believes the two ransom notes she and her siblings responded to in videos were legitimate. She also says she believes that her fame, and the knowledge of her high income, probably enticed the kidnapper to take her mom in the middle of the night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even Usher himself knew what he was about to say would cause an uproar, when he couched his comments on Sean “Diddy” Combs with “This might be a bit controversial….”  Usher sat down with Forbes in a new interview where he said that he has nothing negative to say about Sean Combs because that was not his experience, and said that Diddy has been “misrepresented.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prosecutors have charged 40-year-old mom Shannon Tufuga with child kidnapping and aggravated child abuse after police say she snatched an 11-year-old off his bike and took him to her home.  Police say Tufuga then forced the child to apologize to her son for allegedly bullying him and threatened him with violence if he did it again. It appears Tufuga has lost her job with Provo City as a crossing guard and is now facing up to 10 years behind bars, but her attorney says there is a whole other side to this story and that the boys’ claims are “not accurate.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump made several appearances today, touting the talks he says the U.S. has had with Iran. Trump says they went so perfectly that if Iran carries through, it will end the conflict. However, Iran is maintaining that “no talks have taken place” and reports to the contrary are fake news.  Despite the confusing messaging, the markets rallied and the price of oil dropped below $100 a barrel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This story just keeps escalating! It began over the weekend when Brazilian soccer player Jorginho Frello first publicly accused Chappell Roan’s “extremely aggressive” security team of being rude to his 11-year-old daughter.  Roan took to instagram to defend herself, saying she never saw any child and it wasn’t her security team that was involved. Then, his wife, singer Catherine Harding, aka Cat Cavelli chimed in and called BS on Roan’s version of events. Adding to that, now the mayor of Rio says Roan is no longer allowed to perform in his city.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump has been on a social media tear, and we’re not sure which post is more concerning.  First Trump has tripled down on Truth Social, writing that ICE agents will be taking over security at our nation’s airports starting Monday.   He’s given Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz, or else.  And he put out a short and not so sweet post saying he was glad our nation’s second longest serving FBI director is dead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lot has happened since Disney announced it was canceling Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette season “at this time.”  First, her ex was granted temporary custody and a restraining order against Paul.

18 years after the kidnapping, rape and murder of a young mother, 54-year-old Michael King died by lethal injection this week. The brutal murder of 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee led to nationwide 9-1-1 reform, as she begged for her life for 6 minutes to dispatchers who somehow never got help to her in time, despite 3 other 9-1-1 calls. The execution chamber was packed with Denise’s family, who had a lot to say after listening to King’s final words, and watching him take his final breaths. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

31-year-old Alexia Moore is behind bars charged with felony murder, after going to the hospital in pain, admitting to staff she took online abortion pills to end her pregnancy. Georgia law bans most abortions after 6 weeks, but police say Moore was between 22 and 24 weeks pregnant when she took the pills that are only meant to be taken to terminate pregnancies of 10 weeks or less. The details of this case are tough to hear, but Moore wound up giving birth to the baby girl in the hospital, who died an hour later. Now the DA must decide whether to prosecute Moore, which would make this the first time a woman would face murder charges for an abortion in the state of Georgia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

31-year-old Taylor Frankie Paul was visibly nervous and uncomfortable during her first live interview on Good Morning America to promote “The Bachelorette.” Paul wasn’t asked a direct question about the domestic violence investigation, rather she was given an “opportunity to respond” to the headlines… and what we heard from Paul was more “poor me” talk. After another question about the reported pause in “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” production, and an “I don’t make the decisions” answer, GMA moved on to promote the new season of “The Bachelorette.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Utah jury of 8 took less than 3 hours to find 35 year old mom of three, Kouri Richins guilty of fatally poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl spiked Moscow mule.   Closing arguments and jury instructions took most of the day, so it was a surprise when they continued to deliberate into the evening to come back with guilty verdicts on all counts.  RIchins’ reaction was palpable as the judge read the the verdicts aloud, her head fell and she never looked up again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kouri RIchins’ defense team put on a fiery closing argument to jurors, insisting the prosecution did not prove Richins purchased Fentanyl and not did prove she gave it to her husband.  The prosecution ended its rebuttal with this final, powerful command: “See through her facade, check her ambition, and do not let her get away with murder.“See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution put on an extremely effective closing today, giving a detailed timeline of what Kouri did NOT do to try and save her husband’s life and appealed to the jury’s common sense for why and how they claim Kouri poisoned her husband. As soon as the prosecution finished, the defense called for a mistrial. The judge denied that motion but did agree to re-instruct the jury after prosecutors compared RIchins to a black widow and  discussed the facial expressions she was making throughout the trial. Next up, the defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
