• Roasting the Broligarchy: Unrequited Desire for Greenland, Breaking Wisconsin Election Laws, and Awakening the Alien Enemies Act

  As the country waits to see if the approximately $80-100 million the broligarchy spent trying to sway voters in Wisconsin's judicial election pays off, breaking their election laws in the process, we review other major news of the past week. That includes an ill-fated trip to Greenland, news of Twitter's sale, a mini-exodus from Yale professors, the importance of due process, an update on the Signal text chain, plus ABC/Disney learning that a bully is never satisfied. BONUS: Why Dolly Parton is the best, and a warped Sesame Street episodeAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

• Book Review: 'Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men'

  The first installment in the "Low Pressure Book Club Series" is a review of 'Why Does He Do That?' by Lundy Bancroft. Packed with helpful lists of warning signs, debunked excuses, and key signs of abuse, this book was written to provide insight into the minds of men who don't respect their partners. Throughout, I work to explain unacceptable behaviors by comparing them to similar ones displayed by men on Bravo. The author relies on his 30+ years of counseling men to identify contributing factors and presents a path to change that relies solely on the angry man reaching a point where that anger no longer serves him.Unfortunately, this review begins by discussing recently shared allegations by several women that say Lundy weaponized that same extensive counseling experience to prey upon their vulnerabilities. As a result, a book that presents a thesis that abusers are made, not born, now serves as a helpful guide in more ways than its author intended. https://cryingoutforjustice.blog/2025/01/30/lundy-bancroft-is-a-predator/ All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

• Recap: RHOBH Finale Part 2 - S14E17, plus Girardi Legal Updates

  After an update on more blowback from Boz and Erika's 'Watch What Happens Live' digs at Garcelle's departure, the final moments of the finale are summarized. Mid-recap, I delay this pod by taking a break after hearing Erika still describe Tom as an accomplished lawyer. Then, a review of news from 2024 about Dorit and PK's pre-foreclosure from four months of missed house payments, on top of previously reported tax liens. Plus, updated legal info about two major lawsuits facing Erika, Tom's sentencing, and my recommendation on casting to save the franchise from clique fakery.

• Recap: RHOBH Finale Part 1, S14E17 - A Caribbean Send Off

  This extended finale required a two-part recap. We pick up on Sutton's trial at sea and shift into birthday dinner gear for Erika and Dorit. Sutton's delayed appearance, and hesitance to join, is a topic of conversation as Jennifer Tilly tries in vain to help her friend navigate a situation that neither feel like she can win. Garcelle finally approaches Kyle about not sticking up for Sutton, but her choice to teach Sutton a lesson by also not standing up for her on the boat leaves that critique falling flat. Meanwhile, Dorit and Erika continue to be the two off-base friends nodding and telling each other "exactly" as Boz works to connect with Sutton while appearing to lean further and further into clique territory. Kathy's all out of F's to give this episode, giving me the giggles and starting a new ice bag accessory trend.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

• Roasting The Broligarchy: Detainment Chaos, Feckless Law firms, and Mishandling Sensitive Information

  The purpose of this new spin-off pod is to look back at the week and review the most horrifying and cringe-worthy political moves and blunders from America’s Broligarchy era. Much of it is serious but some of it is absolute idiocy, either way, the hope is that you walk away knowing more about current political events after listening. All sources of information are listed on the Patreon. There's never a dull day in the Broligarchy but the past week was one for the history books. Between the move to begin dismantling the Department of Education after selling Tesla's on the White House lawn, to seeing prestigious law firms acquiesce, then hearing about for-profit detention center horror stories, listening to a leaked audio that's allegedly of the VP, and then learning about an unbelievably massive security breach via cell phone, all while a once-bold billionaire does his best Ruprecht character work, it's been a doozy.
