Armchair Anonymous: News Ii | Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard
Callers share a string of newsworthy personal incidents, beginning with a Durham 2020 episode where roommates found a running car and a distressed child after the vehicle was stolen and later abandoned; one roommate, Beth, gave an awkward on‑camera interview. Another caller recalls a 1992 transatlantic flight in which passengers fell ill after duty‑free wine, leading to a messy onboard escalation, hazmat‑like response in Seattle, triage and hospital checks. Subsequent stories include a late‑1990s school case involving a hidden paring knife, zero‑tolerance suspension and legal battles that drew national coverage, and accounts from Lydia and others who survived stray‑bullet shootings at restaurants—detailing chaos, emergency care, surgery, long recovery and the emotional and legal aftermath.Episode guide
Why America’s Police Are Underprepared Compared To Europe | Experts On Expert
The speakers compare policing in U.S. cities to Western European counterparts, using Berlin and Los Angeles as a benchmark. They note large differences in staffing: the LAPD has about 8,000 officers while comparable European cities employ far more policing and civilian support staff. The discussion argues Europe and the U.S. spend similar shares of GDP on public safety but allocate funds differently—Europe favors policing, the U.S. favors incarceration—and suggests more officers would allow community engagement, faster response times and less need for shows of force. They claim understaffing helps explain higher rates of police violence in the United States.Episode guide
Test Driving Ferrari’s, Malcolm Gladwell, & Road Rage | Fact Check For Malcolm Gladwell
Dax Shepard and Monica Padman open with casual banter about recent events, outfits and a last-minute shopping rescue before moving to everyday service frustrations like phone annoyances and a delayed ENT sleep-test telehealth call. They then debate consumer controversies sparked by a viral incident involving Kelly Clarkson and a Brooklyn shop’s animatronic bird, weighing when public figures should name small businesses and how security footage affects reputation. The hosts discuss the ethics of browsing luxury stores without buying—when sales staff deserve consideration and how pay structure matters—and Dax recounts a tense driveway confrontation. That leads into praise for Malcolm Gladwell, a brief dispute over a magazine citation, and discussion of U.S. police pay, overtime, staffing and a historical murder–suicide tied to New York’s Sullivan Act.Episode guide
Liz Plank | Mom's Car
Liz Plank joins Dax Shepard and Aaron Weakley for a conversation about dating, public relationships and the expectations men and women bring to partnership. A discussion of soft-launching a boyfriend leads into past unhealthy relationships, embarrassment after breakups and the temptation to treat a partner as a renovation project. They debate online messages about independence, the unequal risks of dating and the difference between healthy standards and demanding perfection. Parenthood, isolation and the value of collective support become another focus. The conversation closes by emphasizing vulnerability, realistic expectations and the possibility of growing together rather than choosing between blanket judgments about either gender.Episode guide
