Another (Allegedly) Awful Husband, a much nicer cliff! In this midweek mini, we discuss what we know so far about the Gerhardt Konig case. We talk about the facts of what likely happened, detail the allegations of power and control and abuse, and compare this case with some of our past (least) favorite forced cliff diving coaches (ew, Steve!). Be sure to check out our merch store for the newest drops!

The narrative surrounding Natalia Grace is filled with confusion and conflicting accounts. In this episode, we dissect the timeline and dig into the truth surrounding her age, while also holding her adoptive parents accountable for their deeply troubling behavior. We discuss the potential psychological factors influencing the parents, such as histrionic personality disorder and narcissism, and how reactive attachment may have manifested in Natalia's actions. Our central focus remains on the fact that, irrespective of her age, Natalia was fundamentally failed by the adults in her life, through no fault of her own.

'Adolescence' on Netflix offers a chilling portrayal of youth violence. This week, Nat and Jeannine, along with our husbands, unpack the series (spoilersahead!). We discuss its psychological realism, particularly the unpredictable nature of young offenders and the complexities of pre-trial evaluations. The conversation then shifts to the challenges of parenting in the digital age, the impact of cyberbullying, and a vital exploration of the red pill and incel movements. The husbands offer their perspectives on toxic masculinity and how manosphere influencers manipulate the concept of 'traditional' masculinity to ensnare young men.
