The Madison, Wisconsin school shooting shocked the country—but media coverage barely scratches the surface. In this episode, Ryan goes beyond headlines to ask: is this really about guns, or are we avoiding the real conversation?
You’ll get:
The facts about the shooter and her obsession with previous mass killers
A blunt look at mental health and gender identity in violence
Why the Madison police chief and elected officials are dodging hard questions
Plus: universal healthcare debates, dog-sitter scandals, and a 106-year-old woman who celebrates her birthday with Fireball Whiskey
It’s a chaotic, controversial ride through reality—and the kind of episode that explains why this show exists.
