Episode 442

Jamingo's Body Junk Yard | 441

Harvard is paying $53 million after its own morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, got caught running a black-market body parts ring out of Harvard Medical School for years — heads, faces, skin, hands, stolen from donated cadavers and sold to buyers in three states. One buyer wanted skin tanned into a book. John and the Duchess dig into how an elite institution either missed or ignored a five-year operation happening inside its own building — and yeah, the episode title is exactly what you think it is.

Also tonight: the FBI seized former Congressman Eric Swalwell's phone and raided his DC home — but the story didn't break for four days, and John wanted to know why. AI cohost Claudia had real answers about how sealed federal warrants work, and the timing lines up suspiciously well with a separate White House document dump on Swalwell's decade-old ties to a Chinese intelligence operative. Then Sen. Jon Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" dig at Trump blows up into a full aide controversy, complete with wild — and entirely unverified — stories about Natalie Harp sleeping in a locker room and riding in a Suburban's trunk.

Plus: 14 people charged in a Penn State cocaine ring where the alleged ringleader nicknamed himself "Pablo Pledgescobar," a Florida road-rage fight that ended with a bitten-off ear, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reigniting a real Daily Wire fight between Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, and a live game to crown the official Boomer Bunker "male Karen" using real one-star review data. Spoiler: it's not Chad.
