Does the Epstein Case Have Anything to do with Nancy Gutherie Missing?

·21 min·2 clips

A caller claims Savannah Guthrie's mother was kidnapped as payback for interviewing Epstein victims.

The episode opens with Dana Cortez and her co-hosts discussing a trip to TJ Maxx, where Dana avoids shopping for clothes but buys a molcajete, leading to a conversation about shopping as a harmful hobby. The show then shifts to its main topic: a conspiracy theory about Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping in Tucson, Arizona. Callers suggest it's connected to her daughter Savannah Guthrie's journalism on Jeffrey Epstein, including interviews with victims and questioning Bill Gates on the Today Show. Dana examines Bill Gates' admission of ties to Epstein and Melinda Gates' public comments, pondering if the kidnapping threatens reporters. The episode transitions to hip-hop, with Jay-Z's GQ interview where he critiques the Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef, especially the 'certified pedophile' line and its real-world impact. A segment on a 10-pound chocolate bunny at Costco follows, with humorous banter about overindulgence, including Dana's story of eating too much frosting as a child. The show concludes with nostalgic discussions of PE games like parachute and Red Rover, and a brief mention of push-up tests. Throughout, the format blends interview-style analysis with casual co-host conversations, touching on themes of conspiracy, media ethics, celebrity culture, and personal reflection.

As heard by us

A missing-person question, a TJ Maxx confession, and Jay-Z's beef history drive one restless conversation.

The episode takes a serious question about victims and a mother taken from her home and folds it into a wider, messier social conversation. It leaves some room for uncertainty before veering into Dana Cortez's TJ Maxx run for dish gloves, a cat bowl, and a baby molcajete.
