When Brodie and Savannah Richards met in high school, Brodie knew their puppy love was real. In 2016, he told a friend who happened to be taking a video that he was going to marry Savannah and sealed the $10 bet with a handshake. Savannah told People, “His friend was like, ‘You guys are like 15 years old. You’re not gonna get married. That doesn’t happen.’ But it did. We really are just best friends. We fit together from the moment we met. It was so much of a strong friendship that it came so easy to love him. He’s a great guy. If you know Brodie, you love him.” @vannah146 When you know, you know #wedding #highschoolsweethearts #weddingtiktok @Brodie ♬ original sound – Savannah Richards Savannah Didn’t Know Her Husband Bet They’d Get Married For a Long Time Savannah explained to People that she was talking about posting something on social media with the friend who shot the video. News of the footage shocked Savannah. “I asked her to find it. I felt like I had to see it to believe it. Then she sent it to me, I always knew we were going to get married, so I held onto the video for about four years now, just hoping that one day I would be able to have that moment. I wanted to be able to use that video and say, ‘Yeah, we really did it.’ Even when you’re really young, if you know, you know.” The couple got their happily ever after. They share a 1-year-old daughter and said “I do” in April 2024. Savannah told People the friend who shot the video couldn’t attend the wedding celebration. But she had the last laugh. “She did send me a card in the mail with $10 in it,” she added. “So we did get our $10, and we have it framed.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Who knew you could "steal" sand

When Tim Walz surfaced on the campaign trail by himself, the networks glossed over or buried the VP nominee's false claims that he served in war zones. Several showed again a clip of Walz claiming he carried a gun in war, which is not true. But there are many other "stolen valor" clips they could be playing. It's not a one-time offense. Most networks buried the Washington Examiner scoop on Walz's meetings with a pro-Hamas, Hitler-admiring imam in Minnesota who he lauded as a "master teacher." Imam Asad Zaman has touted a documentary about Adolf Hitler called The Greatest Story Never Told. Is that some "master teaching?" Managing Editor Curtis Houck joins the show to explain the Walz coverage (and non-coverage). We also discuss his wildly successful video tweet of Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson turning up at the White House briefing to ask if the federal government will "intervene" in Elon Musk's planned conversation with Donald Trump. Who needs free speech in America?  Now that Joe Biden isn't running for president anymore, we witness The New York Times filing a story on how Hunter Biden tried to use State Department contacts in Italy to build his Ukrainian lobbying client Burisma. Even that paper's unearned prestige spurred just a story and a half across the broadcast networks.  CNN contributor David Frum is creating a ruckus by wackily comparing Donald Trump to Charles Manson, and by claiming J.D. Vance somehow wants to expose Tim Walz as a semen-drinking pervert. Frum said "what he’s trying to suggest is that Tim Walz is a sexual deviant of some kind.” Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
