The headlines feel like they’re written by a prankster, so we start where any sane Tuesday begins: an April Fool’s argument about Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and whether “What A Fool Believes” can possibly be called a cover. Then the mood shifts hard into a true crime mystery that’s been eating at us, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother. With a $1 million reward, cameras everywhere, and weeks gone by, we keep coming back to the same question: what motive makes sense, and why does it still feel like nobody knows anything?

From there we jump to Jerusalem and Palm Sunday reporting about access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, plus the way a single claim can turn into global outrage when people are already raw. Anne brings lived experience from Israel and pushes back on what sounds exaggerated, while we talk about why sources matter, what gets lost in translation, and how fear travels faster than facts.

The back half turns into a whirlwind of modern anxiety and very real consequences: rumors of boots on the ground in Iran, a teacher accused of bringing marijuana to school to sell to minors, and the rise of AI music and AI-generated junk that’s slipping onto charts. We also get personal about how AI can be used for harassment and stalking, then zoom out to public health with measles surging again. We end on incarceration stories and deaths in custody, then take one last sharp detour into the bizarre with “baloney pockets,” plus pop culture check-ins from The Hail Mary Project to celebrity image changes and classic-rock cameos.
