NO WADE SLANDER Jul 24, 2026

Show notes

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses pregnancy loss, murder, infant death, violence, and other disturbing details that may be difficult for some listeners.

Kail sits down with Wade, Cody, and Stephanie from Netflix’s Maternal Instincts to unpack what the documentary left out and clear up some of the biggest questions surrounding the case. They share new details about the lies, manipulation, fake identities & financial schemes, that happened behind the scenes and explain why the reality was far more complicated than it appeared from the outside.

Wade also opens up about how he was portrayed, what viewers didn’t see about his life at the time, and the unanswered questions he still carries years later. Together, they reflect on the aftermath, rebuilding their friendship, and how they’re honoring Reagan and her daughter moving forward.

Elijah Scott Not Williams Jul 17, 2026

Show notes

This week Kail sits down with country artist Elijah Scott—the singer, not her baby daddy after a viral internet mix-up convinced millions they share a child. Elijah explains how the confusion reached his actual family, why one of Kail’s sons made the rumor surprisingly believable, and how a random DM turned into this episode.

They also talk about his unexpected rise from karaoke to millions of streams, navigating country music as an artist who doesn’t fit the industry’s traditional image, life on tour, and the consistency it takes to turn viral attention into a real career.
