Jeffrey Epstein's longtime Executive Assistant, Lesley Groff, recently testified before Congress for eight hours. This pod reviews and summarizes the questions and answers, stopping to cite any applicable emails from Jmail.world along the way.

The final reunion for the splintered cast of Summer House ends with a thud as Amanda and West continue to give cryptic and conflicting answers to direct questions.

However, the thing that remains clear is the devastating effect their affair has had on a group of people who truly believed they...

In the aftermath of the fight between Liz and JoEllen, the group splinters into factions.

Plus, updates on a tone deaf road trip, more dramatic firings, and an overpriced, gold phon...
