497: Do It for Juan (from "Murder Under the Friday Night Lights")

Thu, 30 Apr 2026

Juan Joseph was a beloved member of his community, a former high school football star who became a respected coach. The kind of guy who never started fights, but rather always stepped in to try to break them up, Juan was attempting to diffuse a heated situation outside a nightclub in Baton Rouge in the early morning of November 16, 2014, when he was was gunned down. After his killer drove off, Juan's entire community came together to find him and bring him to justice. This is a tragic and freaking HEARTWRENCHING story, Fam. Bring the tissues.

Tue, 28 Apr 2026

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... but maybe not so much in the high-stakes world of Hollywood skin care. Dawn DaLuise, the perhaps self-proclaimed skin guru to the stars, is at the top of her game running her facial spa, but when a rival aesthetician moves in down the block, the fur begins to fly.
