Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — think they know where the finale for the third season of “White Lotus” is headed … (01:42) let’s just say things are seeming mighty familiar there.

(22:09) Speaking of the Murdaugh family … on today’s episode Mandy, Liz and Eric also dive into Buster Murdaugh’s latest filing in his federal defamation case — specifically, the part of the memo that indicates Buster has depositions from people who have personal knowledge of the events that led to Stephen Smith’s death in July 2015 … along with the origins of the rumor that Buster was somehow involved. What do those depositions say? Has he shared them with SLED? And wow are Mandy and Liz left speechless by the Stephen Smith-related news that Eric shares with them while on the topic of Buster’s case.

(07:49) Plus, why would Hunter Biden need Dick Harpootlian to be his attorney?

(54:43) Also, the latest in Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller’s frivolous defamation cases and the quick reopening and reclosing of Chris Skinner’s 2021 death investigation by the Myrtle Beach Police Department. What does it all mean?
