In September of 2024, P. Diddy was indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, transportation for purposes of prostitution, narcotics charges, arson, assault. He was accused with creating “ a criminal enterprise in which he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct". He has obviously pled not guilty and has been denied bail, so he remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. On October 1, 2024, the Washington Post reported that a team of lawyers will be filing as many as 120 more lawsuits, covering assaults that took place during the 2000s and 2010s. There are 120 plaintiffs, 25 of whom were minors with the youngest being 9 years old. They are both male and female, and half of the alleged victims say they reported the assault to police, to a doctor, or to the FBI. There are apparently 3,000 abuse allegations, and over 100 additional cases being actively examined. Prosecutors announced that there are more co-defendants to be named, and they said, "The names that we're going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you. I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders, that is those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing. And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are."

Diet Coke: Refreshing Treat or Silent Killer?
**Discussion begins at 3:20**
Diet Coke is a sugar-free soft drink produced by The Coca-Cola Company. It's a variation of the classic Coca-Cola, but instead of sugar, it uses the artificial sweetener aspartame to provide a sweet taste without the calories. Diet sodas became popular in the 1960s and 1970s, as consumers became more health-conscious, leading to a growing demand for low-calorie alternatives to traditional sugary sodas. Diet Coke was introduced by The Coca-Cola Company on July 9, 1982. It was developed as a new brand rather than a diet version of Coca-Cola. The idea was to create a distinct product that would appeal to consumers looking for a low-calorie option. The introduction of Diet Coke was a major success, and it quickly became one of the leading diet sodas in the market. Its success can be attributed to its distinctive taste, effective marketing, and the growing trend towards healthier eating and drinking habits. For nearly half a century, Diet Coke has remained a popular beverage. At the same time, however, it has been blamed for contributing to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. What is the truth? Are the risks exaggerated, and if so why? Or... Is Diet Coke merely a refreshing treat to be enjoyed in moderation?

**Discussion begins at 5:00**
Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti. Skunk Ape. Whatever name, we all grew up hearing stories of the mysterious large, hairy, bipedal creatures - creatures that have been spotted in every state in the United States and on almost every continent, yet their existence cannot be verified. In the United States, Sasquatch sightings were first reported by Native Americansand persist today. Are these creatures real? What do we make of the photographs, video and audio recordings, hair samples, and tracks that have been observed and reported? And if they are real, what are they? Are they descendants of ancient apes? Or are they an unclassified species of humans?
