On this episode of The Neal Larson Show, Neal and Julie deliver a lively and wide-ranging conversation covering everything from local headlines to national controversy.
The show opens with a humorous local endorsement segment for massage chairs at 7-Eleven and transitions quickly into more serious news: an orca grooming behavior study leads to a fascinating discussion about animal intelligence, tool use, and even a joking comparison to Tinder—yes, with aliens. The banter continues with a comparison to gorilla behavior and a humorous tangent about aliens holding up humans like fish in Tinder profile photos.
The tone shifts as the hosts report on two breaking local stories: a pedestrian struck on I-15 and a disturbing Amber Alert involving two missing teens from Jefferson County. The conversation dives deep into the unsettling connection between the children’s disappearance and the imprisoned FLDS leader Warren Jeffs. The hosts express grave concern over letters from Jeffs suggesting ritualistic death as a path to purity, drawing chilling parallels to the Vallow-Daybell case.
Neal and Julie also take aim at judicial overreach, focusing on Judge Brian Murphy’s defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that clears the way for deporting certain violent illegal aliens. They question how a lower court judge could ignore the highest court’s authority, speculate about possible consequences, and express hope that ICE will act swiftly. The discussion includes a fiery critique of the judicial system and inconsistent political outrage depending on party affiliation.
Later in the episode, the show takes a lighter turn as Neal talks about his thriving tomato plants, playfully comparing them to well-raised children and giving credit to Town and Country Gardens for gardening advice. The friendly and quirky tone returns briefly before pivoting again to national topics.
The hosts close the show discussing Trump’s recent precision military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. They express disbelief over the lack of recognition from mainstream media and Democrats, despite the mission’s success and lack of American casualties. They cite commentators like Chris Christie and John Fetterman as rare examples of bipartisan acknowledgment, and criticize the partisan media for reflexively refusing to credit Trump or the military.
As the show ends, Neal previews an upcoming appearance by Senator Mike Crapo, promising further insights into a politically intense week.
