In this episode, me and Jus go frame-by-frame through the George Floyd arrest, the Derek Chauvin trials, and the one topic that still splits rooms in half in 2025.

We lay it all out — no scripted talking points, no forced reverence:

• The full arrest timeline (from the fake $20 to the 9+ minutes on the ground) 
• Toxicology bombshell: 11 ng/mL fentanyl (medical examiner said “fatal under normal circumstances”), methamphetamine, THC, plus severe heart disease 
• Defense argument: Floyd was dying before the knee even touched his neck 
• Prosecution experts: Drugs didn’t kill him — asphyxia from the restraint did 
• Why the jury rejected the overdose theory and convicted on murder 
• The Thin Blue Line culture: Does it protect cops or enable bad ones? 
• Chauvin’s 22.5-year federal sentence and the 2025 appeals status 
• Biggest question on the table: Knowing everything we know now — drugs, health, training, policy — should Derek Chauvin still be in prison?

100% facts, court docs, bodycam, autopsy reports, and trial testimony. We’re not here to riot or rehab anyone’s image — just to ask the questions most shows won’t touch.

In this gut-wrenching episode, me and Jus sit down to talk about one of the most disturbing prison stories you’ll ever hear: 22-year-old Daniel Williams, a father of two, was literally hours away from walking free after serving a one-year sentence… when he was allegedly drugged, bound, tortured, and sexually assaulted for days inside Staton Correctional Facility.

By the time guards finally found him, he was brain-dead. He was taken off life support on the exact day he was scheduled to be released — November 9, 2023.

We break down: 

• How Daniel ended up in a violently overcrowded Alabama prison (running at 275% capacity) 
• The accused attacker: an inmate with NINE prior documented sexual assaults who was still housed in general population 
• The lawsuit claiming guards ignored screams and obvious signs of torture for days 
• Zero criminal charges filed against the perpetrator — almost two years later 
• Alabama’s prison crisis: 325 deaths in 2023 alone, DOJ calling the entire system unconstitutional 
• The bigger question: How does a non-violent offender die on his very last day behind bars?

100% based on federal lawsuits, autopsy reports, DOJ findings, and public records. No sensationalism — just the infuriating facts.

In this unfiltered podcast episode, me and Jus go DEEP into one of the craziest hypothetical questions out there: If you’re out on the open ocean and spot an obvious cartel “coke boat” or narco-sub loaded with drugs… is it actually legal to blow it up?

We break down:

• International maritime law & the high seas
• UNCLOS rules on piracy vs. drug trafficking
• Real cases of coast guards and navies sinking drug boats
• Could a private citizen legally do it? (Spoiler: it’s complicated)
• Vigilante justice, self-defense claims, and why the Coast Guard can get away with stuff you can’t

100% discussion and legal hypotheticals — no advocacy of illegal activity whatsoever. Just two guys trying to figure out where the line actually is when it comes to billion-dollar drug runners on the open water.

Every guru talks about “ideas,” “branding,” and “scaling”… but the two things that actually murder most businesses are the ones nobody wants to admit:

1. Running out of new customers (lead gen never stops) 
2. Watching your best people walk out the door

In this straight-up episode, me and Jus rip the band-aid off and talk about the real killers of small business in 2025.

We get into: 

• Why cold outreach still works better than most $20k/month ad accounts
   The only 3 lead sources that haven’t been ruined yet
   How to keep A-players when big companies are throwing $10k signing bonuses
   The brutal math of employee turnover (spoiler: one bad hire/quitter can cost you cost 6 figures)
   Why “we’re a family” culture is cringe and doesn’t pay rent
   Real systems so you’re not personally begging for sales or babysitting grown adults every day

If you’ve ever stared at an empty calendar or got that “I’m leaving” text from your best employee… this episode will hit hard.

Buckle up for one of the most jaw-dropping true crime stories we've ever covered—the 2023 murder of Johnathan Willette, who was brutally bludgeoned and decapitated in his Henderson, Nevada home by his ex-partner, Devyn Michaels (aka former adult film star Nikki Fairchild and Tracee Tavarez). But here's where it gets wild: At the time of the killing, Michaels was married to Johnathan's own adult son from another relationship, Deviere Willette, in a tangled web of jealousy, custody battles, and forbidden romance that screams straight out of a psychological thriller.

Jus and I unpack the chilling timeline: How Michaels allegedly lured Johnathan over for a "massage" while he was set to move back in, only to smash his skull with a fireplace tool, sever his head (which she later dumped in a neighborhood trash bin), and pour chemicals over his body to cover her tracks. We dive into the trial bombshells from November 2025—her flipped guilty plea, the missing murder weapon, blood-free surveillance footage that had the defense salivating, and that eerie confession to cops she later tried to bury. Plus, the eerie connection to her ex-husband, Robert Louis Baker, who was convicted of another infamous beheading murder in California.

From the courtroom drama (she's facing 51 years to life, sentencing Jan. 8, 2026) to the online frenzy questioning if Deviere was really asleep through it all, this case exposes the dark side of obsession and family betrayal. Was it premeditated fury over losing custody of their two daughters, or something even more sinister? We break it all down with timelines, key evidence, and our hottest takes.

True crime fans, this one's a blood-soaked fever dream you won't forget. Hit play, lock your doors, and tell us: Guilty as charged, or reasonable doubt? Drop your theories below—we're reading them all. 🩸🔪 #BeheadingMurder #DevynMichaelsTrial

In this intense and eye-opening episode, me and Jus break down Alabama’s execution of Anthony Boyd Jr. on October 23, 2025 — the eighth person in U.S. history to face death by nitrogen hypoxia, and the state's most controversial yet.

We cover it all: 

• The 1993 crime: the kidnapping and burning alive of Gregory Huguley over a $200 drug debt 
• Why Alabama chose nitrogen gas (and how it's supposed to work) 
• Eyewitness accounts of Boyd's "violent thrashing," over 225 agonized breaths, and a 19+ minute struggle — longer than any prior case 
• Supreme Court dissent by Justice Sotomayor calling it "cruel" and a violation of the 8th Amendment 
• Comparisons to Kenneth Smith's 2024 execution and the growing lawsuits against the method 
• The core debate: Is nitrogen "humane" innovation or just rebranded torture? And what does this mean for the future of capital punishment?

This is 100% based on court records, witness statements, and verified news — no sensationalism, just raw facts and thoughtful analysis to spark real conversation.

In this intense deep dive, Macky Outlaw links up with Jus to break down the shadowy worlds of the Aryan Brotherhood and Southern Brotherhood—two notorious white supremacist prison gangs with roots in hate, violence, and organized crime. From the AB's origins in 1960s California prisons as a "blood in, blood out" shield against desegregation, to their deadly alliances (like with the Mexican Mafia), drug empires, and disproportionate role in prison murders, we trace the history of the nation's oldest and deadliest neo-Nazi syndicate. Then, we shift south to the Southern Brotherhood (aka Dead Man Incorporated in some circles), exploring its rise in the Dixie prisons, rivalries with the AB, and how these groups fuel extremism both behind bars and on the streets. Real stories, red flags, and why their "brotherhood" is anything but. 

Trigger warning: discussions of white supremacy, violence, gang activity, and extremism.

In this no-holds-barred episode of Hidden Threads® – the podcast that unravels the lies we live – host Macky Outlaw
@MackyOutlaw teams up with veteran PI Jus Majusiak to spill EVERY dirty trick in the book for catching cheaters cold. We're talking GPS beacons that ping "affair alert," drone flyovers nailing rooftop rendezvous, burner phone forensics that recover "deleted" sexts, and social media honeytraps that make side-chicks slide into DMs on cue.

Macky and Jus drop insane real-case bombs: the high-powered exec whose Apple Watch heart-rate spike ratted out a mid-hookup cardio session, the "girls' night" that ended in a strip club parking lot sting, and the spouse who thought Venmo privacy settings were foolproof (spoiler: they're not). We break down the tech that's dooming modern cheaters – cloud backups, Ring doorbell archives, location history betrayals – plus timeless classics like tailing in unmarked vans and pretexting as delivery drivers for that perfect doorstep gotcha.

Dive deep into the chilling rumor that's got New England on edge in 2025: a suspected serial killer dumping bodies across remote woods from Connecticut to Maine. What started with a hiker's grim discovery in March has exploded into 13+ cases, fueling viral TikToks, Facebook panic groups, and #NESK theories of a nomadic predator lurking in the pines. But is there really a monster out there, or is it just algorithms amplifying isolated tragedies in opioid-hit backwoods?

Join host Macky Outlaw, the rogue investigator who's seen more dark trails than most, as he teams up with Grok (built by xAI) – the AI that cuts through the BS with cold, hard data. We break down the timeline: skeletal remains in CT, blunt force in RI, homicides in MA and beyond. Cops say no links – no matching DNA, no consistent MO – yet social media sleuths connect dots to the '80s and logging road nightmares.
