Liss’N Kristi

Happy New Year to all Liss 'N Kristi viewers and listeners.

Where have we been the past few weeks? The answer is Kristi has been sick, and we've both been raising money like crazy for her non-profit K9s4Cops and K9s4kids - both of which are shortly to be relaunched under the name k9s.org 

In this episode, selling fashion-conscious apparel on "Whatnot" - as they say we "buy, sell and go live".

Meanwhile, Kristi is having her tonsils out, even though her doctor told her he rarely does the procedure on a "woman of fifty". She's figuring out how to host the show without a voice for a few weeks :-)

Today, a true crime mystery which appears to be a shocking example of the kind of domestic violence against women which is often overlooked in society. 

Kristi and Alissa look at the case of Suzanne Simpson, a high-end real estate broker from San Antonio, Texas, allegedly battered, murdered and dumped by Brad - her husband of 22 years. 

He is now in jail awaiting hearings. Her remains haven't been found. 

The story has captured people's attention around the world. So many female victims of domestic violence are reluctant to report it. 

In this episode, Liss 'N Kristi are appealing to the victims for the courage to speak out, and they offer help and support.

This week, we're on our way to St Louis, MO., to record the podcast "The Brighter Side of Blue" which highlights the great work police officers do in American communities. 

On the way, we discuss Starbucks' Cardamom Coffee, Elon Musk's new Robovan, and - most extensively - the ongoing saga of P'Nut the Squirrel. It started out as a public health alert, but has mushroomed into a big political issue in New York. There's a perception that the state interfered needlessly in a dispute which, bizarrely, also involves the porn site "Only Fans". Kristi has the very latest on our road trip. Also check out her podcast appearances in the coming days (links below).

Today, we're in Houston getting some "skin deep" treatments from Jamie Marcelletti, M.A., who has established herself as one of the city's most respected aesthetic injectors. With 20 years of experience, she has turned her knowledge of facial and body contouring into an age-defying art form. Kristi gets the "PRF" treatment, a pioneering procedure that utilizes platelet-rich fiber injections to regenerate bones, and enhance facial appearance.

Alissa gets PCDC injections, known as Kybella. They break down fat cells and encourage natural elimination, all while tightening the skin. Many of the procedures Jamie carries out also mitigate bone loss.

Did Sean "Diddy" Combs orchestrate a web of sex, drugs and violence scandals that could eclipse the darkest Hollywood tales? 

After a federal grand jury in New York indicted the 54-year-old, and a judge ordered him to a notorious jail, we examine the history of the torrid accusations and rumours, and ask whether society is finally closing in on wealthy abusers.  Kristi tells of her time at the Playboy Mansion: "I never saw any oil, I never saw naked bodies" but she also recounts the story of when she was propositioned on the floor of the US Senate.  

The charges against Combs include sex offenses and transportation for prostitution, with the indictment claiming he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct." 

His lawyer, Mark Agnifilo maintained at Combs' initial court appearance that his client is "an innocent man with nothing to hide."

This is part two of our conversation with JP Davis, a social entrepreneur nicknamed "The Pride of Kentucky" and an uber-fundraiser for good causes. JP has agreed to support Kristi's non-profit K9s4COPS and K9s4KIDS, which deploys canines and their handlers to protect schoolchildren, hunt down narcotics and dealers, and combat crime across the US.   

JP is a gay man who bucks the perception that Louisville is only for straights, describing himself to friends as a "proud, Appalachian homo". 

He's enjoyed a stellar career which has taken him from White House Intern under George Bush Jr., to assistant to a Conservative member of the UK Parliament, to returning to Louisville to launch his consulting firm, JP Davis Partners.  

He believes the best politicians see themselves as public servants, and all political dialogue should start "with empathy". He condemns the adversarial nature of today's politics on both sides. But he's optimistic, believing that more people than ever are questioning what they hear, and thinking independently.
