What makes someone go from studying crime to allegedly committing it?

In this chilling discussion, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psychological makeup of individuals who cross the line from academic curiosity to violent obsession. Was substance abuse a trigger, or was it simply a symptom of something much darker? What role do years of violent fantasies play in shaping a killer? And perhaps most disturbingly, what does it say when family members aren’t entirely shocked when their loved one is accused of a horrific crime?

With eerie hindsight, even the suspect’s criminology research seems to hint at something more than just academic interest. Was he studying crime to prevent it—or to perfect it?

What happens when someone who studies crime allegedly becomes the criminal? That’s the eerie question swirling around Bryan Kohberger, a criminology student now accused of one of the most brutal mass murders in recent history. With his psychiatric and medical records now in the hands of prosecutors, the debate deepens—was this the work of a methodical mind with severe personality pathology, or could an underlying mental illness play a role in his fate?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins to analyze what, if anything, these records might reveal about Kohberger’s psychological makeup. Could they influence sentencing? Do they hint at early struggles that went unnoticed? And does any of it change the weight of personal accountability in crimes like this?

At the end of the day, is it nature, nurture, or just a cold, calculated choice?

What happens when two of the most controversial figures in entertainment collide in a storm of scandal, delusion, and alleged criminality? Kanye West, in what can only be described as his latest unhinged crusade, has taken it upon himself to champion Sean "Diddy" Combs—who, in case you missed it, is currently facing federal sex trafficking charges. But Kanye being Kanye, he couldn’t stop there. His defense of Diddy comes with a side of Nazi admiration, Me Too bashing, and a fashion giveaway for Diddy’s kids, because priorities.

Meanwhile, Diddy—despite, you know, his current situation—actually thanked Kanye from behind bars. Which raises the question: what in the world is going on with these two? Is Kanye spiraling through another manic episode, or is there something more sinister at play? And why would Diddy, who should probably be focusing on his legal defense, attach himself to Kanye instead of running for the metaphorical hills?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins to dissect the bizarre psychology behind their behavior, the impact of alleged past trauma on Diddy’s children, and whether anyone caught in this whirlwind of dysfunction can truly break free. Can they, though? Or are they too far gone?

How do you go from studying criminology to becoming the accused in one of the most gruesome mass murders in recent history? That's the question looming over the case of Bryan Kohberger, and new revelations about his psychiatric and medical records might just provide some answers. With Idaho law taking the insanity defense off the table, these records could still play a major role—especially when it comes to sentencing.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down what these records might reveal. Could they confirm long-standing struggles with mental health, or is something much darker at play? From obsessive tendencies and self-medication to an alleged history of detachment and disturbing fantasies, Kohberger’s psychological profile raises chilling questions. When family members aren’t surprised that someone they love has been accused of such horrors, what does that really say about the warning signs?

Jody Hildebrandt—trusted therapist or master manipulator? When does self-improvement cross the line into psychological control? With lawsuits mounting and a chilling documentary laying bare her methods, it’s time to ask: how does someone like Hildebrandt amass so much influence over those seeking help? And why do smart, rational people fall under the spell of someone who, by all accounts, seemed to have built a full-blown cult?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to break down the disturbing tactics Hildebrandt used to manipulate her victims—leveraging authority, exploiting shame, and creating an environment where she alone held the "truth." From bizarre obsessions with sexuality to the reinforcement of extreme religious doctrine, Hildebrandt’s grip on her followers was as insidious as it was lucrative.

But what kind of person buys into something like this? Is it just a matter of faith-based conditioning, or are some people more susceptible to this kind of manipulation than others? And perhaps the biggest question—was Hildebrandt a true believer in her own twisted philosophy, or just a master at controlling those desperate enough to listen?

Breaking Down The Ellen Greenberg 911 Call With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott

What kind of person walks into a room, finds their fiancée dead, and immediately blurts out, "She must have stabbed herself"? That’s the unsettling question at the heart of this bizarre 911 call. The distress is there, sure—but so are some oddly specific assumptions that don’t quite add up.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect this chilling call, where panic meets peculiar certainty. Why is the caller so quick to offer explanations before even assessing the scene? Could it just be shock, or something more calculated? And what’s with the strangely placed humor?

As investigators sift through the details, we’re left wondering: Is this an innocent man in distress or a guilty conscience slipping up in real-time?

Could a person really stab themselves 20 times, including post-mortem wounds, and call it suicide? That’s the mind-bending official ruling in the case of Ellen Greenberg—a 27-year-old teacher from Philly who was found dead in her apartment in 2011. A decade later, the bizarre inconsistencies and shocking twists continue to pile up.

Despite overwhelming evidence that defies logic, Ellen’s death was labeled a suicide—after initially being ruled a homicide. Now, the medical examiner is backpedaling again, saying it was “something other than suicide,” but stopping short of calling it murder. So, what exactly does that leave? Death by spontaneous self-inflicted zombie wounds?

Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, joins Tony Brueski to break down the emotional and psychological toll this nightmare has taken on Ellen’s family, who have been fighting tooth and nail for the truth. And with evidence tampered with, a crime scene scrubbed clean, and zero proper investigative procedures followed, the bigger question remains—who wanted this case buried so badly?

And maybe the most disturbing part—why does it seem like everyone outside of Ellen’s family just wanted people to look the other way?

That’s the question at the center of the baffling, gut-punch of a case surrounding Ellen Greenberg. The 27-year-old teacher was found dead in her Philly apartment in 2011 with more stab wounds than an overenthusiastic slasher flick, yet the official ruling somehow bounced from homicide to suicide, and now… maybe not suicide? Medical examiners, law enforcement, and officials seem to be playing a twisted game of hot potato with the truth, while Ellen’s parents have been fighting tooth and nail for justice.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychological toll of a case like this—not just on the family, but on anyone trying to make sense of the inexplicable. From the ex-fiancé’s bizarre 911 call to the crime scene getting scrubbed cleaner than a hospital room overnight, the red flags here are flapping in hurricane-force winds. Why did officials push the suicide narrative so hard? And more importantly—who benefits from keeping this case buried?
