Hey, everyone. I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious. Okay, so this episode's a little

different than usual. I do have news, but I think the interview about the news and about what the

news tells us is the most fascinating thing I've done in a long,

why they do what they do, why they get off on it, how they continue, how they evade,

analysts ask? How did they go about getting the real information? How do we know he's not

lying? How do we know he just

doesn't want the free donuts and a trip out of his cell for the day? Like, how do you know that you're

getting the goods? And as it turns out, they know. There's a way that they know. And the reason I know
