Then, they talk about the WWE debut of Danhausen, who made his grand entrance from a gigantic wooden box. This leads into Rivers's deep dive into the true stories of guys who mailed themselves and the disastrous outcomes that followed. Bob Seger's "Night Moves" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Tune in, everyone!

Up First from NPR - Israel Bombs Beirut, Attacks In Michigan And Virginia, Housing Bill

Israel struck central Beirut overnight and issued the first ever evacuation order for part of the capital, as Israel vows it will not stop until Hezbollah is defeated and nearly a million people are displaced in Lebanon alone.
The FBI is investigating two separate attacks as acts of terrorism — an armed man drove a car into a Michigan synagogue, and a gunman with a prior ISIS conviction opened fire in a Virginia university classroom, killing one person.
And the Senate passed the largest housing bill in decades with bipartisan support, including a ban on large corporations buying up single-family homes, but it faces an uncertain path with President Trump.

**Correction: In a previous audio version of this episode we mistakenly stated that car that drove into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan was packed with explosives.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - What is an oligarch?

"Oligarch" - when we hear this word in the West, it's almost always associated with Russian business types who made loads of money during the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, as Ben, Matt and Noel discover in tonight's episode, oligarchs have always been around, in almost every single civilization... and the U.S. is no exception. In fact, despite being a democracy on paper, the U.S. itself is a lot more like an oligarchy than our rulers would have us believe.

Headlines From The Times - California’s Wealthy Go to Florida Amid Billionaire Tax Fight & IEA to Release 400 Million Barrels of Oil from Reserves

Florida's no state income tax and pro-business policies are making it a haven for the wealthy, especially tech billionaires from California. Meanwhile, Iran's attacks on commercial ships and oil refineries in the Persian Gulf have prompted the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves, with the U.S. contributing 172 million barrels.

Money Girl - Is My Credit Mistake Permanent? How to Recover from Late Payments & Collections

1003. Is one missed payment going to haunt your mortgage application forever?

On this Finance Friday, host Laura answers a listener's question about a recent late payment and the fear that it might ruin their chances of buying a home. If you’ve ever seen your credit score plummet due to a mistake, this episode is for you.

Laura breaks down the "lifespan" of credit damage and reviews seven specific negative items that can appear on your reports, including:

  • Late Payments: The most common mistake and the "7-year rule."
  • Charge-Offs vs. Collections: What happens when a creditor gives up on you.
  • Medical Debt: Why the rules for medical bills are different (and better!) for consumers.
  • Bankruptcies: The difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 reporting.
  • Foreclosures & Settlements: How long they linger and how their impact fades over time.

You’ll also learn why your credit score isn’t a "permanent record" and how the diminishing effect of old mistakes allows your score to rebound faster than you think.
