Not us…but how about Snopes.com?Today Lamar and Tom start by talking about the upcoming season of the Frederick Flying Cows basketball team and a new photo project that Lamar is undertaking. However, the conversation transitions into a deeper examination of four articles from Snopes.com that illustrate gaslighting (which the guys discussed in their last podcast), information that needs more context, and how misinformation can be linked and result in some terrible outcomes, such as the death of Renee Nicole Good, by manipulating public perception.Learn MoreImage claiming to show Renee Nicole Good's car aimed at ICE officer isn't what it seems https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/renee-good-car-ice-image/ Repeal of 24/7 Rule for Nurses in Skilled Nursing Care: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rfk-jr-health-department-nurses/ USPS Postmark Rules: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/12/30/usps-postmark-rules/ Nick Shirley’s investigation into alleged Minnesota day care ‘fraud scandal’: What we know: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/12/30/nick-shirley-minnesota-daycare-fraud/ A 3rd Space Survey: Acts of KindnessDo you have an act of kindness that you’d be willing to share?
