    In Episode 13 of The Truth Today with T and A, Amy and Teal tackle one of Houston’s most disturbing ongoing conversations: the growing number of bodies recovered from Houston-area bayous and whether law enforcement is doing enough to investigate potential patterns. The hosts examine public statements, investigative concerns, forensic challenges, and the broader issue of public trust and accountability.

    The episode also dives into the massive insider trading scandal now shaking Big Law and Wall Street, where federal prosecutors allege elite attorneys and insiders used confidential merger information tied to major corporations to generate millions in illegal profits. Amy and Teal discuss the allegations, the ethics implications for the legal profession, and why the case is sending shockwaves through corporate America.

    In Episode 10, T and A examine a case out of Texas that raises serious questions about prosecutorial discretion, accountability, and the integrity of the justice system.

    They walk through the timeline of a criminal case involving a Texas attorney, analyzing how severe initial charges ultimately resulted in a significantly reduced outcome. The discussion highlights broader concerns about how the system protects—or fails to protect—vulnerable individuals.

    The episode then expands into a wider conversation about modern challenges, including the role of online platforms, cultural shifts, and the growing gap between legal frameworks and real-world enforcement.

  • Episode 9: The Line You Don’t Cross — Law, Ethics, & Entitlement
    Apr 15 2026

    In Episode 9, T and A take on a week filled with chaos, controversy, and uncomfortable questions—both in the headlines and in their own professions.

    From disturbing media trends and political inconsistencies to the broader question of how “truth” is presented (and manipulated), the conversation opens with a candid look at what’s happening in real time—and why it matters.

    Then, the focus shifts to something far closer to home: professional boundaries.

    As attorneys, T and A break down the unauthorized practice of law in Texas, what actually qualifies as “practicing law,” and why seemingly harmless advice—whether to friends, family, or strangers online—can carry serious legal and ethical consequences. They also address the uncomfortable reality many professionals face: the expectation to give away high-value expertise for free.

    This episode is both a reality check and a guide:

    • Where is the legal line—and how easy is it to cross it?
    • Why “quick advice” is rarely quick (or harmless)
    • The real cost of undervaluing professional time
    • How to protect yourself while still showing up with integrity

    Plus:

    • 📚 Book of the Week: H is for Hawk & Psychic Intuition
    • 🎶 Songs of the Week: God Only Knows & Ace in the Hole
    • 👀 Fave Follows: Independent journalism & metaphysical insight
    • 💬 Word of the Week: “Divaphobia”
    • 🔥 And, of course… this week’s “See You Next Tuesday”

    In Episode 8, T and A refuse to look away from the stories that demand accountability—breaking down a developing and deeply disturbing case out of Ventura County while examining the legal and ethical questions surrounding evidence, prosecution, and justice.

    From there, the conversation shifts inward—exploring trauma, healing, and the profound insights of The Body Keeps the Score, alongside a powerful feminist framework from Gayle Rubin’s The Traffic in Women.

    But at the heart of this episode is a conversation that hits close to home: the power and importance of truly good men. T and A reflect on the fathers and partners who set the standard—and why that standard makes mediocrity not just disappointing, but unacceptable.

    Also in this episode:

    • Songs of the Week featuring Snow Tha Product and T.I. & Rihanna
    • A deep dive into trauma, healing, and nervous system regulation
    • A sharp cultural commentary on modern relationships and expectations

  • Episode 6: We’re Not Moving On: Stalkers, Silence, and Uncomfortable Truths
    Mar 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, we take on one of the most unsettling—and least openly discussed—realities: stalking.

    What starts as discomfort often escalates into fear, isolation, and trauma. And yet, so many people never talk about it.

    We share our own personal experiences with stalking—stories we hadn’t even fully processed until now—and unpack why these situations are so often minimized, ignored, or misunderstood. From early warning signs to the psychological impact, this conversation is about bringing something hidden into the light.

    We also examine broader cultural narratives around power, silence, and legacy—including recent allegations surrounding César Chávez—and ask difficult questions about who gets protected, who gets erased, and why.

    This episode also includes:

    • Song of the Week (Widespread Panic + Z-Ro)
    • Book of the Week (on energy, healing, and violence awareness)
    • A deeper look at the connection between stalking, trauma, and neurodivergence
    • Why women—and especially autistic women—are disproportionately targeted
    • What to do if you believe you are being stalked

    If you’ve ever experienced stalking—or even something that didn’t feel right—this conversation is for you.

    You are not alone. And it’s time we start talking about it.
