  • Summary

  • First, Kaylie tells us about trial footage that went viral. Due to the pandemic, court proceedings were held through Zoom, and another consequence of lockdown was victims of domestic violence were trapped with their abusers. The viral video showed viewers that the most dangerous time for victims in abusive relationships is when they try to leave. Then, Amanda looked into another one of Reyn Guyer’s inventions that contributed to our childhoods, the Nerf gun. In true Guyer fashion, his original idea was named something ridiculous, but some rebranding led to the iconic toy that broke plenty of household items during sibling shootouts. Despite being advertised as a harmless toy, we all can remember comforting a wounded sibling in hopes of Mom not finding out you broke the “no head shots” rule.
