Hey, Lori. He hasn’t denied ALL your motions. He granted your motion to represent yourself thus setting off the 3-ring circus we’re all watching like a runaway train wreck
MJC
She is convinced that everyone else is not being truthful while under oath because she is being untruthful under oath. She assumes everyone is lying because she finds it so easy to lie. It’s crazy.
Marcella Able
Isn’t this what a classic narcissist will do. Blame everyone else and play the victim. I think she wants to escape 😂
Elizabeth Tippetts
I’m 100% sure this judge is looking forward to that law retreat lol
Elizabeth Tippetts
I love that Lori considers herself the legal expert of her cell pod but she still doesn’t know what she is doing. Ppl go to law school for a reason haha
Melanie Rothrock
My favorite Dr. John episode. I love him cracking up. I was in stitches. 🤣🤣🤣

Re: the arrest videos of Melani. Of course she’s infuriating but let’s look at the Utah police attitudes towards women vs men. Alex was a cold blooded murderer as was Brian Laundrie. The police give both murderers passes. That’s infuriating too. The deferential treatment of men as opposed to the distain for women is so obvious 😬

I've been wondering whether people with pathologies like Lori's have a sort of reality impairment along the same lines as their empathy impairment and emotional difficulties; it strikes me as the same kind of behavior as when younger kids lie blatantly, where it seems like they assume reality is malleable, and saying or believing something hard enough will make it real. It reads to me as something that's neither a delusion nor a lie in the usual sense of "I know this isn't true but I think I can trick someone into believing it." Closer to "This isn't true but if I say it enough it will be." The behavior feels to me like it isn't calculated, but desperate and the result of someone lacking the appropriate tools to get what they want.

Rewatching. Love laughing with Dr John!!❤️
Eldergoth
She really does just need to go away, doesn’t she? I really feel for all the families.
Eldergoth
Great question, and great observations about the threat to Brandon‘s children. Yeah, oh by the way, Alex is in the car. So, so, dark.
Alicia Reed
Personally I’m hoping for a 1 week trial lol
Eldergoth
Middle Management Ken.
Eldergoth
So Lori is Attorney Barbie, Melaniece is her little sister Skipper, and Chad is an extremely lame Ken doll, without a chin.
Eldergoth
Just on their own
Eldergoth
Well, she finally met her match. Lori, “He is going to do what I want him to do.“ Chad, “She is going to provide me with an endless supply of other peoples’ children to kill.” Thank God these two were stopped.
Eldergoth
Lori and Melaniece are like a swarm of out of control Karens.
Eldergoth
There you go. There is something about the reality of that claim, this makes so much sense.
Manisha R.
Oooo my gosh just rewatched the body cam footage! Tammy had been murdered and Lori & Chad were married by the time Melaniece and Alex went to get her kids. Didn’t those kiddos have gerber life insurance policies on them? It’s bone chilling in video 1 when it’s revealed that Alex is there too. I’m so glad Brandon & his family kept them safe QUESTION 🙋🏾♀️: Do y’all think any of the people involved in the cult who haven’t been charged are potentially a danger to society? Sorry my wording isn’t great here but hopefully it makes sense?
Manisha R.
Dr. John’s poetic license moments are *chef’s kiss* ahaha 🤣
Erica A. Zwick
Didn't Lori say she was counseling 8 to 10 women on death row in Idaho? Well, there is currently one woman on death row in Idaho, according to the Idaho Department of Correction. The women she is currently keeping company with in jail have not been convicted of anything.
Erica A. Zwick
I think he's losing his patience with her.
Erica A. Zwick
If you want to know about her family history check out Megan Conner's YT channel. She is Lori's first cousin. "could the shame of that thing have been put onto Tylee by Lori?" Yes, it's called generational trauma.
Erica A. Zwick
Lori has always been a bully. She bullied Colby's father (I've seen the divorce documents), Joe Ryan and Charles. She's always gotten her way because people just gave in to her because she would NOT. LET. UP. I have no doubt that she would have ended up bullying Chad as well I cannot believe that she thinks she can get away with lying to the judge. She truly is divorced from reality. She has no idea how any of this works. FFS.
Deborah Osborn
So this circus performer doesn’t realize that she’s the clown.
Trudi Scarborough-Farlow
Hi there. Been following you both for years now and just love the way you talk about the podcasts you do!!!! Lori blows my mind away like I just don’t know what to expect when she does things which I believe that is why people are so interested in her things. I live in the city of Sulphur,La right next to Lake Charles and having a grandson my heart aches and broke whenever the kids were missing and then whenever they found them that killed our community here in Louisiana. So beyond happy that you both invested in this and also became close friends with the family. That is all I got just finally saying something. Love ya
Rebecca Israel
Your genuine laughs 😍
Eldergoth
Damn that thing!
Eldergoth
You’re not kidding!! That blew me away!
Eldergoth
Incidentally, and separately, no one can tell you the truth like a 16 year old girl.
Eldergoth
For Dr John: It’s almost like Lori is emotionally the same age as Tylee was when she died. Can something have happened in Lori’s life to cause her to stop growing emotionally, and could the shame of that thing have been put onto Tylee by Lori?
Eldergoth
Haha, the shock belt does NOT come with the Lawyer Barbie accessories!
Barbarella
Melaniece took some lesson from Aunt Lori on the crazy manipulation tactics.
Eldergoth
She’s weirdly immature and even childlike sometimes. Chad Daybell is also weirdly immature. How do you name your own sexual desire, and the giving in to it, “the storm?!!” That’s bizarrely dysfunctional. These two have no personal insight whatsoever, something went very wrong for each of them.
Eldergoth
I love that! “What’s wrong with you?”
Eldergoth
I have a feeling he will continue to take the highroad.
Eldergoth
Love that
Eldergoth
I’ve been calling this latest iteration of hers, meaning Lori as representing herself, Lawyer Barbie.
Bonnie Schoeneman-Dilley
Hi you two!
Eldergoth
Yes!
Eldergoth
Interesting thought! You definitely think about how she is going to take things, and the result I think is just always going to be infuriating. To us. Lol.
Eldergoth
Thank God.
Eldergoth
I would put that question differently, more like, when will she finally be held in contempt? That poor man.
Eldergoth
It’s the best!
Eldergoth
Way
Eldergoth
That judge has been a saint. He has been so nice to her. He’s got a very gentle spirit. It is a peek into Lori Daybell’s mind, isn’t it? It’s like a surrealist painting in there.
Jan O'Donnell
Maybe the belt is preventing her from entering a portal and escaping to another world.
Elizabeth Thompson
Love Dr. John's snark and laughter behind the pay wall 🤣💙
TMac
It seems like in America right now, the most entitled among us honestly see themselves as victims somehow.
Elizabeth Thompson
Just watched the 2 police videos. These officers are heros ❤️ Now it's time for some Mathias breakdown of the whole thing!!
Barbarella
Could she end up being held in contempt?
Laura Cruz
I actually learned a bit from this judge’s simplistic explanations for Lori.
Carla Perkins
LVD vs. Reality. Reality keeps winning over her delusional self importance
Renée Price
She’s utterly exhausting!
MerryLeezl
The judge did seem flustered replying to her. I feel she probably luuuuuuved the sensation of being responsible for his reaction. I bet she fed on that, for whatever it meant to her sense of control over others.
LLemon
Mug: “sit down, shut up and go back to prison” 😂
Monica
This is exhausting. She needs to end.
Laura Hayes
I agree, Dr. John, on the judge’s demeanor. Lori definitely went too far this time and he is done with her. However, his reaction was still so professional. I’m wondering if he will be less lenient and more firm than in the first trial when she oversteps the court law now. And then there’s the poor prosecutor just doing her job and Lori trying to pile on more work.
Dana
Btw y’all have started my week off the right way! Thank you!!!
Shannon Leap
Dr. John’s face says everything!!!!!
Dana
Are you done yet? Don’t flatter yourself 🙌
Rachel Cannon
I have been a fan of you guys from the beginning, I have alarms set to let me know when you are going live and have new posts. I am also a night owl and love how a lot of them come out late so I can listen to them while I'm cleaning and my husband and 4 kiddos are asleep and can listen and enjoy the show.... Dr. John had me laughing so hard tonight that I woke up 2 of my kiddos! My 9 year old asked what was wrong with me and my 13 year old son asked if I was listening to a comedy show or something... lol... No- just listening to Lauren and Dr. John talking about crazy ass Lori Vallow Daybell!! Love you guys and thank you for all you do!
Erin Aboudara
I am glad to see Dr. John and Lauren getting a little levity out of the loony Lori! 😁 Colby on his podcast had a good laugh, which made me laugh! 🤭
Terrie
Yes I agree. I couldn’t help but begin laughing with him. I love these times when John and Lauren laugh together. 💕🌿
Jeana Taylor
Love it when Dr. John laughs at Lori!
Evie Rae
I know Lori isn't doing it on purpose, but her ineptitude and narcissism are adding a lot of levity to this awful situation. All we can do is laugh at her and relish in the fact that she would hate us making fun of her antics. Laughing at terrible people is healing, particularly when they are so detached from how absurd they look. She just doesn't get it, but try telling her tat!
Laren Dee Barton
Thank you, as ever. Appreciate your conversations. 🩵🩵🩵
Terrie
😬 WT… frick! 🤬 Hello McFly-LoLo… Yes you have too😅😂🤣 She really missed the Perry Mason / Matlock reruns on how to be a defense attorney. Along with the light 💡needing to be turned on in her brain. She is so focused on exact black/white, she misses the basic understanding of what the Judge is telling her or asking her to explain. Relevance??? Have you seen or know of Lori Vallow -Daybell? She doesn’t realize by arguing, digging in, and being so rude, it shows her guilt , IMO. The trial will definitely be interesting to watch. 🤞🏼 maybe we’ll see⚡️⚡️… Justice for Brandon ⚖️💚
Tracy Wheeler
Happy to see John!! 👋🏻👋🏻
JenAus
Hey Terrie, agree, Lori of the Flies needs to be swatted or zapped or both - bring it on!!!
Terrie
Good Evening JenAus, 💎 gems, Lauren, and John This next trial is going to be a wild ride. I believe Lori is going to continue to be defiant. She will be giving her narrative with testimony throughout the entire process. Justice for Brandon⚖️💚
JenAus
Oh pisser!! I’ve been looking forward to this!! 👍👍
