Justice Gone Wild: Sex Favors, Fake Tribes, and Cracker Barrel's Makeover

The dark underbelly of small-town justice systems takes center stage as we explore the shocking case of a Kentucky judge who was gunned down in his own chambers last year. New allegations have emerged that he operated a twisted sex ring where young women performed sexual favors in exchange for legal leniency. Victim Taya Adams bravely shares her disturbing experience, revealing how officials deliberately made victims feel powerless and threatened them with Child Protective Services involvement to ensure their silence.

From judicial corruption to bizarre living arrangements, we dive into the peculiar case of Cora Taylor, a Texas woman reported missing who has been found living among a self-proclaimed "lost African tribe" in Scottish woodlands. This unusual situation involves just three people - a "king," his "queen," and Taylor (now going by "Aznet") - who claim to be reclaiming ancestral lands. Their rejection of local laws and unusual lifestyle choices raise serious questions about potential exploitation and psychological manipulation.

The episode takes a lighter turn with news of Cracker Barrel's significant rebrand, abandoning its iconic rustic aesthetic and old man logo for a cleaner, more modern approach. We examine how this shift might affect the chain's identity and loyal customer base while reviewing their updated menu offerings. The conversation concludes with a surprisingly vulnerable personal anecdote about childhood misbehavior in elementary school, reminding us how early lessons in consequences shape our understanding of boundaries and respect for others. What childhood lesson do you remember most vividly? Share your story and join the conversation about power, identity, and the formative experiences that shape us.

Speaker 1: 0:15

Good morning, happy Thursday, and yes, we have three stories to bring you this morning. The first one I want to update you on remember, I don't know? Last year it was a Kentucky judge, killed by his own sheriff, apparently ran a courthouse-like brothel and traded sex for favors at Twisted Party's victim. Now, before I get started, when I first read this I thought, wow, that's crazy. Who does that nowadays? Aren't they going to be afraid they're going to get caught and blah, blah, blah. And then I remembered that back in the back in the day, a long time ago, where I grew up Scioto. Look up, I think it's Scioto County, s-c-i-o-t-o. In fact. I'll go look it up later for you and try to see if I can find it and put it out there on X. But it was the same thing. A lot of law enforcement used these women that were addicted to drugs and everything for this type of thing. All right, but let's go on with the story here. I'll try to find that and see if I can. And a lot of people got in trouble judges, cops, lawyers for doing this kind of the same thing. I don't think any well. I don't think any law enforcement were killed. Maybe the women were killed. I'll have to look that up and get back to you on that. But anyway, we're going to move on to this story, kind of update it on you.

Speaker 1: 1:41

The rural I can't say rural rural Kentucky judge gunned down in his own chambers last year, ran a twisted sex ring in which young women were coaxed into performing sexual favors just to get out of trouble. One of the alleged victim's claims Again, this is a victim. Who's claiming this? Who knows what really happened? But I don't know. I believe it to be true. I mean, I kind of it's hard to believe. But then again, we've seen a lot of awful things happen in this world, haven't we? Taya adams alleges she was among those caught up in a judge, kevin mullen's apparent sex for favor scheme that saw him and others in the tiny town of Whitesburg demand sex in exchange for cash or to get offenders off the hook. When I read that, that's what reminded me of the Southern Ohio. You know Kentucky and Ohio, right next to each other. So who knows?

Speaker 1: 2:36

Adams told News Nation's Banfield that Mullins, who was shot execution style in his Lecter County chambers, allegedly by his longtime sheriff pal, sean Stines, last September, had warned her to keep quiet about the so-called depraved ring. This story goes on and she goes into a little detail about it. She said it was consensual, but they were so young at the time they didn't really know. Now that she's older, she obviously regrets it. Well, she also felt like she couldn't say anything about it because they would use this against her, you know, to call Child Protective Services on her because she has children now. But I'm thinking, if they're gonna do that, don't they have videos of them doing it too? I mean of the of the actual law enforcement people doing it? I don't know. I mean, do you know what I'm trying to say? I I listened to one of my podcasts the other day and I'm like I don't make any sense at all when I talk. I don't explain myself. I'm like what are you talking about, carol? All right, let's see.

Speaker 1: 3:46

Adam said she felt forced to go along with the judge's scheme because she feared child protective services would somehow get involved and upend her life. They would make sure to make you feel as small, integrated and belittled as possible to take your power away. Adam said it wasn't immediately clear if the woman had any prior run-ins with the law or if she was on CPS's radar at the time she went on to say it was just a given. She would keep her mouth shut about the apparent depravity, insisting who would believe it anyway, because the whole town was doing it. Nobody cares, they're all swingers, it's all a big party to them. It was just so normal. Oh my gosh, that is horrible. I'm not gonna. You can go finish reading that if you'd like, because I've got some other stories to get into here.

Speaker 1: 4:28

Let's, let's talk about this next crazy story. It's bizarre. A lot of drugs are probably involved and this is probably a threesome that's happening here. Um, it's weird. All right, missing texas woman, cora taylor is her name, cora taylor. She was found living in lost african tribe in scotland. How they tracked her down in Scotland is beyond me. In this weird threesome they call it a tribe it's really three people a king, his queen and then this girl. All right, a woman reported missing by her family in Texas has been found living amongst a lost African tribe in the Scottish woodlands. Now they have African in quotes. So this obviously is not real a real tribe, because they're probably whacked out on weed or something I don't know.

Speaker 1: 5:29

The kingdom of Kubala claim they have settled in a forest in Jedbur with the intention of reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors in the highlands 400 years ago. Okay, the trio consists of group leader King Atene, who is 36 years old, who was previously an opera singer under the name Kofi Ofa, his wife, queen Nandi, and their handmaiden, aznet. This is a threesome right here, I'm telling you. It has now emerged that Aznet, lady Safi, is Cora Taylor from Texas, who has been reported missing by her family in the US To the UK authorities. Obviously, I am not missing, she said in a video message from the camp Leave me alone. I'm an adult, not a helpless child.

Speaker 1: 6:24

Okay, the group said on Tuesday that they don't recognize local laws. Of course they don't, and have faced persecution from those who don't understand their ways. What is their ways? Drugs and sex slaves. She's probably like their sex slave or something, and if you look at the pictures of this dude, you can tell he has whacked out on something, some kind of drugs. But instead of bowing to local law enforcement, they say they only recognize the laws of their God. Of course they live in tents. What is that? Let me look at this picture. Wow, yeah, they live in tents in this woods. The king even claimed to be a descendant of the Messiah, of course, because he's doing drugs.

Speaker 1: 7:12

Their presence has baffled locals, although the tribe claimed to live a simple life, bathing in a nearby stream, living in tents and connecting with nature. Okay, I guess they're okay, they're leaving people alone. Let them do their thing. I guess I don't have a problem with that. I don't know how they get their food or anything. Maybe I don't know if they hunt. He doesn't look like he hunts at all. He looks like he just sits there and lets these women cater to him. He is. He looks whacked out. Let me tell you um, so I am not. We, okay, we are the lost tribes of hebrews and have returned to claim scotland. As our homeland, queen Nandi wrote, were black from their ancestor, jacob, a black man. According to our prophet Atene, jerusalem is okay. I'm not. I can't, I can't, I can't read.

Speaker 1: 8:17

If you want to go get a look at the, go, look at their pictures. They're really something else, let me tell you All right, we got to talk about Cracker Barrel and then we're going to go on to the question of the day. Let's see, they have a picture of a pan of cinnamon rolls, and now I want cinnamon rolls. The gent asked me earlier this morning what do you want for breakfast? What do you want for dinner? I said cinnamon rolls because it was, because I saw this picture. It looks delicious, but they're doing away with the logo, the old-fashioned logo with a man sitting on the porch. Why, I don't know. I think they want to do all way with all old white people. That's what I think.

Speaker 1: 8:51

Cracker Barrel is barreling along with its modern makeover. So I know yesterday you saw a lot of tweets go out about Cracker Barrel and the new logo and the woman behind it. Who's changed? Of course, white, liberal woman. But it's also not just the logo, it's the inside of the restaurant. It looks so different. Now I wonder, are they keeping the store? They have to keep the store because nobody's going to be going to eat food there anymore.

Speaker 1: 9:18

It's been years, probably a decade or longer, since I've been into a cracker barrel, but I mean it's iconic. But now they've changed it. Now they've gotten rid of all the little knickknacks which kind of made me leery. Anyway, it just reminds me a lot of dust collection. But now it looks cleaner. The walls are painted white. They still have pictures up, but not near as much as the crowded pieces of I don't know what do you call it Knickknacks hanging all around. It looks a lot different and I guess their menu is changing. Which is what I wanted to get to was their menu. Yeah, it's a lot of white paint, which I think it reminds them of their farm fresh eggs. I mean, it kind of reminds me of Bob Evans, now, maybe a little bit, if you've ever been in a Bob Evans. So let's see, I'm trying to get there.

Speaker 1: 10:11

Here we go, their new breakfast items. The Uncle Herschel's Favorite, which has always been in their Cracker Barrel, is also debuting a new seasonal fall menu that is now available nationwide. Here's what's on the menu. But Uncle Herschel's Favorite hasn't that always been on there? Two eggs cooked to order with a choice of sugar yeah, that's always been on the menu. And then you got sausage, egg and hash brown casserole, bacon, egg, hash brown casserole and butter, pecan French toast bake. And then for lunch and dinner you have herb roasted chicken, herb roasted, herb roasted hash brown casserole. Shepherd's pie, slow braised pot pot roast that has always been on the menu, has it not? Maybe I'm wrong. Now this cinnamon roll skillet looks divine. Brown sugar latte, wild berry tea okay, whatever it's, I probably won't be going to cracker barrel anytime soon. Let's see.

Speaker 1: 11:06

All right, I need to move on to the question of the day. What is something that you learned early on in elementary school? Okay, I gotta tell the story. This is gonna be a while. I know I'm over my limit, but I gotta share it with you. I learned that I cannot do whatever the hell I wanted to do, and I don't know what was wrong with me. I don't know if I was in second grade, maybe y'all.

Speaker 1: 11:28

I remember two instances where I don't know what was wrong with me. I don't know what was wrong with me. I sat there in my desk and drew red check marks all over my desk. Why, I have no earthly idea. Of course, I got pulled out and I got paddled for it in the hallway Remember, back in the day they had a wooden paddle and the teacher was allowed to do that Pulled you out in the hallway, bent over hands on your knees, smack you in the ass with a wooden paddle.

Speaker 1: 11:55

The second thing I did same grade, same classroom was that I don't know what was wrong with me. Oh my gosh. And then there was a guy who sat next to me a boy who sat next to me. He had a toboggan, a hat, and I liked it and there was a thread coming out of it and I took it and I just pulled it. I just pulled it and pulled it, and pulled it. I ruined his hat what? And I got paddled for that too. What the hell was wrong with me? I don't know. I look back on that, I'm like because when I was at home and before I, I don't remember doing I was, that's not me. I don't know what the hell. I know that's probably nothing to some of y'all, but I don't know what was wrong with me. I don't know what was wrong with me. Okay, I gotta go. Thanks for listening. Bye.
