What You Didn't Know with Tess and Matt Stevens

Welcome back WYDKers! We're all refreshed from our midseason break and have an insane episode for you. Fresh off the release of "Leaving Neverland," the documentary that brought more shocking allegations against pop icon Michael Jackson to light, dad and I dive into what it was like when the first trial broke.

One fateful night in Los Angeles, and an incident between police and a man named Rodney King eventually ignited the powder keg of civil unrest in Southern California, also known as the L.A. Riots.

Can you imagine flying over Mexico as an aftershock from one of the world’s most deadly quakes shakes the earth below? I can’t, but my dad has the memory of that exact situation.
