I watch Shark Tank all the time- Lori Greiner helped make this couple very very wealthy: she will not be happy to hear this news

WHOA.... the Squatty Potty dude. I remember their pitch.

His mother won't be very happy with him smearing her name.

Who is his Mom? Utah based as well?

We're not allowed to sleuth family in MTs so will let you figure that out. But, if you ever watched the Shark Tank pitch... you'll know it was a mother and son team. Hence me saying she won't be happy with him. Kinda smeared her name IMO since they are both associated with Squatty Potty.

I never watch TV but Utah based makes sense

dang it! I admit I love my squatty potty. This is so disappointing

Edwards pleaded not guilty in federal court in Utah and remains in custody pending a March 2 detention hearing.

Wild that not guilty is always the default plea regardless of the amount of evidence staring back at them

Children's entertainers have always creeped/freaked me out.
I know that's not fair to many but try as I have it remains so.

Shake head, big sigh. What is wrong with these people? I am sure that CSAM is an addiction. What I find worrisome, is the new "movies" coming from Asia, with AI generated "film stars" soon, CSAM will be all computer generated, then, will it even be illegal?!
