Week 6 'America's Got Talent' 2025

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC (2025). The winner will receive a headline show at Las Vegas. Plus, $1 million dollars.

Week 6 - There were some good acts. Below are my two favorites who were voted into the next round.

Mike Munz looked like a body contortionist, but only moved his upper body muscles. Chest/Shoulders/Arms/Abdominal's/Back. It was weird but interesting at the same time.


Bay Melnick Virgolino is a 10-year-old guitar player. He performed Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” This was a real talent for a kid this age. Wow.!!!

Trailer 'No Tears in Hell' coming soon!

Sci-Fi horror Trailer 'Descendant' coming soon!

Classic Podcast '48 Hours' episode 'Fatal Family Feud' 2007

48 Hours says, "In July 2004, Jarrod Davidson was shot to death outside his apartment in California. Estranged from his ex-wife, Kelee, Jarrod had been scheduled to go to court in an attempt to get full custody of their daughter, Malia. The investigation would reveal a deep, and deadly, family feud. 

“48 Hours" Correspondent Maureen Maher reports.

My Favorite 'America's Got Talent' Performances 'Atai'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. The winner will receive a headline show at Las Vegas. Plus, $1 million Dollars.

AGT has seen dozens of contortionist dancers who audition. Most of them are just one person who can transform their whole bodies into multiple positions.

The group called, "Atai" took contortion to a whole other level. They auditioned in season 18 (2023). All of the dancers were Zombies who scared the audience. They were fantastic.

The four judges voted "Atai" into the next round. Unfortunately, they were cut in the "deliberations" phase and never reached the semi-finals.

The AGT judges have to make tough decisions after the audition phase. Can a talent act step it up or just be a one note performer? Can they be a $1 million dollar act?

Below is Atai's awesome AGT audition.

Podcast 'Dateline' series 'Missing in America' Episode 5

Dateline says, "On November 4, 1980, 44-year-old Nancy Snow boarded a flight to Baltimore from St. Louis, Missouri, where she had spent several months working on Gene McNary’s U.S. Senate campaign. That night she went to a party in Baltimore; the next morning she had breakfast with the party’s host."

"Afterward, a man who was house sitting for Nancy apparently picked her up at a hotel, and they drove off together. Nancy Snow hasn’t been seen or heard from since then, and her disappearance is one of the D.C. area’s oldest unsolved cases. More than 44 years later, her three daughters are convinced they know who is responsible for Nancy’s disappearance."

"Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz talks with her daughters Justine, Kimberly and Stacy Snow, Corporal William Noel of the Annapolis Police Department, and retired detective David Cordle."

If you have any information about the disappearance of Nancy Snow, please call the Annapolis Police Department at 410-268-9000 and ask for Corporal William Noel.

My Favorite 'America's Got Talent' Performances 'Barry Brewer Jr'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. The winner will receive a headline show at Las Vegas. Plus, a $1 million dollar prize.

I am still catching up on the years I missed with AGT.

Season 18 (2023). Comedian Barry Brewer Jr. He "wowed" the AGT judges with his audition. They all voted "yes" and sent Barry to the next round. During the judge deliberations. He was moved to the "Semi-Finals."

His semi-final stand up performance was very funny. All the judges liked him except Simon. He enjoyed Barry's audition more because he used a piano in his performance. I totally agree. He is a musician  who used that piano to make his comedy funnier.

Unfortunately - Barry didn't have enough votes to get to the "Finals."

Below is Barry's funny AGT audition.

Podcast 'Dateline' Sean Combs 'The Verdict'

Dateline says, "After more than 13 hours of deliberation over three days, the New York jury found Combs not guilty on a RICO conspiracy charge, not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving Cassie Ventura, and not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving his ex-girlfriend "Jane," who testified under a pseudonym." 

"He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, then denied bond while he waits for his sentencing hearing. That hearing is scheduled for October but could move up. The prosecution is arguing he should be sentenced to around four and a half years, while the defense says the federal guidelines for his offenses put him closer to two years."
