Ten years after John Hinckley Jr. left St. Elizabeths Hospital, his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan remains one of the most remarkable chapters in modern presidential history.

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we revisit the events that led John Hinckley Jr. from an obsession with Jodie Foster to stalking President Jimmy Carter, an airport arrest involving firearms, and ultimately the March 30, 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton.

We also discuss Hinckley's surprising connections to Ardmore, Oklahoma and Highland Park, Texas, his fascination with Taxi Driver, the warning signs before the Reagan shooting, his insanity verdict, his 2016 release from St. Elizabeths under restrictions, and the later removal of those restrictions.

A recent interview has once again brought Hinckley and his fixation on Jodie Foster into the spotlight. Nearly half a century after the shooting, one difficult question remains: should the public consider John Hinckley Jr. rehabilitated, or does his history still give you pause?

What happens when taking a shortcut crosses the line into outright cheating?

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we discuss the story of former college golfer Zach Holland and his account of staging a hole-in-one during a member-member tournament at WingHaven Country Club. A planted golf ball, an alleged phone call about his grandmother, a suspiciously convenient tee shot, and security-camera footage turned one round of golf into a much bigger lesson about honesty, reputation, and consequences.

But the conversation goes beyond golf.

Why do people cut corners? Does pressure at work encourage otherwise honest people to bypass rules? What happens when employees are given unrealistic expectations without the time, tools, or resources needed to meet them? And does the way someone behaves when nobody appears to be watching reveal something deeper about their character?

We discuss cheating in sports, workplace shortcuts, moral character, personal responsibility, and why the “easy way out” can end up costing far more than doing things the right way.

💬 We want to hear from you: What is the craziest golf cheating story you have ever seen or heard?

Is the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a must-see shrine to baseball history, or does the experience fall short of expectations?

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we break down a recent firsthand visit to Cooperstown and what was surprisingly missing. From the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery and exhibits featuring Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Pete Rose, Shohei Ohtani and more, we look at how baseball history is presented and compare the experience with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

We also discuss Cooperstown's massive youth baseball scene, the challenges of visiting the small New York town, and the biggest question of all: Is the Baseball Hall of Fame actually worth making a special trip to see?

Before getting into Cooperstown, we kick things off with a surprising Jaws story involving Martha's Vineyard, shark attacks, and one of the movie's child actors more than 50 years later.

Do you agree with the criticism, or is Cooperstown still a bucket-list destination for every baseball fan? Tell us what you think in the comments.

Is a degree from one of America’s most prestigious colleges still worth the cost?

In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we examine LinkedIn’s ranking of the top 50 colleges in the United States for long-term career success. The ranking considers job placement, alumni network strength, internships, entrepreneurship, and opportunities for advancement.

We count down the leading universities, including Princeton, Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, Cornell, Notre Dame, and the University of Pennsylvania. We also discuss why technology, internet careers, AI engineering, data science, and scientific computing appear so frequently among the skills connected to these schools.

But the ranking raises a larger question: Can the average family afford the schools that provide the strongest career opportunities? According to the list discussed in this episode, 44 of the top 50 are private institutions, while only six are public universities.

We also examine student debt, rising tuition, graduates working in jobs that do not require their degrees, and whether prestige is still worth the price of admission.

Who are the most hated golfers of 2026, and does this controversial ranking make any sense?

Golf Digest highlighted a RotoWire survey ranking the ten most disliked players across professional golf. We break down every name on the list, including Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Cantlay, Matt Kuchar, Sergio García, Billy Horschel, and Tyrrell Hatton.

From LIV Golf controversy and Ryder Cup drama to rules penalties, slow play, angry outbursts, and damaged reputations, we discuss why each golfer made the ranking and reveal which players we believe are placed far too high or far too low.

Do you agree with Patrick Reed at No. 1? Does Rory McIlroy belong anywhere near the top three? Leave your own top five in the comments and tell us which player does not belong on this list.

Tony Romo’s arrest on suspicion of operating while intoxicated has generated headlines, bodycam clips, and plenty of opinions before his case has reached court.

In this episode, we examine what the bodycam footage appears to show, Romo’s field sobriety test, the reported open-container allegation, his refusal to take a chemical test, and the larger debate surrounding police transparency and personal privacy.

Should bodycam footage from an unresolved case be released immediately? Does being a celebrity make someone’s private mistakes public property? Should the same transparency rules apply equally to celebrities, police encounters, and ordinary citizens?

Tell us where you draw the line in the comments. We want to hear whether you believe releasing the footage served the public interest or simply turned an unresolved case into public entertainment.

On July 30, 1975, legendary Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa vanished without a trace. Fifty-one years later, his family is urging the FBI to keep the investigation open, release unredacted records, and publicly identify anyone believed to have been involved.

In this episode, we examine Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, his attempt to regain control of the Teamsters, the organized crime figures connected to his final planned meeting, and the many theories surrounding what happened to his remains.

We also debate the larger question: Should federal resources continue to be spent on a 51-year-old case, or should the investigation be closed while the files are released to Hoffa’s family and the public?

Should the FBI keep investigating, close the case and release the files, or continue until every available name is made public? Share your position in the comments.

A viral moment at Wrigley Field has ignited a fierce national debate: an older Chicago Cubs fan slapped a younger spectator who remained seated during the national anthem.

Should everyone stand out of respect for the flag and the men and women who served? Does that belief ever justify putting your hands on someone? And should stadium security have imposed consequences even after the two men reconciled?

In this episode, we examine patriotism, personal freedom, generational differences, stadium security, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the line between social expectations and personal rights.

Do you believe the older fan should have been removed from Wrigley Field, or was the matter properly resolved between the two men? Share your opinion in the comments, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.
