Dr. Angela Jones on Societys Impossible Beauty StandardsIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-25 | Millions of women feel an overwhelming, exhausting societal pressure to wear makeup every single day just to feel acceptable and respected in public or at work. We sit down with mental health expert Dr. Angela Jones to unpack the hidden psychological toll of these impossible beauty standards and discuss how women can begin to reclaim their self-worth bare-faced.Are Microscopic Mites Living on Your Lashes?

We break down the actual math behind these controversial policies to reveal whether creating your own bank builds real wealth or just enriches insurance agents.Houston “Cougar & Cub” Meetup Is Bringing Older Women & Younger Men TogetherIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-25 | Houston’s dating scene is getting a little wilder this weekend.
The Call Me Cougar Houston event is bringing together older women and younger men for a Cougar & Cub R&B Day Party at Karma 6.0 Cocktail Bar — and it’s putting age-gap dating and the “cougar” label front and center.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey speaks with event organizer Day Bibb and an attendee about what inspired the meetup, what people can expect this weekend and why there’s clearly a market for events connecting older women with younger men.
And of course, we had to pick their brains about the big question: What exactly does it mean to be a cougar?
Is it simply an older woman dating a younger man? Is there still a stigma attached to the term? Why are some younger men specifically attracted to older women? And do women actually embrace being called “cougars” — or is the label outdated?
The conversation gets into confidence, attraction, maturity, dating expectations and why age-gap relationships continue to spark so much curiosity.
The Call Me Cougar Houston Cougar & Cub R&B Day Party happens Saturday, September 26 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Karma 6.0 Cocktail Bar, 4102 Richmond Ave., Suite F in Houston, featuring DJ Stretch and VIP sections.

Teacher Says Students Are Bringing “Baddies” Behavior to SchoolIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-25 | Are reality shows and viral social media clips changing the way young people handle conflict?
A teacher says he’s seeing students behave more and more like the personalities they watch on Zeus Network reality shows — from the confrontational language and attitudes to fighting, performing for an audience and turning everyday disagreements into dramatic showdowns.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey speaks with Ridgmont, a teacher and content creator, and therapist Dr. Jasmine Boone about what educators are seeing inside today’s classrooms — and whether entertainment and social media are helping normalize a culture where conflict becomes content.
The conversation goes beyond blaming one network or television show.
Are students actually imitating what they see on shows like Baddies? How much influence comes from reality TV compared with TikTok, Instagram, peer groups, home life and school environments? And when young people constantly see arguments, fights and humiliation rewarded with attention and viral fame, can that begin shaping how they believe conflict is supposed to look?
The panel also discusses the pressure students face to perform for the camera, why phones can escalate school fights, whether young people are becoming desensitized to confrontation and what parents and schools can do to encourage healthier ways of communicating.
💬 DO YOU THINK REALITY TV AND SOCIAL MEDIA ARE INFLUENCING HOW KIDS BEHAVE AT SCHOOL?

Hannah Gann acknowledged that she is a white woman and said she falsely claimed Palestinian, Tunisian and Black heritage, deceiving friends, colleagues and fellow activists. Organizations she worked with have since cut ties with her, calling the deception a betrayal.
The bizarre story has drawn comparisons online to Rachel Dolezal, with some social media users dubbing Gann the “Palestinian Rachel Dolezal” or even the “Temu Rachel Dolezal.”
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey sits down with therapist Dr. Jasmine Boone and publicist Bridgett Waugh to unpack the bigger questions behind the controversy.
What drives someone to build an entirely different racial or cultural identity? How can a deception this extensive continue for years? What happens psychologically when someone begins living inside a false identity? And from a public-relations standpoint, can someone ever rebuild credibility after admitting to something like this?
The conversation also explores the damage these situations can cause to the communities being impersonated — and whether an apology is enough when trust has been shattered.

Authorities say 68-year-old Marilyn Therrell is accused of intentionally giving too much medication to her two adult sons, ages 30 and 32, who have severe autism, before allegedly overdosing herself. All three survived and were hospitalized. Therrell has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated abuse of a disabled adult.
Investigators say Therrell told detectives that caring for her sons had become more difficult after her husband died in 2025. Authorities say the two sons are expected to be placed in the custody of Florida Adult Protective Services after leaving the hospital.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey sits down with a panel of experts to discuss the shocking allegations and the much larger conversation surrounding caregiver burnout, aging parents, adults with severe autism and the lack of long-term support available to many families.
How much help is actually available when caregivers become overwhelmed? What warning signs should families recognize before a crisis happens? And how do we acknowledge the realities of caregiver exhaustion without excusing alleged abuse?

Tech Expert Explains Why Ads Seem to Know EverythingIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-24 | Have you ever talked about a product — and then suddenly started seeing ads for it on your phone?
It’s one of the biggest tech questions people have: Is your smartphone actually listening to your conversations?
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey sits down with Patrick Jones, tech expert, to break down what your phone may be collecting, how apps track your activity and why targeted ads can sometimes feel a little too accurate.
Are apps secretly using your microphone? How much information do advertisers already know about you from your searches, location, browsing habits and app activity? And what privacy settings should you check right now?
Patrick Jones separates the myths from the reality and explains how modern smartphone tracking, targeted advertising, microphone permissions and digital privacy actually work.

After Trump announced that CNN, MS NOW and Politico were banned from the White House over coverage he described as “fake news,” reporters from the three outlets were denied access and their press credentials were deactivated. The news organizations have since filed a lawsuit arguing that the ban violates their First Amendment rights. The White House maintains that access is a privilege and says the administration is pushing back against coverage it considers inaccurate.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey sits down with investigative journalist Wayne Dolcefino, comedian Ben Daniel, and political analyst Dietrich Von Biedenfeld to debate the growing fight between the Trump administration and major news organizations.
Can a president exclude news outlets because of coverage he believes is unfair or inaccurate? Where is the line between holding the media accountable and restricting press access? And has public trust in both politicians and the news media become so fractured that these battles are only going to intensify?
The panel tackles Trump vs. the media, White House press access, media bias, press freedom, “fake news,” and the First Amendment.
💬 COMMENT BELOW: Should a president be able to ban a news organization from the White House? Does the media need to do more to rebuild public trust? Where should the line be drawn between press freedom and accountability?

The Great Vacation DebateIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-24 | Are travelers officially getting tired of short-term rentals?
Frustrated vacationers say cleaning fees, checkout chore lists, service charges and hidden costs are making Airbnb-style stays feel like more work than a vacation — and many are heading back to traditional hotels.
On Isiah Factor: Uncensored, Isiah Carey brings together panelists on both sides of the debate to break down the growing Airbnb vs. hotel battle.
Are short-term rentals still the better value for families and groups? Have hotels become the easier, more predictable option? And once you add up cleaning fees, service charges, parking, resort fees and other costs, which one actually gives travelers the most bang for their buck?
The panel tackles:
Why some travelers are abandoning short-term rentals Whether cleaning fees and mandatory chores have gone too far When an Airbnb still makes more financial sense Why hotels may be winning travelers back Which option offers the better overall vacation experience
💬 COMMENT BELOW: Are you choosing a hotel or Airbnb for your next trip? Should guests have to clean when they’re already paying a cleaning fee? Which gives you more value for your money?

Property deed fraud and home title scams are putting homeowners at risk, with criminals accused of using forged deeds, fake signatures and fraudulent paperwork to take control of properties — sometimes before the rightful owner knows anything has happened.
The FBI recorded more than 12,000 real estate fraud complaints in 2025, with reported losses topping $275 million nationwide.
On Isiah Factor: Uncensored, Harris County Attorney Abbie Kamin joins Isiah Carey to explain how deed fraud works, which properties scammers may target and what homeowners can do to protect one of their biggest financial assets.
Kamin’s office recently filed lawsuits alleging scammers used forged documents to steal multiple Harris County properties, including homes belonging to people who had died years earlier.
We break down:
• How criminals can use fraudulent deeds to target a home • How homeowners can check whether suspicious documents have been filed on their property • Why inherited and family-owned property can become vulnerable • What to do if you discover an unauthorized deed • How property fraud can threaten families and generational wealth
Could someone change the paperwork on your home without you knowing? And how often should homeowners check their property records?

He found two different systems operating side by side. Black and Latino young adults who start doing well tend to become a source of support — for parents, for siblings, for cousins back home. White young adults in the same position tend to still be receiving it. When Shapiro asked white interviewees whether they were sending money to family, he said he almost always got laughter. They were still being subsidized.
Shapiro calls the money that flows down "transformative assets" — help that lets someone buy a house or skip student loans, and moves them further than their own paycheck ever could. The absence of it doesn't show up as low income. It shows up decades later as no net worth.
Isiah Carey sits down with three professional women who have lived the other side of that equation. One is the eldest of ten, a lawyer, who started working at 14 and handed half of every paycheck to the household. One is an only child supporting her mother in Houston while still wiring money to her father in Colombia — and watching her mother send money on to nieces and nephews from what she's given. One is Nigerian-American, caring for her mother and two children, doing the math on what's left to pass down. All three took out loans they might not have needed. All three say they'd do it again. Two of them have told their kids not to put them in a nursing home.
Then two financial advisors get practical about how to carry this without going under:
- Build a family budget and a shared emergency fund, so support is planned instead of reactive - Replace cash assistance with structural help — credit repair, a real financial plan, better employment for the people you're supporting - Long-term care and life insurance as tools to recover what you've already spent on parents - Prioritize asset building over lifestyle expansion when your income rises, because your obligations already scale - If your income stops, their lifestyle has to adjust too — set that expectation early - Exhaust grants, scholarships, and assistance programs before your own savings, even in cultures where asking feels wrong - Teach financial literacy at home, because school won't
If this is your life, tell us how you've handled it in the comments — somebody watching needs to hear it.

Gen Z vs. Career Expert on Interview EtiquetteIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-23 | Is it unprofessional to bring an iced coffee to a job interview? A recruiter’s warning about bringing coffee into an interview has sparked a major debate over job interview etiquette, professionalism, Gen Z workplace culture and changing hiring expectations.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris are joined by Andrew McCaskill, Career Expert, and Pony White, Gen Z, to debate whether showing up to a job interview with an iced coffee actually hurts your chances of getting hired.
Pony says the controversy is being taken way too seriously and doesn’t believe carrying a drink says anything about a candidate’s ability to do the job. Andrew McCaskill weighs in on what employers notice during interviews, first impressions, workplace professionalism and what job seekers should know before walking into the room.

A new internet trend involving fake online shopping websites is getting attention for letting users browse, add items to carts and go through the motions of checking out — without actually spending money.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris speak with Dr. Jasmine Boone, therapist, about the psychology behind so-called “dopamine shopping,” impulse spending and the emotional rush people can get from online shopping.
Why does adding something to a cart feel satisfying? Can fake shopping actually help people spend less? And could these websites become a healthier alternative for people who use shopping as a way to cope with stress, boredom or emotions?
Dr. Boone breaks down the connection between shopping, dopamine, instant gratification, emotional spending and mental health.

Today, Pastor Ray Anthony Clark is helping lead a new generation of young people to faith in Houston.
The Grace Church Young Adults Pastor sits down with Isiah Carey on The Isiah Factor: Uncensored to share the unexpected journey that took him from aspiring baseball player to ministry — and ultimately to leading thousands of young adults in worship every Tuesday night.

Isiah and Pastor Clark also discuss why so many young adults are searching for community, what’s drawing younger generations to Grace Church, and what the growth of its Tuesday-night ministry may say about the future of faith in America.

The Rise of Abandoned Churches NationwideIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-22 | DESCRIPTION: Why are more Americans walking away from organized religion — and what does it mean for the future of the church?
U.S. church membership has fallen dramatically over the past several decades, dropping below 50% for the first time in Gallup’s long-running polling. At the same time, thousands of congregations across the country are closing their doors as attendance patterns, demographics and attitudes toward organized religion continue to change.
On The Isiah Factor: Uncensored, Isiah Carey sits down with pastor and journalist Dr. Ruth Allen Ollison to examine the numbers and discuss what may be driving the decline.
Dr. Ollison also shares striking video of an abandoned Houston-area church, offering a local example of a much larger national trend of empty pews and struggling congregations.
Are younger generations rejecting organized religion? Have churches failed to adapt to changing communities? Are Americans losing their faith — or simply choosing to practice it differently?

Most new mothers are screened for postpartum depression once — at the six-week checkup — and then never asked again. But postpartum conditions don't run on that schedule. They can surface months later. They can surface when breastfeeding ends and hormones shift a second time. And in rare cases, they escalate into postpartum psychosis, a medical emergency involving hallucinations, delusions, and a break from reality.
Isiah Carey brings together three mothers and a psychologist for an honest conversation about what this actually looks like from the inside, not the headlines, but the Tuesday afternoon when you notice you're being short with your kids and can't say why.
What they cover: - Postpartum anxiety vs. postpartum depression vs. postpartum psychosis - Why symptoms can appear months or even years after birth - The second wave many mothers hit after weaning - Warning signs loved ones should watch for: withdrawal, isolation, bizarre behavior, delusional thinking - Why "I'm fine" is the answer you should never accept at face value - When to stop waiting and get someone professional help - How to keep your sense of self when everyone only sees "mom"
One line from this conversation that stuck with us: "Just because I carry the weight well doesn't mean it's not heavy."
If you've been through this, your experience might be the thing that helps someone watching. Comments are open.
The Isiah Factor Uncensored airs weeknights at 10:30p on FOX 26 Houston. Also on FOX Soul and FOX LOCAL.

The family of 61-year-old Kimberly Moore says the disturbing discovery happened at Hutchinson Funeral Home in Detroit ahead of her scheduled viewing. Moore’s daughter reportedly realized something was wrong after noticing the woman in the casket was missing a distinguishing mark her mother had.
The family says they were then told their mother may have been cremated by mistake before the funeral. The funeral home has apologized and launched an internal review, while authorities investigate what happened.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris react to the shocking case and discuss how a mistake this serious could happen.
How does a funeral home lose track of a body? What safeguards are supposed to prevent a mix-up like this? And how do you compensate a family that may have been robbed of its final goodbye?
💬 WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU OPENED THE CASKET AND REALIZED IT WASN’T YOUR LOVED ONE?

Rising Prices May Be Killing the Weekend TraditionIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-22 | Is brunch officially over — or has it just gotten too expensive?
A recent Wall Street Journal piece argues that the once-dominant weekend brunch culture may be fading as diners rethink long waits, pricey cocktails, expensive meals and how they spend their weekends.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris debate whether brunch is actually dying or simply changing.
Joining the conversation: Crystal Solomon, owner of Daiq’s in Houston, and Houston food expert Gmayniac, founder of Bless tha Belly, who weigh in on what they’re seeing from diners, restaurants and the culture surrounding brunch.
When a simple outing can easily turn into a $200 or $300 bill, is brunch really the problem — or is the cost of leaving the house becoming too much?
The crew gets into overpriced eggs, bottomless mimosas, restaurant prices, changing social habits and whether the brunch era still has life left in it.

The ad featured K-pop star Karina holding a pair of Chuck 70 X sneakers, while critics pointed to the lighting, clothing and placement of the shoes as disturbing references to America’s history of racial violence. Converse has since apologized and removed the image.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris break down the controversy and ask the bigger questions: How does an ad like this make it through multiple levels of approval? Was the imagery obvious, or are people reading too much into it? And in 2026, should major corporations have stronger safeguards to catch potentially offensive imagery before a campaign goes public?
The crew also weighs in on Converse’s apology, the growing calls for accountability and whether consumers have the power to force companies to change through backlash and boycotts.

Then — “Trump TV.” The White House is launching its own YouTube-based programming as President Donald Trump’s administration remains locked in a dispute with CNN, MS NOW and Politico over White House access.
Angela Box, Rep. Ron Reynolds and Cesar Espinosa battle it out in a fiery conversation over immigration, ICE, President Trump, the media and where the country goes from here.

Journalists Reshonda Tate and Asha C. Gilbert join the conversation as we break down the announcement and the bigger questions surrounding access to the president.
PLUS — four Muslim doctors are suing Illinois over the state’s new assisted-suicide law, arguing that some of its requirements conflict with their religious beliefs. The law allows certain terminally ill adults to request medication to end their lives, setting up a debate over patient choice, religious freedom and doctors’ rights.
And a HYROX athlete is facing major backlash after continuing a race in Beijing after experiencing bowel incontinence. Joanna Wietrzyk went on to win the race but later apologized, withdrew her result and forfeited her points. HYROX has also acknowledged problems with how the incident was handled and is changing its procedures.
🔥 COMMENT NOW: Should a president be able to restrict certain news organizations from White House access? Should doctors be required to participate in any part of an assisted-suicide process if it violates their religious beliefs? Should the HYROX athlete have been immediately removed from the race? And does Texas feel like one of the most diverse states in America to you?

Some Found Culture Shock.Isiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-19 | Ghana's Year of Return brought thousands of Black Americans to the continent with a single message: come home. Now some of them are posting videos saying the welcome came with a price tag — inflated rents, constant hustling, and a label they didn't expect to carry. Foreigner.
Isiah Carey sits down with three people who actually live this, and they do not agree. One says Black Americans are specifically targeted — recruited on emotion, then treated as a revenue stream, with no seat at the table in parliament or diaspora affairs. The others say it isn't personal at all: it's foreigner pricing, it's street-market haggling with no fixed prices, and Europeans, Chinese nationals, and returning Africans get the same treatment. When you land and someone grabs your bags, that's not an insult — that's airport culture, and it's coming for everybody.
Then a psychologist explains why the disappointment cuts so deep. Ancestry and culture are not the same thing. Ancestry is where you're from. Culture is relationship, and relationship takes time — years, not weeks. Her advice for anyone caught between a country that doesn't want them and a homeland that doesn't know them yet: stick it out, build your own community, and stop vacationing in a place you're trying to live in.
Covered in this conversation: - The Year of Return and Beyond the Return, and who actually came - Why vacationing in West Africa is nothing like living there - Foreigner pricing, haggling, and knowing the going rate - Whether "come home" campaigns are outreach or recruitment - The path to dual citizenship, and what it doesn't get you - Cultural identity when neither country feels like yours

Wietrzyk experienced an involuntary bowel movement while competing — but continued the race, used shared equipment and ultimately finished first.
After the incident went viral and sparked criticism over sanitation and athlete safety, Wietrzyk publicly apologized for continuing to compete. She later withdrew from the race results and forfeited the points she earned, saying she regretted not stopping when the incident happened.
HYROX also acknowledged that race officials should have intervened and updated its rules to better address situations involving bodily fluids and contamination during competition.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris discuss the apology, the backlash and whether Wietrzyk handled the situation the right way after the fact.
Was apologizing and giving up her points enough?
Should race officials have stopped her before she ever crossed the finish line?
And should athletes be judged by what happens in the heat of competition — or by how they respond afterward?

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Dr. Akbar Ali, Dr. Asim Babar, Dr. Omar Hussain and Dr. Umar Shakur, who say their Islamic faith teaches that human life is sacred and prevents them from participating in actions intended to end a patient’s life.
Illinois’ End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act allows qualifying adults with a terminal illness and a prognosis of less than six months to request medication they can self-administer to end their lives. Patients must have the mental capacity to make the decision, and both an attending and consulting physician must verify the diagnosis, prognosis and capacity.
Illinois says doctors are not required to personally provide medical aid in dying. However, the Muslim physicians challenging the law argue that other requirements — including providing certain information and facilitating medical-record transfers when a patient seeks another provider — can still force them to participate in a process that conflicts with their beliefs.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris break down the controversy and debate the difficult questions surrounding religious freedom, doctors’ rights, patient choice and end-of-life care.
Should doctors be able to completely remove themselves from the process when a medical procedure conflicts with their religious beliefs?
Or does a terminally ill patient’s right to receive information and pursue legal medical care take priority?
And where should the law draw the line when a doctor’s deeply held beliefs and a patient’s end-of-life decision collide?

Trump accused the outlets of reporting “fake news,” sparking a larger conversation about White House press access, freedom of the press and what happens when an administration decides certain news organizations should no longer receive the same access.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris are joined by journalist Reshonda Tate to break down the controversy and discuss what this move could mean for journalists, news organizations and the public.
The panel discusses:
• Can a president block specific news organizations from White House access? • What does this mean for journalists covering the administration? • Is this about accountability, political retaliation or something else? • Where is the line between criticizing the press and restricting access? • Could more news outlets find themselves targeted next? • And what does this ongoing battle between the White House and the media mean for Americans trying to get reliable information?

Captain Nia Gilliam was a first officer sitting on the runway at Newark, waiting for takeoff clearance, when she watched a large jet turn down the Hudson and strike the South Tower. She thought it was a firefighting aircraft coming to help. Moments later, air traffic control cleared her flight for takeoff. She landed in Boston that day intending never to fly again — and tells the story of what brought her back in her new book, "Cleared for Takeoff."
Houston Fire Chief Thomas Muñoz had just come off shift when the phone rang. Within the hour he was activated with the Coast Guard. He reflects on the 343 firefighters lost, how the fire service permanently changed its approach to high-rise fires, falling debris, and secondary devices — and what it was like to sit in a pew at a single funeral and imagine 343 of them.
IN THIS EPISODE - A first officer's account from the Newark runway - Why air traffic control said "we know, but we'd rather not say" - Becoming one of the few Black women flying commercially - How 343 line-of-duty deaths reshaped firefighting tactics - Houston's 9/11 remembrance at Fire Station 8

New restaurant tipping data is revealing which states leave the biggest gratuities — and where Texas falls on the list.
According to Toast’s latest data, Texans leave an average tip of about 18.5% overall, with tips at full-service restaurants averaging about 18.8%. That puts Texas slightly below the national restaurant tipping average.
On IFU Primetime Live, Isiah Carey, Keisean Marshall and Senora Harris weigh in on tipping culture in Texas. Are Texans tipping enough? Has tipping gotten out of control? And what do you do when the screen suddenly asks for a tip at places where you never tipped before?

But what happens when the experience doesn’t feel as welcoming as expected?
On Isiah Factor: Uncensored, our panelists share their own experiences with relocating to or spending extended time in Africa, including concerns about being financially targeted, cultural misunderstandings and the emotional weight of being viewed as an outsider — even while trying to reconnect with ancestral roots.
Dr. Angela Jones joins the conversation to unpack the growing complaints from some Black American expats living in Ghana and other parts of Africa.
Is there a disconnect between the idea of “returning home” and the reality of actually building a life there? Why do some Black Americans say they feel welcomed at first, but later treated differently because they are American? And how much of the tension comes down to culture, money, expectations and identity?
The panel also looks at the other side of the conversation: moving to another country means adjusting to a different culture, and experiences can vary widely depending on the person, community and expectations going in.
💬 WHAT DO YOU THINK? If you moved to Africa hoping to reconnect with your roots, how would you react if you were still treated like an outsider?

Isiah Carey and the Factor Uncensored panel break down the math nobody wants to hear — and what it costs when you get it wrong.
A growing number of young adults are quietly banking on mom and dad's money to survive inflation, rising rent, and a job market that keeps shifting. But between Medicaid Estate Recovery, nursing home bills that start at $60,000–$80,000 a year, funeral costs, inherited debt, and probate court, the "great wealth transfer" looks very different up close.

Ring video reportedly shows the dog approaching the suspected burglar during a break-in — but instead of barking, growling or trying to scare him away, the Golden Retriever appears to bring the stranger toys and try to play.
So much for guarding the house.
On IFU Primetime Live, Senora Harris, Keisean Marshall and Matt Horn react to the hilarious video and debate whether some dogs are simply too friendly to ever be trusted with home security.
And there’s a little divide on the panel: Senora and Matt are dog lovers, while Keisean doesn’t have a dog — so naturally, they have very different expectations about what a dog is actually supposed to do when somebody breaks into the house.
Is your dog really protecting you — or would they happily welcome a burglar inside for belly rubs and snacks?
💬 COMMENT NOW: Be honest — if someone broke into your house, would your dog protect you or make a new friend?

Matchmaker Breaks Down Record RiseIsiah Factor: Uncensored2026-09-17 | Why are so many men in America single — and is modern dating making it harder to find a lasting relationship?
New data cited by the Institute for Family Studies shows the number of unmarried young men in the United States has climbed dramatically over the past 25 years. The report says there were 30.4 million single young men in 2025, compared with 20.7 million in 2000. At the same time, the number of married men in the same general age group fell from 18.1 million to 15.4 million.
That leaves roughly 15 million more unmarried young men than married men — a much wider gap than a generation ago.
On IFU Primetime Live, Senora Harris, Keisean Marshall and Matt Horn dig into what may be happening in today’s dating world with matchmaker Juanita Brown.
Are dating apps helping people connect — or making everyone believe someone better is one swipe away? Have expectations between men and women changed? Are finances keeping people from settling down? And are some men perfectly happy being single?
Keisean also weighs in from the perspective of a single man navigating the modern dating scene, bringing the conversation beyond the numbers and into what dating actually feels like today.
💬 COMMENT NOW: Why do YOU think so many men are single today — the men, the women, dating apps, money, unrealistic expectations… or something else?

But police in Louisiana say one home care worker did the unthinkable.
Reginald Andre Wilson, 30, is accused of putting bleach into a water bottle and giving it to a physically and mentally disabled client he was hired to care for.
On IFU Primetime Live, Senora Harris, Keisean Marshall and Matt Horn discuss the disturbing case and the bigger questions it raises for families who rely on strangers to care for elderly, disabled or otherwise vulnerable relatives.
How much do families really know about the people coming into their homes? Are background checks and supervision enough? And when a loved one cannot fully advocate for themselves, who is making sure the caregiver is actually providing care?
💬 COMMENT NOW: Would this story make you think twice about hiring an in-home caregiver?
