The new season of Bloomberg's Foundering podcast retraces the life and gruesome death of John McAfee. In the 1980s and ’90s, the McAfee name was synonymous with computer antivirus software, and he helped establish the modern cybersecurity industry. But afterward, his life took a strange and dark turn. He was accused of murder, an allegation he denied, and then went on the lam. He sought to reinvent himself as a cryptocurrency guru and as a candidate for US president. Reporter Jamie Tarabay interviews McAfee’s colleagues, acquaintances, investigators and family members to demystify lies he told throughout his life, reveal the secrets he kept and resolve questions surrounding his public and decades-long self-destruction.

We start the show with headlines caused by our last episode with Mads Lewis, as her insinuation that she was a victim of Tayler Holder caused him to speak publicly for the first time about the accusations since his appearance on our podcast in February. We break down missing the Mads admission in real time, Tayler making his response video claiming he sent a C&D, Dave reaching out to both Mads and Tayler, Tayler calling out Josh, and Tayler's mom getting in the mix calling out both BFFs and Mads. We then get into the regular headlines of people thinking Nessa was saying Mads and her were not friendly, Mads response, Vinnie Hacker signifying the death of Tik Tok houses after leaving the Hype House, Trisha Paytas giving birth, Adam Levine's bizarre cheating scandal, Leo and Gigi Hadid dating, Kim Kardashian saying her next man will not be famous, Short King Surgery, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera beefing, Post Malone's fall at his show, and Tik Tokkers making NyQuil Chicken. We finish with BFFs corner with the long awaited explantation with what truly happened with Bri's encounter at the Harry Styles concert (#BoaGate), the fallout since, and finish up with Grace's RNR opponent getting some work in with David Dobrik and the Vlog Squad.

This episode contains descriptions of sexual harassment.

After accusations of sexual harassment against Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York surfaced early this year, an independent investigation was begun.

And while people around the governor — and his critics — expected the ensuing report to be bad, what came out this week was worse.

There have been widespread calls for Mr. Cuomo to resign, but will he go?

Guest: Shane Goldmacher, a national political reporter for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• Investigators into sexual harassment by Mr. Cuomo said they had corroborated the claims of 11 women who accused the governor of inappropriate behavior, including suggestive comments and instances of groping.
• A new account of sexual harassment by Mr. Cuomo from a state trooper bolsters a meticulous new report on his misdeeds — and how his inner circle allowed such conduct to fester.
• In the wake of the report, the New York governor has been met with consequential defections from core constituencies, including labor, white suburban lawmakers and Black political leaders.

Note: This episode contains descriptions of sexual violence.

A former Senate aide to Joseph R. Biden Jr., the prospective Democratic presidential candidate, has accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1993. A Biden spokeswoman said the allegation was false, and people who had worked in Mr. Biden’s office did not recall talk of such an incident. Today, we examine what we know about the allegation, who Ms. Reade spoke to about her experience at the time and what her former colleagues say now. Guest: Lisa Lerer, a reporter at The New York Times who covers campaigns, elections and political power, who spoke with Ms. Reade. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

Background reading:

• Ms. Reade recently filed a report with the Washington, D.C., police, saying she was the victim of a sexual assault in 1993. While not naming Mr. Biden directly, Ms. Reade said the complaint was about him.
• Last year, Ms. Reade and seven other women came forward to accuse Mr. Biden of kissing, hugging or touching them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable.

Robert is joined again by Laci Mosley to continue discussing John McAfee.

At the very last minute, Democrats have conjured up sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. There are several very good reasons to doubt the story. I will outline those reasons. Also, we have to tackle another question: even if Kavanaugh is guilty, should he necessarily lose the Supreme Court position because of a bad thing he did as a kid three decades ago? Let's talk about it now.

Abstinence before marriage is not just a religious idea. It is a strategy that could solve or greatly reduce many of our most serious societal problems. Advocating “safe sex” has not solved anything. Maybe it’s time to rethink some things.
