Alzheimer's disease can now be detected with a simple blood test. And for the first time, two new drugs can actually slow its progression. Today in podcast extra, I'll count down the five numbers behind the biggest shift in Alzheimer's care in a generation, including one that could catch the disease before symptoms even start. Plus, a judge declares a mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy murder case, the latest jobs report exceeds expectations and college football's first full Saturday slate arrives.
And here's today's trivia. What unusual fear is known as a raki butrophobia. It's Saturday, September 5th, and this is the flyover podcast. A judge declared a mistrial Friday in the sensational Lindsey Clancy murder trial after jurors remained deadlocked through 36 hours of deliberations. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in 2023. Clancy's attorney argued that a lone holdout juror refused to follow the law on reasonable doubt and appealed immediately to Massachusetts highest court, seeking an order to investigate and potentially remove him from the panel. The appeal was denied. Clancy's defense conceded she killed the children, but argued postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible. She remains held without bail at a state psychiatric facility while prosecutors decide whether to retry the case.
Next the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August more than doubling economists forecast and delivering the strongest month of hiring since March. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Student services led the gains with 59,000 new positions followed by public education at 42,000. The labor department also revised July's initial negative figures into positive territory. The stronger than expected report complicates the federal reserve's decision ahead of its September meeting where officials are weighing whether to raise rates to combat persistent inflation. And finally, college football's first full Saturday slate has arrived with number two Oregon hosting Boise State this afternoon before Clemson and number 11 LSU takes center stage tonight in Baton Rouge. ESPN's college game day will be live from LSU's campus for the program's 500th road show.
As Lane Giffin prepares to make his LSU coaching debut after a tumultuous offseason. Thursday the southeastern conference filed a federal lawsuit against LSU and Giffin over the program's push to roster former NFL players. Later that day, a Louisiana judge separately granted a preliminary injunction allowing dozens of athletes, including former pros recruited by LSU to pursue another season of eligibility. Nationally, Ohio State opens the season at number one with Oregon, Georgia, Notre Dame and Texas rounding out the top five defending national champion Indiana ranks number six followed by reigning runner up Miami at number seven. Here's what's making news in politics. President Trump demanded the federal reserve cut interest rates and threatened to halt trade with countries where the U.S. runs deficits reacting to Friday's stronger than expected August jobs report.
The first Army Corps of Engineers official Adam Tell was named acting Army Secretary replacing Dan Driscoll who resigned amid reported friction with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Meanwhile North Carolina and Friday became the first state to begin mailing midterm ballots to voters as ongoing litigation over Trump's mail voting executive order continues. And finally, Elon Musk's America pack disclosed over $800,000 in initial midterm spending last month with the bulk directed toward defending Republican Senate seats in Texas and Maine. Yamavap Resort and Casino at San Manuel is bringing the biggest laughs to the stage. Break taboos with Ali Wang on August 28th and 29th. Enjoy Ralph Barbosis dry humor on September 18th and 19th. And don't miss Nikki Glazer's unapologetic comedy November 19th. Tickets on sale now at Yamavaptheater.com. Only at Yamavap Resort and Casino celebrating its 40th anniversary.

How early conductors now catch Alzheimer's disease and does catching it early actually change anything? Today we're breaking it down into five numbers. Number one is 2025. That's the year the FDA approved the first blood test used to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Before this, confirming the disease meant a spinal tap or an expensive PET scan. Now the process can start with a simple blood draw. And doctors expect the test to become the standard of care for anyone 55 and older showing signs of memory trouble. Number two is simply two. That's how many new infusion drugs have been approved in the last two years.
Lecana Mab in 2023 and Denana Mab in 2024. Both are antibody treatments delivered by IV that clear amyloid plaque from the brain. The sticky protein build up considered a hallmark of the disease. Under the first approved treatments that target the underlying biology rather than just the symptoms. Number three is the big one. 27 to 30%. That's roughly how much these drugs slowed clinical decline in trials compared with patients who did not receive the treatments. This is not a cure and it doesn't reverse damage already done, but for a disease where doctors had almost nothing to offer for decades, slowing the decline by nearly a third is being called a historic moment. Families know exactly what an extra year or two of independence is worth. Number four gives us two more numbers, two and four. A pair. Those are the infusion schedules.
Lecana Mab every two weeks, Denana Mab every four. Each session lasting about an hour. And here's the catch. These treatments only work for people caught in the early stages with confirmed amyloid build-up. Once the disease reaches moderate or advanced stages, the drugs haven't been shown to help. That's exactly why the blood test matters so much. Number five is one fifth. That's the share of new Alzheimer's diagnostic research focused on tools most people might not expect, including annual eye exams. Research has found that early signs of the disease can appear in the retina and some experts think a routine eye exam could eventually catch it before a single memory problem appears. So here's where that leaves families. A disease once diagnosed, laid and treated with almost nothing now has an early blood test and two treatments that meaningfully slow it down with more screening tools on the way.
It's not a cure, but it's the most hopeful chapter in Alzheimer's care in a very long time. That last number really got my attention because I'm overdue for my eye exam and I'll be promptly making that appointment. Did you know an eye exam could potentially reveal signs of Alzheimer's disease? Let me know what you think in the comments. Coming up, a retiree is being asked to repay $35,000 after the government says it overpaid her for years and Labor Day travelers are facing record high prices at the pump. But first a word from our sponsor, AG1. Once fall gets underway, the relaxed pace of summer disappears pretty quickly. The alarm goes off earlier, the calendar fills up, and suddenly there's a lot more to keep track of. That's when simple routines become especially valuable. I've been trying to work out more consistently and AG1 is such an easy addition to that healthier routine. I use it regularly because it gives me a simple way to add nutritional support to my morning.
It's just one scoop mixed with eight ounces of cold water. AG1 is a daily health drink with a multivitamin, prebiotics and probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants. This next-gen formula includes more than 75 ingredients and is clinically shown to support gut health. Fill common nutrient gaps and improve key nutrient levels within three months. I appreciate having something this simple on hand, especially when life gets busy and taking care of myself could otherwise slip down the list.

It is so tasty, you will thank me for this one. Now back to podcast extra.
Imagine carefully budgeting for retirement only to learn that the government wants $35,000 back and it wants the money within 30 days. That's what happened to a retiree in her mid-70s who says the Social Security Administration overpaid her benefits. Her monthly check was cut by about $600 earlier this year with little explanation. Then a notice arrived saying the agency had been overpaying her for four years. She says she was never told why and as far as she knows, she did nothing wrong. If she cannot repay in full, the agency plans to cut her benefits in half for two years. That would leave her with around $1350 a month. She's not alone. The agency reportedly sends over payment notices to roughly two million people a year and recipients must repay even when the mistake is the government's. Authorities can appeal within 60 days or request a waiver if they were not at fault and cannot
afford to pay. The woman is now working with an advisor on an appeal which pauses collection while her case is reviewed. In another growing expense is hitting millions of Americans this holiday weekend, the price of filling up gasoline prices are surging ahead of Labor Day and AAA predicts travelers will face the highest holiday prices on record. The national average for regular gas is reached $4.14 per gallon up for cents in a week according to the Motor Club. Gas has never topped $4 per gallon on Labor Day. Prices usually fall at this time of year as demand drops, but AAA says this year is different because of high crude oil prices. That cost is driven by ongoing conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that carries one-fifth of the world's oil supply. Since the start of the Iran War, higher pump prices have cost American households more than $741 each according to a Brown University tracker.
President Trump has met with oil refineries to discuss boosting capacity and he recently struck a deal with Venezuela over its oil reserves. Let's say prices will likely stay elevated until shipping resumes in the Strait. Yamavar Resort and Casino at San Manuel is bringing the biggest laughs to the stage. Break taboos with Ali Wang on August 28th and 29th. Enjoy Ralph Barbosa's dry humor on September 18th and 19th. And don't miss Nikki Glacier's unapologetic comedy November 19th.

Taking a look at finance, the markets closed lower overall on Friday than Azdak fell 0.29 percent, the S&P 500 dropped 0.38 percent and the Dow lost 0.51 percent. Bitcoin declined 1.79 percent, gold fell 0.30 percent and silver dipped 0.32 percent.
Oil was the lone gainer edging up 0.08 percent. Let's see what's making news around the world. First rescuers pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal where last weeks flash flood along the Tibet border has killed at least 1,287 people with roughly 5,000 still missing. Next Ukrainian president Zelensky said White House on-boys Steve Whitkov and Jared Kushner will visit both Moscow and Kiev in the coming days as US brokered peace mediation resumes after months of stall talks while Russian attacks on Ukraine continue. Finally, the US military downed approximately 100 suspected cartel drones in August using laser systems along Mexico's northern border with the US, the Pentagon revealed, marking the first disclosure of how frequently the technology is being deployed. Time to check the scoreboard.
Here's the latest in sports WMBA commissioner Kathy Engelbert will retire at the end of the year, ending a 7-year tenure marked by expansion and new media deals as well as ongoing public controversies about officiating problems and transgender policies. Next world number one arena, sobelinka, paused her US open match because of a strong marijuana smell at Lewis Armstrong Stadium before beating Camilla Rahimova 6364 for her 16th straight US open victory. Meanwhile the pro football hall of fame will shrink its selector board from 50-28 and eliminate its separate seniors category under sweeping changes beginning in 2027. And finally North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi, a top-aid to coach Bill Belicek resigned Thursday after being placed on paved leave during an internal investigation. Now it's time to leave you with a few more stories we thought you should know.
Global billionaire wealth surged 12.8% to a record $15.1 trillion in 2025 held by a total of about 3,800 people with AI linked companies driving much of the gains. Meanwhile USD's prices hit a record $5.85 per gallon on average Friday, topping the previous high set in 2022 as the 6 month Iran war continues disrupting global fuel supply. Finally, a new survey found that 35% of Gen Z drivers have never learned to drive a stick shift compared with just 9% of baby boomers as manual transmissions all but vanish from US showrooms. And I want to hear from you, what do you think about that? We've actually got it next as a poll question. All right, it's time for a poll position where we turn the mic over to you and yesterday we asked was college worth it for you? Here's how you answered. 33% of you said yes
every penny. 26% said mostly yes. 20% said didn't go to college. 19% said not really and 2% said other. I got to say college was worth it for me but this is very interesting to me considering I have one in college and when about to go to college, I seriously hope it's worth it. Today's question. Can you drive a stick shift? Your choices are still do every day. Used to move on. I could if I had to. Tried once never again or what's a stick shift? I got to go with I could if I had to but it's definitely not something I choose to drive. Let me know what your answer is with a link in the show notes or in the email edition and make your voice heard. All right and here is today's trivia question. What do you fear if you suffer from
a raki butrophobia? I really hope I said that right because it is a mouthful and that actually tracks because it is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. The unusually specific phobia is not a fear of peanut butter itself and maybe connected to a broader fear of choking or even an aversion to textures. The more you know and that's our show for today.
