Held Against Your Will Podcast

Michigan football is a mess, the Lions defense is a disaster, and Will is not holding back on either one. But the real heat in this episode comes from a wild run through death penalty failures, true-crime outrage, and the kind of horror-movie takes that only get sharper as spooky season kicks in.

Will opens with a brutally honest rant about bad football and then pivots into the Crista Pike case and her botched execution. From there, he hits the Cornell case and the disturbing twist involving one of the men, who is now in Dubai claiming he was the victim of sexual assault himself, raising questions about memory, consent, and whether the story is even what it seems.

You'll also hear Will's unfiltered take on the internet roasting Trump ally, Susan Dell for her terrifying public appearance. Then he shifts into full October mode, talking horror season, why Halloween Ends may have ruined a beloved franchise for him, and why Other Mommy is now at the top of his must-watch list.

He also gets real about what this show is becoming - part rant, part true crime, part movie talk, part listener-driven conversation.

If you like raw opinions, uncomfortable jokes, Michigan sports pain, and a host who actually wants you to tell him what to cover next, this one is built for you.Perfect for fans of blunt commentary, true crime, horror movies, and anybody who wants a podcast that sounds like a real conversation instead of a polished press release.

This episode is a blunt, uncomfortable callout of what real responsibility looks like when a woman is drunk, vulnerable, and in danger—and why stepping in is the only move that matters. Will reacts to the Cornell assault allegations and uses the story to make a bigger point about men, ethics, and the difference between protecting someone and exploiting an opportunity. He examines details circulating online, pushes back on the “boys will be boys” excuse, and explains why consent, judgment, and basic human decency matter. You’ll hear Will challenge the logic behind the group chat texts, rumors around the case, and the idea that a bad situation becomes acceptable just because someone had been drinking or flirted earlier. He also discusses the responsibility men have to interrupt dangerous situations—and why being called a “simp” is better than standing by. In this episode:

• Why intoxication matters when considering consent
• The difference between legal defense and moral responsibility
• How bystander intervention can help prevent assault
• Why “she wanted it” is not a defense
• What the case raises about male culture and accountability

This episode is raw, opinionated, and intentionally uncomfortable. It’s a conversation about accountability, speaking up, and why protecting someone should never be treated like weakness.

Will kicks things off with a furious reaction to the Lions getting shredded by the Bills, then pivots into Michigan football, Bryce Underwood, and the kind of honest fan frustration only a lifelong Lions supporter can deliver. But this isn’t just a sports recap - it’s the origin story of a podcast built on rambling, trolling, and saying the thing everyone else is thinking but won’t say out loud.

He also gets candid about the kind of show he wants to build: part sports, part news, part unfiltered life commentary, with guests, family, and plenty of moments that might land him on the borderline of cancellation. The result is a surprisingly personal introduction to a host who wants the audience to feel less like listeners and more like people hanging out in the room.If you want a podcast that sounds like a real conversation instead of a corporate product, this is the place to start. Perfect for anyone who likes sports, dark humor, blunt opinions, and watching a show find its voice in real time.
