Yes, Cirque du Soleil is a sport. You try backflipping through the air! And yes, the owner and creator of Cirque du Soleil is just as colorful as you'd expect. This week, we're talking about Guy Laliberte, creator and former owner of Cirque du Soleil. To help us talk about Laliberte, comedian Joyelle Johnson joins the show to tell us about how she was almost a Cirque du Soeli clown herself! Plus...a very special guest.

Buckle up for a wild trip behind the scenes of one of the most exclusive clubs on earth: the world of professional sports owners. A mix of comedy, tragedy, and everything in between, OWNED is the first podcast ever to take listeners way above the court or field into the luxury boxes where billionaires roam. Each week, former NBA player (and current Twitter all-star) Rex Chapman is joined by a cast of reporters, athletes, and comedians to dissect the politics, scandals, and scores of these eccentric moguls who hold our hopes and dreams in their hands. It is fun, funny, dynamic, surprising, and based on incredible stories; a hybrid talk show that combines the wit and flair of SmartLess with the reporting, storytelling, and production muscle of Campside Media, creators of hit shows like Chameleon: Wild Boys, and Suspect.
