Shady Shit

Listen, lets all try and be a little better to ourselves in 2022. Let's lean a little on the woo woo and start talking to the moon. The Donas founder Donna Guerreros joins the pod to discuss setting intentions, tarot readings and what a difference taking care of yourself spiritually can make. SPOILER! It's all in the cards!!

Whether or not you were an NSYNC fan or a BSB head, you have one man to thank for those bands - Lou Pearlman. Lou discovered both boy bands as well as about 10 others. What my guest Mike Albanese and I didn't know as were learning the Bye Bye Bye choreo, was that he also was ripping off our boys and paying them hardly anything! Not only that, he was also ripping off 1700 other people in a huge Ponzi scheme! Spoiler! Which member of LFO told he Lou he did not want it THAT way....

Casey welcomes her husband back to pod to discuss the case of surgeon Robert Birenbaum. Bob married a woman named Gail Katz in the 80's who "mysteriously disappeared". He goes on to remarry and become a father and local celeb in North Dakota but gets arrested years later on a big "we really think he killed her hunch". Soooooo SPOILER! Did he do it??

Lets deep dive into the mysterious situation involving Chinese tennis pro Peng Shuai. The Chinese government has scrubbed any mention of her name following her sexual assault allegations against a former vice premiere in the communist party. This is the definition of SHADY SHIT. State run organizations are posting videos of her to show she is "safe" but she isn't speaking in any of them and no one can get a hold of her. A state run broadcast station said she wrote an email saying the allegations were not true buuuuuutttt SPOILER! It's the email that is most likely untrue!

This ep's a doozy! I somehow convinced Grace Atwood to read the book If You Tell by Gregg Olsen that recounts the story of Shelly Knotek as told by her daughters and husband. To say this book will give you nightmares is an understatement. Shelly Knotek tortured two people to death all while her children watched. She lured people in by love bombing them only to turn that into the sickest form of torture and abuse. No spoilers for this one - it's truly disturbing!

I promised you murder and you're gonna get it! Philly's own Kevin Ryan stops by to discuss a hometown killer that was the inspiration for Buffalo Bill. Find out how one man ran a successful church and a torture dungeon all while having a roommate. Spoiler alert! You'll never look at dog food the same...

We threw all the plans out the window and just shot the shit for a truly honest convo about life as a comic. This episode is pretty much a comedians brain dumped inside out. You wanna know what we talk about? SURPRISE! It's Tik Tok and other comedians. Sarah Tollemache joins to talk about setting boundaries in your DM's, maybe quitting comedy, and what it's really like to go after your dreams. SPOILER! Can you find success smoking weed and watching reality TV??

Seriously? What happened? Casey takes a look at all the things that went wrong with this tragic music festival. Why didn't anyone consider Travis Scott's reputation for chaotic shows? Why was there only one security guard at the VIP entrance? Why did the concert go on after ambulances made their way through the crowd? And why do people want to stand for that long to see an artist???? Spoiler! This is not the first time this has happened...

Rate and Review to win a bottle of Pinot Grigio!

Roberta Blevins from Amazon's documentary Lularich is here to spill her guts about all things Lularoe and MLM culture as a whole. We get into things that you didn't see in the doc and she brings the actual numbers to the table about who is making money selling oils and pants and who is not. It's nearly as bad as you think - Spoiler! It's way worse....

To round out spooky scary month, Casey's sister Jessie shares ghost stories from the hospital....is there anything more terrifying than a ghost child who wanders a hospital?!?!? Also if you never knew the history of trick or treating, or why we all thought there was poison in our mini kit kat bars in the 80's that changes today! Spoiler! What candy bar was named after a horse??
