Intro

On this week’s episode, Mookie tries to come to grips with singer Adele’s ex-husband allegedly taking all of her money and Erica discusses the environmental impact of Pablo Escobar’s cocaine hippos.

Adele needs Simon to Pay for Dinner

Singer Adele and her husband might have parted ways but he’s probably not too sad as he allegedly gets $140M of her fortune. Did she pee in his Cheerios? Who gets Angelo? Did she have Mr. Bean as a divorce lawyer? Erica and Mookie discuss possible scenarios that would cause the courts to take someone’s fortune and hand it over to the spouse that didn’t earn it.

Cocaine Hippos

Africa isn’t the only place you can find hippos! When Pablo Escobar left this earth, he gifted Colombia with lots of hippos that he bought to show off his drug money. To everyone’s surprise, those hippos have thrived. Environmentalists were initially pretty mad but now they’re cool with it.

McMillions Scam

Throughout the 1990s former police officer Jerome P. Jacobson went from having a promising career in security to a multi-million dollar scam artist.  All it took was an honest mistake for Jerome to recognize the opportunity and seize it. Recruiting family and friends to also take part in the scam, Jerome pulled off a years-long scam during which he accumulated $24 million and earned a prison sentence.  

Twins?

Did you know that women can get pregnant by multiple men at the same time? As if unprotected sex doesn’t have enough consequences, here’s another one that is equally terrifying for men and women. 

A lady in New Jersey was suing the man she thought was the father of her twins for child support. The court ordered a paternity test. When the results came back, science said that he was the father… of ONE! Turns out, it’s very rare but one egg can be fertilized while the woman in question is still ovulating, leaving the opportunity open for another egg to be fertilized by another man’s “fertilizer”.  Oh, to be a fly on the wall in THAT courtroom!! 

Now she’s on the lookout for the father of the other baby.

Each week, comedians Erica and Mookie G of That’s News To Me dive into the deepest depths of the internets to dig up crazy and obscure news to drown out the bad stuff. Mainstream media can have their stories of mayhem and murder. In the inaugural season of That’s News to Me, we discuss everything from dominatrix grandmas to poo coffee.  Yum.
