Happy New Year! We are back with a hot one - we're talking fraud in the billions with a B and possibly the most wanted man in the world, Jan Marsalek.

Today's story is on the Wirecard disaster that high key embarrassed Germany's banking industry. We're focusing on wanted fugitive Jan Marsalek, the former high power Chief Operating Officer of Wirecard who was secretly a Russian spy.

We talk about how he used his position to try to fund a militia in Libya *casual* and win the love of his favorite man, Putin. Enjoy!

This week on the pod the ladies catch up with the 19-year-old arch-nemesis of Elon Musk, Jack Sweeney! Jack spent his quarantine taking exams and aggravating Elon with his Twitter/X account @ElonJet that published open-source information on Elon's private jet's flight records.

This transformed from a hilarious internet squabble to a historically notable free speech issue when Elon banned Jack and every reporter who dared to mention his tracker from the platform (and threatened to sue him). We get the first-hand story from Jack. 

We also talk to him about the Forbes 30 Under 30, Mark Cuban, Taylor Swift and all the other private jets his company, GrndCntrl tracks.

Give him a follow @elonjetnextday Elon Musk's Jet (@elonmusksjet) @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert

Laura proposed! This week we go over the logistics of the woman proposing (WHY ISN'T THIS A THING YET?)!

We talk about Laura's journeys in Asia including wet markets in Bangkok, beaches in Krabi, and the beauty industry in Seoul. 

We also go over some fun stories from November. Rivers of wine in Portugal! A finger found in a Chopt salad! 2 Million dogs being let free in Korea! It's been a wild month.

It's the holiday season and if you think your family is dramatic... this week we talk about the lady who has made family drama big business, Jada Pinkett Smith. With the release of her memoir in the middle of WWIII, Jada doesn't want us to keep her name out of our mouth.

We go over her history as a self-proclaimed drug dealer (entrepreneur!), the Scientology school she founded with Will Smith, her friend zoning of Tupac, and the many INSANE Red Table Talks that made us know frankly too much about her relationships.

Follow us  @RisqueBusinessNews  @laurasogar @mae_planert and Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

This week the ladies are joined by Sophie Buddle (Comedy Central, Tonight Show, Juno Award) and this episode is truly serving c*nt. We start off learning how the Canadian comedy scene works and break down how she got started in comedy at 14 years old (she made a lot of egg salad).

Then we get into the important topics like Kim Kardashians nipple bra and NBA SKIMS partnership - that lady sure knows how to handle basketball balls. We then go over Elon Musk’s master plan to get weird twitter guys laid with his Twitter/X dating site. 

We then get into the upcoming Prada NASA spacesuits and how aliens are absolutely real and definitely not interested in butt stuff anymore, stop asking. It’s a hot one!

This week on the pod the ladies are joined by Erica Spera, comedian and host of dating podcasts Finding Mr Height and Shooters Gotta Shoot, to talk about the rise of AI relationships.

From companies like Replika to influencers making their own AI bots, normal human people are opting out of dating other humans in favor of computers.

Try explaining that one to your grandma! We also go over whether people should date in the workplace and horror stories from those little trists!

It's scary season and the girls get into some work horror stories, including our own. From picking your nose on a call you're not invited to, to yelling at incestual cats on an All-Hands. We've all been there.

We then review some terrifying business moves like when Biore decided to use a SCHOOL SHOOTING influencer to sell nose strips?! Or when Tyson used immigrant child labor to clean slaughterhouses. We're scared.

We also give an honest review of Dumb Money, the documentary on the GameStop saga which absolutely INSISTED on including Pete Davidson for no damn reason. We also touch the absolutely terrifying personal life of Jada Pinkett Smith, lady why do we know so much about you.

This week the ladies are talking about the Bravo drama that doesn't go on camera, the latest push for unionization by Bethenny Frankel. From “Real Housewives” to “Something about Miriam” reality TV has been sucking the drama from these people's lives and making more than reality tv gold for decades. Should they see the money?

The gals are joined by everyone’s favorite TikTok star, Shannon Fiedler (  @shannonfiedler13 ) to talk about her work horror stories from careers past and Victoria’s Secret in its flop era?

The ladies dig into the latest Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which took a 5-year hiatus (did anyone notice? We didn't) to come back in a truly bizarre documentary fashion... with no wings!

We talk about the extremely dramatic way Rihanna took most of their shareholder money and review the top 5 moments that Victoria's Secret got called out for cultural appropriation.

It's a supermodel hot one! Thanks for listening! Follow us @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert  @shannonfiedler13
