In this episode, we discuss network news's red wedding when bowtie Tucker Carlson and "past his prime" Don Lemon were fired the same day from Fox and CNN. Twins!! 

Part 1 focuses on Don Lemon, the fired CNN anchor who was finally let go after years of questionable behavior.

We take a deep dive into his scandalous past from fun drunken New Year's Eve broadcasts with Dulce Sloan to more eyebrow-raising moments like infamous interviews (aka every GOP candidate - looking at you Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy) and Lemon Drop-fueled nights in the Hamptons (with subsequent lawsuits). 

Plus, we serve up some surprising new research about everyone's favorite fast food indulgence, the french fry, and Miller High Life's champagne problems. 

We also try Atomic Rhino smelling salts (?!) Smash that like and subscribe and follow us @mae_planert @laurasogar @risquebusinessnews

Mae and Laura are bringing an EXTRA risqué episode this week - we’re talking religion, sex, politics, and Elon Musk.

We tackle the ridiculous story of Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old incel who leaked Pentagon files just to win an argument on Discord. Because nothing says "I'm right" like putting national security at risk, right?

We also dish on yet another US town being poisoned (seriously, what's up with that?), Elon Musk's latest interview with the BBC where he squares off about misinformation and everyone's favorite city employee, the Rat Czar of Gotham.

We also go over the Dalai Lama and his lack of an HR Department. This will probably be what gets us canceled.

Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the terrifying (!!) world of crypto billionaires and the mysterious deaths that seem to be following them.

We start with the legacy and tragic death of Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco. Is SF becoming a modern-day Gotham City or are we all overreacting?

We take a look at the data and make up some of our own wild conspiracy theories. We also dish on the jaw-dropping deaths of other crypto tycoons, including the mysterious sleep-related passing of 30-year-old Tiantian Kullander, and the shocking drownings of Nikolai Mushegian and Mircea Popescu. It's a true crime thriller that meets the wild world of cryptocurrency!

Don't worry, we've got some legal drama too. We'll spill the details on the arrest of Forbes 30 under 30, Charlie Javice, the Elizabeth Holmes-inspired founder of Frank. She's facing up to 90 years in jail if found guilty of falsifying customer data.

Talk about high stakes!

This week on the pod we talk about the #1 Great American Pastime - taking people to court!  We recap the most ridiculous lawsuits in the United States. From suing McDonald's for coffee that was simply too hot to suing God, this country knows how to pay lawyers to waste the government's time. 

We also cover the most chaotic April Fools pranks of 2023 (weirdly the Royal Albert Hall won this one and it involved Hitler?), how Andrew Tate is psyop ChatGPT and Gwyneth Paltrow's iconic ski court victory.

The clock is ticking for TikTok as a United States ban is considered. The girls watch hits from CEO Shou Zi Chew's conversation with Congress about Project Texas, WiFi, dilated pupils, the Chinese Government and Jack Ma.

We also review Kanye West's new love of 21 Jump Street and the Jewish people (thanks Jonah Hill!), the Pope's official statement reviewing his own celibacy (he's not a fan!), and Canada's new pharmacy rules that put the cartel on the defense. It's a hot one!

Happy listening!

The Vanderpump Blues: Mae and Laura are all over the road with this one.

Robot strippers, male strippers, blind horses, and the Twitter executive that was fired by Elon Musk, or was he? Even he didn’t know. We then cover the Silicon Valley Bank meltdown and Janet Yellen's big save to top it all off. 

After those light topics, we dive into the heavy stuff, the #scandevol. We talk about the Bravo drama that is breaking the internet and then break down the life and times of none other than Lisa Vanderpump herself. Actress (sorta), philanthropist, restaurateur, and one hell of a pot stirrer. Happy women’s month, thanks for listening!

We're talking NYC rent prices and they are TOO HIGH! We go through an article from Curbed that talks about the impact of RealPage, a Texas software company that provides rent information to landlords and has singlehandedly raised rent prices around the country. (!!!) We also talk about a *cool* new kissing gadget going viral in China and a brand new way for companies to stalk you with the internet (this time IRL!).

It's the NFL for wrestling and theater fans! We're talking about the recently rebooted XFL and the many controversies that brought it down the first time. This WWE crossover into "real football" gave us some of lowest ratings of any network broadcast despite cameras in their cheerleaders' locker room and everything about Vince McMahon.

We also talk about the girls night at WWE, Laura getting targeted by military propaganda, Mae wanting to fight a cheerleader and more!

The girls address the question we've all been asking ourselves. Are mattress stores money laundering fronts?! The results are inconclusive so we brought in Dylan Holston who went to the stores themselves to find out. 

We also talk the Chinese spy balloon (s!), Johnny Depp's private island, swimming pigs and more!
