We're pulling back the curtain on the dollars and cents behind THE celebrity PR (?!) relationship, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Join us as we dissect the lucrative business of crafting public images that helped make the NFL an additional $330M this season.

We also dig into the undeniable rise of NFL star Travis Kelce from the field to the cover of the Wall Street Journal (magazine, but still!). This guy didn't get fame and fortune just from his on-field activies.

We go over his college management team, The Eanes Brothers, that made it happen. Follow us for more  @RisqueBusinessNews  @mae_planert @laurasogar xoxoxo

It's a modern-day Cinderella story!

The girls talk about the story of Samsung heiress, Lee Boo-jin, who falls in love with her security guard and has to convince her Korean GDP-impacting family to let her start a life with him.

Don't worry, as with all of our stories this one doesn't have a happy ending when he goes on to cheat on her (?!) and goes through a brutal divorce.

We also talk about our weekend going to The Box, a famous s*x club in NYC, so don't tune in with your kiddos unless that's your famillies style!

It's a hot one! Follow us  @RisqueBusinessNews 

What do an exploding Dunkin Donuts toilets, that University Chancellor who had a side hustle in porn, a violated manatee statue, and the anti-surrogacy pope all have in common? They're some of the weirdest news we cover in this weeks episode. 

We start off with White Claw's lame attempt to get into the Dry January game by creating non-alcoholic White Claws aka normal seltzer waters. I'm not buying it! Then we go through a dirty lawsuit against Dunkin’,  and a cute little story about a college chancellor that gets fired for making porn with his wife. Hey, what people do in their spare time is their business, no? Oh! And the pope hates Khloe Kardashian for using a surrogate?

You had to know we were going to do this one... the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story. Mae and Laura tell the story of a decades long financial and medical scam perpetrated by Dee Dee Blanchard.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know who Gypsy is by now, but do you know the full story? The girls cover her childhood, how her mom got away with her crimes, her family drama, and the harrowing tale of the murder that ended Gypsy in prison and on tabloids everywhere.

Oh…. And also are there aliens in Miami or what? We cover the story of the insane police response to “teens fighting” at a Miami mall???

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!
