In a follow-up from the Barbara Baekeland story, Alicia dips into the story of Regine, the woman behind the discotheque, and potentially the first DJ too. So many international spiderwebs are included in this trashy tale of a lady who is nowhere near as well-known as she should be.

Some stories shoot right past “trashy” and head straight for “disturbing,” and that is the case of murdered socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland. In this encore presentation from November 2022, Alicia recounts the troubling life and times of a family beset by mental illness and too much money, and the tragedy that unfolded as a result.

Over the last few years, country music fans have fallen in love with the music and persona of Jelly Roll, a former rapper who spent two decades trying to make his musical dreams come true. And as those dreams materialized, they did it in enormous fashion - while Jelly himself took the opportunity of that success to become smaller and smaller. As his circumstances and outlook have changed, apparently his ten-year marriage to podcast host Bunnie Xo became a casualty of his rise.

In today's Dumpster Dive, Alicia takes us on a journey through a land she is uniquely unqualified to speak on: sportsing! First up, an unsettling story about the NFL's Tyreek Hill and his long history of domestic violence. Then, basketballer Luka Doncic is having some trouble balancing fatherhood and a broken engagement in his native Slovenia. Next up, feast your ears on the soap opera that is the love lives of the women of the WNBA. Finally, in another example of Billionaires Behaving Badly, 49ers owner Jed York appears to be having a serious midlife crisis. He has recently filed for divorce in California, moved to a home his parents own in Ohio, and then been arrested for soliciting a sex worker/undercover cop in a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.

In 2023, Belle Burden, a granddaughter of Babe Paley, published an essay in the New York Times Modern Love column called, "Was I Married to a Stranger?" It's a question a lot of people ask themselves after a divorce, so the column went very viral and a book deal followed. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage published in January, and quickly became the must-read book of 2026. It's part processing and part cautionary tale, especially to women, about being active players in their own finances, and clear about their marital finances. Alicia explores the story and some of the pushback it has received.

We've all heard that money doesn't buy you happiness, and today we have a prime example. John Overdeck, co-founder of one of the world's largest hedge funds, Two Sigma Investments, is worth somewhere between $6B and $10B, but the guy can't get himself out of an increasingly enmeshed series of conflicts. First, there's the feud he has with Two Sigma's co-founder, where each holds about 50% of the company and they stopped speaking years ago. Then, there's John's estranged wife, Laura, who alleges in their divorce that he started squirreling money away in trusts in Wyoming almost twenty years ago to make sure it was out of her reach. Even the guy's girlfriend is filing lawsuits and calling the cops!
