What a Creep Season 4, Episode 9 Gary Glitter If you don’t know the name Gary Glitter, you’ve definitely heard his songs. His most popular songs are “Rock and Roll (Parts 1 and 2),” and they are used at sporting events and featured in movies all the time. It was most recently featured in the staircase dancing scene in “Joker.” He was a glam rock singer (think glittery, sequined suits, make-up, platform boots like David Bowie, Roxy Music, New York Dolls), and has sold more than 20 million records, had 26 hit singles; 12 reaching the Top 10, with three #1 hits.  He’s also been arrested multiple times for child pornography and child sexual abuse. He’s a serious creep.

What a Creep

Season 4, Episode 8

Bernie Madoff

This week’s Creep has the distinction of running the most expensive Ponzi scheme of all time. His name is Bernie Madoff and he ripped off thousands of people to the tune of over $65 billion and has shown little remorse. Margo tells the story this week and then Sonia talks about a billion who is (most likely) not a Creep. Enjoy!

Margo & Sonia are in the mood to rock & roll all night and party every day with this rock-themed episode of musicians behaving very badly. This episode is a little different because instead of focusing on one person--we are taking turns with different bands who have very problematic bandmates. We also get into who is into really young girls before we talk about our NON-Creep.

This is our 2019 season finale and we could not be more excited than to celebrate our first ever awards--The Creepies! Somehow we were able to get a huge venue to host us--Wembley Arena! Sure, we are based in two different parts of the U.S. but with some podcast magic (meaning some booze and a little imagination) we make this show come to life.

Bikram Choudhury created Bikram yoga in the 1970s and the Calcutta-born yogi has experienced tremendous success for decades as an innovator and guru. He is also a total sleaze who lies about his accomplishments (training Richard Nixon? World Champion in the 1960s?) Oh, and he abuses and harasses women who think of him as a father figure. (What a creep, no?)

Steven Seagal is creepy on so many levels that we had to weed some things out due to time constraints. Here we give you the 411 on why the first non-Asian person to own a dojo in Japan (sure, Jan), actor, musician, and the supposedly certified peace officer is not only an embellisher of his accomplishments but also a total letch to women. (And man is he sense of humor-deprived!)

Margo & Sonia give updates on a few of the Creeps covered in season in the past plus a new Creep--Harry Knowles of "Ain't It Cool News" who gave a very classy review of the show "Heroes" in 2006 (meaning he was a Creepy douche about Hayden Panettiere and the character she played when she was 17.)

Margo & Sonia give updates on a few of the Creeps covered in season two. We will be back next week with a new season and start it with a golden age of Hollywood Creep who has a hell of a story!
