  • SURPRISE: McScammed
    Jul 10 2025

    SURPRISE! We know we said we were on break all of July (and we are - mental health is real and summer is for recharging), but we couldn't resist dropping another episode from the vault.

    This week, Anthony takes Dana through the absolutely bonkers story of the McDonald's Monopoly scam. What started as a fun fast food game turned into a multi-million dollar criminal enterprise, thanks to one man: "Uncle Jerry."

  • SURPRISE: An Open Concept Cult
    Jul 3 2025

    Surprise! We're dropping a bonus episode from the vault - one we never thought would see the light of day. In this surprise summer release, Anthony takes Dana through the absolutely unhinged rise and collapse of Adam Neumann and WeWork. From barefoot meetings to tequila-soaked investor pitches, this is the story of how a charismatic cult leader wannabe convinced the world that renting desks was worth $47 billion.

    This one's messy, wild, and maybe a little too real - and we couldn't leave it on the cutting room floor.
