#061 - The Rapper who Stole $4.5 Billion in Bitcoin | Risque Business News

We've got the hilarious Anna Bianco on the pod with us.

First up, Anna spills the beans on some serious workplace drama at American Apparel, namely being possibly the only employee to NOT be harassed. Then, we dive into the cutthroat competition of being a George Washington Museum tour manager. 

For our weekly topics, we've got some m*rder for ya. We've gotta talk about that Joe Rogan guest who decided to follow up his prison reform tour with a BIG crime. Trigger warning on this one! Then Ja Biden is going full Dark Brandon with the recent bill introduced that may swipe out of TikTok for the last time. Are we finally going to be free? 

And the Mother's Day photo that broke the internet. Folks, we're talking Kate Middleton''s "self edited" family photo. Where. Is. She. At. We discuss.

This week on the pod the ladies are talking the #GotProof lawyer, Nicole Fegan, who got so involved in her trial with gang YSL (not Yves St Laurent) that she ended up locked up herself.

We check in on our boy SBF who is making friends in jail and get an update on Neuralink human trials. We also discuss the Momfluencer, Ruby Franke, who got locked up for child abuse. Definitely not trying to be influenced by her! 

Laura also gives a critical review of Poor Things, she hated it.

This week we’ve got a story we can’t even believe is true - the time that eBay cyber-stalked (and in-person stalked) a Massachusetts couple for writing them a bad review. Talk about not being able to take a dose of your own medicine! The girls go into the story of Ina and David Steiner who ran the newsletter and website, EcommerceBytes for sellers on sites like eBay and had a mafia-style intimidation campaign run against them by eBay executives. We’re talking embalmed pig fetuses, live cockroaches, literature-based death threats, and A LOT more.

The ladies also cover some lighter stories like a good old-fashioned lawsuit between Disney and Gina Carano over mask mandates and the NYPD dance squad that has New Yorkers saying ACABD (all cops are bad dancers). Enjoy!

On this week’s episode, the ladies talk football! Filmed on Super Bowl Sunday we go over Game Day predictions and commercials of the past, yes this is coming out after the Super Bowl so you get the pleasure of hearing how stupid we sounded!

There’s more though! Elon Musk hired his employee, Shivon Zilis, for an unusual task that definitely required HR review- surrogating his twin babies. The TikToks these kids are going to come up with about having Elon as a dad will be truly next level.

We talk Taylor Swift suing former guest of the pod, Jack Sweeney (check out our episode with him), for tracking her private jet. 

We finish the episode off with the tale of the viral Stanley Cups, the 40 OZ to hydrated freedom that are quenching the Mormon moms of America and also giving them lead poisoning (?!). It’s a hot one!

We've got a February story round-up!

This week we're talking about the comeback story of the century *dramatic* - Shane Gillis's return to SNL as a host! 5 years after his off-color jokes got him fired, he's back as a guest host with a Budlight sponsorship thrown in the mix. Cheers to that! 

Then we chat about a viral tide-pod-inspired challenge sweeping Korea, is it actually as bad as it sounds? Turns out, maybe not! 

We finish up with some truly terrifying developments in the world of mind control - Neuralink has kicked off clinical trials in humans for its Link device. The ladies go into the goals of Neuralink to merge humans with AI and its surprising number of competitors.

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?
