Milli Vanilli Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

Milli Vanilli was one of the most popular musical acts of the late eighties and early nineties but their success would be short-lived once it was discovered that they were faking the whole thing. But how did two young guys from Europe manage to fool the entire music industry? With a lot of help, it turns out. Join Greg and Liz as they dive into the rise of Milli Vanilli, the deception heard round the world and why Rob and Fab deserve to be so much more than a punchline.

Have you heard there's a rumor in St Petersburg? Turns out, there was so much more to the tale of the Princess Anastasia than her mysterious end. Join Greg and Liz as they dive into the road that lead to the famous mystery: from Tsar Nicholas II's ill-fated reign that resulted in a revolution to the families close ties to the mystical Rasputin to their tragic ending that resulted in decades of intrigue. Finally, we ask the most pressing question of all....how did any of this end up becoming a children's movie??

This episode is for anyone who might be going through their own midlife crisis or just needs to put a positive spin on getting older...we're all in this together!

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

And we're back to finish up our recap of "The Woman In Me", the memoir from Ms. Britney Jean Spears. In this episode, we discuss her relationship with Kevin Federline, the road to conservatorship, how she finally broke free and our final thoughts on the book. We also go a little deeper into the creepy connection between two major players in the drama and dive into her iconic music videos. Finally, Greg issues a formal apology to those he offended last week - we promise this one is much easier to handle for those who hold Britney close to their hearts.
