Buckle up, folks, because this episode has it all. A billionaire murder mystery, a crime in the woods of New Jersey, and JaRule. We start out by covering the party we are kinda hoping happens, Fyre Festival 2. Billy McFarland is fresh out of jail and ready to con more celebrities and we couldn't be more excited. We also take a look at his 15-week online business course which is absolutely not a scam, definitely not, sign up immediately. Then it's on to the story of the century - 500 pounds of cooked pasta that mysteriously appeared in the woods of New Jersey. What the hell are you talking about? Yeah exactly, let's discuss. We quickly review this kid who got $10M in scholarships, breaking all the records, to choose to spend his college career freezing in Ithaca. Finally, we finish up with a catch-up on the murder mystery of CashApp founder, Bob Lee. Bob was caught up in a scandalous affair (or possibly very cool open relationship?) with Khazar Momeni, the sister of Nima Momeni, who's currently chilling in jail on murder charges. Talk about a soap opera plot twist! Apparently, Bob and Khazar were both part of "The Lifestyle" - an underground party scene that makes San Francisco sound pretty cool. Who knew app developers had such a penchant for late-night shenanigans? Literally everyone. Trigger warning due to the full murder we will be discussing.

First things first…everyone go wish Rory a.k.a. The Ginger King, Roaring Ror's, Young Train Conductor, one third of the Chew Live Crew, and the son of Jake, a happy May the 4th be with you/birthday. NY had a big week with the Met Gala so we took it upon ourselves to review the cat-themed fits. Somehow this turned into us reminiscing on our favorite old cartoons. We come back to current events and discuss the writer's strike, Roy Woods Jr. White House Correspondent speech and Ed Sheeran's bold move if he doesn't win. Staying on lawsuits, Frank Ocean is not happy with one fan in particular. Meanwhile, Brent Faiyaz inks a big pay day. Demaris claims Ice Spice has no talent which leads to a debate. What is an instant classic? Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, J Cole's Finsta?, Billy McFarland vs. Ja Rule boxing match, Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross, and an update on the NBA Playoffs + more!

Billy McFarland joins Jason to discuss the lessons he has learned from his Fyre Fest fraud, before discussing the festival's origin story and what led him to winding up in jail (1:36). This leads to an all-encompassing conversation about Billy's early days as an entrepreneur, his experience in prison, and if he is a changed man (13:46).

Kari, Brooke & Sarah are talking all things Fyre Festival 2.0! They break down the details of the last festival, what went wrong, Billy McFarland's latest festival announcement and if they would go if given the chance. They also discuss what they have been watching this week (yes, “Succession” is in the mix) and play a fun game of “Is This Gross Or Not?” Kari, Brooke, David, Elora, and Sarah host Fresh Living on KUTV, which airs on CBS Channel 2 every weekday at 1 pm in Utah.

This week, the idiots open with the biggest news story of all time: Fyre Fest 2.0! Billy McFarland is out of jail and is ready to organize another music festival. Or, considering the first one never happened, a music festival. Hopefully, all the same rich kids fall for the scam. Next up, a small story that wasn't on very many radars: Fox News lied about election 2020 and paid $787,500,000 to keep it out of the court system. It's both hilarious, and sad. Hilarious, because that's some serious coin. Sad, because their idiot viewers don't know it happened. Speaking of money: My Pillow Moron Mike Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could debunk his "data" proving there was election fraud in 2020. Well, a conservative Trump supporter did just that, and an arbitration ruling says he has to pony up the dough. Since Lindell isn't known to be very honorable, chances are this one is headed to court. Following that: Blackwashing Egyptian History... it's a thing! No, really, it is! We here in 'Merica like to pretend we're the center of the universe, but other countries exist, and they have national pride in their own histories, as Netflix just found out. In closing: there's too much legal weed, and legal weed growers want to start selling their product in other states that have too much legal weed (doesn't make sense to us, either), and the Bud Light controversy might be a little less cut and dry than first imagined. Enjoy! Jake can be found at @jakevevera nathan can be found at nathantimmel.com

This week, Sara and Danny kick off the show with some updates on Billy McFarland and Elizabeth Holmes. Then, they dive into the unsolved murder of Serge Rubenstein - draft dodging, café society denizen who made his millions through currency manipulation and stock fraud, and was so unlikable that even the Rabbi read him for filth at his own funeral.

We apologize in advance for Rory's behavior throughout this episode. We start by supporting the union of Nicki and Ice Spice, but also predict how long it'll last. This past Sunday, Rory, Mal, and Julian went to the Apollo to see Lil Wayne. Rather quickly we learned that Mal really isn't a Wayne fan (argument ensues). In other disappointing concert news, Frank Ocean left everyone at Coachella upset after many technical problems and turning his set into karaoke. Speaking of karaoke, is it hip-hop for Usher to give 21 Savage a mic to sing? Even worse, is it hip-hop for Rory to DM Drake laughing emojis and never get a response? Friendships tend to come to a close which is also the case for Ja Rule and Billy McFarland. Did you hear about the woman that claimed to have hooked up with 6 guys a day for a week? This leads into a conversation about the double standard between men and women and of course high school bleachers get involved. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, $200k in dimes getting stolen, Netflix's ‘Beef', Knicks/Lakers playoff wins, + more!

EPISODE #266 In today's episode, Chris is joined by Billy McFarland, the founder of the controversial Fyre Festival event.The Fyre Festival dominated headlines in April 2017 when videos surfaced online promoting the festival featuring celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and others.However, after suffering a series of management and administration problems, the festival was canceled after some guests had arrived, leading to a number of lawsuits and US federal investigations.Just six weeks later, Billy was the subject of an FBI search in his apartment and soon handcuffed and taken to jail, where he was eventually sentenced to 6 years imprisonment before being released early in 2022.Since then, Billy has started his newest venture, PYRT, which he describes as a “virtual immersive decentralized reality.”In today's episode, Billy and Chris sit down to discuss what happened at the Fyre Festival, stories from his time in prison, why things go viral, and what he's working on now.Make sure to check it out!
