This is a casual episode, we're wearing sweatshirts and talking about getting older. It's like a millennial The View. We talk about the influencer who got roasted for banditing a half marathon. A cat that took an unplanned trip courtesy of Jeff Bezos. The tourism fees in Venice or "Italy's Disneyland" and the deal at Red Lobster that's cost them millions. It's a hot one!

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 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! Follow us @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert and write us a kind review for a good old fashioned in the mail gift! https://forms.gle/gRZ1j9vEwoGYhWQR9
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 (?!).

We talk about the extremely dramatic way Rihanna took most of their shareholder money and review the top 5 moments that Victoria's Secret got called out for cultural appropriation. It's a supermodel hot one! Thanks for listening! Follow us @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert @shannonfiedler13
This week we're talking about the hottest reservation in the country, Mehran's Steakhouse. The upper-east side hacker house that was able to fake out NYC residents into thinking it was a world class steakhouse. Complete with Drake fans, Marilyn Monroe portraits, and a fake proposal. The girls also revisit the horrible story of the murdered Baltimore CEO (RIP) and the new "Far-Right" beer that is absolutley laundering money for politicians (for legal purposes this is satire). We also talk about the extreme referral codes for max gains that are getting TikTok and it's stars into some potential legal hot water. Follow us @risquebusinessnews @laurasogar @mae_planert
Very risque indeed! This week's episode is NSFW so get your kids out of the house (no seriously) and grab your ball gags! This week on the pod the girls recap Mae's wild times in Europe. From early morning river swims in Oslo to taping up her tits at a sex club in Berlin, it was a memorable trip! Get ready for that to be her entire personality from now on. Like Burning Man, only somehow even more pretentious. The gals also discuss the missing 100 million dollar fighter jet, Lauren Boebert getting kinky at the classic spank bank show, Beetlejuice. And the Senate's new casual Friday dress code. Follow us @risquebusinessnews @mae_planert @laura sogar Like and subscribe! Thanks for listening
Weirdest news stories on the internet: you can't make this up. Mae scrounges up some of the most bizarre news stories you've ever heard. Every headline sounds like a mad lib. A woman wakes up at her own dang funeral - nightmare! A group of hungry teens murder a beloved swan, a fertility dr with a god complex crashes a Wright Brothers-style plane, a government official really needs to keep his D*ck pics a secret at the expense of an entire reservoir of water, and is anyone missing their backhoe? Turns out they can't be used as Ubers. Oh! And Mae recounts her time in Australia. Have a g'day mate and thanks for listening! Follow us @RisqueBusinessNews @mae_planert @laurasogar
Kicking off the show, we've got an Aussie survivor story that's straight out of a college frat house. A Melbourne woman lost in the bush, survived 5 days solely on wine. Sounds like senior year! Then we talk about the heartthrob of America, the one and only Jeff Bezos. He proposed to Lauren Sanchez making her have the highest ROI boob job in the biz! Moving on, we've got a professor who has taken the term "office hours" to a whole new level. This genius decided to live underwater, breaking the record for the longest time spent submerged. So, if you're looking to sleep with your professor, you better get your scuba gear ready. And last but not least, let's catch up with the rapper Fetty Wap, who's wapping his way straight to jail. Turns out, his investment prowess (flipped 1.3M to 20M in one year with the stock market- take that Pelosi!) was actually fueled by something a little less legal. Yep, you guessed it—selling fentanyl to his local community! Follow us @risquebusinessnews @mae_planert @laurasogar

Andy Cohen!! Or as we call him, the "Vince McMahon of Reality TV." The girls explore his illustrious career as the king of reality tv, delve into his (surprisingly private) love life, and review some of his iconic drunken NYE rants. We also meet the most sadistic momtrepreneur out there, Kouri Richins.

This week on the pod we talk about the #1 Great American Pastime - taking people to court! We recap the most ridiculous lawsuits in the United States.

We also cover the most chaotic April Fools pranks of 2023 (weirdly the Royal Albert Hall won this one and it involved Hitler?), how Andrew Tate is psyop ChatGPT and Gwyneth Paltrow's iconic ski court victory. Follow us @RisqueBusinessNews @mae_planert @laurasogar
The clock is ticking for TikTok as a United States ban is considered.

We go through an article from Curbed that talks about the impact of RealPage, a Texas software company that provides rent information to landlords and has singlehandedly raised rent prices around the country. (!!!) We also talk about a *cool* new kissing gadget going viral in China and a brand new way for companies to stalk you with the internet (this time IRL!).

It's the NFL for wrestling and theater fans! We're talking about the recently rebooted XFL and the many controversies that brought it down the first time.

Mae then tells the story of the first woman who tried to break up her marriage with Mark (an 80-year-old South African woman on their honeymoon). The ladies also go through a list of the wildest corporate expenses from strip clubs to private yachts - moral of the story - don't be afraid to expense that Uber. We're all going to die one day.

Not fair game: Mae and Laura discuss the horrors of the trophy-killing industry. The ladies do a quick roundup of Mae's honeymoon in South Africa, a wild tour guide in Cape Town that could not take a hint, and adventures on safari. Spoiler alert, Mae couldn't make it out of safari without getting into a catfight. The ladies discuss the ethical dilemmas facing big game hunting across Africa, poaching, and of course Cecil the lion, RIP. Turns out we all should be scared of the dentist. We also talk about the police officer who became internet famous for wild romps with most of the squad and have a pretty in-depth discussion on sex shows.

It's January and we already have some strong contenders for scammers of the year! Our main story is the startup Frank, which was called "the Amazon for college admissions". Frank's application for top scammer was strong when CEO Charlie Javice completely fabricated 4 MILLION accounts in order to secure the bag (a $175M JPMC acquisition). We also talk Mae's honeymoon which oddly included time in the red light district of Amsterdam (sorry if you're Dutch - the reviews aren't great). Of course, we can't lose an opportunity to talk about the fairytale resume of George Santos. The guy whose balls can be seen from space. Enjoy!

From fruitcake friends to fruitcake foes: in the holiday spirit Mae and Laura spill the tea on inedible pastry cakes this week as they discuss the fruitcake fraud case of the iconic Collin Street Bakery.

We're back after our short break to get Mae married (finally!) and we've got a hot one. We're talking Sam Bankman Fried (aka SBF) and his polycule of Effective Altruist friends at FTX and Alameda Research that just went bankrupt, stole a ton of money and may be crashing crypto. If you haven't heard about this story then listen now to understand the darker-than-usual depression from your crypto-enthusiast millenial nephew Thanksgiving. We review a deep dive on SBF the person, how this may have been why Tom Brady and Gisele got divorced, Caroline Ellison and her really cursed Tumblr account, some finance stuff that tbh is a bit over our heads, why the guy who shut down Enron has been called in, and of course, continued discussion of Mae and Mark's wedding. Oh and we discuss Qatar and the World Cup - yay sports! We are also playing with having a full version (with more wedding content and a few other news stories) on our Patreon.
