Kayla Palmore with the Better Business Bureau's Tip-Off to the Rip-Off® on WBBM explains what you need to know about door-to-door scams.

This week, your favorite ex-puppeteers tackle the foam-rubber fiasco known as Mac and Me—the 1988 E.T. knockoff so brazen, it makes you wonder if anyone at the studio had actually seen E.T. (or sobriety).We dig into the wobbly alien puppetry, the animatronics that look like they were powered by a car battery on its last legs, and of course, that infamous McDonald's dance sequence that plays like a fever dream sponsored by fries. Along the way, we'll explore how this cult catastrophe came to be, how an iconic creature studio could produce such a disastrous puppet, and why Paul Rudd has spent decades keeping it alive on Conan.It's part roast, part puppet autopsy, and part ode to the kind of movie that's so bad, it somehow becomes immortal.Because sometimes puppets inspire wonder… and sometimes they inspire lawsuits.Join the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro  https://www.taetro.com/Send us a text

But just like any other artist, his wood carvings need a good origin story, so Earl creates a new identity, a made-up grandfather, and begins selling his blocks on eBay as historical relics rather than his own creations. What Earl doesn't account for is the number of times people will try to take him down, including a collector named Doug, who does his research, calls the FBI, and gets justice for the trail of deceived collectors Earl has left in his wake.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
