Hello and welcome to the underbelly podcast. Come along and explore the vulnerable underside to story and learn that, in the real world, there are no heroes -- there are no bad guys -- it’s complicated. I’m Wendy, and I have been paid to tell people’s stories for decades. Along the way, what I have learned is that stories are powerful -- they can heal, but they can also kill. When they are used well, they’re medicine. In the wrong hands, they’re dangerous poison. Over the next episodes, we’re going to vivisect stories -- learn that the heroes aren’t heroic, the villains are pure evil. We’re going to ask who wrote the story -- who benefited from the story...and who is missing from the story. We’re going to learn to be wary of one dimensional stories -- to be aware of the single story. We are going to get suspicious of stories -- be afraid of them Good stories are simple. They have a strong narrative. You take your hero, throw them into a situation that they resist. Your hero decided to take on the bad guy but needs to learn something first. They meet a guide who teaches them, shows them what they need to learn. The hero trains, fights, loses, gets back up, fights again, gets lost, keeps going. The bad guy’s there, confronting the hero, manipulating the hero, fighting the hero. It’s dicey, but the hero wins. At this point, they might enter a cave, assimilate all they’ve learned, then journey back — renewed, stronger, better than ever. The thing is, stories work. They make us do things we wouldn’t otherwise do. They’re the backbone of propaganda and public relations. When you need an entire population to do something they wouldn’t normally do...use story -- it’ll work. When something uncomfortable and complicated happens...tell a simple story and watch your troubles disappear. It doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, rich or poor -- it doesn’t matter which country you’re from. We all use, abuse, and are used and abused by story. We needed women to en masse leave their homes and work in factories: Enter Rosie the Riveter. We needed women to en masse leave their jobs and go back home: Enter June Cleaver -- never mind that the actress who played June Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver was in fact a single working mother. We needed more revenue before the Christmas rush? Enter Black Friday...and then Cyber Monday..and whatever Tuesday...etc. Heck, Iceland needed to recover from the 2008 recession so they started telling stories about Iceland and -- coupled with great airfares from Wow Airlines -- a thriving tourism industry was born. Story has helped keep people enslaved, helped ensure we grew Victory gardens, vilify Hitler, and buy, buy, buy. Stories keep us separated and they bring us together. When we tell stories, we own that version of truth. We have a great responsibility to tell our story well. When we take in a story, we need to do so with eyes wide open, aware that we are being entertained. Hopefully able to listen and retell the same story from another point of view. Hopefully with full knowledge that the storyteller has an agenda and we’re okay with it. More Iceland tourism? Hell yes. Buying into a 24/7 consumer culture -- maybe not.

This week only 2 out of the 3 guys are back, as Brett is taking a little bit of a sabbatical, so Dan and Brian take the helm and talk MLB Opening Day, Apple's recent product event and the upcoming releases, an update on Jussie Smollett's case and Cardi B's hustle history, WOW Airlines implosion, how HBO is playing Willy Wonka with hidden Iron Thrones, and they announce who is moving on in this year's Bracket Madness for the Best Horror Movie of All Time!
Welp, looks like everyone is making money moves (except WOW Airlines). Cardi is apparently had an alleged past life of drugging and robbing men, the City of Chicago wants Jussie to pay his tab, the Kardashians are Kardashian-ing and there is apparently NO statue of limitations on child support.

The Big Bang Theory makes history this week for becoming the longest running multi-cam sitcom, Nicholas Cage gets divorced AGAIN and Jen takes us through a very interesting discussion of the insane amount of food that World Strongest Man Brian Shaw eats every day. We have the latest update on the out of nowhere shutdown of Wow Airlines that has stranded thousands of travelers and a new study - the dustier your house, the more likely you are to be obese. Crazy!

Topics Renee talks about reconnecting for 2016, getting the #travelsquad together, and travel options for her B-day extravaganza which consist of going to Panama, Amsterdam or Dublin! We give a shout out to low cost carrier Wow Airlines, an Icelandic airline that offers discount flights in Boston, Washington, DC and Los Angeles. Kim shares her fantasy of becoming a Las Vegas BOSS, stacking up chips at the poker table in a sparkly dress, while Ron The Henchman carries her chips...BTW there really is no Ron, she totally made him up! We both agree that we heart NYC. Kim dreams of a trip to Cuba or possibly cruising around the world for 72 nights on Aurora of P&O cruises. Let’s see how that works with her three weeks of vacation! We chat about our favorite cruise lines and throw shade to the one that we are not fans of. Travel Tips We suggest planning trips in advance to take advantage of down payments by using sites such as Delta Vacations. We also suggest opting to pay for travel insurance and have a safety credit card for incidentals. Booking.com and Hopper.com are a few of Renee's suggested websites to track hotel prices and to plan for future flights. Kim prefers to keep it old school by printing out travel docs and booking directly through hotel and airline websites . . she's just a little weird like that. . .
