I’ve listened to this episode over and over. It’s my favorite, probably because I actually saw this one play out. I used to watch Sylvia on Montel when I was a kid. I thought she was the real deal 😭
Can we just say that the 911 operator that handled the Amanda Barry call was awful!
Great episode! My in-laws did get at least one unsolicited call from "Miss Cleo", we joked that if she really was psychic, she'd have known not to bother.
Just the right percentage of shade at the end of the ep 🙊😂
The Miss Cleo bit brought me back to those late nights where she'd pop up on her infomercials. Than years later saw her in the evening news on that very lawsuit. Never knew it was a company using her image that drove those crazy bills customers complained about.
Excellent one!! I grew up in San Jose I met her in a store once when I was little. So crazy
Really liking the cover art on this one!
Omg christmas early!! Thank you
I smashed that download button so fast.
