    Unpacking the Diddy Scandals: Freak Off Tapes, Lil Rod Lawsuit, Cassie, JLo and Homeland Security

    Unpacking the Diddy Scandals: Freak Off Tapes, Lil Rod Lawsuit, Cassie, JLo and Homeland Security

    Diddy do it? This week we are talking Sean Puff Daddy Diddy Love Combs. A man of many names and many crimes (allegedly!).  In our last episode we went over his rise to fame and the scandals that got him there. This episode... we're discussing some VERY unsavory content.
    MASSIVE trigger warning this has pretty much every trigger imaginable if you're with kids just like/subscribe/comment and move along. 
    We unpack the jaw dropping Cassie domestic abuse lawsuit that introduced the world to Diddy's freak-off party preferences. We then go over Lil Rod's lawsuit where Diddy is outed?! Along with a number of other famous rappers (Philly rapper who dated Nicki Minaj aka Meek Mill). Diddy somehow made Weinstein's casting couch look like a Christian dating show!
    We also go over the tragic story of Kim Porter who had Diddy's babies, endured many cheating scandals and stood by his side to STILL not get a wedding ring (and the internet thinks was murdered by Diddy, equally tragic...). This is one of the craziest stories we've ever covered on this podcast! Trigger Warning!!

    What Happened to Kyle Marisa Roth? Rat Birth Control and the Hot Dog Vendor's Stolen Identity

    We are BACK and it's a big week - Mae’s special has been taped!
    The ladies go over how hard Mae crushed, the aftermath *flees to Puerto Rico*, and more!
    We also go over Caitlin Clark's insultingly low salary, Rat birth control helping NYC rats move away from abstinence-only education, the mysterious deaths of TikTokers (and JLo's involvement?).
    We finish up with a wild story of a hot dog vendor whose identity was stolen to launch a successful family and career.

    The Fall of Sean "Diddy" Combs - Scandals from his Past

    The Fall of Sean "Diddy" Combs - Scandals from his Past

    Diddy did it? This week we are talking about the now infamous Sean Combs and the Epstein-like drama that has built after a CONCERNING amount of allegations have come out against the media mogul. 
    In Part 1 of 2 we are talking about how Diddy got to where he is today. We review his early days at Uptown Records, the creation of Bad Boy entertainment, and of course his time on Making the Band (miss you Danity Kane). But the real star of this episode is Diddy's time as a true bad boy with multiple arrests, assaults, and a pep rally gone VERY wrong. This is all child's play compared to the more recent allegations that have come up so be sure to subscribe for part 2 where we will go over his time with Cassie, the laundry list of accusers and how other celebrities may be tied in. It's like Epstein's island but with attractive people!

    We start off with a controversial new Online Harms Act in Canada that may impact free speech on the internet. Spicy! We then talk about the best employer out there, BooYung group whose billionaire founder is giving employees a big bonus if they get a baby bump.
    We also go over some drama with Kanye West (as usual), the absolute GOAT Caitlin Clark and an unusual request from the Lego Company.

    Yoozoo Exec Poisons Founder, Hubbard Inn sues TikTok influencer, Russia Catches Crocus Attacker

    Yoozoo Exec Poisons Founder, Hubbard Inn sues TikTok influencer, Russia Catches Crocus Attacker

    The ladies have possibly their darkest episode to date! No kids for this one you guys (but seriously… trigger warning for cannibalism?!)
    We start off light with a story that will have you breaking your ankle running to the comments? The yogi burglar that got their vinyasa on before robbing a bakery for some hot cross buns.
    The ladies then cover the Russian concert hall attack and Russia’s next-level response to the terr*rists. 
    We turn it up with the Yoozoo games executive (Game of Thrones and Three-Body Problem games) and their internal office politics that turned deadly around the water cooler.
    The ladies finish it up with a story where no one dies (yay!) but there is a big lawsuit at the Hubbard Inn where a TikTok girlie puts the restaurant on blast, just to have not friendly fire returned.

Comic Cadence: A Quirky Exploration of Risqué Business by Two Broads

In the realm of comedic expression, these two stand-up virtuosos curate a distinct brand of amusement through their podcast, delving into the nuanced landscape of risqué subject matter. The evident synergy in their dynamic presents an intricate interplay of wit. However, discerning audiences may discern a certain subtlety in the humor that, while present, may not resonate universally. It beckons contemplation whether the depth of their jests might transcend the immediate, leaving some listeners in pursuit of a more resonant comedic resonance.
