What do you think? Send me a text 📱 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2372735/fan_mail/new] This week, Connie and I deep-dive the controversial life (and loves) of Robert Kardashian - the patriarch of today's Kardashian clan.  Think you know who Robert Kardashian was? Think again.  From strange ties in the music industry, to a controversial relationship with a seventeen-year-old child, Robert Kardashian was a man of contradictions. And a man who drove around in a Rolls-Royce with a Jesus fish in the window.  This is the (true) story of Robert Kardashian.  Selected Source: * Carson, M. (2024, October 10).

The Kardashians (Part I): Holy (Bank)Rollers

What do you think? Send me a text 📱 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2372735/fan_mail/new] Who are the Kardashians behind the BBLs and the filtered social media posts? And why are they so damn famous? It's a question that's tortured a generation, and now it's time to answer it... Because the truth is that the Kardashian story is much longer and darker than we've been led to believe.  While Kris and Kim sell stories of a hard-working immigrant, scratch the surface on the real Kardashian origin story, and you find a strange tale of child prophets, evangelical extremism, and a world of controversy-linked preachers.  This is the story of the Kardashian family. The real story of the Kardashian family, and their decades long-ties to some of the most dangerous and subversive holy rollers in modern American history.  Selected Sources for This Episode: * William Branham Historical Research.

The Dark Side of Katy Perry (Part 2): No Smoke Without Fire

What do you think? Send me a text 📱 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2372735/fan_mail/new] In the final installment of my Katy Perry deep dive, I'm taking you into the heart of some of Katy's closest personal and professional relationships. We're going through Katy's Super-MAGA parents, and right through her questionable relationship with alleged rapist, Russell Brand. Then, it's on to Dr Luke and Katy's ties to the scandal-embroiled Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the ever-problematic Blue Origin.  Why did Katy Perry call herself a feminist when she was working for a company accused of sexual harassment and discrimination against women?  How does she call herself modern when she's helping to line the pockets of the California GOP (and by that relation, Donald Trump)?  We're talking all of this and more in the conclusion of The Dark Side of Katy Perry PT 2.  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/nuska] Love this episode?

The Dark Side of Katy Perry (Part 1): A Problematic Pattern

What do you think? Send me a text 📱 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2372735/fan_mail/new] From Dark Horse to just dark, there is a pattern that has followed Katy Perry through the decades.  This week, I'll be leading you on Part 1 of my journey into one of the darkest pop princesses in the industry. Katy Perry has been a divisive figure, ever since she stepped onto the scene with "I Kissed a Girl," but this bubble gum diva's sparkly pop persona has been hiding a much darker reality.  I'm taking you through the timeline, from groping Justin Bieber, to alleged assaults against actors and models, and the death of a nun -- this is the history Katy Perry doesn't want you to see. And it's only the start... Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/nuska] Love this episode?
