Scandal Sheet

BONUS - Spring Suicide Squad 2023

Our recent ‘Return of the Suicide Squad’ episode this year was SO popular we decided to share last year’s episode. It seems people can’t get enough of amateur, mountaineer millionaires risking their lives. HILARIOUS cold open.

Each year, thousands of men and women from around the globe flock to the Himalaya and the Karakoram in order to climb the world’s tallest mountains. Despite being aware of a fatality rate as high as 29% (depending on the mountain), amateur climbers are willing to hand over $65K-$150K to “professional” guiding services to hopefully get them to the summit and back in one piece. While storms and avalanches at these elevations cannot be controlled, overcrowding can. Human traffic jams leading to the summits of these mountains are directly responsible, or complicit, in causing high rates of death and injury. In, 2023, more people have purchased permits to climb these 14 mountains than in any other year in history…

Return of the Suicide Squad - The Complete Episode

We bring you the exciting conclusion to the ‘cold open’ of Part 1. Which members of the Mets Mob will die on the unforgiving slopes of Mount Everest? Will Rob order extra whipped cream on his caramel Macchiato on the summit? Will Leonardo and Bernice finally hook up?....So much drama to for our passionate fans to immerse themselves in!

Last Spring we did an episode on the scandal of wealthy, amateur climbers that would pay up to $120,000 for professional guides to lead them to top of the highest mountain summits on Earth, like Everest or K-2. This year, regular guests on this pod, the Mets Mob, have decided to forgo their annual, warm Caribbean vacations -- and instead take their Spring Break on the frigid, unforgiving slopes of the highest and most dangerous mountain in the world – MOUNT EVEREST.

What could possibly go wrong…?

Peanuts and Cracker Jack

Ball park treats for all our listeners. In our continuing celebration of BASEBALL, we are sharing a selection of amazing comedy cold opens on the game that span 2019-2022. These years are critical in baseball history, as they involve the clever Astros hi tech, sign-stealing scandal; the COVID related shutdowns of the game; and the 2022 MLB Players worker’s strike. These listener favorites feature great  performances by the famous ‘Mets Mob’, my co-founding co-host, Kassia, and – of course – our feisty artificial intelligence engine, Bernice. YOU’LL LOVE THESE HILARIOUS CLIPS!

If you haven’t listened to our previous episode with the Mets Mob, forecasting the 2024 season, please scroll down on your phone and enjoy. Both hardened baseball fans and others will be very entertained by their informative and humorous banter.

The comedy clips in this episode include:

• Who Is It? - The Astros attempt to throw the 2019 World Series in their favor using high tech sign stealing technology… but the Astros owner is, ah… kinda out of it.
• Answering Machine – COVID Anxiety Help Line - What you would get if you called MLB during COVID in 2020?.
• Mission Impossible - Co-host Kassia and her cat are tasked by a top secret government agency to resolve conflicts between MLB owners and players.
• Opening Day – Kassia and Bernice are in charge of the media booth…but they have no idea of what they are doing.
• Love, Death, And Baseball - Our “Twin Peaks” homage! Finally, Leonardo gets to hook up with his long lost love Bernice, our artificial intelligence engine.
• We Kidnapped The Baseball Commissioner! – The Met’s Mob, in an effort to resolve the 2022 strike – kidnap the MLB Baseball Commissioner – hoping to get him to agree to reasonable terms with the players and re-start baseball. For some reason – James Bond intervenes. (Our James Bond is ‘Handsome Rob from Manhattan’. We on the pod believe Handsome Rob is a better Bond than either Danial Craig, Sean Connery, or Pierce Bronson in the role, but we invite listeners to express their own opinions and thoughts.

Julia Child – James Bond In An Apron

In honor of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating Julia Child. In the early 1960’s, Ms. Child, on the main stream media front, almost single-handedly, totally blew up every preconception of the role of women in American society (at least middle class women…) by writing a best-selling cooking book and making an extremely popular TV cooking show – eventually distributed to over 50 countries across the globe. BUT, before she was a celebrated chef, author, television celebrity, and women’s advocate – she served as a successful spy for the US during WW2.

Do I have your attention now?

Anuradha has a food page on Instagram https://bit.ly/3IE3nZp. You'll gain pounds just looking at the delicious pictures!

Love American Style

Replay from 2022. Our Valentine’s Day gift to our listeners. Ellie, Bernice and Thad attempt to peek under the skirt of America’s most shameful, chronic behavior issue. How did a society founded by religious puritans 400 years ago become so – yuck - pervy?! Is every allegation automatically justified? How do we purge our wicked behavior and thoughts? Can we be redeemed or forgiven? Can we even have an intelligent conversation on this topic -- without erupting into angry shouting? That’s what we hope to find out.

Sympathy For The Devil? – Our Assassination Special, Part 1

We mournfully acknowledge the assassinations/birthdays of 3 leaders of international fame, in January and February. They are Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. But this episode is not about these great men – IT’S ABOUT THEIR KILLERS. Why did they do it? What made them tick? Why does our human society allow this? Part 1 focuses on John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator of President Abraham Lincoln. We are joined by ALEXANDER NISBET, a 26 year veteran of the U.S. Department of Defense, who also served 2 tours in the second Iraq War as an investigator. University trained in the art of film/video, Alec has also produced historical documentaries. One of his specialties is the American Civil War. He will open your eyes on the Lincoln assassination!

Parental Advisory: This podcast contains a 1:00 minute dramatic recreation of President Lincoln’s murder. This is likely unsuitable for young children.

“The Exorcist” Turns 50 – A True Story?

This best-selling book and record-breaking box office movie re-defined the horror genre. But where did the core story come from? It’s actually based on a supposedly legitimate case of possession attested to in writing by over 50 witnesses. A Catholic Archbishop granted a rare approval of the ritual’s use. As it occurred in the area, “The Washington Post” published a front page, above-the-fold article, on the exorcism back in 1949, weeks after it occurred. Then a student at Georgetown University, future book author/screenwriter/film producer - William Peter Blatty - read the article and was inspired to pen what has become a $$ multi-billion dollar franchise. We re-open the original 1949 case to examine if it has merit, if demonic possession is genuinely possible, or just a manifestation of mental illness.
