Special Edition: Fyre Festival

07/20/22 • 91 min

We talked about in Episode 0 and the time is now...to manifest...to find your power...be immersed...just kidding...you are just going to laugh and learn about our favorite con:
FYRE FESTIVAL!
It's a Fy-re! This is the true crime con that brought Heather and Vanessa together. The glue that bonded them. The F-Y-R-E that lit the conversations between the co-hosts that led to the birth of this podcast. The absolute baffling story of a con man who ran ponzi schemes, financial fraud, and lured influencers to an "island" to take their money. And somehow, Ja Rule is involved. It has it all, "the snowball that collected all the other cons ever done along the way that turned into Fyre Festival". Come join us as we start in the early days of the creator, Billy McFarland, to his incarceration.
We discuss the marketing, the money, and the psychology behind the con. It's a do not miss episode!

Previous Episode

What Are Stories From Your Childhood?

It's another question from "Deep Talk: A year’s worth of daily questions generated by a machine" by John Bohannon, Director of Science, Primer.ai (We changed it a little bit from the original question...)

"These 365 questions were generated using GPT-J-6B, an autoregressive language model trained on 800 GB of internet text. The prompts used for the generation were randomly shuffled samples of human-written questions." -https://primer.ai/deep-talk-questions/

What Are Stories From Your Childhood?

Who doesn't want to hear about little Heather and Vanessa? (Since Vanessa was a boring and serious child, she threw some stories about her lovely mother) It's a little chat about the good old days long ago in the 70s and 80s (with a little dip into the 40s). Lots of laughs, ridiculous antics, and nothing but feel good emotions about that crazy time of learning life. Find a cool drink and relax as we tell some tales of way back when.

Our Favorite Thing:

Vanessa recommends one of her favorite podcasts (join their Patreon!) about true crime...True Crime Obsessed! It is a comedic take on true crime shows, series, and documentaries. Gillian and Patrick are loud and hilarious. Check them out.

Next Episode

Dawson's Creek Special Eps 6 to 9

This is another special edition episode about something Heather and Vanessa have A LOT to say about...it's the third installment of Dawson's Creek Season 1! Do not worry, this will not become a recap podcast, but there will be episodes here and there covering a chunk of episodes until we finish the series.
Even if you have never seen Dawson's Creek, the ladies get into it all. The clothes, the music (the famous intro song), the little foreshadowing moments, the dialogue, and a theory about how the show is written. Is this really about Dawson? Settle in for a witty discussion about an iconic show and some surprises along the way.
Our Favorite Thing:
From Heather and Vanessa, watch Dawson's Creek episodes 10 to 12 to prepare for the final special episode of Season 1!.
Subscribe so you don't miss an episode and share with everyone you know!
