Show Notes

This week we discuss Billy McFarland, the millennial marketing and podcasting king who lured thousands to the Bahamas for a fake music festival. Festival goers were promised a luxurious, all inclusive, extremely exclusive music festival that would put Coachella to shame. Instead, they paid thousands of dollars for a ticket that got them stranded on an island with cheap tents, gross sandwiches, and pigs - but no music festival. Tune in to hear about big Billy's blunder that got him 6 years in prison and a 26 million dollar bill for restitution. But first, grab a beer and have a drink with us! Cheers! 

Here's what we're drinking:
