Summary
We discuss the famous Texas cheerleader mom murder-for-hire story from the 90s, and the new documentary that explains why the media got it all wrong and there was a lot more to the story that the public never knew. We talk about the Jerry Springer documentary and how the show with all its wacky guests and wild antics had real life consequences for some of the people who were on the show and the ways the ratings race led the producers to inadvertently hurt some of the guests. Susie talks about a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art who is also a sculptor and was discovered by a curator who made his lifelong dream come true, and she explains the traits the security guard had that turned his "lucky" moment into a life-changing opportunity. We learn about a man who has been creating a gum wrapper chain since 1965, and why he is the exception to Susie's World Record-holder hatred. Plus, an organization tested filet-o-fish boxes at McDonald's and discovered why they are a health hazard, but Susie can't get past the group's hilarious name.
