0:00.0	You guys, welcome to episode 92 of the Smushroom.
0:08.4	The podcast of Deep Dive is in the well-known and more importantly not so well-known
0:11.2	hookups of your favorite reality TV stars. It's me
0:14.6	Troy McKee. How's it going? First of all, good to see you. You look good.
0:20.0	Snatched as always. Let me just start by saying that I am a little bit scatterbrained right now because I was just doing, I was kind of doing research for two episodes at once.
0:36.0	Obviously the one that we're going to be talking about today.
0:38.0	And then I also am recording a bonus episode about everything involving Free Brittany. I'm so beyond overwhelmed by it and it's
0:47.4	been developing so consecutively for the past couple of weeks that I didn't know when the

1:32.1	navigate where I wanted to go next and I really, really enjoyed that Tiger Woods scandal. I love the scandal of it all. I love a cheating scandal. They're actually my favorite episode to this podcast.
1:45.0	And I wanted to kind of dip my toe into something similar
1:49.0	and try and find a relationship that had a similar sort of insane unraveling in the media.
1:56.7	And I stumbled upon a little cheating scandal in the 90s in 1995 to be exact involving Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley. You may have heard of it.
2:09.0	Hugh Grant was arrested for getting a blow job in a parking lot from a prostitute and it was a
2:18.4	groundbreaking news story. It really really had a major effect on the news cycle for the next you know 10 years and is one of the most definitive things to come out of the 90s
2:29.4	This is something that took place a year after Heidi Fleis' Little Black Book was released
