Summary

In this episode of Serial Streamers, Jami walks listeners through the infamous, ill-fated FYRE Festival which was highlighted in the Netflix documentary titled Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. The documentary chronicles Scammy McScammerson Billy McFarland, a wannabe tech bro, and his co-founder rapper Ja Rule’s half-a** attempt to throw an exclusive music festival in the Bahamas to promote their joint-venture FYRE app. Organizers of the festival would soon learn that the island on which the event was to occur had NO infrastructure and couldn’t handle thousands of festival attendees. From janky hurricane tents being sold to attendees as “luxury tents,” to sad and soggy cheese sandwiches being served as a proper meal …the FYRE Festival was doomed from the start. Join Jami on this wild ride of an episode as the jokes just write themselves. Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir …and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club! Twice per month, Jami opens up the Serial Streamers club chat on Instagram so members can weigh in on the TV series we’re watching together.

0:00.0	Hey, serial streamers. Welcome back to another episode of serial streamers. And if you don't
0:07.3	know what serial streamers is, it is a true crime TV club, kind of like a book club, only way
0:13.6	better. And it's for people who are out there binging all the true crime documentaries. I know
0:18.6	I am. I'm sure there are a lot of you out there who are doing the same thing. So that's kind of
0:23.3	where I got the idea. I'm like, hmm, we're all watching these documentaries, maybe not at the
0:27.9	exact same time, but we're watching them. But there's really like no place to gather for
0:32.0	us all to go and then like talk about what we watched. So that is what serial streamers is.
0:36.6	It's a true crime TV club. And if you want to join, it's super easy. All you have to do is follow
0:41.3	me on Instagram at Jamie on air. That's J-A-M-I on air. And every time I cover a documentary,
0:49.2	I do it. I do a YouTube video so you can go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want
0:53.6	a video version. I also drop an episode on the Murderer's podcast feed every couple of weeks.
0:59.5	And those are serial streamers episodes. So there's a number of ways that you can get this content.
1:04.4	If you're a YouTuber, get on YouTube. If you're a podcaster, subscribe to Murderer's and you'll
1:08.4	get it there. All right. So the good news is I have no disclaimers, no trigger warnings this week
1:14.0	because the documentary that I'm covering is so good. There, there, nobody got murdered. Nobody
1:20.5	got assaulted. Like it literally is just light and fluffy. And it's just the jokes. Just write
1:25.2	themselves with this one. All right. So the documentary that we are going to be covering on this one
1:43.1	is called Fire the Greatest Party that never happened. And that's on Netflix. It came out in 2019
1:50.4	and for those of you who don't know, it covers the now infamous ill-fated music festival,
1:58.1	the fire festival. So I cannot wait to talk about this documentary. I actually watched this
2:04.0	quite a while ago when it first came out. So I hadn't watched it in a while and I was kind of
2:08.8	chomping at the bit to watch it again. So I did and now we're going to cover it because I just
