    Back to the Failure: The DeLorean with Betsy Sodaro and Arjun Banerjee | 62
    Nov 18 2024

    After basically creating the "muscle car," rebel auto-maker John Delorean became GM’s golden boy, only to leave it all behind for a risky venture in troubled Northern Ireland. But when his gull-winged wonder flopped, DeLorean's desperate moves led to unethical dealings, courtroom drama, and cocaine stings. The infamous car king was all but forgotten until his car made an unexpected cameo in a film that cemented its legacy forever.


    Betsy Sodaro (Superstore, A Funny Feeling) and Arjun Banerjee join Misha to take a joyride along the twisty path of John Delorean's ruin. ALT: to figure out what's under the hood of John Delorean's flop.

    Britney Spears, Guy Fieri, and Eva Longoria's Food Fails with Cody Rigsby and Amanda Hirsch | 61
    Nov 11 2024

    The restaurant business is tough: The margins are slim and the risk of failure is high—but that doesn’t stop celebrities from trying to open their own restaurants over and over again, even though they should definitely know it is a bad idea. Britney Spears had Nyla, Guy Fieri had Guy's American Kitchen & Bar, Eva Longoria had a steakhouse for women called SHe (that is not a typo), and they each went bust in their own special way.
