Big Business

from You Can't Make It Up

This week...Navigating the world of college sports recruiting and AAU basketball. Imagine the baseball stadium of a World Series winning team, turned into a teenage basketball frenzy, complete with coaches, recruiters and price tags that'll make your jaw drop! Chrissy breaks down the "you can't make this up" moments of this high-stakes, big-money game. Then, prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little tempted!) by the explosion of Chinese manufacturers selling suspiciously cheap "luxury" goods directly to American shoppers on social media. Who is indulging? You'll have to listen to find out in this laugh-out-loud look at the wild world of online shopping.
