Ep. 249: 'The Fyre Festival Fiasco' w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen

Thursday, January 31, 2019   Did you feel bad for the people who got conned into attending the #DumpsterFyre that was Fyre Festival? Billed as the cultural experience of the decade, millennials believed they were heading to a private island with beautiful models, luxury accommodations, yachts, music & gourmet food. Instead, they were welcomed by yellow school buses, FEMA tents, cheese sandwiches & arguably the biggest douche in the universe, Billy McFarland. On this episode, we're breaking down the competing documentaries from Hulu & Netflix while also chatting about the GoFundMe to support Maryann Rolle (which has raised over $200K), Evian's new spokesman, how to portray a fantasy lifestyle on Instagram, where the blame should be placed, whether Ja Rule cut a deal (wasn't it his vision?!), what we would have done if we found ourselves pulling up to #FyreFestival & much more! #V1 #FyreFraud   Support the podcast & check out our new website @ www.eandgpodcast.com   Our show is made possible because of our listeners & by far, the best way to support us (no matter how much you give) is by setting up a monthly donation through PayPal.
