Ep. 73 • Michelle "Bombshell" McGee • Behind The Scenes of Tabloid Fame, Celebrity Chaos, & Navy SEAL Bars

Howard Stern. Navy SEALs. Mobsters. Celebrity boxing. A garbage bag full of cash. One of the biggest tabloid scandals of the 2000s. And somehow...a master's degree in engineering. This week, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee sits down with the Liberty Risk crew for one of those conversations that goes completely off the rails in the best possible way. Michelle became internationally infamous after being thrown into the middle of the Jesse James and Sandra Bullock scandal, but that's only one chapter of a life that's considerably crazier than the headlines. She takes us behind the scenes of her infamous Howard Stern appearance, partying with Charlie Sheen during the Tiger's Blood era, dating Dave Navarro, fighting Octomom and Amy Fisher in celebrity boxing, and getting flown to a mob-connected Long Island strip club where she walked out carrying a garbage bag full of cash. And that's before we get to the really weird 💩. Michelle spent years in San Diego's strip club scene while raising a son and eventually doing engineering homework between shifts. Today she has a master's in controls engineering, works in renewable energy, and still occasionally bartends at Danny's - the legendary Coronado watering hole that's been part of Navy SEAL culture for decades. That opens another rabbit hole entirely: fallen SEALs, the mysterious caller who's been haunting Danny's phone line for decades, old-school bar culture around the world, deployment strip clubs, Hollywood stunt work, Tom Cruise, Sturgis, psychedelics, bizarre fetishes, ghosts, and enough old San Diego lore to fill another episode. It's tastefully raunchy, nostalgic, occasionally serious, and completely unfiltered. Michelle McGee has lived about six different lives. We somehow tried to fit them into one episode.
