Sounds like MLM but ok

Oh, Hello! I Didn't See You There!

We're baaaack, revisiting and updating you on Volo, the spiritual MLM that happened to be our first episode in 2018. What happened to it? Did they really change the lives of one billion people through yoga videos and encouraging people to throw out their antidepressants? Katie Young and Sasha Zazzi gain insight into the most spiritual of Kirby Vacuum Cleaner salesmen, and Jack of All Fails, founder Sean Spencer.

Sex, Lies, and MLM

Please visit our website at slmlmbutok.com! SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE Sasha Zazzi and Katie Young have put together a HUGE episode compiling all lawsuits currently against Lularoe with Becca Peter. Then we get into the nitty gritty of the complaint filed by the Washington Attorney General alleging Lularoe is... a pyramid scheme?! (Well, we'll be damned!) We finish off the episode with Sasha and Lularoe Defective Admin Heather Blithely critically analyzing Lularoe founder Deanne Stidham's tacky and poorly timed "masquerade" ball for her 60th birthday - the day after the pyramid scheme law suit was filed. This episode goes above and beyond explaining the hot water LLR is in. We've spent hours consulting people, reading articles, recording, and editing.  Make sure you listen to the episode ALL THE WAY to the end! Sasha made the outro music particularly relevant. HUGE THANK YOU to BECCA PETER and HEATHER BLITHELY for their research and opinions. Please join the new defective Facebook group, Defective Detectives 2.0 - the admins there do great work and they are always the first to break LLR news Check out our episodes last year: The Rise and Fall of Lularoe Part 1 with Roberta Blevins and Part 2 With Courtney Harwood Business Insider: Washington Attorney General accuses LuLaRoe of operating an illegal 'pyramid scheme' in new lawsuit Business Insider: LuLaRoe's founder celebrated her birthday with a lavish masquerade party complete with acrobatic dancers and cardboard caricatures of her face while the company faces multiple lawsuits Shut the Fuck Up Friday HUGE SHOUT OUT TO SARA RISSI! Thank you for being a true peach of a fan by donating to our Patreon, and make sure you listen to the end!

Good evening, boils and ghouls! Hope you are having the time of your LIFE on Halloween because the terrifying content of these stories will make you want to DIE. We certainly got this out on the WITCHING HOUR for all you creepsters staying up late and turning off the porch light. Well kiddies, we've got some content for you. Katie is mysteriously GONE this week, so Summer Sanders, podcast advisor, guest hosts with Sasha, Mistress Host of the Dark, to tell you ALL about the TERRIFYING world of multi-level marketing.

Tales from the Pyramid: Halloween and Hollow Schemes

Today Sasha and Katie get POLITICAL! We air our grivences about what's going on in Congress and the White House, HR 3409, and Trump's involvement with a couple MLMs. Listeners, we are all PIONEERS in this fairly new advocacy movement, and we need to RISE UP and stop this administration from allowing the FTC to relax any of its MLM or pyramid scheme laws. This is a very informative episode and WE NEED YOUR HELP in stopping this from happening. They got the pyramid schemes, but we got the guillotine. Off with their heads!

Have you ever wondered about the correlation between MLM and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? Of course you have! Most of us have. But is there really a correlation? Are they really connected? In this episode, we talk with former church member and founder of MormonLeaks, Ryan McKnight, about the relationship between MLM, the church, and its members.

Aw Shucks! A Trip Around the MLM Pearl World

For those interested in skipping ahead to the video after listening to the audio portion, skip to 41:06 on the episode on our Youtube Channel. Katie and Sasha discuss a very strange and mysterious, supposed MLM, per the press releases released a few months ago. However, there isn't a way to contact anyone, even if you call their "Hump Day" number. The mystery starts with a baby camel, and ends with Katie and Sasha trying freeze dried camel milk, recorded on video and uploaded to youtube. (Your earholes can get it as a regular podcast episode, but we recommend you head over to youtube to see the video - it's worth it.) SLMLMBUTOK - NOW DIRECT TO VIDEO!

Not Such a "Smooth Character": Why We "Wouldn't Walk a Mile for a Camel" MLM

On this week's 'pode, Katie and Sasha get into the failed MLM "BurnLounge" that was branded as a pyramid scheme several years ago, only looking to start "BurnLounge 3.0" up soon. (Maybe. And maybe we can milk another episode out of this disaster.) "BurnLounge" was like owning an iTunes franchise - except you got paid in "burn points" instead of cash, until you paid to go up to the highest level, "Mogul" at $430. (Even then, for each 99 song that was downloaded off your website, reps would only receive 5c.) This ambitious MLM said it would combine "iTunes, Ebay, Myspace, and Netflix." It's no surprise it was illegal af. Give it a listen and let us know what you think, 'cause this is one of the worst ones we've discovered. We are the first and only anti-MLM podcast. We are completely against the predatory nature of multi-level-marketing schemes, and we are part of the Anti MLM Coalition and the #AntiMLMmovement. Things may be portrayed in a humorous light, but we take consumer advocacy very seriously. If you are in an MLM, there are ways to get out. We promise.
