EP. 305 — The Not So Magic Mike w/ Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen
This week, Laci welcomes Rachel Bilson and Olivia Allen (Broad Ideas Podcast, The O.C.) for a steamy summertime episode discussing John Santilli, a Hollywood producer who stole more than $4 million from investors who believed they were buying a stake in the Magic Mike Live strip show in Las Vegas but were financing his tour of the sleaziest casinos instead. The trio debates whether men in dungarees are hot or if it’d be sexier for them to hold puppies. Plus, they dive into Channing Tatum’s past before he was Magic Mike on the big screens. Stay schemin’!
