Was Volo Doing Yoga? Cuz They Were Stretching
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
Happy VERY LATE Valentine's Day, when all your candy is 50% off (and maybe your flowers are dead). We intended for this episode to come out on February 13th, but the amount of technical difficulties was almost like a farce! Sit-com city, here we come! Katie and Sasha discuss the underbelly of some very, uh, "sexy" MLMs that have failed under a sleazy CEO. This episode is 18+.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO SARA RISI! Thank you for being a true peach of a fan by donating to our Patreon, and make sure you listen to the end!

Lularoe's "Bless" of Death: The End of an Alleged Criminal Empire?
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
