Survival: Olympic Runner Betty Robinson and Mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates
Shanda discusses the quick rise of record breaking Olympic medal winning runner Betty “Babe” Robinson who after a plane crash left her so severely injured a stranger took her straight to the morgue, made a full recovery and was able to win a gold medal for the United States in the 4 x 100 meter relay at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Ashley recounts the harrowing tale of mountaineers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates and how bad weather and unfamiliar terrain left the two men with a slow descent down the West Face of nearly 21,000 foot Siula Grande peak in the Peruvian Andes with no food, no water, and a broken leg.

Debunked: RMS Titanic Conspiracy and Herbalife Smoothie Shops
Ashley discusses a social media conspiracy claiming that the Titanic was switched with its sister ship The Olympic for possible insurance fraud and how researchers Steve Hall and Bruce Beveridge wrote a book against this claim. Shanda tells the story of how a strange experience at a “smoothie shop” led her to discover it was actually an Herbalife store, which is not beholden to the same food service standards, causes most people who participate in this multi-level marketing scheme to go broke, and how other shady business practices have led to lawsuits and health problems.

Beauty Queens: Joyce McKinney and Mary Leona Gage
Shanda tells the story of pageant winner Joyce McKinney who in 1977, traveled to England from Salt Lake City where she allegedly kidnapped, imprisoned, and raped her Mormon boyfriend Kirk Anderson, and the tabloids made her a celebrity for the ultimate “he said, she said” recount of the events. Ashley recounts the tragic life story of the 1957 Miss USA winner Mary Leona Gage; a story that includes a troubled childhood, being twice married with two children by 18 years old, being dethroned after it was found out she lied to the pageant committee, leading to a life of more marriages, estranged children, drugs, overdoses, and a meager career in Hollywood.
