What do a shiny new coffee maker, a decades-old Hollywood mystery, and a tragic betrayal have in common? Everything—when Life in Jest’s Pascale and Selene get talking.

In this episode, emotions percolate as the hosts unpack the surprising grief of retiring a faithful coffee machine, then brew up a deeper conversation about the heartbreaking case of Fabio Sementelli. They explore betrayal, the long shadow of murder, and how fame can distort the scales of justice.

It’s part true crime, part therapy session, part caffeine-fueled chaos—as always. So pour yourself a cup and join us as we stir in the humor with the heartbreak and sip through the bitter and the bold.


Thanks for listening, dear friends! We love you oh so much! XOXOXO
