Everyone’s tried to use a connection to get their foot in the door, but without careful fact-checking, you might just end up with your foot in your mouth instead.
In today’s episode, Marlene takes us back to her desperate days of trying to break into Hollywood—where she was ready to do anything to make it. She thought she was on the fast track to success, but her attempt to impress a big-time talent agent was dead on arrival.
Tune in for a plot twist that’s straight out of central casting—and Rebekah and Samantha discuss why personal connections, while helpful, aren’t everything!
Stick around for the Not Safe for Work (NSFW) segment at the end of the show, featuring listener voicemails. This week — our anonymous caller shares an unexpected rejection and the pitiful send off that followed.
