Welcome back to The Nerd Expansion! Today's guest is the one and only Olivia Oguma and her nerd love is Cirque du Soleil. It's awesome.
OLIVIA OGUMA --began her career at the age of infant, when she was discovered by a modeling agency and thrust into the spotlight of commercials and magazine campaigns. Since then she has continued to work on stage, on screen and behind the scenes, as an editor and in your living room as the most in demand babysitter on the UWS. She has been on Broadway in LES MIZ, MAMMA MIA and A CHRISTMAS CAROL. She has appeared in many regional productions of Miss Saigon, and zero regional productions of the King and I. She has been on many TV shows such as Instinct, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Good Wife, Odd Mom Out, Law and Order and Great News--on which she ALMOST always plays the almost interchangeable role of "frazzled Asian assistant who drops something". In her spare time, Olivia runs an etsy store called @kanojodesigns and has solo backpacked thru 30 different countries! She is proudest of all, of her extreme devotion to Cirque Du Soleil. She is a member and Often contributor to HARD CORE CIRQUE FANS the FAN CLUB and currently has seen ALL current running Cirque shows in the world, except for one BUT she has a ticket to fly to Brazil and see it in a month.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
