8 September 2024 - 1 hour 40 minsWe've noticed a lack of royal divorce stories since we kicked off our sibling podcast Trashy Royals more than a year ago now (!). Today, Alicia is bridging that gap by bringing together - and busting apart - two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren. Yes, the long tradition of royal cousins getting hitched. These are Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse and by Rhine (nickname: Ernie) and Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (nickname: Ducky).

664. John Daly, Bad Boy of Golf
explicitWhen a rookie came out of nowhere to win the 1991 PGA Championship, it catapulted John Daly, then 25, to the height of fame and fortune. His unusual look, powerful drives, and decidedly anti-country club vibe made him a fan favorite - but not an uncomplicated one. His drinking, smoking, gambling, carousing, and four marriages and divorces are a testament to the complexity, as we dive into one of the golf world's most notable figures. Here's that Dusty Slay 5 O'Clock Somewhere routine. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

662. The Scandalous Candy Mossler | The Trial
You might think with all the evidence available that convicting Candy Mossler and Melvin Lane Powers for the murder of Jacques Mossler would be a cinch. Turns out justice can be bought with high powered attorneys and a compliant jury. The whole world was watching this trial go down in early 1966, and no one could have predicted the outcome.
