S23E10: The Darmstadt Divorce | Ernest Louis and Princess Victoria Melita (Trashy Royals Crossover)
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). The two became the subject of intense royal meddling as Victoria, imagining herself a skilled matchmaker, pushed Ernie to propose to Ducky, not realizing Ernie was more of a man's man, if you get our drift.

696. Regine, The Queen of the Night
In a follow-up from the Barbara Baekeland story, Alicia dips into the story of Regine, the woman behind the discotheque, and potentially the first DJ too. So many international spiderwebs are included in this trashy tale of a lady who is nowhere near as well-known as she should be. Sponsors Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.

695. Barbara Daly Baekeland
Some stories shoot right past “trashy” and head straight for “disturbing,” and that is the case of murdered socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland. In this encore presentation from November 2022, Alicia recounts the troubling life and times of a family beset by mental illness and too much money, and the tragedy that unfolded as a result.

694. Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll
Over the last few years, country music fans have fallen in love with the music and persona of Jelly Roll, a former rapper who spent two decades trying to make his musical dreams come true. And as those dreams materialized, they did it in enormous fashion - while Jelly himself took the opportunity of that success to become smaller and smaller. As his circumstances and outlook have changed, apparently his ten-year marriage to podcast host Bunnie Xo became a casualty of his rise. Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

In today's Dumpster Dive, Alicia takes us on a journey through a land she is uniquely unqualified to speak on: sportsing! First up, an unsettling story about the NFL's Tyreek Hill and his long history of domestic violence. Then, basketballer Luka Doncic is having some trouble balancing fatherhood and a broken engagement in his native Slovenia. Next up, feast your ears on the soap opera that is the love lives of the women of the WNBA. Finally, in another example of Billionaires Behaving Badly, 49ers owner Jed York appears to be having a serious midlife crisis. He has recently filed for divorce in California, moved to a home his parents own in Ohio, and then been arrested for soliciting a sex worker/undercover cop in a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.
