The Comedian, the Cult, and Painting Red Flags Green

Today I'm sitting down with my old friend, the incredibly talented standup comic, author, and producer Craig Shoemaker! We waste no time diving into his wildest personal drama, unpacking the saga of his marriage to a "hippie" who ended up lured into a full-blown cult. While Craig shares his perspective on whether it was a long-term grift or an extreme spiritual derailment, I give him some tough love and a female perspective on painting red flags green. Plus, we trade hilarious behind-the-scenes standup notes, discuss comic couples, and he gives me the ultimate inside scoop on what my husband Peter actually says about me out on the golf course! -Go to RO.CO/JUICYCRIMES to see if you qualify. -Get 40% off select Lola Blankets products at Lolablankets.com by using code JUICY CRIMES at checkout.
