ODO 60: Fake News, Fake Milk, and Fake Festivals - a podcast by Adam Higgins

A stomach bug has me a little behind in the news this week but, in Entertainment I've got Ryan Seacrest, Richard Simmons, and a new Hellboy movie. In Weird Shit I've got a woman who doesn't want to share her money, napping at the gym, and REAL fake milk. Wrapping it all up this week's featured podcast is The Countdown: Movie and TV Reviews.

-ENTERTAINMENT-

Richard Simmons Sues Tabloids

-WEIRD SHIT FROM THE NEWS-

Woman Swallows $9000 Cash to Avoid Sharing With Ex-
A woman in Columbia swallowed $9000 in $100 bills that she had saved with her ex- because she didn't want to give him half in the breakup. Doctors were able to surgically remove $5700 and eventually returned it to her. The rest apparently was fully digested.

UK Gym Introduces Napping Classes
A fitness company in the UK has begun "napercize" classes where attendees lay down for 45 minutes of rest, instead of further exhausting themselves with other workouts. The company wants to spread word of the health benefits of getting plenty of rest.

"Perfect Day" is Making Cow's Milk Without The Cow
A pair of biomechanical engineers have developed a way to use genetically modified yeast to produce synthetic cow's milk. They combined cow DNA with yeast so that when the yeast ferment they give off milk proteins. They combine those with plant based fats and sugars and the result is a lactose free, nutritionally identical synthetic milk without the use of a cow.

-JACKASS OF THE WEEK-

Ja Rule and Friends' "Fyre Festival" Marketing Leads to Lawsuits

Not only was the "Fyre Festival" a complete catastrophe of epic proportions, the fallout keeps coming. The event organizers and promoters are now being sued by the bucketful including a $100 million class action suit. Also included in another suit are the social media influencers who may have been paid to promote the event on their profiles including: models, designers, and other high profile social media celebrities. Apparently there is legal precedent that may result in those celebrities actually being held accountable for damages alongside the event organizers.
