In the late 90s he got breast implants to win a $100k bet. 20 years later he still has them. In 1996, Brian Zembic, a somewhat eccentric gambling addict, entered into a wager with a fellow gambling friend that he would get breast implants for an entire year for $100,000. He did it, but then after that year he kept the breasts, and has basically crafted his entire life and personality around having them. The weird transphobia at play in this decades-long publicity stunt is troubling and fascinating, and the man at the center of it is a strange and unsettling figure - not because he's a man who has boobs, but because of why. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we delve into the strange life of Brian Zembic. -- NEW!
