We're baaaack, revisiting and updating you on Volo, the spiritual MLM that happened to be our first episode in 2018. What happened to it? Did they really change the lives of one billion people through yoga videos and encouraging people to throw out their antidepressants? Katie Young and Sasha Zazzi gain insight into the most spiritual of Kirby Vacuum Cleaner salesmen, and Jack of All Fails, founder Sean Spencer.

Happy VERY LATE Valentine's Day, when all your candy is 50% off (and maybe your flowers are dead). We intended for this episode to come out on February 13th, but the amount of technical difficulties was almost like a farce! Sit-com city, here we come! Katie and Sasha discuss the underbelly of some very, uh, "sexy" MLMs that have failed under a sleazy CEO. This episode is 18+.

SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE

Sasha Zazzi and Katie Young have put together a HUGE episode compiling all lawsuits currently against Lularoe with Becca Peter. Then we get into the nitty gritty of the complaint filed by the Washington Attorney General alleging Lularoe is... a pyramid scheme?! (Well, we'll be damned!) We finish off the episode with Sasha and Lularoe Defective Admin Heather Blithely critically analyzing Lularoe founder Deanne Stidham's tacky and poorly timed "masquerade" ball for her 60th birthday - the day after the pyramid scheme law suit was filed.

This episode goes above and beyond explaining the hot water LLR is in. We've spent hours consulting people, reading articles, recording, and editing.

Make sure you listen to the episode ALL THE WAY to the end! Sasha made the outro music particularly relevant.

HUGE THANK YOU to BECCA PETER and HEATHER BLITHELY for their research and opinions.

Please join the new defective Facebook group, Defective Detectives 2.0 - the admins there do great work and they are always the first to break LLR news

Happy Thanksgiving! Got a turkey to cook? Put this on in the background. Got to hit the road to see family? You know you're going to be stuck in traffic forever, so pass the time with SLMLMbutok!

Sasha and Katie sit down with special guest Julie Contreras who is the commissioner of League of United Latin American Citizens of Illinois’ Immigrant Affairs Commission. She is one of the most outspoken advocates protecting the Latinx community from being exploited by Herbalife. "Betting on Zero", the critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary that uncovers the controversy over both the short and Herbalife's business practices, highlights her quest for reparations and justice.

We missed a week but here we are, ringing your doorbell and knocking on your door like the Avon Lady - well, not exactly like her, because we're bringing this podcast to you instead of make up.

(Can we never utter the name of that product again? Please?)

Good evening, boils and ghouls! Hope you are having the time of your LIFE on Halloween because the terrifying content of these stories will make you want to DIE. We certainly got this out on the WITCHING HOUR for all you creepsters staying up late and turning off the porch light. Well kiddies, we've got some content for you. Katie is mysteriously GONE this week, so Summer Sanders, podcast advisor, guest hosts with Sasha, Mistress Host of the Dark, to tell you ALL about the TERRIFYING world of multi-level marketing. Lularoe? Aliens? Lubricant? It's all there. Turn off the lights and grab some headphones - and better get some sleeping pills for the inevitable nightmares you'll have tonight - these pyramids are haunted. The truth is out there, and SLMLMbutok has it.

Listening to this after Halloween night? Just because Halloween is one night a year, doesn't mean the spooky and scary things go away!

Pleasant screams.

Today Sasha and Katie get POLITICAL! We air our grivences about what's going on in Congress and the White House, HR 3409, and Trump's involvement with a couple MLMs. Listeners, we are all PIONEERS in this fairly new advocacy movement, and we need to RISE UP and stop this administration from allowing the FTC to relax any of its MLM or pyramid scheme laws. This is a very informative episode and WE NEED YOUR HELP in stopping this from happening. They got the pyramid schemes, but we got the guillotine. Off with their heads!

Unless you were an early adopter of the ill-fated original Boomer episode, many of you thought you missed it. You didn't! We re-recorded it because we realized it just wasn't up to par with what we usually produce. So here's the reincarnation of Boomer! Boomer 2: Electric Boomarlo

How is a 20lb tabby cat our new anti-MLM hero and mascot? What did he pull on Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, to expose him for the fraud he is? Katie explains it all to Sasha and gets into the nitty gritty of Young's priors which is absolutely astounding. (And by Young we mean Gary, not Katie.)

Have you ever wondered about the correlation between MLM and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? Of course you have! Most of us have. But is there really a correlation? Are they really connected? In this episode, we talk with former church member and founder of MormonLeaks, Ryan McKnight, about the relationship between MLM, the church, and its members.

We are BACK with our NEW WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE! Katie Young and Sasha Zazzi dive right into the calm blue sea to look at oysters - wait, where do they come from? We talk Vantel in this episode, the crazy phenomenon of pearl parties on FB Live, and how to not be an asshole. Sasha also explains her FB social experiment when she posed as an MLM pearl shucker for a night - she had to watch a lot of Nathan Fielder's "Nathan For You" to prepare to not break character and stay cool and collected in the biz world.

For those interested in skipping ahead to the video after listening to the audio portion, skip to 41:06 on the episode on our Youtube Channel.

Katie and Sasha discuss a very strange and mysterious, supposed MLM, per the press releases released a few months ago. However, there isn't a way to contact anyone, even if you call their "Hump Day" number. The mystery starts with a baby camel, and ends with Katie and Sasha trying freeze dried camel milk, recorded on video and uploaded to youtube. (Your earholes can get it as a regular podcast episode, but we recommend you head over to youtube to see the video - it's worth it.)

On this week's 'pode, Katie and Sasha get into the failed MLM "BurnLounge" that was branded as a pyramid scheme several years ago, only looking to start "BurnLounge 3.0" up soon. (Maybe. And maybe we can milk another episode out of this disaster.) "BurnLounge" was like owning an iTunes franchise - except you got paid in "burn points" instead of cash, until you paid to go up to the highest level, "Mogul" at $430. (Even then, for each 99 song that was downloaded off your website, reps would only receive 5c.) This ambitious MLM said it would combine "iTunes, Ebay, Myspace, and Netflix." It's no surprise it was illegal af. Give it a listen and let us know what you think, 'cause this is one of the worst ones we've discovered.

We are the first and only anti-MLM podcast. We are completely against the predatory nature of multi-level-marketing schemes, and we are part of the Anti MLM Coalition and the #AntiMLMmovement. Things may be portrayed in a humorous light, but we take consumer advocacy very seriously. If you are in an MLM, there are ways to get out. We promise.

These are MLMs that reps are encouraging people to join immediately to get it on the "ground floor" for 2018. If being successful in an MLM is all about working hard and educating people about why your product is the best, why should it matter if you get in on the ground floor? I thought hard work and dedication is all it took!

On this week's episode, Sasha and Katie sit down with very busy mother Allison Briner Kraft, as she shares the harrowing details about the 10 years she spent in Amway. Based on her account, Amway is, without a doubt, a cult that is difficult to break away from. As one of the oldest MLMs, the company has fine-tuned itself to be one of the most predatory of its kind in the network marketing industry.

Two days late, but we are here! We believe this is a keynote episode for season 2 - everyone who has been approached by a "hunbot" (which we define in the episode for those new to the movement) needs to have a few responses in their arsenal of replies so no one feels obligated to engage in their sales pitches. Sasha and Katie discuss some of the more common manipulative approaches MLM reps may use to guilt you into a sale or joining their team, but they also ensure that the responses they suggest you can use are RESPECTFUL to the rep. It should never be our intention to bully them or go out of our way to hurt them. Most of them are victims of the MLM structure themselves.

SOUNDS LIKE MLM BUT OKILY DOKILY!

Hi diddly ho, anti-MLMerinos! We're back with SEASON TWO! Come listen to our podcast's "glow up" which includes... BETTER AUDIO!! To kick off our new beginning, Sasha and Katie got to binge watch a lot of television to bring you this special, educational episode explaining MLM satire in comedic sitcoms or black comedy movies. We will bring you some classic, nostalgic clips that will make you laugh out loud while still focusing on how utterly ridiculous multi-level-marketing is.

Bonuses: Sasha and Katie (yet again) promote the Target Wine Cube without sponsorship, Sasha obsesses over the first 8 seasons of "The Simpsons" (the best episodes) several times throughout the episode, and a little tribute to Boomer, the 20 lb, healthy, tabby cat who exposed the Young Living Cancun Clinic as a scam through a simple blood test, and we end with a lil' Mel Brooks music number. If you're a Simpsons fan, I recommend listening to the very end of the episode past the outro music.

This week on Sounds like MLM but ok, we're talking to Courtney Harwood in part two of our dive into the Lularoe fiasco. Like our last guest, Roberta Blevins, Courtney was featured in the recent Bloomberg news article on Lularoe. We'll be talking with her about Lularoe's internal culture and structure, something she has unique insight on given her former high-up position in the company. Tune in to learn the secrets of the Stidhams, company-suggested gastric surgery, and what exactly goes on in the Lularoe bus when it's time to visit the company factory in Guatemala.

For today's episode, we're extremely excited (and very lucky!) to have former LuLaroe trainer Roberta Blevins on the show to give us a peek into the wild and weird world of legging-related pyramid schemes. You may recognize her name from a recent Bloomberg News article detailing exactly how the wheels are coming off that particular MLM. Join us as we learn about mold-covered leggings, poop-filled swimsuits, and much more. This is the first part of a two-part episode focusing on the decline and fall of Lularoe, so make sure you catch part two as well
