  • If you’re jonesing for some nostalgia, then this is the Oh My Fraud episode for you. Caleb and Greg discuss two stars—an athlete whose fame peaked in the 80s and a singer-songwriter who put out one of the biggest selling albums of the 90s—who helped define their respective decades. Unfortunately, their wild success also made them targets of people they trusted to help manage that success.
