What is the premise of the Busted podcast and how do listeners contribute?
I had just seen Ice T guest at the Apollo at the Snoop Dogg concert, and I told him that, and he sort of looked me up and down and went, huh. Hi, I'm Lisa Traeger. And I'm Kara Clank. And together we host That's Messed Up, a podcast where we recap Law and Order SVU, dig into the actual crimes, and interview actors from the episode. Like former SVU guest star Bradley Whitford. Often I would meet people who would assume that I there was something sort of Ted Bundy about me because of these sort of sort of characters that I play. And we're celebrating our 300th episode in style with the one, the only, John Stamos.
There's nobody better to play this character. I'm like, what is it? He's like, he's a reproductive abuser and he tries to impregnate as many women as he got. I'm like, really?
I'm the guy like that? Okay, fine. Get the story behind the Rip from the Headline story on That's Messed Up. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

And even worse, girlfriends.
They thought they could get away with it.
But now, they're about to get Busted.
Everyone acts like getting cheated on is this horrible thing.
Yeah.
But no one ever talks about the upsides.
What's that? Do you finally dump the loser you were dating?
No. Oh. Like look at Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Uh-huh. Elle's boyfriend cheats and leaves her for another woman, and what happens? She gets into Harvard Law.
Yeah. Yeah. It's not because of it sure is that motivates her to apply. It sure is. That motivates her to
apply to get a law degree. In a weird way, you're right, and I hate it. I am right.
