93: Mama June & Sugar Bear

Troy has spent several episodes discussing Oscar nominated actors, but this week he's taking things back to our roots! Troy is joined by Rylee Ennis, the host of Snap Back to Reality pod, to discuss Mama June and Sugar Bear, AKA June Shannon and Mike Thompson. They start by examining the couple's complicated lives before fame, and what led to them becoming the breakout stars Toddlers and Tiaras. They also dissect the pop culture phenomenon that was Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and what led to their inevitable downfall.
