Episode description

The year is 1995 in Burien, WA, a Seattle suburb. Vili Fualaau is a 12-year old, first-generation, Samoan sixth grader whose father is in prison and lives in a “tough” part of town. His mom isn’t home much because she works many jobs. He has a crush on his teacher he had in second and now sixth grade. He thinks she’s a movie star. His teacher is none other than the infamous Mary Kay Letourneau--a 34-year old mother of 4 who knows better than to be a child rapist. So, where is she now and what has she been up to since her media firestorm that spanned much of the 90’s and into the early 2000’s?

Mary Kay, you are our third featured garbage person, regurgitated! Congratulations. You’re the worst.

Also--our hearts go out to the people who are most affected by the protests and Covid-19. Black Lives Matter. Do what you can to actively fight our systemically racist system!

Can’t attend the protests? Donate your money to worthy causes and Black-owned businesses. Broke? Write/call/text your local and federal officials demanding reform/change now. Call out your racist friends on social media. Stay safe and keep your eyes open!
