This is the potential breakup song of Ticketmaster & Live Nation: a toxic relationship that, according to one lawyer, "essentially defrauds everyone involved." Becca and Robby bring you up to speed on the outcome of the company's fight in a trust-busting trial and then go all the way back to the villain origin story of this Frankenstein of scams. It makes us feel better to know that the founder of Ticketmaster is now miserable and possibly broke!
