A Hunk a Hunk of Burning Lies: Part 1

Dear Media
About this episode
In the first installment of this jaw-dropping two part episode we delve into the wild and heartbreaking story of a listener who thought she’d found her king only to discover he was the ultimate con artist. Kylie's husband, a world-champion Elvis impersonator, built a seemingly perfect life with her, only to shatter it with a double life involving countless affairs, deceit, stolen money, and more.

From the tiki bar where they met to the shocking revelations that left her life in ruins, this story delves into the seedy underworld of the Elvis impersonator performance circuit. But this isn't just about one man’s betrayal—it's about resilience, uncovering the truth, and warning others about the dangers of "perfect" partners who hide their true selves. This one will leave you saying, "You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog."
