We've been talking a lot about scams lately. Here's another one. This time it's a phony psychic. Remember Miss Cleo? It's like that, only much, much bigger.

Nobody lived the rock n' roll lifestyle like the manager of the band. Which band? All of them. Unfortunately we don't have time to cover every rock manager ever, so today we focus on Peter Grant, manager of Led Zeppelin. And speaking of unusual lifestyles, when you're in the mob you have to choose your words and company carefully, so why Gianni chose to tell us about his life is a mystery.

Unfortunately this is sometimes literal, such as the case when Alison Parker was murdered by a man who should by no means have passed a background check - but he did. And mental illness doesn't just harm others; sometimes the ill harm themselves, such as in the case of Samuel Pollen, one of 25% of anorexia sufferers who are male.

Long ago, in the ancient year 1964, Ford made something called the GT40. It was very fast. Now, in the future, they're making the GT.
