Lots of Money: Deena & Cleena Weena the Lottery!
Deena and Cleena are two lifelong friends (who met in their 30s) living out of Toledo, Ohio where one day they hit the literal jackpot and won 500 MILLION DOLLARS. Equipped with their shared windfall, limited business acumen and overpriced podcasting equipment, these kooky ladies are opening their doors to hear pitches and proposals from eclectic entrepreneurs on how they can shrewdly invest their winnings...but it’s not so simple. Each episode they’ll dive deep into their guests’ lives and expertise with hard-hitting, sometimes flirty questions before finally forcing them to compete in twisted, gladiatorial bouts of silliness (aka games). The winner will walk away with their seed capital and a Diet Coke but everyone will leave with a capital F for FUN. Welcome to Lots of Money: Deena & Cleena Weena the Lottery! Hosted by: Anna Bezahler & Stephanie Burchinow Produced & Edited by: Jason Adesman Music by: @philfamous Art by: Anna Bezahler

Where to begin - this one's got EVERYTHING! Romance, accents, necromancy critters, references to the Rachel haircut, and a game segment that almost immediately goes off the rails. Gemma Buckingham (Cameron Kelly) brings in a pitch for those in need of a second chance, and Darlene (James Jellin) has a plan to give all non-mother heathens a bundle of creepy crawly joy. Deena and Cleena do their best to conduct serious business but sometimes love just trumps all. Listen in to make this make sense!

Uh oh! This week the girls are absolutely swept away by the spirit of FEMINISM after meeting belly button activist Lorraine Kegel (Alexis Rhiannon) and legendary gossip hound Tina Tushy (Alex Bigelow). An absolutely electric generic game segment nets a shocking result that you just might have to tune in and LEAN IN to believe!

By now Deena and Cleena are addicted to making shrewd investments and they can't be stopped! This week they bring in quadruple threat and aspiring American Idol contestant, Maxwell Star, to go against a friendless member of the renown Chest Family, Gregory Chest, who's desperate to have a dinner party. The two duke it out like age-old adversaries but by the end they're forced to telepathically mind-meld in our trademarked generic game segment. For what business purpose? You decide!

Deena & Cleena unlock the gates and welcome in two new bona fide weirdos to make their case for an investment. This week we have Sheryl Straid (Lilliana Winkworth), not that one, who has invented an audio smoke bomb of sorts to escape from awkward conversations. And Chip McGillicutty (Meredith Dillon) lays out their humble dream of performing on American Idol and enlists the ladies in a scheme to get around the pesky age limit of 28. All that and a game that gets our crew thinking like a family - definitely not sponsored by Olive Garden*.

You thought this was a one episode podcast? WRONG! Cleena & Deena are back in their Toledo studio to hear two new amazing pitches. First up is Richard Caruso Jr. (Tao Yang), who is seeking frankly too much money for his extremely niche dating service. He's up against Byron Mace (Sunny Zimmerman), a Baltimore based entrepreneur that has partnered with their Uncle Buoy, a pillar of the scientific community, to engineer a novel sleeping aid for young children. It's anyone's game! Or is it?

It's our first episode!!! Cleena and Deena open the doors to their top of the line studio and welcome in Trent Fishtaceaux (May Darmon), a veteran movie producer seeking financing for his vaguely familiar projects, and Zane the Lifeguard (Isabella Escalante), who has a novel solution to the problem of solitary surfing. And stick around to the end for our inaugural game segment and to see who is going to "weena" an investment!
