About this episode

Billy McFarland discusses his life experiences, mistakes, and time in prison in a candid interview.

Billy McFarland, the disgraced founder of Fyre Fest, joins Andy Frasco and Nick to talk about life in prison, his biggest mistake, his relationship with Ja Rule, Blink 182 lying, and much more in his crazy life and career saga. This is a quick-hitting, back-and-forth interview with tons of great stories and even an Epstein-related tale he has never said before on a podcast, so check it out. No opening this week, we're getting right into it. You decide for yourself if you think Billy McFarland is really remorseful, or if he's just faking it for his next attempt. He owes over $26 million dollars and is doing everything he can to pay it off. This is a crazy story of bad decisions compiling and creating more bad decisions that led to serious time in prison.
