If you watched any television in the late 2000s, you undoubtedly saw Vince hock a product called ShamWow, a super absorbent towel. His abrasive, enthusiastic personality made him an instant icon, but frequent lawsuits, a scandal with a sex worker, and an anti-woke podcast absolutely deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as his iconic ShamWow. -- Written by Mike Bedard -- Join our Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew
