As someone once told Grant "See how men lie?" This week Maia entrances Grant with the life of a man as interesting as it was false. Ronald Dante. AKA Ronald Pellar, Dr. Dante, Phil Harris, Joseph Reuben, Mr. Fabian, and so, so many more aliases. But what can we learn from a liar? Turns out quite a bit, as long as you're able to believe. Today we find out we're all living in Ron's world. Join us as we all learn to become "Hypnotherapists", Perm-a-Derm dermologists, and how to run a degree mill like Columbia State University. And Who Rons The World? Well, I Laughed
