Remembering Crazy Eddie with Journalist Gary Weiss
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, one electronics retail chain became a phenomenon thanks to a ubiquitous ad campaign featuring a zany pitchman screaming about INSANE prices. In this episode, Caleb and Greg speak with journalist and author Gary Weiss whose new book chronicles the trickery at Crazy Eddie, an audacious fraud that reverberates until this day.
