This week, my bestie Morgan joins me as we unravel the tragic, yet utterly wild, story of Selena Quintanilla's murder. We're diving deep into the Queen of Tejano's rise to superstardom and the shocking betrayal that cut her life short. Expect a heavy dose of meticulously researched details, a few gasps, and plenty of our signature laughs and jokes as we try to cope with the sheer absurdity of it all. You won't want to miss this one!
