Scam Goddess

Notriously riddled with scandal, Penn State recently upped the anti with a fraternity led coke ring. Ron Funches joined Laci Mosley for a dive into the horrors of campus life in America. Together they try to figure out who else might have snitched, how long you can stay on the line when you know about the drug operation in the basement, and why Penn State became a party school.

If you can't buy a modeling career for $4.6 million, you simply weren't meant to strut runways or grace Vogue's pages. But that didn't stop Chanise Coyne from scamming parents across Florida out of millions, hoping their children would hit the big time. Coyne had no photos in her hands. Actor and comedian Brandon Kyle Goodman joins Laci Mosley for a mind-boggling trip into the Facebook pages, artist squabbles, and unbelievable bank accounts of America's wannabe models.

Surprising no one, golf courses remain racist, sexist, and overall just horribly hateful to any non-white, non-cisgendered, queer human hoping to hit the links. While some things have evolved, not all is fair in love and sports. Shaddowy golf brokers are out here stealing tee times! Comedian Zach Noe Towers joins us to talk about one of the most petty schemes to happen at a private club here in Los Angeles. Plus, we take a call from a member of the con-gregation who just barely survives a phone scam.

BookTok used to be the place where readers went to argue about their favorite authors, ship the gays, and learn which creatures their friends were sexually attracted to, and now, like all good things, it's being used to scam. Writer and comedian Ashley Ray joins Laci to discuss the Fyre Fest of book link-ups. A shared cabin, no food, in the middle of the wilderness could be a good time if properly funded; instead, it left a pack of women and one very nice male author hungry and feeling ripped off. Will there be justice or a second round of schemes?

Kerry Coddett, actress and comedian known for her work in Flatbush Misdemeanors, Ramy, Crashing, and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, joins Laci for one of the most colorful scams we've ever covered. In Astoria, Queens, one couple scammed multiple members of their immigrant community with one of the ugliest houses ever seen on Zillow. Multiple fronts, including a fashion house, delayed justice, but as with most scams, greed eventually caught up with the perpetrators.

Laci is joined by the hilarious Jay Jurden in this extra long episode exploring the heist of a Nicolas Cage film from a flash drive someone left on a desk. Throughout Cage's (née Coppola) storied career, he's starred in some of the greatest movies of all time (Adaptation), and he's led some of the worst (see streaming titles). But no one predicted an entire film could be stolen. Now, producers are suing, and we're left wondering if this film about the man who inspired the creation of James Bond will ever see the light of day.
