- 1:42Speaker 1: where are all the hottest entertainers? And I do mean hot? So, Tracy,
- 1:49Speaker 1: do you have any relationship with scams? Have you ever
- 1:51Speaker 1: been scammed? Do you like them? Do you hate them? Like?
- 1:52Speaker 1: Where do you lie on the spectrum?
- 1:55Speaker 2: I'm like obsessed with scams. I love scams. I like,
- 2:00Speaker 2: I'm like a scam fan, like I'm interested in them.
- 2:03Speaker 2: But I also am like I don't ever want to
- 2:05Speaker 2: be a victim of a scam. So I'm like super
- 2:09Speaker 2: have my you know, antenna up all the time. I
- 2:13Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I love messing with robocallers, like
- 2:17Speaker 2: who are trying to like, you know, get my social
- 2:19Speaker 2: Security number or you know, tell me that my Apple
- 2:23Speaker 2: idea has been compromised any of that stuff. I have
- 2:26Speaker 2: a lot of fun with them. But you know, I
- 2:28Speaker 2: was trying to think if I've done scams before and before,
- 2:33Speaker 2: you know, before coming on. I know that you talk
- 2:34Speaker 2: about scams up top, if anyone's been a scammer, but
- 2:37Speaker 2: like I don't, I don't know if I do. Definitely
- 2:40Speaker 2: nothing like illegal. Like my scams are like cutting lines.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Like I'm getting on an on ramp and there's like
- 2:48Speaker 2: a long line of cars, I'll go right up to
- 2:50Speaker 2: like the front and like cut people off there. So
- 2:52Speaker 2: like definitely like asshole stuff, but like not like criminal stuff.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Okay, well I want to say that you are I'm
- 3:00Speaker 1: not an asshover doing that. That is actually how traffic
- 3:03Speaker 1: is supposed to work. I got cussed out like last
- 3:07Speaker 1: week at an intersection because I did that where it
- 3:09Speaker 1: was like a long lot of people trying to bottle
- 3:11Speaker 1: that because the one road lane was gonna end, and
- 3:14Speaker 1: I just drove up the lane that was ending up
- 3:16Speaker 1: to the top and then got in where I fit in,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and this truck was so mad they were honking and
- 3:22Speaker 1: like trying to get my attention. I have my windows down,
- 3:24Speaker 1: so I just had to kind of like play like
- 3:26Speaker 1: I couldn't hear and just stare straight ahead. But you
- 3:31Speaker 1: if you go to drive a school, that's what you're
- 3:32Speaker 1: supposed to do. You're supposed to merge at the last
- 3:33Speaker 1: second so that you could keep the flow of traffic going.
- 3:36Speaker 2: That's exactly Yeah. I mean I feel like only suckers
- 3:39Speaker 2: wait in the line.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Listen, I'm I'm all about that. I've skipped all the lines.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I've skipped so many lines. I remember once there was
- 3:47Speaker 1: a really there was a screening for a Barry Jenkins movie.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Oh is that Judy? Is that you're down?
- 3:52Speaker 2: This is Judy?
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yes, I'm such a creepy. I went to your Instagram.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I saw a little sweater you
- 3:58Speaker 1: made for her. I was like, okay, seems true.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love knitting.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So she just like this woman is a stalker.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Like, no, I have no right calling anyone a stalker.
- 4:10Speaker 2: The amount of research I do on people.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Right, I mean, it's I think we have to get
- 4:15Speaker 1: to the point in the Internet age where we just
- 4:17Speaker 1: say like, yeah, I saw you were there on Instagram,
- 4:19Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't have to pretend I don't
- 4:21Speaker 1: know anything about people anymore. Like you put it on
- 4:24Speaker 1: the ground.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, it's like it would be almost like insulting
- 4:29Speaker 2: if like you know, it's like not that I expect
- 4:32Speaker 2: people to like go and look at my stuff, but
- 4:34Speaker 2: like I'm not at all. I'm weirded out. Like I
- 4:36Speaker 2: have a public Instagram. If someone sees stuff about my life,
- 4:40Speaker 2: it's like because I put I put it out there.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I put it there, right, But so many people I've
- 4:44Speaker 1: had so many people be like, oh, oh you oh
- 4:46Speaker 1: you've stopped me. And it's like, girl, you put on
- 4:49Speaker 1: the on Beyasce's Internet for free for everybody.
- 4:53Speaker 2: What you mean? I read people's like grandparents' obituaries and
- 4:57Speaker 2: stuff like that.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Like I do that too.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I go deep. I mean if I'm dating someone or
- 5:02Speaker 2: if someone pisses me off or something like that, Like
- 5:04Speaker 2: I'm like, what do I need to know about this person?
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to get they Oh yeah, you
- 5:09Speaker 1: get their research up front. I like that. But before
- 5:12Speaker 1: we get into what's hei and fraud, I will finish
- 5:13Speaker 1: my other cutting in line. Have you ever like cut
- 5:16Speaker 1: in line and like almost got caught, like or someone
- 5:18Speaker 1: says something like, oh.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean I people are screaming at me from their
- 5:22Speaker 2: cars constantly or you know, edestrians are yelling at me.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I'm not just white noise for you now, yeah, I'm.
- 5:29Speaker 2: An aggressive driver, you know. It's just like you have
- 5:31Speaker 2: to be in New York. No, there's I've been all right.
- 5:36Speaker 2: So like when COVID, when the lockdown started, they started
- 5:40Speaker 2: this like new procedure at Whole Foods where you go
- 5:43Speaker 2: in to the parking garage and then you know, you
- 5:46Speaker 2: come up into the store. This is how it is
- 5:48Speaker 2: in Brooklyn, and usually you just walk through the store
- 5:51Speaker 2: up at the top to go down to the basement
- 5:53Speaker 2: where like all the grocery shopping is. And that's what
- 5:56Speaker 2: I was trying to do. And I saw that there's
- 5:58Speaker 2: like they were forcing people to leave immediately and line
- 6:01Speaker 2: up outside. And I looked at the line outside. I
- 6:03Speaker 2: was like, get the hell out of here. I'm not
- 6:04Speaker 2: waiting in that line. So I would just wear headphones
- 6:08Speaker 2: and for a while, this worked for several months, but
- 6:11Speaker 2: then they finally were like man and like chase me
- 6:14Speaker 2: down there, like you have to go outside, Like, oh,
- 6:17Speaker 2: I didn't know, I had no idea. I'm so sorry.
- 6:19Speaker 2: So that was like the you know, you got to
- 6:21Speaker 2: ride it until you know you can't fall off.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I love that because we all know we work for
- 6:29Speaker 1: any larger company, like you don't really give that many fucks.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Like when they go chase you around the store, they're like, well,
- 6:33Speaker 1: we told her all right, she went this side. And
- 6:36Speaker 1: then finally you got you probably got a hater who
- 6:39Speaker 1: was on the job and was like, no, I'm not
- 6:40Speaker 1: gonna take this. She will go out into the line. Yeah.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I think it probably was like at a point where
- 6:45Speaker 2: people were being like such jerks about like wearing masks
- 6:49Speaker 2: and whatever. You know, like just in people who were
- 6:51Speaker 2: working in grocery stores were like really like had frontline
- 6:54Speaker 2: workers all of a sudden, Yeah, and they just like
- 6:57Speaker 2: had it with people like me.
- 6:59Speaker 1: That was the biggest scale of the pandemic is calling
- 7:02Speaker 1: people who work in grocery stores essential workers, but then
- 7:05Speaker 1: not paying them like they're essential. You're saying that they're
- 7:07Speaker 1: live crazy RB put on the line right, you said essential, right?
- 7:11Speaker 1: And then what this pay not looking essential? This pay
- 7:14Speaker 1: is looking very replaceable.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Like they don't even have health insurance. It's like one
- 7:18Speaker 2: thing like you know your doctor, your nurse, you have
- 7:20Speaker 2: you have health insurance, you know your your cop you
- 7:23Speaker 2: get health insurance and any kind of like first responder.
- 7:26Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, these like grocery workers
- 7:27Speaker 2: and delivery people are like our total connection to the
- 7:32Speaker 2: outside world and keeping us you know, fed and whatever,
- 7:35Speaker 2: and they have like you know, they're they're at total
- 7:39Speaker 2: risk of COVID and then not having like the protection
- 7:42Speaker 2: of like you know, if they get sick, they're like
- 7:44Speaker 2: their medical bills would be like astronomical. So right, it's
- 7:48Speaker 2: it's so messed up. It's so messed up.
- 7:50Speaker 1: It's a scam. And honestly, I hope grocery workers, I
- 7:53Speaker 1: hope y'all took like six loaves of bread home every night.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I hope y'all took all the toilet paper. I hope
- 7:57Speaker 1: he was robbing Troite or Joe those whole foods, taking
- 8:01Speaker 1: all the foods hotly home. Okay, because they played they
- 8:05Speaker 1: played job and that wasn't right. So shout out to y'all.
- 8:08Speaker 1: But let's get into it. What's hot and fraud. This
- 8:11Speaker 1: is where we warn our listeners about popping scams in
- 8:13Speaker 1: the street or more of froman not we get a
- 8:14Speaker 1: listener letter from you guys where you snitch on your
- 8:16Speaker 1: friends and family. As always, if you want to snitch
- 8:19Speaker 1: on your friends and family, just make sure the scams
- 8:20Speaker 1: were tired. We don't want to fuck up your bag.
- 8:22Speaker 1: That scam got uspot at gmail dot com. So, Racy,
- 8:26Speaker 1: give me a fake name for this person. We don't
- 8:27Speaker 1: care about gender on this show. Oh okay, Jerry, Jerry okay,
- 8:32Speaker 1: So Jerry says, ah some nice things. This is a
- 8:35Speaker 1: combo because we're getting a listener letter, but they're also
- 8:37Speaker 1: giving us some tips. And I saw you had a dog, Tracy,
- 8:41Speaker 1: so I was like, Okay, you're gonna understand what's popping here.
- 8:44Speaker 1: So apparently something people need to be aware of. It's
- 8:48Speaker 1: how common dog scams are now. My wife and I
- 8:51Speaker 1: live in Ontario and we have been trying to get
- 8:53Speaker 1: a dog for over a year. We've almost fallen for
- 8:55Speaker 1: dog scams a few times, and they're getting pretty good
- 8:57Speaker 1: at spotting them. Ever since the pandemic started, people have
- 9:00Speaker 1: been adopting pets right and left in Canada, where dogs
- 9:03Speaker 1: are already pretty scarce because it's too cold for a
- 9:05Speaker 1: lot of strays up here. This has caused the dog
- 9:07Speaker 1: demand to skyrocket. So I guess the US border being closed,
- 9:11Speaker 1: they were like, well, now we can't get dogs, you know,
- 9:14Speaker 1: like we used to from the US.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't even realize that that dogs are imported
- 9:20Speaker 2: in Canada.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I didn't know that either, Like such, we're getting some
- 9:24Speaker 1: Colombian Columbia. Okay, you were getting a Rotwaller, Like we
- 9:29Speaker 1: didn't know. So one of the websites is like you
- 9:34Speaker 1: can go on Craigslist or I guess in Canada they
- 9:36Speaker 1: have something called Kiji, and puppies cost thousands of dollars.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I've even seen dogs go for as high as five
- 9:42Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Wow, yeah for a dog. Like look, I
- 9:46Speaker 1: love dogs as much as the next dog lover, but
- 9:49Speaker 1: five thousands and that's before shots, that's before food. I know,
- 9:53Speaker 1: it's an expensive dog.
- 9:54Speaker 2: The dogs that cost that much need like extra care too,
- 9:58Speaker 2: because they're usually like pure and then they have like
- 10:01Speaker 2: their teeth are messed up, and then they have like
- 10:03Speaker 2: I they always need operations that you're better off getting
- 10:06Speaker 2: a mix.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I've heard that that they get a little sickly because
- 10:09Speaker 1: of all the in breeding and stuff.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
- 10:13Speaker 1: If you're a five thousand dollar dog, you better be
- 10:14Speaker 1: motherfucking last. See, you better be out here telling me
- 10:17Speaker 1: when Timmy fell in the whale, you gotta at least
- 10:20Speaker 1: do some light labor around the house. Fine, Nasley, you're
- 10:26Speaker 1: gonna be your commercials immediately. I hope you like APPO
- 10:28Speaker 1: because you're gonna be shooting every week like what, No,
- 10:33Speaker 1: you gotta be employed. So of course a lot of
- 10:36Speaker 1: folks were trying to get in on the dog craze,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and one big scam is that importers would use a
- 10:41Speaker 1: rescue like rescuing dogs from other countries, when really they
- 10:44Speaker 1: were getting dogs from puppy mills in the Ukraine. Oh
- 10:48Speaker 1: oh wow. So some of them are tricking people and
- 10:52Speaker 1: getting the dogs, you know, from the puppy mills. Another
- 10:54Speaker 1: popular scam is some people are posting ads for puppies
- 10:57Speaker 1: and then taking deposits for the puppy, only to pocket
- 11:00Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars from different people before disappearing. Yeah, we
- 11:05Speaker 1: bought a dog, did they? Did you do a deposit?
- 11:08Speaker 2: I did have to do a deposit. I had to
- 11:11Speaker 2: do I think it was only like one hundred dollars,
- 11:15Speaker 2: and then I had to bring cash because they were amish.
- 11:18Speaker 2: I didn't realize that they were amish because I bought
- 11:20Speaker 2: it I signed up on the computer. Like I was, like,
- 11:23Speaker 2: I didn't know that the homage used computers. I absolutely
- 11:25Speaker 2: would not have bought a dog from an homage person
- 11:27Speaker 2: because they run puppy mills. I didn't realize that it
- 11:30Speaker 2: the person was Amish until I got to their house
- 11:33Speaker 2: because they were like texting with me and stuff. I
- 11:35Speaker 2: didn't know that they could use that technology. And then
- 11:37Speaker 2: I show up and it was a total nightmare. It
- 11:41Speaker 2: was like he was like abusive to his baby, like
- 11:44Speaker 2: because when I first pulled in, I was like, Oh,
- 11:45Speaker 2: their car's not here, they're not home, and then I
- 11:48Speaker 2: was like, oh, oh they have a buggy. Oh it's
- 11:51Speaker 2: they're Amish. Oh my god. But you know, I do
- 11:56Speaker 2: kind of feel like I rescued her because I took
- 11:59Speaker 2: her out of the situation. But like I was, I
- 12:02Speaker 2: was really upset. I actually kind of got scammed into
- 12:05Speaker 2: buying a dog from an Amish person when I never
- 12:07Speaker 2: would have wanted to do that.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Now, see, I don't know if I'm not gonna say
- 12:11Speaker 1: all Amish people are running, you know, shady operations, because
- 12:15Speaker 1: they do show up for causes and stuff like that.
- 12:17Speaker 1: But this man is obviously Ish if he got the
- 12:22Speaker 1: cell phone and the computer, Like, how are you.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Exactly Well, I asked her about that when I got there.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I was like, so you can use computers and things,
- 12:29Speaker 2: and like, you know, I went into his like shed
- 12:30Speaker 2: which was his office, and he had computers and he
- 12:32Speaker 2: had his other side hustle was that he sold socks,
- 12:36Speaker 2: like he imported socks and then sold socks to Amish
- 12:39Speaker 2: people because they were all dark socks. They were like
- 12:41Speaker 2: all black and brown. So I was like, and he's like, yeah,
- 12:45Speaker 2: we were allowed to do this for business. So I
- 12:47Speaker 2: guess there's like certain hours and only certain uses that
- 12:51Speaker 2: they're allowed to do that. So I don't know.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Fascinating. Well, you know, Chelsea, I think you've just brought representation.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Amish people can be scammers too, and they shout out
- 13:01Speaker 1: to that one man for being a scammer. You know.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I don't like that he was abusing the baby and
- 13:06Speaker 1: the dog. That that's not good. He's not that guy
- 13:08Speaker 1: with on herne. But at least you saved the dog,
- 13:10Speaker 1: so okay. Apparently there's a lot of designer dogs, like
- 13:15Speaker 1: people are getting scammed by getting these kind of like
- 13:18Speaker 1: small never shed, hyperaalogenic dogs. But the problem is that's
- 13:22Speaker 1: not how genetics work. So anyone who's like one hundred
- 13:25Speaker 1: percent guaranteeing that this dog won't shed, it's hyperalogenic. It's
- 13:28Speaker 1: pure like they're probably lying. And then the last scam
- 13:32Speaker 1: that they talk about here is they said, I have
- 13:33Speaker 1: a friend, let's call her Marcie, who was getting frustrated
- 13:36Speaker 1: looking for a dog. After months you couldn't find any dogs.
- 13:38Speaker 1: You know that we're working out for her. I'm gonna
- 13:40Speaker 1: skip a little bit of this a lot of words.
- 13:43Speaker 1: She broke down and decided to buy a mini Assy Doodle.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Shout out to Judas are super producer. She said that
- 13:49Speaker 1: it's a mixture. Oscid doodle is a mixture of an
- 13:51Speaker 1: Australian shepherd dog and a poodle. And I love the
- 13:56Speaker 1: cute names they come up with, Ossi doodle. That sounds good.
- 13:59Speaker 1: I want one. So it sounded real at first. But
- 14:01Speaker 1: there were some red flags. Okay, guys, just another update
- 14:04Speaker 1: on red flags. There's no such thing as flag as
- 14:07Speaker 1: a it's one flag. When you see a flag, you leave.
- 14:12Speaker 1: It's not plural. Okay.
- 14:15Speaker 2: People like will experience like a color guard of flags
- 14:18Speaker 2: and then they'll just be like, I know, and I
- 14:20Speaker 2: didn't realize.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I'm like, Broy, you had the Grand Prix like that.
- 14:24Speaker 1: We've seen some flags, okay, like come on now, So
- 14:27Speaker 1: I just want to say, guys, red flags is just one.
- 14:30Speaker 1: When you see the one, just trust that you've been
- 14:32Speaker 1: alive long enough that you know what's on the other side.
- 14:35Speaker 1: And if you're young listening to this podcast, you don't
- 14:37Speaker 1: have to buy all the wisdom, okay, Like, why buy
- 14:40Speaker 1: wisdom that's already paid for. I'm telling you one red flag. Leave,
- 14:43Speaker 1: it's too many people on the planet. Let it go.
- 14:45Speaker 2: That's great.
- 14:46Speaker 1: So there were some red flags, plural. So first, and
- 14:53Speaker 1: this is always how desperate you are. Obviously, this woman's
- 14:55Speaker 1: been looking for a dog for a long time. It
- 14:56Speaker 1: hasn't been working out. Her desperation is hi, she's parched
- 15:00Speaker 1: his thirst day, it's aird got it. So first, the
- 15:05Speaker 1: breeder never let her see home, like the home of
- 15:08Speaker 1: like where the dogs were. She never saw where the
- 15:11Speaker 1: dogs were bred or the puppies in person before the sale.
- 15:14Speaker 1: She also took deposits before the friend could see the puppies.
- 15:18Speaker 1: She also had to do a sketchy money exchange to
- 15:20Speaker 1: pick up the puppy on the side of a highway,
- 15:24Speaker 1: not the highway, y'all couldn't go to xibor Wendy's. At
- 15:30Speaker 1: the highway, I found people selling the puppies outside of
- 15:33Speaker 1: a hop, not cars. Wasn't by that's really all the mistakes.
- 15:39Speaker 2: That's dangerous. Yeah, right for.
- 15:41Speaker 1: The what did the puppy jump out of somebody's hands
- 15:44Speaker 1: so he rode here?
- 15:45Speaker 2: They don't know what they're doing so.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Bad, so said. My friend ignored all of this because
- 15:49Speaker 1: she wanted the dogs so badly, and she kept telling
- 15:51Speaker 1: herself that maybe the weirdness was just because of the pandemic.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Sure Enough, when she took the puppy to the vet,
- 15:56Speaker 1: she found out the dog was definitely not a mini
- 15:58Speaker 1: Alsol duel and was likely to grow big and wood shit,
- 16:02Speaker 1: and the breeder blocked all her calls and disappeared, running
- 16:05Speaker 1: off with thousands and thousands of dollars of my friend's money.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Oh wow, guys.
- 16:12Speaker 1: That doesn't matter.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Great, and they're in Canada or no, that's just there's
- 16:15Speaker 2: just a that's just another dog scam.
- 16:17Speaker 1: This one has to probably be in Canada because the
- 16:20Speaker 1: person Jerry Jerry originally was from Canada. So Jerry was
- 16:23Speaker 1: talking about a lot of different dog scams in general,
- 16:26Speaker 1: which I was like, these are good to update you
- 16:27Speaker 1: guys on. But also I think the friend was in Canada.
- 16:31Speaker 1: See that's the hard thing. I really want a dog,
- 16:33Speaker 1: but I want like a shitsu that's like basically a
- 16:36Speaker 1: cat like my parents have. But my dog's already spayed
- 16:39Speaker 1: at home, and like my parents won't let me steal her,
- 16:42Speaker 1: so I have to like find a chill puppy that's
- 16:45Speaker 1: like okay with like me working a lot and like
- 16:48Speaker 1: hates what dogs.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Are okay with you working at I mean because you're
- 16:51Speaker 2: working from home, right, they'll just sit on your feet. Yeah,
- 16:55Speaker 2: they love that. I feel like dogs have loved COVID
- 16:58Speaker 2: because all their owners are with them all the time.
- 17:01Speaker 1: All right. I feel like it's the opposite for cats,
- 17:03Speaker 1: Like but you're still.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Here to ask out do you have food?
- 17:08Speaker 1: Or what? Bitch? What is he?
- 17:09Speaker 2: Oh?
- 17:13Speaker 1: I saw some funny instagram I can't remember the TikTok,
- 17:16Speaker 1: but it was like about cats versus dogs seeing you
- 17:19Speaker 1: and like dogs coming home.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Like hey, what you do?
- 17:21Speaker 1: How's your day? The cat was like you a gambit?
- 17:25Speaker 1: All right? Thought you died? Okay, you bring food? So yes,
- 17:33Speaker 1: scalf and it's time for my favorite portion of the show,
- 17:40Speaker 1: historic hoodwinks. This is when we will regale Tracy with
- 17:43Speaker 1: an interesting con or caper or charlatan and we'll just
- 17:45Speaker 1: get her opinions throughout. And guys, I want you to
- 17:48Speaker 1: know like Tracy was, like, I was trying to get
- 17:51Speaker 1: Tracy so bad. She was booked and busy. She was
- 17:53Speaker 1: unavailable for the Hilario Baldwin episode. Because this woman did
- 17:58Speaker 1: the Lord's work on inst them. I've never seen an
- 18:01Speaker 1: Instagram dive so amazing. It was so good. So I
- 18:07Speaker 1: tried to bring you some mess, some tea. You know.
- 18:09Speaker 1: That's also pretty fun for us to get into today.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Excited.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Yes, so today and guys, y'all tagged me up and down.
- 18:17Speaker 1: You emailed me that you texted me. You're called like
- 18:20Speaker 1: goddamn about the scam and I got you. So we're
- 18:24Speaker 1: talking today about a Japanese man who was arrested for
- 18:27Speaker 1: scamming his thirty five girlfriends, which, yes, thirty five. Have
- 18:31Speaker 1: you heard about the story?
- 18:32Speaker 2: Wow? No, I have not.
- 18:34Speaker 1: So. Takashi Miagawa was recently arrested in Osaka, Japan, for
- 18:38Speaker 1: defrauding at least thirty five women, all of whom were
- 18:41Speaker 1: manipulated into believing that they were each in a serious
- 18:45Speaker 1: and monogamous relationship with him.
- 18:48Speaker 2: How did you have the time?
- 18:49Speaker 1: Wow, that's what I'm saying, Like this this man, let's
- 18:53Speaker 1: just talk about time management because he's a kid.
- 18:57Speaker 2: That's not even one. I mean, that's you can't even
- 18:59Speaker 2: do a whole day with someone because it's thirty five
- 19:02Speaker 2: not enough time in the month.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to plan some fake vacations for some
- 19:06Speaker 1: of them. You definitely got to have an Excel spreadsheet,
- 19:09Speaker 1: like you gotta put facts down about him, like this
- 19:14Speaker 1: one's mom's name is this his last name is that
- 19:17Speaker 1: we met here? Like I would need a whole journal
- 19:19Speaker 1: diary assistant.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty five people, that's a lot.
- 19:25Speaker 1: That's a lot. So Takashi is a thirty nine year
- 19:29Speaker 1: old part time Oh well, I'm sure you are part
- 19:31Speaker 1: time because you can't be full time with thirty five
- 19:33Speaker 1: girlfriends with no fixed address. So he's a part time worker.
- 19:38Speaker 1: He's thirty nine years old and does not have a
- 19:40Speaker 1: fixed address. Transient sound transient sounds scammy to me. I
- 19:45Speaker 1: love that wherever he is, there he is, and that's
- 19:49Speaker 1: where he lives and I love it. I love this
- 19:54Speaker 1: for him. So Takashi worked for a multi level marketing company. Wow,
- 19:59Speaker 1: he a scammer, all of course. Of course I'm proud
- 20:02Speaker 1: of him already. So he's mostly sold hydrogen water shower
- 20:07Speaker 1: heads and other equipment at company showroom in Kansai, like,
- 20:12Speaker 1: which is like a region in southern Japan Kenzai probably,
- 20:15Speaker 1: So usually he met his victims at the store. He
- 20:19Speaker 1: especially targeted older single women that appeared vulnerable to him
- 20:23Speaker 1: and told them that he wanted to get married. Wow. Geez,
- 20:28Speaker 1: so you come in here, you just think you're getting
- 20:30Speaker 1: a hydro shower head from a scammy company, and here's
- 20:33Speaker 1: Sakashi in the corner trying to sell you his dick
- 20:36Speaker 1: in marriage. Wow. Not only did he manage to attain
- 20:43Speaker 1: multiple birthday presents from the unsuspecting women, he also sold
- 20:47Speaker 1: them a number of shower heads while maintaining personal profits.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So wow, he was getting them from both sides. He
- 20:53Speaker 1: was like, oh, sis, you're so sexy, let me get
- 20:56Speaker 1: your number. Also, by the shower showerheads was the MLM.
- 21:01Speaker 1: So was he trying to recruit them to be like
- 21:03Speaker 1: his downstream or downline whatever it's called. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 21:06Speaker 1: it's the downline, because there's like the upline and then
- 21:08Speaker 1: the Yeah. I'm not exactly sure because in this multi
- 21:13Speaker 1: level marketing scheme, it seems as if he's on a
- 21:15Speaker 1: showroom selling these shower heads. I don't understand how unless
- 21:18Speaker 1: he was trying to rope them into selling shower heads
- 21:21Speaker 1: with him, because it's not like a showerhead is like
- 21:23Speaker 1: you know, face cream or something where you start buying
- 21:25Speaker 1: one thing and then you know, or like herbal life
- 21:28Speaker 1: where you buy one Yeah, you buy one shake, you
- 21:30Speaker 1: buy more shakes.
- 21:30Speaker 2: You usually set when you have one showerhead, you're fine. Yeah.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I don't see myself going through minute shower heads a year.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I guess it depends on what you're doing with them.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Latest just thinking that.
- 21:44Speaker 1: You're riding them like django. Then maybe maybe shower head.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Every few weeks.
- 21:51Speaker 1: But that's an interesting question. Let's say we get to
- 21:53Speaker 1: the bottom of that. But all the while, his goals,
- 21:56Speaker 1: apparently blinded by love, were completely oblivious to each other's existence,
- 22:00Speaker 1: because he would meet them selling the showerheads, flirted up,
- 22:03Speaker 1: then start a romantic relationship with each one under the
- 22:05Speaker 1: assumption that marriage was in the cards. Wow, and I
- 22:11Speaker 1: mean like, if you're an older woman, was there a ring?
- 22:15Speaker 2: Were there rings?
- 22:16Speaker 1: Yeah? See, that's that's interesting because I think what he's
- 22:19Speaker 1: saying is like, I am looking to get married, which
- 22:21Speaker 1: I'm sure as a woman of you know, a certain
- 22:25Speaker 1: age age, you deal with a lot of men. Not either.
- 22:28Speaker 1: If a man is above a certain age and they're single,
- 22:32Speaker 1: they're usually like toxic unless they're just fresh exactly.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Like why aren't you taken?
- 22:37Speaker 1: Like maybe what's wrong with you? But lots of single
- 22:41Speaker 1: women who are above a certain age and then you'd
- 22:43Speaker 1: be like, oh, that bitch is just rich, Like.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Wow, okay, exactly exactly. She's like, she's very well educated
- 22:52Speaker 2: and is self sufficient.
- 22:54Speaker 1: But she sell businesses. That's why she's alone. No one
- 22:58Speaker 1: wants to love a woman with business. How dare you?
- 23:01Speaker 1: Your home is your own name?
- 23:02Speaker 2: Just you?
- 23:03Speaker 1: Okay? Filthy wins right, So you know she's probably on
- 23:11Speaker 1: her divorce of whatever trash ass man she married when
- 23:13Speaker 1: she was younger. So an intentional man, I'm sure is
- 23:17Speaker 1: very appealing. Like that would be appealing to me.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I'm like, oh, you're you're looking for love totally.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I don't think I've met a man like ever that
- 23:27Speaker 2: was like, I'm open to marriage. I don't know if
- 23:30Speaker 2: I've ever met someone that's even I've been married. I'm thinking.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Say that. Listen, we have been conditioned, we have all
- 23:41Speaker 1: been scammed by morom coms and everywhere else to think
- 23:44Speaker 1: that men need to be tricked and hit over the
- 23:46Speaker 1: head to get married. Like yeah, Like it's always the
- 23:51Speaker 1: toxic bachelor who was like, hey, you and me, we're friends,
- 23:55Speaker 1: let's start fucking with It's like, no, we've been in
- 23:57Speaker 1: love for ten years, been marry me, and then by
- 24:00Speaker 1: the end, you know, he get a concussion and then
- 24:03Speaker 1: somehow he get married. What So he's playing a smart
- 24:09Speaker 1: game here. I feel so bad. He told each of
- 24:12Speaker 1: the girlfriends that his birthday fell on a different date
- 24:15Speaker 1: so he could receive oodles of gifts, not oodles. I
- 24:22Speaker 1: haven't heard oodles as a quantifying term in so long.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Oodles of gifts, okay. So, according to a Japanese news
- 24:29Speaker 1: outlet MBS News, Takashi told one forty seven year old
- 24:35Speaker 1: girlfriend that his birthday was on February twenty second, but
- 24:37Speaker 1: said to another forty year old woman that his birthday
- 24:39Speaker 1: was in July. Another thirty five year old woman thought
- 24:42Speaker 1: Takasha's birthday was in April. His actual birthday is November thirteenth.
- 24:46Speaker 1: According to reports, a scorpio.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Should know, we should know.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Well, we know how y'all do? Yes, scorpios, I'm dragging y'all.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Last week I was dragging what more than listeners? Everyone
- 24:58Speaker 1: will get dragged scorpios. Y'all know, y'all bad people. Come
- 25:02Speaker 1: on now, I'm playing one of my best friends in
- 25:06Speaker 1: a scorpio.
- 25:07Speaker 2: So I love y'all's geminis right, listen, my daddy's you know,
- 25:12Speaker 2: is he duality?
- 25:14Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't see that half. I only
- 25:18Speaker 1: see nice daddy face. So could he be committing murders?
- 25:23Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 25:24Speaker 2: You know, what's your sign?
- 25:26Speaker 1: I'm a cancer, which people usually don't get from me.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It's like I'm like, I'm a librerizing aries moon, Okay, yeah,
- 25:35Speaker 1: leo venus.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I would see, I would. I would totally say
- 25:38Speaker 2: aries for you.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Yeah. My mom has a very strong personality, and she
- 25:42Speaker 1: crushed out a lot of the emotion of me at childhood.
- 25:48Speaker 1: I'll never forget the first time I went to New York.
- 25:50Speaker 1: We were walking the streets and you know, I'm twelve,
- 25:53Speaker 1: I'm like looking around like a New y'all, and my
- 25:57Speaker 1: mom like hits me on my shoulder. She goes, stop
- 25:59Speaker 1: looking around, you get us robbed. She's like, YO, cut
- 26:06Speaker 1: it out on that whimsible shit. I suck up. She
- 26:10Speaker 1: wasn't wrong, you know, learn from an early age. Don't
- 26:13Speaker 1: look like a tourist anywhere you go, guys, don't look.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Like a tourist totally, because there's scams. There's that're like
- 26:20Speaker 2: like regulars, like the glasses scam. You know, the glasses scam. No,
- 26:24Speaker 2: it's like, oh, if somebody like if you're getting on
- 26:28Speaker 2: the subway or getting off the subway or like whatever,
- 26:30Speaker 2: you're like you're not passing someone by on the platform,
- 26:33Speaker 2: they like bump into you and then their glasses fall
- 26:36Speaker 2: on the ground and they're broken. And the thing is
- 26:39Speaker 2: that they've already had broken glasses and they drop them
- 26:42Speaker 2: and then they're like these were one hundred and forty dollars,
- 26:44Speaker 2: like you owe me money, and then they'll like follow
- 26:47Speaker 2: you and you know, they try to get you to
- 26:49Speaker 2: pay for the glasses. Yeah, it's a glasses scam, guys.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You hear that in New York City.
- 26:54Speaker 2: It's one of the oldest ones.
- 26:56Speaker 1: That sounds like an oldie people still do it though,
- 26:58Speaker 1: Like I've definitely seen the like you trap you into
- 27:01Speaker 1: purchasing things, but the glasses being a unique one, because
- 27:04Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they could be like these weren't these
- 27:06Speaker 1: are Chanelle or Warbie Parker whoever's got the expensive glasses?
- 27:10Speaker 1: I guess Warby is cheaper. But yeah, that's such a
- 27:13Speaker 1: good scam. No, I actually had you that bank you
- 27:15Speaker 1: Tracy see Less.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Yeah, or a wine bottle, expensive wine bottle, same scam.
- 27:19Speaker 2: But they'll do with a wine bottle and they'll drop
- 27:21Speaker 2: it and they're like, that was an eighty dollars bottle
- 27:23Speaker 2: of wine. I'm going to someone's house. How could you
- 27:26Speaker 2: blah blah blah, so you.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Can buy it.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Here's the thing. If someone can buy an eighty dollars
- 27:30Speaker 2: bottle of wine, they're not taking the subway right.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Also, if they can buy an eighty dollars bottle of wine,
- 27:35Speaker 1: they better be able to buy another eighty dollars bottle
- 27:37Speaker 1: of wine. I would hope you did it. Just was
- 27:41Speaker 1: like this my last eight hit, give me the cabinet,
- 27:46Speaker 1: Like why why you shouldn't be purchasing cabernet if you
- 27:52Speaker 1: can't afford it. But yeah, that's a good point. And
- 27:55Speaker 1: all of those things involve urgency too, because then it's like, oh,
- 27:58Speaker 1: we're on the subway, like you need to give me
- 27:59Speaker 1: this money right now. Like yeah, So I always say, guys,
- 28:01Speaker 1: anywhere you go traveling, like I look, I love me.
- 28:04Speaker 1: I love New York T shirt like the next bitch,
- 28:07Speaker 1: but like, buy it and give it to your Midwestern
- 28:09Speaker 1: family when you get home. Don't wear that shit. Don't
- 28:11Speaker 1: look like a tourist, because I promise you people target tourists.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Hell yeah, especially in big cities. But okay, so you
- 28:19Speaker 1: know he's a scorpio, so it's fine. You know, some
- 28:28Speaker 1: people loving some people hate it, but they know it's
- 28:30Speaker 1: gonna happen. So it's unclear how exactly the scam unraveled,
- 28:34Speaker 1: but in February, many of the women banded together to
- 28:37Speaker 1: form a victim association. No, these bitches did not incorporate
- 28:40Speaker 1: all your motherfucking ask Takashi. Oh they made an LLC,
- 28:45Speaker 1: they made a sorority.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Oh my god, they unionized.
- 28:51Speaker 1: They unionized. They they got on the picket line. They said,
- 28:55Speaker 1: no more Takashi, No six. I gotta know. Oh, oh yes,
- 29:01Speaker 1: I love this. See this is why you can't deal.
- 29:03Speaker 1: You were dealing with bad bitches who obviously had at
- 29:05Speaker 1: least a little bit of coin. And they're older. Oh,
- 29:07Speaker 1: they're about to mighty morphing.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Okay, they've seen some stuff.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yeah they say a symbol, and I love that for them.
- 29:18Speaker 1: So once they had gathered enough evidence, so they went
- 29:22Speaker 1: to get evidence. I love this, I love this. I
- 29:24Speaker 1: want the movie. I want this movie. I'm a get involved.
- 29:29Speaker 1: So once they gathered enough evidence, they went to the
- 29:31Speaker 1: police and reported him. The police report claimed that they
- 29:34Speaker 1: had been defrauded up one hundred thousand Japanese yen almost
- 29:37Speaker 1: a thousand dollars. Okay, it sounded like a lot more
- 29:39Speaker 1: a yen, but okay one gram?
- 29:42Speaker 2: Yeah did it?
- 29:43Speaker 1: Did y'all going.
- 29:44Speaker 2: After this man for a stack thousand dollars? Is that
- 29:47Speaker 2: necessarily fraud? A collective stack?
- 29:54Speaker 1: He got all of y'all, and in combination it was
- 29:56Speaker 1: one thousand dollars.
- 29:58Speaker 2: It's like maybe like three Wait, what is thirty five
- 30:01Speaker 2: into one thousand? I'm not like good at math? Oh right, calculator, Yeah,
- 30:06Speaker 2: what's math? Thirty five?
- 30:09Speaker 1: No?
- 30:09Speaker 2: Could it be twenty eight? Dollars.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, twenty eight.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Twenty eight fifty seven.
- 30:16Speaker 1: So I guess some of the birthday gifts were cheaper
- 30:20Speaker 1: than others, cause I'm like, y'all, y'all really made an association,
- 30:24Speaker 1: gathered evidence. You probably spent more time than you did
- 30:27Speaker 1: money trying to take down Takashi.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Yeah, but also he's not that efficient of a scammer
- 30:33Speaker 2: if he only got that much out of them.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean maybe he also sold them some
- 30:38Speaker 1: shower heads and they're not computing that.
- 30:40Speaker 2: They must have been pissed, yeah, because he must have
- 30:43Speaker 2: just really played with their emotions.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Yeah, this sounds like more of like a revenge of
- 30:46Speaker 1: pettiness than like they actually want the monetary. Yeah, it's
- 30:50Speaker 1: a love scam. So the gifts varied from electronics to clothing,
- 30:54Speaker 1: including an almost two hundred and eighty dollars suit, So
- 30:57Speaker 1: some of them probably paid more. And I bet you
- 30:59Speaker 1: those girls, the ones leading the way, like whoever paid
- 31:01Speaker 1: Vanesse suit was like, Oh no, girls, we're gonna get him.
- 31:04Speaker 1: You're gonna get your twenty yet, Batty, you're gonna get
- 31:05Speaker 1: your ten ninety nine. I'm gonna get my twin. Everyone's
- 31:11Speaker 1: getting kaid Okay, Oh, y'all went to McDonald's and he
- 31:14Speaker 1: made you pick it up Gray four eighty. We putting
- 31:16Speaker 1: it in. Okay, we're gonna get it back. There's someone
- 31:21Speaker 1: petty at the helm of this, and I love that
- 31:23Speaker 1: for them. So, in an interview with NBS News, one
- 31:26Speaker 1: of Takashi's victims said that he had told her that
- 31:28Speaker 1: he was serious about their relationship and wanted to be
- 31:31Speaker 1: with her forever. H Well, this is dangerous. You never know.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Somebody could snap. You could be catching somebody on their
- 31:41Speaker 1: last Some people have been fucked over so much in
- 31:43Speaker 1: life that you know you might have caught them on
- 31:45Speaker 1: their last draw and then next thing you know, they're
- 31:47Speaker 1: following you or you know, trying to harm you. This
- 31:50Speaker 1: is not wise. No, yeah, So one woman told the
- 31:54Speaker 1: news that he kissed her on the second date. She said,
- 31:59Speaker 1: I told him, I don't want to do that unless
- 32:01Speaker 1: you're someone who wants to get married or really be
- 32:04Speaker 1: with me in the future. Takasha responded, I'm serious, I'm
- 32:07Speaker 1: gonna be with you for the rest of my life.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Yo.
- 32:10Speaker 1: This man is a sociopath.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I feel like that's when you know, that's when you
- 32:14Speaker 2: know some a man is lying to you. If he
- 32:16Speaker 2: says that on the second date, yeah, yeah, there's no
- 32:22Speaker 2: there's something wrong with him. He's either a liar or
- 32:25Speaker 2: he's a total whack job.

- 37:27Speaker 1: that was excellent, excellent reporting. I hope you get some awards. King,
- 37:31Speaker 1: So this bizarre video. Basically Twitter was amazed by this
- 37:37Speaker 1: crime right. One Twitter user wrote, are you aiming for
- 37:40Speaker 1: a Guinness World Record? Another one said he's a skillful
- 37:43Speaker 1: and diligent man. What a great talent. It's not possible
- 37:46Speaker 1: to do this unless you can remember personalities, names, jobs,
- 37:49Speaker 1: and preferences of thirty five people. That's true. And one
- 37:52Speaker 1: tweet said, with thirty five people, if he was seeing
- 37:55Speaker 1: one person a day, that means he could only meet
- 37:57Speaker 1: one woman once every thirty five days. If he met
- 38:00Speaker 1: two women or two to three women a day, then
- 38:02Speaker 1: he could see them every two weeks. Did he treat
- 38:04Speaker 1: dating like juggling or a different part time job? Yes,
- 38:08Speaker 1: he did.
- 38:08Speaker 2: I can't even remember, like I can't remember things about
- 38:13Speaker 2: like my my really like great, my really good friends,
- 38:16Speaker 2: you know that I've known for so long, Like I
- 38:18Speaker 2: get things jumbled in my head. They're like dating thirty
- 38:22Speaker 2: five people is like that's a nightmare.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to have something wrong with you, something
- 38:27Speaker 1: at least that delights in tricking people. Which that's a thing.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Like a lot of scammers people think like, oh, it's
- 38:32Speaker 1: just about the money, and they make a lot of
- 38:34Speaker 1: money and they don't quit, and people wonder why they
- 38:36Speaker 1: don't pull out the game, And I'm like, because it
- 38:37Speaker 1: was never about the money, Like some people are really
- 38:39Speaker 1: passionate about fraud.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Believing a lot. I feel like he was probably like
- 38:46Speaker 2: a really good texter, and I bet that he just
- 38:49Speaker 2: like was texting constantly with these women and he didn't
- 38:52Speaker 2: want to be ever like alone with his thoughts, Like
- 38:55Speaker 2: he just wanted to always be like having someone to
- 38:57Speaker 2: respond to him. Like that might have been like a
- 39:00Speaker 2: component of it, Yeah, yeah.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Because what he got out of it. Yeah, And then
- 39:04Speaker 1: that kind of makes the birthday thing makes sense because
- 39:06Speaker 1: it's not like the gifts that he got equated to
- 39:08Speaker 1: that much money, but it is that attention. It's your birthday,
- 39:11Speaker 1: like almost what at least once a month, twice a month.
- 39:14Speaker 2: He wants them to sing for him, and he wants
- 39:17Speaker 2: to blow out the candles. He wants everyone in the
- 39:19Speaker 2: restaurant to look.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Yeah, Takash, she never had a birthday. That's why he's
- 39:25Speaker 1: like this. I'm trying to give a story. That's the backstory. Yeah,
- 39:30Speaker 1: that's what it was. Yeah, no cake for you to
- 39:33Speaker 1: cash you well, and they're coming down on him. They're
- 39:35Speaker 1: trying to punish him with some kind of you know,
- 39:37Speaker 1: I don't know how this breaks the law, but perhaps
- 39:39Speaker 1: in Japan it does because the authorities are after him, so, uh,
- 39:43Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how that develops.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Oh my god, it'd be incredible if it's illegal to
- 39:47Speaker 2: lie to women in Japan, Like what did you imagine?
- 39:52Speaker 1: Every man in the US will be under the jail.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Like That's what I love about Mariah Carey when she
- 39:58Speaker 2: sued James Packard for for wasting her time for fifty
- 40:02Speaker 2: million dollars and he's settled with her.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Her time is worth that much money. It really is relocated.
- 40:11Speaker 2: Her family, she uprooted her lie. I mean that's a
- 40:14Speaker 2: big expense.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean next to Jesus Christ, who are
- 40:18Speaker 1: we celebrating during Christmas. That's a whole you know what
- 40:20Speaker 1: I mean? Like she owns the holidays of Christmas. Ry
- 40:23Speaker 1: f is a woman, you know exactly Honestly, she might
- 40:26Speaker 1: be making more money than Jesus on Christmas, like.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Mariah is the reason for the season now.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Right, So I applauded her for that. I wish I
- 40:37Speaker 1: could assume it for wasting my time.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Oh my god, me too. But I only I don't
- 40:42Speaker 2: think guys who are billionaires unfortunately.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Right, not yet. I'm gonna I'm gonna start trying.
- 40:49Speaker 2: I interviewed the rapper Trina once like fifteen years ago,
- 40:53Speaker 2: and I was like, Trina, how do I meet guys
- 40:55Speaker 2: that have a lot of money? And she told me
- 40:57Speaker 2: that I need to go to parties on boats. Wow,
- 41:01Speaker 2: that's how you meet guys with a lot of money.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Go to a party on a boat.
- 41:05Speaker 1: You heard it here first, guys, And I'm mouth to
- 41:07Speaker 1: be on every boat party now, okay, Well, my best,
- 41:11Speaker 1: my best fashions and lashes. Trying to catch me a
- 41:15Speaker 1: billionaire to ruin the planet with. I fully shift. I'm

- 41:22Speaker 1: don't tell you billionaires are hurting two guys. We're hurting
- 41:26Speaker 1: two full monster and it's time for Scammer of the week.
- 41:32Speaker 1: This is where we highlight one charlatan that we just
- 41:34Speaker 1: think is worthy of our praise. Maybe not Tracy, maybe
- 41:36Speaker 1: will hate them. I'm not sure we'll see. So scammer
- 41:40Speaker 1: of the week is Seth Andrew, who served in the
- 41:41Speaker 1: Obama administration and stole more than two hundred thousand dollars
- 41:45Speaker 1: to help him buy a two million dollar Manhattan apartment.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Prosecutors said, wow, So, Seth was a former senior advisor
- 41:52Speaker 1: in the Obama administration. He was arrested on charges that
- 41:55Speaker 1: he sold more than two hundred thousand dollars from schools
- 41:57Speaker 1: that he founded. So he founded this and then he
- 42:01Speaker 1: founded the money from them.
- 42:05Speaker 2: He tell me where they kept it?
- 42:07Speaker 1: Right, he found it, where they kept the money. You know,
- 42:12Speaker 1: he discovered it. He took it away him. You know,
- 42:14Speaker 1: he just made a discovery. So he used that money
- 42:17Speaker 1: to get a lower interest rate on a mortgage for
- 42:19Speaker 1: the Manhattan apartment. Set is forty two, and he's accused
- 42:21Speaker 1: of taking money from bank accounts controlled by Democracy Prep
- 42:24Speaker 1: public Schools, which teaches mostly low income students of color.
- 42:28Speaker 1: In New York and other states and used it to
- 42:31Speaker 1: purchase a two million dollar apartment. All right, said we'll
- 42:34Speaker 1: fuck with your ass if you hastaw all this from
- 42:37Speaker 1: the gossip Girl bitches up on East you know, on
- 42:40Speaker 1: the Upper East Side. If this was an XO XOACI scam,
- 42:45Speaker 1: I would have been like, sure, they don't need all
- 42:46Speaker 1: that money, but you're stealing from low income schools.
- 42:49Speaker 2: That already don't have money. Like what, I just want
- 42:52Speaker 2: to I just want to put it out there that like,
- 42:55Speaker 2: and this will sound I don't know if this sounds
- 42:58Speaker 2: bad or whatever, but like a two million dollar apartment
- 43:00Speaker 2: in New York City, that's not that's like a that's
- 43:03Speaker 2: like a two bedroom, right, It's not like, yeah, it's
- 43:07Speaker 2: not worth it. It's not worth like going to jail for.
- 43:10Speaker 2: It's not like it's not like a mansion. It's not
- 43:12Speaker 2: like you can't even like, you know, fully have a family.
- 43:15Speaker 2: There's it probably doesn't even have a view, depending on
- 43:17Speaker 2: where it is, you know, it might even be in
- 43:19Speaker 2: a walk up.
- 43:21Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because it's you know, for
- 43:23Speaker 1: those of you guys who are listening, you're not living
- 43:25Speaker 1: in New York City or not living in Los Angeles, California. Like,
- 43:28Speaker 1: the housing market here is so astronomical that I've seen
- 43:31Speaker 1: apartments that were six hundred square feet for two million
- 43:35Speaker 1: dollars and I was like, oh, bit crazy playing with me.
- 43:40Speaker 1: So this is not a lot for the area that
- 43:43Speaker 1: he's living in. And it's also like, bruh, what makes
- 43:45Speaker 1: you think you deserve to live in a two million
- 43:48Speaker 1: dollar Manhattan apartment that you can't bucking a board?
- 43:51Speaker 2: Like yeah, Like that just means he's like feels like
- 43:54Speaker 2: he's too good enough. He's he's he's too good to like,
- 43:57Speaker 2: you know, live in a studio or whatever. He's like,
- 44:00Speaker 2: I need to level up to a two bedroom, then
- 44:03Speaker 2: I need to own it.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Right, Like, I worked for the Obama administration, so I
- 44:08Speaker 1: deserve these things.
- 44:09Speaker 2: And this what worked you for the Obama administration? Does
- 44:11Speaker 2: it say other than crime?
- 44:14Speaker 1: He helped create the network of charter schools in two thousand
- 44:17Speaker 1: and five, and he left the network in twenty thirteen
- 44:20Speaker 1: for a job at the US Department of Education.
- 44:23Speaker 2: So he sold out.
- 44:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so he kind of you know, went to a
- 44:26Speaker 1: bigger job. When he worked at the White House, he
- 44:28Speaker 1: continued to be paid by the Charter school Network, So
- 44:30Speaker 1: he did all this robbing before he took the White
- 44:33Speaker 1: House job, but then continued to be on payroll for
- 44:36Speaker 1: the charter school network afterwards. He used his former association
- 44:41Speaker 1: with the charter schools to steal two hundred and eighteen
- 44:43Speaker 1: thousand dollars by using his email address affiliated with the
- 44:47Speaker 1: schools to email a blank employee and convince them that
- 44:50Speaker 1: he was still associated with the school, which he was not.
- 44:53Speaker 1: FBI agent, William F. Sweeney Junior, What a name? William
- 44:59Speaker 1: f's ueen a junior? I don't know. Are you a scammer?
- 45:02Speaker 1: William F. Sweeney? What kind of name is that? So
- 45:05Speaker 1: he said today, Andrew himself is learning one of life's
- 45:08Speaker 1: most basic lessons. What doesn't belong to you is not
- 45:11Speaker 1: yours for the taking. Okay, FBI, let's not get it
- 45:14Speaker 1: all preachy, y'all. Mofuckers are shady as fuck, Like, come
- 45:18Speaker 1: on out. It's like if the Klan caught like a
- 45:22Speaker 1: bomber and was like, now, what he learned today is
- 45:25Speaker 1: hurting innocent people is wrong.
- 45:27Speaker 2: It's like exactly still the Klan, like, come on exactly.
- 45:32Speaker 1: So, according to the Charts School's website, Seth Andrew found
- 45:35Speaker 1: a democracy prep in two thousand and five to ensure
- 45:37Speaker 1: that every single student will work hard to go to
- 45:39Speaker 1: college and change the world. The phrase change the world
- 45:43Speaker 1: is on the back of the yellow baseball cap that
- 45:46Speaker 1: Seth made a part of his signature. Look, and now
- 45:49Speaker 1: we have a picture of him with his baseball cap.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Now here's what I will say. I haven't seen the
- 45:54Speaker 1: front of Seth's head, but I can tell he's a
- 45:56Speaker 1: white man. He's got a full head of hair. How
- 45:59Speaker 1: tall is he because you know, white man plus tall
- 46:02Speaker 1: and full head of hair equals charismatic.
- 46:08Speaker 2: But I don't know if he's wearing hats all the time,
- 46:10Speaker 2: it might be there might be uh, he might be receding.
- 46:13Speaker 1: You think he might be receding, Okay, because it's very
- 46:16Speaker 1: thick to be some times.
- 46:18Speaker 2: No, sometimes guys have like really thick hair on the
- 46:21Speaker 2: bottom and then there's just like nothing up here, or
- 46:24Speaker 2: it's like very very thin, or like they have like
- 46:27Speaker 2: it starts to go back and like the two triangle.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the too little yeah where they drive backwards. Yeah,
- 46:34Speaker 1: which guys, Look, hair comes, ghost comes goes. For women
- 46:37Speaker 1: to be proud of your ball, just shint it up
- 46:39Speaker 1: mister Clain's sexiest. Fuck you don't gotta hold on too tight.
- 46:43Speaker 1: But I think the bigger point of this picture is
- 46:46Speaker 1: like he's wearing this cap. This has changed the world,
- 46:48Speaker 1: and it's kind of got a blurred out background of
- 46:50Speaker 1: like black and brown kids, like you can tell you
- 46:52Speaker 1: can see their skin colors. It's just so gross to
- 46:55Speaker 1: me that this man and this is the thing about
- 46:57Speaker 1: liberals and the thing that we're no longer scammed by
- 47:00Speaker 1: this liberal thing. Like we know there's racism on both sides,
- 47:04Speaker 1: it's a lot more on the Republican side. Let's not
- 47:06Speaker 1: act like the Democrats aren't doing bullshit as well. We
- 47:08Speaker 1: got Nancy Pelosi thanking George Floyd for sacrifice his life
- 47:11Speaker 1: like he Jesus. George Floyd wasn't Jesus. He didn't want
- 47:13Speaker 1: to sacrifice his life for his country for y'all raggedy
- 47:16Speaker 1: bitches like please don't make him Jesus. No black person
- 47:20Speaker 1: alive today is trying to be like, oh, one day,
- 47:22Speaker 1: I hope that I sacrificed my life for freedom to freedom.
- 47:26Speaker 2: No, my god, Yeah, it was a disgusting thing to say,
- 47:30Speaker 2: but you see it again with this guy.
- 47:32Speaker 1: He's supposed to be helping black and brown children. Instead,
- 47:34Speaker 1: he's stealing from him so he could get a nice
- 47:36Speaker 1: apartment that he can't afford.
- 47:37Speaker 2: I'm the opportunist. I feel like the scam is part
- 47:41Speaker 2: of the hat. I mean the I mean the hat
- 47:42Speaker 2: is part of the scam, because he has a hat
- 47:45Speaker 2: on in every single one of these pictures. He's absolutely baldings.
- 47:48Speaker 2: He's hiding his balding fishing us. He's hot fishing, because
- 47:54Speaker 2: who wears.
- 47:54Speaker 1: A hat with a suit like he's trying to make
- 47:56Speaker 1: the hat change? What are you in this soup for?
- 48:00Speaker 1: Are you wearing his damn hat? Yeah, we haven't seen
- 48:03Speaker 1: a photo of his naked head. Yeah, where's your raw
- 48:06Speaker 1: hand sith?
- 48:07Speaker 2: Yeah, look at it, look at it.
- 48:10Speaker 1: He's got a raw head out here. Wow, this man
- 48:13Speaker 1: always got to hit condom am. Wow, well, seth, we'll
- 48:22Speaker 1: fuck with you. That brings us to the end of
- 48:26Speaker 1: another episode of Scamp. Got it on the words hat,
