  Speaker 1: Yes, so we're judging.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: These people off of what less than four percent or
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: like around four percent of their experience, So.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Keep that in mind.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Guys, they scamming them sexy babies, they scamming them.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: No, but I want to ask you about your relationship
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: with scams.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Eating So I like to play the scam sometimes and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: just ask you a couple of questions and get your opinion.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Is something a scam, is it a scheme? Or do
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you feel like it's a real thing? So I'm sure
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna be surprised. The first one I'm gonna
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: ask you is Jury Duty? How do you feel about
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Jury Duty? And if you don't mind describing the show
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to people who may have not been blessed to see
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it yet, which you must be living under a rock.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But also I love that for you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But yeah, hmm, well, was it a scam more of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a scheme? I think that sounds nicer.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: If you're talking about in relation, Because I'm gonna talk
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: about both just like real life every day. But like
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: if we're talking about in relation to the TV show
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: you were on, how do you feel like that was that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Was a scheme? It was a planned scheme. I can't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: say scam.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: No, no, I don't think it's a scam at all.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: But I'm more so asking about your experience and like
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the show, like do you feel like you all were
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: tricking this person?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Where do you lie on that?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think they should keep doing it to men.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's what I think, or to people, to people, but
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: why men's specifically, well, because they only do it to men.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's true.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think I think one was enough and we
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: got the point. It was a very special show, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: think because it had never been done. But to keep
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: doing it, I'm a little like I'm probably gonna get
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in trouble. I'm just like I feel I feel a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: little bad, but also he's fine.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And also I think that they did it to a
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: man more than once, because I feel like women would
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: not be as oblivious.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Well, and women are talking to people too, like I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: feel like men are suffering in silence, like they're like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that was weird, But I don't know that I can
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: say that out loud.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: They would be talking to everybody immediately and getting all
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: affections right, right exactly. I can't shut up.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Same so I would have been a lunch break. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: would have been like, so let's all gather up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Because I'm feeling something about this, you know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the feelings, the feelings that are facts would have
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: come out. Yes, that's a nice way to put it
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: though that like these like poor men, because I'm sorry,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like listen, it's very hard for me to support a man.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They put themselves in their own prison and that's why
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: it sucked there. But you're so right. They would be
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the ones to process things in their brains and then
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: be like, but if everybody else is actually normal, I'm.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: A man, I'd get at even more normal.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Remember for a while it was like a popular thing
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that the Man of Spirit was doing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was called.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But they would go on planes and they like wouldn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: watch the TV on the plane, not listen to any music,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: not read a book, no entertainment for like as long
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of flights as they could, where they were just like
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: white masculine, yeah, not sleeping, just white just white knuckle.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Wait, you can joke. What do y'all look up the name?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Because there was a name for this if people were
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: doing it, And I was like, why though.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Why you can enjoy yourself?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, raw dogging.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Raw dogging is hitten for me because it's like raw
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: dogging life where people are like, oh, you're not on medication,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you raw dogging life? Like oh yeah, So they were like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: we're gonna raw dog these flights and like not have anything.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: To interpecifically on airplanes.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the airplanes were like the like they started to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: expand into other experiences where you would want to entertain yourself.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But I think it started with airplanes.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It's so dark, be nice to yourself, enjoy yourself, it's okay, and.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Like, no, we need to feel pain. I'm like, this
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is why y'all are so upset. Yes, but so that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense to me. I would say
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: like actual jury duty when it's not a show, is
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: also a scheme.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Because yeah, I've never done it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I haven't either, and now it's very difficult in our
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: industry to do it because I can't be like hey Sony,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: hey Disney. I can't make my job because I have
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to go sit on this jury. But I'm trying to
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: figure out a way to do it because more black
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: people and more women in general need to be doing
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: jury duty because if we're not there to represent our
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: ilk are peers, then these people aren't getting a fair trial,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, but who wants to do that?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I know? And that's what makes it so hard.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And I think that there's so many people who want
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to be cops, Like the thirst to be a cop
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: in life is so strange to me. Like that's where
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: we got the term karen from, you know what I mean.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: It's like people who wanted to be police and everybody
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: else yes, And so those people show up to jury
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: duty yet ready read They're like I brought rocks for
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the stone. They're like, no, you don't get to be executioner.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Two bro put them rocks down.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like the people that end up on
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it are probably the worst kinds of people, or people
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: who are bored or have nothing else going on in
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: their life. That's why they're there, and now they're get
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to feel like righteous.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And then I also think I hope that like retired people,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I hope the elderly are going like, y'all got a
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: lot of wisdom, like y'all pop up in there memo
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: and Papau and instead of getting scammed on the phone,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: hang out at court and help decide somebody, Hey, go
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to court.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But I know that we have to do it too.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: It's just so hard at this point in my life
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to give up that time because I simply cannot.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They're like, you know, we own you, right, you can't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: not come. But then if.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I show up d duty to the government, gonna be like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you know, we can arrest you, right, since you're just
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: not coming.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: No miny Like, but I'm an actress, let you understand.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: But I think a lot of like really busy people
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: are also And this is not to take away from
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: people who have free time, because they can also be
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: highly intelligent. But I think a lot of highly intelligent
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: people are like, I don't have time for this shit.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And then it's like, so, now we got a jury
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: of all the George Bush's kids.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's like George Bush dropped off all these.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Kids at the house and left them behind, and now
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: they get to decide your fate.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not right, it's not.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, how do we fix them, like, if
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you do have the time, guys, you gotta make the sacrifice, please,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: but not us. I know I haven't had such a hypocrite,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, literally, I can't. Yeah, because what if
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I get stuck on like a very long trial.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: What if we switch that up in the government.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: What if it was like, Okay, we know this is
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: some petty shit, we can get over quickly.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me get one of them short ones.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I'm and I know that everybody would be
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: thirsty to get the short trial.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But what if we could bring in.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Like our like our doctor's notes or our excuses of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: like why we can't be on anything like a murder
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: trial or something.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That way, we're there for something something. I would love
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to be there for something.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how did it feel like even just like in
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: this show Recreation, were you bored?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Ever? Was it? Oh? My god? There were such long
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: periods of like witness is going up and being really
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: boring just so that the reality stuff felt more real.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was boring. But then also like they
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: wouldn't we wouldn't see some of the witnesses before. So
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: then sometimes they have someone get up and they start
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: doing something extremely funny, and we haven't even been breathed
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: on it, and we're all like trying not to laugh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: like not looking at each other, like, oh my god,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I can't believe they're doing this to us.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Right, I think that's a moment where you could laugh, though, I.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Feel I mean I did about Cardi B.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: When she was on the witness.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Stand that was she was so amazing.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: If I had a Cardi B. Cuirt case, I would
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: have been up in food there. She's so funny, we
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: got so many memes. She's a genius, Like maybe that's
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a bribe like she and she's constantly getting in legal trouble.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: So guys think about it like this, if you sign
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: up for jewelry duty, you might be a one of
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Cardi B's hilarious trials where she just threw something at
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: somebody or was like y'all saha, y'all sawha, Like come on,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: come on, like you might get one of the.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Whose or Johnny Depp amber heard she's leaving shit in
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: his bed. I wouldn't be seated for that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Seated. Now, that's a long trial.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: So that's gotta be for our board community or our
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: retired community.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, but yeah, like, thinking about it that way, you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: could you could get a landmark case.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: You could become a writer after one of them.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Also, right, yeah, you could be inspired exactly. Yeah, you're
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: so right, because there's so many trials that are so
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: famous that then the jurors come out and they write
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: about what really happened.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It might be a career change.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: You could at least get like a panphle sized book
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: out of it and sell it on Amazon. Scene, right,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a zine were buying it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: We buying a zine.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, I think we're giving incentive now for people to
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: go to jury duty.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, in ways that they haven't before.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: They keep being like civic duty, Like nobody wants to
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: do that. Make it sound cool, right, you could make
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a scene, right, make it like let's make a deal
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: where we get pulled out of the audience bank running
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: down and costumes and shit like whoa, let Wayne Brady
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: host jury like yeah, we have lawyers and stuff, but
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: in between you know.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: D break mm hmm.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: It's so sad that in America, like you know, you
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: need to entertain us and we need to maybe be
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: able to get famous.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And then we'll come otherwise.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: No, and it's pissed me off that every profession is
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: coming like turning into that, Like what do you mean?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And I've said there so many times on the show,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, what do you mean. You're a doctor
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: or a nurse and you're trying to get famous ontack.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: But it's like now every profession's like, I'm a plumber.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: They call me Joe the crack.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, are like a day in the life of
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a surgeon, right, And I'm sorry you need to be
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: paying attention, but some.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Of it it's highly interesting, and so I they get
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: followers because I didn't know that during these long operation
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: sessions they be playing music. I didn't know that different
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: types of surgeons like, oh my gosh, I think it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: orthopedic surgeons. I could be wrong, y'all correct me if
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I am, But there's certain types of surgeons who like
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: play like gangster rap when they're like known for it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So you might like, if you imagine you're being put
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: under and you just hear it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: It's it must be I'm like, but that's what they
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: do it As we are under, they're turning on their
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: ship and then it's just cutting on us, like.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Putting the bellot why are you cutting on me? Like,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: so it is interesting.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I get the impetus, but I'm also like, maybe everybody
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: go back to doing their job. Yes, maybe I'm just
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: not privileged to know that. I was never genuinely curious pain. Yes,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I know, but then when they come we were war
• 14:00

  Speaker 1: Below deck though, so we would just let them do Yeah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we had that. Yeah, you're so right. It's not necessary
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: for the content creators.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I've been watching a bunch of like tone inground toenail infections.
• 14:24

• 15:46
  Speaker 3: wiki right, and he was like, what's that? And I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: showed him and he was like, this isn't even making
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: me sense. It's one pictures of my dog. And I
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: looked at him like with th most sinister eyes, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I was like.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Zoom in and he was like, oh my god. So okay,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: so you have a great market.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Take I there was this guy who asked like he
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: was like, can I do the thing with you? And
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: he was like, I like to do it as we go,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: So like you send five pictures, I send one hundred dollars,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you know, and then I send more pictures. He sends
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: money and I was like, all right, that's fine. So
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the first time we did it, that's what we did.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: He sent me like three hundred dollars. I'm literally I
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: was talking with my roommate. They're good, they're nice. No, no,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: he likes my personality. That's where it's coming from. So
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: this was the first time. Then the second time he
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, you want to do it again. I'm
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: not doing anything. Why not? I'm taking pictures And it
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: said on the PayPal thing. I mean this, you can
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: make fun of me. It's said on PayPal pending the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: payment is pending. And he was like in England, so
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I guess he's across the pond.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It takes time to you know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Well PayPal some dams does have a pending payment.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And what's crazy about it is that if you're on
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the wrong end of that, which I have been where
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I sent money that was supposed to go to a
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: family member and it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Was a lot of money.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Baby didn't get it back, and I was called of
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: PayPal the second I did it.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and I.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Was like hey, hey, hey, hey hey, and they were like, oh,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: it's above us now fuck PayPal.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But also spotsor to show pay Pal.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: But so you also said that you were talking to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: your roommate, so so gud the PayPal is pending.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And then you said something about talking to your roommate.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my, Like I'm just saying like I'm hanging out
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: while I'm doing this.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I got it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take very much for me.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: No, you know, but okay, but so this is easy
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: light work to do the physics basically.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Then he was like, oh, yeah, it's because I live
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: in England. Whatever. And then eventually the money never came.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: And during that one, I'm sending like my faces in
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the pictures, He's like, put your toe in your mouth
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: because it's going oh.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I'm not gasping. I'm not gasping at
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: the functionality. I knew when he said that I want
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: to go back and forth. That he wanted to make
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: sure that whatever he was asking for, he was the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: only one getting it, because you know, the girls will.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Recycle some shit.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: The girls would be recycling the I'm doing it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it full, full on, and I'm going to do.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: A good ass job.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: He said he wants today's newspaper, and I gasped, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I said, you're locked in and he's not sending the coin.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: That's why I guessed, because like, it's the difference to
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: giving me. I can give you a recycled foot, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: if I'm giving you new foot moment to moment foot,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: where's my ship?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Please? And he got me because he did it the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: first time. You know, he paid me one time. Then
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: he was like I can get more. Mmmm that give
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a little to get a lot. And then also what
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the fuck he doing with these pictures? Because what if
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: he's flipping the picks and making his own coin? I know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: but to who, like, I'm just like, wait a who.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: He gave you? It feels like he gave you your cut.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Like there's something in pimping. I've been on pimp TikTok
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a lot, where like in Miami they call him the tricks, right,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: So a woman will be like, hey, come out with us,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: like we got some tricks.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: They about to give you money, They about to like
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: really run it out.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: And then you're thinking like, oh, I'm getting money for
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: be at a beautiful battie.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: That's all I have to do.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: And then after they give you that first bit of money,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: they'd be like, okay, well we're gonna get something out
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: of you as well. And so this is given now
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: where he was like, I'm gonna give you this money,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: but now he's got so much more content and he
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: could easily have a fake profile up somewhere in.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: England filled with me toe in the mouth.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like a foot reseller and that's getting me
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: off like say that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: After that, I kind of like I found almost like
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: a new fetish for myself because I kind of liked
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: that he was scamming me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I do like to talk to scammers. We're locked in.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: We're so locked in, don't even worry about the sweetheart.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: They won't talk to me back, like, they'll hit me
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: up and then I'll start texting with them, and then
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I can't help myself. I started putting it on Instagram stories. Like, hey, y'all,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I got one of those fake number of things and
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, like them, I'm trying to yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: but then I get too eager and I put it
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: on tic or I put it on Instagram or something right,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: and then like they see it and they're like, oh fuck,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: like they'll like never mind, and I'm like, no way,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you said we got a golf appointments and they leave me.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And that makes you feel some type of way that
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I'm getting ghosted by scammers. But so you you now
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: you're feeling involved, Okay, okay, and what did that do
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Like I kind of liked then I kind of got
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: into the idea of him of being scammed, like the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: power of being a scammer. I was kind of like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: why do I like this? And then I was like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: what if I just send him pictures just like for
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: no reason? And then I was like, what if I
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: start paying him?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, now we're taking this step too far. I was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: with you before.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be this way. You gotta be
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: honest with you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta be on the opposite side of it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't know this but before my podcast and you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: book and television show took off. I Scam Goddess had
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: a completely different meaning. I kind of repurposed it and
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: had no idea that scam goddesses are people who because
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I was getting confused, I would be on Twitter or
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: whatever and men were start getting my comments and they're like,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I'll be your pay piggy, like you can you know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: yell at me or do whatever and I'll just send
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: you money. And so then I started googling scam Goddess
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: in the origination of it, and it is scamming men
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: who want to be scammed, so yes, we'll look get
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: involved that way.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I know. I have this friend who reached This was
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: years ago. He I hadn't heard from him in years,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: and then he reached out to me and he was like, Hey,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: can I talk to you about something, which I feel
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: like my whole life people always tell me like the deepest,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: darkest things that have ever happened to them, like random people.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I have like an open face too. I was like, oh,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: that's why he's telling me. So I was like, sure,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: what's going on? And he was like, I have this problem,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: like I'm into finndom, financial domination, I'm like losing he

• 22:20
  Speaker 2: he's telling me all this stuff and I'm like, oh,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. But then at one moment, I was like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: is he asking me to do it? Like why is
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: he telling me about this?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Like did you just get paid? And it's so did
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that money hit you account?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: He was like, and I didn't do it because I
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: actually like cared about him, and he was like, it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: ruining my life. But I was like, your ass is
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: jerking off right now, probably right for me to turn
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: to flip it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Also, was he trying to get a freebie where he's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: like I have been given away all my money and
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I'm going bankrupt and now you're listening and being like

• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I'm a little bit like why are you giving me
• 23:03

• 23:27
  Speaker 3: like I feel like I could get involved. Yes, but okay,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: so you there's an error that's happening where things are
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: happening around you. I have that happened to me too,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: where scams are constantly finding me.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So I get you. I get that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: There's also on Venmo Daddy Michael. I don't know if
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: you've ever experienced this guy. He comments on every Venmo
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: interaction that I have. No, He's like, hello, my name

• 24:01
  Speaker 2: he didn't really he didn't continue the conversation.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, but why you double up on him? That might
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: be why he got He said he loved God.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And I thought he would feel blessed.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I thought, no, I think he was sharing his vulnerability
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: with you, and he was like, let me get my
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: friend involved.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: We both go run it up on him. No, Daddy

  Speaker 1: Mchael just wanted you.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: He said, I want one child he didn't want, And
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: come to think of it, there's probably a lot of
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: like really god fearing Christian people who don't even realize
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: that they like a like a financial domination situation, because
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: think about prosperity Gospel and how we've had pastors locked
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: the doors of the church and be like you got
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: to give more money, Like if you want to sow see,
• 24:42

• 24:57
  Speaker 1: But now have an audience too. Yeah, that's a.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying everyone's doing it for that reason. There
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: are a lot of people who give to churches because
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: they want to support their communities. I'm talking about those
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: mega churches where it is so apparent that this pastor
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: is pimping the congregation that I'm like, y'all gotta like
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: this a little bit.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Hm hmmm. I don't know.

• 25:26
  Speaker 3: my number, group, cause i feel like I feel like
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: we're a little too locked this.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I think so too. They can't let us get in kahoots.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: No, they can't let us get in cahoots cashoos. Now
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: my foot ain't is I'm had the photoshop. I should
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit. I had my fans run my wiki
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: feet up. But my feet look like what I've been through,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? They look like I was
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: walking to school barefoot in the snow every day. It
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: was like, what's going on? The bitch dancing on glass
• 25:58

  Speaker 2: I blocked him.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like that he tried to make your
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: feet stock because I really do think.

  Speaker 2: He flipping the foot and he has some incriminating images,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: is what I'll say. Bad.
• 26:34

• 26:36
  Speaker 3: that's upsetting to me and my homegirls.
• 26:39

  Speaker 2: It's crazy, but I do. He's got to get out, Yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: to get out. He's too old. But he's making money.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if it's his passion and he's good
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: If it's his passion, you think it's his passion.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: For some people, it is.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: That's why I started giving themselves no names, Like I'm
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: not a bartender, I'm a Somali. Ah, I went to
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: school for this. What you mean, I'm not head bar back.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I'm running F and D around this hole. Okay. There
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: are some people their passion. It's a seruicide. No, he
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: loves he loves the restaurant world. Hm.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't my passion though, So I can understand where
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you're coming from.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: But I did it for many years and so this
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: like so Yoshino is a ten seat Michelin star sushi
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: war on Bowery that opened in twenty twenty one. It's
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: a big event to get a seat there. And now
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: that I'm looking at this, I've been to a place
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: like this in Los Angeles.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember the name.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I just went with Miranda Cosgrove and her mama and
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: it was just like this. Oh, I like, yeah, it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the kind of place you gotta be like, yeah, I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: with you know, child Caro, Right, okay, I'm with Netflix Royalty.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: She getting that reservation.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: If I call, I can try to be like, hey, y'all,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: have y'all heard a scam? Gut and they probably be
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: like this, no, and hang up.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't even think I'm getting to the next sentence.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: So this makes sense that people would try to find
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: another way to get into these high end restaurants if
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: they don't have the cloud or the power.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: But these are people finding the scalper like they're the
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: scammers themselves.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Oh I would find the scalper.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I absolutely am kind of down for this if they're
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: not stealing the reservation, like if I actually get it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: So you know, we're talking about Yoshina, right, and it's
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: this tense. It looks very fancy. It also looks just
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: very expensive. They're only gonna do maybe twenty covers a night,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: maybe three sittings, maybe they get thirty people on that beach.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: So you know it's expensive wild, although I do like
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: this better.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of expensive restaurants where it's
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: like huge, it's like the size of a cheesecak factory.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, don't charge me a bunch of money for this.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: And the restaurant where there's ten people, I'm like, okay,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: y'all gotta make all money.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: So how much is the ice cubes? Again, Yes, it's exclusive.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: It's very plain in there, but you know that's like
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: rich where rich people have pivoted to clean Yeah, clean
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: the clean girl anesthetic because they're always running from broke e's.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: So once brokeys start to have access to things, then
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: rich people were like, oh, we don't do that anymore.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Like rich people used to be labeled down. They used
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to wear the Gucci belt, they used to have all
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the imbles on. The rappers got a hold of that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: They were like, oh no, we wear eight hundred dollars
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: white Tea's get away from us.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You put I hate that. I love if something says product,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I'm like.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, put it on my body.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I love fake Gucci.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Chinatown bag, some Fucci you can hit sometimes, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: some Gooseie. It's just like and it's like more unique
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: than the pieces that they're slang and especially when it
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: comes to Gucci, because I consider that, Damn, I'm gonna
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: reveal myself as a snot. But I consider that brand
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: to be a bit more pedestrian because it's easier to access. Yes,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, haven't I just did what
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I said that I just condemned to rich people for
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: doing I'm like, everybody can get it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want it anymore. It's nasty.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm not like that.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not like that either, even though I kind of
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: did say I was like that just a little bit.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: But I love Coach Comach just killing the game though,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Like they're.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Designed signed cheap Coach too.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: And their leather is one of the highest qualities. You know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I would have a TikTok rabbit hole about that. There's
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: this leather artist who like breaks down like MS bags,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: all these really expensive leather bags. He cuts them apart,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: he like checks them for everything, and Coach ranks high
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: up there in like quality.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Of leather, in quality of leather.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna stop talking because I'm revealing myself
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You you're trying to expose me.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: So back to the story, because anyways, a reservation gets
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: you two and a half hour twenty one chorus preset menum.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: The pinocchi counter was sourced from three hundred year old
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: tree and the chairs were handmade.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: What was what? Wood?
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Wasn't that's a good point, damn. And I was trying
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: to get you think.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I was saying from me, tree.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: It's a really old one.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: So wood sounds like it's old. It's old wood.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't do that new money. Would we
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: only do old money? Would what get out here? And
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: the chairs were handmade k okay As chairs are typically right.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: But they said that it comes from Japan and that
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: the knives are crafted by a god a prefecture in Japan.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: So these are like fucking now wild knives. These are
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the best knives ever. And you know what I think
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: when I eat food. Damn, A good knife cut this,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I said, No one, but okay. According to your Sushi
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: legend dot com, step into Yoshino. There's a feeling in
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the air. If you were lucky enough to attend Hamilton
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: in New York on its first run or like a
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: big Boxinger MMA match during sports respective you know seasons,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: like this is like going to the super Bowl of eating. Okay,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I know I feel the same way. It's just because
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: they won't let you in that you're like, there's an
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: era about this place.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Look at all the old Well this.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: One ain't young, like like come on now, So this
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: began like kind of like it wasn't Yoshino that started this,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: but they contributed to these reservation wars. So talk is
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: one of the many platforms competing for business in the
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: reservation wars. And some restaurants use the old reliables like
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: open tables, or they use seven Rooms, which is independently
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: owned and funded by celebrity chefs like Jose andres and
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: some just use yelp. If you're you know yelp the
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the ross dress for less of reservation apps. Everybody's on yelp.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: So Resie is also, you know, like a fake bougie one.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: So Resie and Talk are now the new bougier never talk,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: never heard of talk.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: So you're making new ones because.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: That's how you stay relevant once people start to hear
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: about it. Then remember we got to run away the
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: pores know about it, so we.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: You're not to talk.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: You've not heard of talk, And I'm like, you mean
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: TikTok And they're like, oh, darling, no no, no, no, no no,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So reside and talk of the new hot reservation like
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: and they're like both owned by American Express and Resident
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: which kind of gives to me, like, you know how
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Procter and Gamble owns a lot of competing brands, so
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: you're gain and you're tied maybe competing soap brands, but
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: they're owned by the same company, so American Express is
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: doing that. We're like, if you think Resie is supedestriate,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: don't worry. We have talk now it's even bougie. Don't
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: don't look at who is it? Don't look who I's it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: So talk got like more expensive reservations because people were
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: using prepaid bookings and dynamic pricing, so them how to
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the restaurant. You would have to pay in advance to
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: get the reservation. And this has now just become a thing,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: so people, you know, will be like, oh, I'll make
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: a rezie, which I've heard people say that, especially in
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: New York, but now that word is just like how
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Kleenex is like, you don't say, oh, can I have
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: a nose tissue?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: You say can I have a Kleenex? So they have
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the brand.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Now, I mean, you couldn't pay me to say should
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I make a RESI but it was reservation.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: On the app.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I'll be making a reservation on Rezi.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, because you're a woman of the people. Okay.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: So to get a reservation at Yo, she knew, you
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: have to book on the talk platform and pay a
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: five hundred dollars per person deposit that.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: You get back.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: The actual meal including tax and tip but not drinks,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: cost six hundred and forty six dollars per person, and
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: reservations become available thirty days in advance and noon Eastern time.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it hurts me about this.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I'm so tired of things that used to be free
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: becoming money.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: This hurts me so much because of the fact that
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: everyone's like, how can we make pay?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Everyone paid for everything all the time.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: For going on the website, you're paying Like I.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Was gonna go to the restaurant and pay anyway, and
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I was gonna to and I was gonna pay this
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: inflated cost of this food. But you're gonna make me
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: pay five hundred dollars before I even see the inside
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: of this old ass wood.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: But do you get the deposit back? It's just a
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: deposit to make sure you go.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Technically, it's like it goes towards your meal, okay, except
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: for drinks, so it just goes towards They.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Make it confusing too, Yeah, and like.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: The confusion is what's getting me on on a scam
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: because it's like, how much is going towards my meal?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: And how much of this is me paying for the
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: exclusivity to go to this place and then paying even.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Six hundred and seventy six dollars.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sushi, six forty six, Yeah for sushi. And
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: that's not alcohol. We ain't even got to the yamazaki
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: y it. We don't even got nothing. Okay, shit, we
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: don't got a soda water on the bill yet. And
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: that's six forty six per person off rip. So and
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: you got a way, and you got a big and.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be hungry.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Look, they gonna give you a tiny little bite, but
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: they gonna give you twenty one bytes.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: That better be enough, and probably a little suit.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Of two Burrows after right, yeah, this is a dollare game.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Definitely a pregame meal place, or this is like a
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: model meal place, you know, where the girlies don't really eat.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I worked at a really expensive, like fancy restaurant in
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: the city and one of the menu items the menu
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: was always changing, and one of the items was a
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: scalp one scallop mm hmm, and it was twenty five
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: dollars and order. I mean, I would be like, it's
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the best scallop you're ever gonna eat.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: You'll not thinking about the scallup, this one scallup.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: But it was funny the different kinds of like there
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: would be people who would come in who would be like,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I'll have the scallops, and I'd be like, so it
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: is one one. And some people would be like, oh, okay,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I'll have to like not even caring, and other people
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: were like thank you, you know.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you for telling us.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I tried bringing it up in like a
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: staff meeting and they were kind of like poo pooing
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: me for even caring about it, you know, But I
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: was like, we gotta tell these people. It's one fucking scallop.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Honestly, though, I understand the pooh pooh. And here's why
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I used to be like that.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Differ.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: No, I used to be like that in these restaurants,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: and so people would start ordering things like you like
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: a Yamazaki twenty one hundred dollars a glass and it's
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: only an alix and a half poor, and I'd be like, okay,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: just so you know, it's a three hundred dollars poor,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: and they would look at me and get mad at me,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: like why you think I'm poor?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Why you think I don't have it?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, yeah, well that's what I mean saying.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: You know, but if it were me, I would like
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: to know that.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: But the whole aesthetic two is also supposed to be
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the assumption that you're so rich that these prices won't
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: shock you. And so I now, Yeah, as a way
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: to sneak it, you can be like, it's a beautiful
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: one scallop and it's not this and that on it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful it's and it's one.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: No, but you gotta say it is all one thing.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful one.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: You can't be like it's beautiful and also just a
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: single scallop.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because a single scallop dish. Oh now we're hitting now.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Now the rich, now, the super rich people love it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: And then the people who might be a little bit
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: more reasonable about their money rightfully so they know it's
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: a single scallop.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm the saved tips.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I just want to relate to everyone, like when people
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: come into the restaurant, I like being like, I know
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: it's fucking crazy, but you know.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: See, I'm more of a like in between because one
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: thing I don't enjoy is going into a high end place.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: And this happens a lot to me as a black woman.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I'll go into a very expensive place and if you
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: can't clock my jewelry, if you can't clock what I
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: got on, you may not know I can afford it,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: because you're gonna think I'm poor because I'm black. I
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: don't know where this assumption always has come from, but
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: you know that's that's the economic goal of white people
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: is to keep us poor.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: So if they see us not being poor, but like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: how you getting here? We gotta stop this.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: So I've gone in places and the people who work
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: there are being all high falutin and snooty and bougie
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: to me and I'm like, bitch, you work here, I
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: shot here, I'm here, yes, so why are you treating
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: me like I'm a slave. But I know that reverse
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: psychology works on certain people, and they'll be like, I
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: got to prove to you that I got money. If
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: you treat me like that, I will walk my bitch
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: that stuf out of therecat, I'm not giving you no
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: fucking commission. And on my way out, I'm gonna tell
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: everybody what you did. And now I'm gonna come back
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: in like I'm so pretty woman. I'll come back in
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: a big mistake you I feel me and put it
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: on tiktocky, raggedy bitch you're talking.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: To me, I'm like, it's one scallop girl.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: No, that wouldn't offend me.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: The people who come in and they look down at
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: me like totally sweetheart, like you know, or they don't
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: even speak to me or greet me when I come
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: into the store because they're like, she.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Couldn't fell right.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fuck you.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy a thousand dollars pants that I don't
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: even want.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Actually, but I would only do that if I knew
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: how they return and worked a bunch of shit and
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: then just return it so you could lose your commission.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I'll let you have a commission just long enough to.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Think you own it, and then I'll come back in
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: the return period to fuck you.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: That's how petty I am.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Don't play with me, and I'll make sure I coming
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: on your day all so you could be surprised.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I'm small. I'm sorry, but so I.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Understand what you're saying, and I'm completely with you because
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: this shit is ridiculous, especially when you think of the
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: evaluation of what things cost like it's stupid, crazy rab run.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: So in early twenty twenty three, the general manager there,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: he got a tip from a regular customer that it
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: was becoming impossible to get a seat at the restaurant.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Reservations were being scooped up and resold in a close
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: group on a Chinese social network e commerce site called
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Red Node or Little Red Book. So somebody was using
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: the name when Winter's Weighing and other aliases to sell
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: reservations for an additional one hundred and eighty dollars per seat.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: So they were going to get.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: The reservation with the five hundred deposit right then they
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: were taking that reservation to another website.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And flipping it into six point eighty.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Right, then you still gotta go to a restaurant and
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: paint at one and that's not drinks and clues. So
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: somebody else has figured out a way to get in on.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: This genius, right, it's genius.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: I mean it hurts me though, because it makes me
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: think about your foot flipper and how he was flipping
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: the picks.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: And you did.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Say you liked it. You did say you liked it,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: but I didn't liked that. She won't getting your cut
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: at a tone, No more so, Miami. The the restaurant managers,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: they wrote to TikTok or excuse me, I'm calling TikTok.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: They can wrote to.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Top and they alerted them of the scalping that was happening.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And she also got screenshots from the scalping website revealing
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: the methods that they were using to scalp these seats
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: at famous New York restaurants.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: But how are people finding out? People are seeking out
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the scalping website?
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, and so regulars who perhaps were able to
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: call before, because once you have a rapport with a restaurant,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: you don't have to use those apps anymore.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: They know you're you know what we used to call them.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: So if I got like a chit from the hostess
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: that said, like a very important like swanyer is coming in,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: that means that there's somebody who spends a lot of
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: money with us. There might be things on the chit
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: about their allergies, their preferences. Lino, Richie used to come
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: into our restaurant all the time and he isn't great
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: with chopsticks, and he's like, you know, I'm from Alabama, baby,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: And so it got to the point where when I
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: knew when he was coming into the restaurant, I would
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: already have the chopsticks on the little kid things for him, totally,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: the little clippers, like I would have his drink order
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: ready because like he you know. So, yeah, the Swans
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: were starting to be like, hey, I just usually call y'all,
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: and every time I try to call y'all, now y'all
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: booked up.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: And so that's when she had the inkling to see
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: if there was someone else taking the reservations, because they
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: know what reservations.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: They're getting from what websites.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: And also, if you think about it, if I were
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: to purchase the restoration under a fake name on talk
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: the real MX website, right, and then I go resell it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I probably have to change the name on the reservation or.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Somebody or a bunch of different looking people keep coming
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: in as mister Wang. Like what if I showed when
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey Lacy, party of two or I'm like, yeah,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: it should be under mister Wang and Partia two. They
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: could be looking at my black ass like who.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, y'all know I won't.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Come out mister Wang.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I've got a very complicated family. Okay, we got I'm adopted.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Like people are just coming in with the same person's
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: name or they're having to change the name. So it
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: makes sense that they got this evidence and so now
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: they're trying to stop what was going on. So wrapping
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: this up Winter's Wang, which is the fake name, who's
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: also me? I'm now Winter's Wang, a proud Asian woman
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: as I've always been. This person isn't the first or
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: the last dinner reservation scalper. In twenty twenty three, appointment
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: trader dot com sold for almost six million dollars in restaurants.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: They sold almost six million dollars in restaurant reservations. Oh
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: my god, a part appointment trader dot com. Why have
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: I not thought of these things? So these these table scalpers,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: now they have a name. They slang a table. They're like,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: I got that table, I got that table. Could you
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: imagine going to a fancy restaurant and then there's somebody
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: standing outside, like in a trench, cable like table table,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: tight table, party of three.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I got a party. I got a party of three
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: at eight. What you want for what you want for it?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I can't. I hate a marathon.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: You know what's a good hack? At the fancy place
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: they worked at. You can go in person and make
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: a reservation for the future, anytime in the future. And
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: I do it in person.
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: And sometimes they'll have somebody drop out, and randomly you'll
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: get lucky and they have something that night. If not,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: they'll give you something later. Yeah, that's a hack for
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: or if I'm on PR. Now, this is really gonna
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: make me sound away. It's not my fault. Sometimes I
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: will hit up my publicers and be like, can you
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: get me into this restaurant?
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Do you live in New York? I?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, where are you?
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Are?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: You still in New York or where you at?
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yes, you still got the energy and the spirits,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: so I figured as much. So yeah, they got all
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: types of websites and people who are doing this. But
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: now they got a hashtag that's going on. The hashtag
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: is like a group of Fridance bros. They started using
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: this hashtag in twenty twenty two called hashtag free resi
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: for a group chat based out of the encrypted messaging
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: platform Telegram. And they got busted. So they ain't got
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: a telegram and these are fat bros. They're gonna find
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: a way to rob us all. Like what like, what
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: is the fight? What's the stock market? What do they
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: add to the world? I don't know, No one does.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: It's theph it's a casino. Ain't nobody ever been like
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: a Wall Street bro built my home? Like no, it's
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: more likely they bought your home and outpriss your neighborhood. Yes,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: the holly do is destroyed. So of course they started
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: to do a telegram and having their own sketchy ass
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: rezie as well. Not shocked, right, So most of these
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: reservations that they were using on this like secret app,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: because this is another one. This is a Telegram one
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: hashtag free RESI. These reservations fell between seven and nine pm,
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: and they targeted in demand tables at Michelin Star restaurants
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: like Bles Bardin and you know TikTok's favorite Saint Theo's,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: So they're going for the ones that are really popular.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: There were seven hundred people in the group when it
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: was shut down, including band members from The Chain Smokers
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: and Lost King.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, I will never listen to them again.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Now, listen, when's the last time you've been in a
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Walgeren Is? That's the only time we hear the Chain Smokers.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Ain't nobody at a party like put on them? Chain Smokers?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: What was their song?
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I couldn't. I don't even know.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you. It's like one of them everybody
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: It take bab type song.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: You know, if it came on, I'd be singing it
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: every oh.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: For sure, because we've heard it everywhere that we went, Okay,
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna hear a commercial for a bank without
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: the change. You know it's out there. It's crazy. It's
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: funny to me that they couldn't get reservations. So they
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: were also in there so many restaurants were still like
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, requiring you to show a vaccination
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: card when you showed up to dine. Right, and maitre
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: GeSe noticed that the reservation name and the vaccine card
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: were different. So remember when I brought up earlier that
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: I was miss Wang. Everybody can't be miss Wang, especially
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: if your vaccination card is not the same. So Resi
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: deleted people's accounts so they So there were people who
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: created the telegram right our finance bros. Their names were
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Cold sal and Steve. I don't really need to give
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: them too much credit. That's all we need to know
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: about them. But Resie was like, y'all gotta go bitious,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: so deleted all of their accounts that they were using
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: to get these reservations, including ones that they use for
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: themselves personally. So now they can't even use rezzine no more.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: They gonna got kicked off, they banned, getting banned from a.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Reservation website, Like can we all be so serious and
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: for real?
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna wrap it up with something that is
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: like a little bit of a pivot.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: But before I do, I do want to let.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: You know that Steve and Cole have comment when they
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: got deleted from Rezie. Right, So Steve said, there's always
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: going to be drawbacks when you disrupt something.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Of course you call the disruption.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Loser.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Loser.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: You got caught, so actually you're a loser.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Also, what do you mean disrupt?
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Like the word is such a weird, douchey term that
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: if I'm sorry, ladies, gentlemen, daising them's. If you ever
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: on a date with somebody they tell you they're a disruptor,
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: you better run your ass up out of there, okay,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: because what do you mean?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: They're not disrupting a rally, a far right rally, You're
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: disrupting a reservation website.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Like by disrupting, all you're doing is making the prices
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: more expensive. Like Uber called themselves disruptors when they first started.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: What Uber did was they got a fuck ton of
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: VC capitalists to invest in the company so that they
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: could operate at a loss long enough to outprice everybody else.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: So it was like they were so cheap that all
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: these other companies were out of business.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: The cab drivers started killing themselves in New York.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Like it was real shit, because cab drivers had like medallions,
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: and those things were a billion dollars to own your cab,
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: and like I felt bad for them, but I also
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: didn't feel bad because I've been hit by too many
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: cabs in New York City. And when I say clipped,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: like clipped, like I opened the door and I'm leaving
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: my job.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: It's like four am. I'm like, hey, I gotta go
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: They're like, I'm not going to Brooklyn and they drive
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: off the doors still open. I'm like, ah, y'all should
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: have been nicer to me, you rag me bitches.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: But like that's what disrupting is.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: It's like subjugating the market and then making yourselves a
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: monopoly to where now Uber's like, who else you gonna
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: get a ride with?
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: It's us or a dui ho.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: So do you want to pay one hundred and eighty
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: three dollars to go four blocks up this road home?
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Or would you like to be in jail or worse?
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Do you know about empowered? Do you guys have empower here?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: No? But I want it now? What is I need
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: to get out of this hole that Uber got on me?
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: It's it empowers the driver so they make more money apparently,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: or they get like a bigger cut of whatever the
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: ride is, but it's not like regulated by anyone. So
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: sometimes you'll get one guy that's like maybe fucked up
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: or it's not the best, but it's cheap.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: It's cheap also, so sometimes it might be risks that
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: we need to take and for what For what the
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: drivers get on Uber. If I have a driver who's
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: like nice and saying typically I do this with women,
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: or like black cars that I know like are very expensive.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: If I really fuck with them, I'm like, hey, what's
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: your phone number, because i'll office with I have business, Yes,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: and then you can drive me around the city, because
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: now we're both getting our money's worth.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: So but I hate that we have to do that,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: and also I hate the risk involved in that because
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: now I really I'm just getting in a car with
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: a stranger with no accountability for what happens to me
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: because there's no app tracking it. Even though Uber doesn't
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: allow once you sign up for Uber, they don't allow
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: you to do like public court, like if you want
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: to assue, you have to do private arbitration.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Really, yes, And what.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: That does is it shields Uber from the responsibility of
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: the public knowing what's happened in certain cars. Or even
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: statistics on you know, assault or or the driver being
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: intoxicated or whatever the case. But I have a sneaking
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: scam suspicion because every now and then Uber will send
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: out an email that's like, if you'll drive a drunk,
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: let us know, And I'm like, this, this is the
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: last thing I should be getting from the taxi service.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: With your driver smoking crack support.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: You can tell us.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: It's not happening, but we just want to sure they
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: not smoking crackings.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about why we ask him. I'm a little confusion.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: But so the DMV is also having a scalping issue,
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: and this wraps up our episode. I just wanted to
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: briefly touch on the fact that some states have passed
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: legislation attempting to stop this kind of reservation scalping and
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: to dismantle third party reservation services like appointment Trader. So
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: appointment Trader wasn't just doing restaurant appointment trading.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: They were big on the scene.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: They said, they said, you need a DMV appointment.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: They don't want to wait appointment trader.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine a scalper at the DMV pulling that
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: little deli ticket and just like rolling it out, take
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: it all the spots.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: It's wild.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: But New York was the first to shout out to
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: mom Donnie stand. New York was the first to pass
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: the Restaurant Reservation Anti Piracy Act, which bans third parties
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: from selling restaurant reservations without the restaurant's consent. The law
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: went into effect mid February, and California is working on
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: this same.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Thing, wasting our time. There are other issues we need
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: to be working way.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Why is there now?
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: We got to make an act. We got to make
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: an act right.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: We need healthcare?
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Why why are y'all bothering my my legislators with.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: With DMVs Reservation Act? Oh my god, that's crazy. I
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: feel you imagining this was so informative and amazing.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Thank you, And you know, I'm hoping that people can
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: get what they deserve. And Florida, the DMV scalpers led
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: to people waiting in line overnight to renew their driver's licenses.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: That's how bad it got because they couldn't afford to
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: scalp their way into the DMV. And the scalpers have
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: been selling these appointments from twenty five dollars to two
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars to go to the DMV to
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: pay the DMV money so that you can drive. Otherwise
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: you got to sleep outside like you're trying to give
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: concert tickets in the eighties.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how that was happening there.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, it's Flora, It's the wild wild West.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: But it's been happening in Florida, New York, California, major
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: cities where I think DMB appointments are even harder to
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: get because our populations are so dense and everybody's going
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: at the same time, you know, either before work or after.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: This is why I love being an actor, because I
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: can go random times of the day sometimes, which is
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: a blessing. But yeah, like, victims in Miami have filed
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: a class action lawsuit against the Florida Department at Highway
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Safety and Motor Vehicles since scalping DMV appointments is technically
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: obviously illegal. But I can't imagine having to make a
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: class action lawsuit because I need to go to the
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: worst government place on earth world, Like if Disneyland is
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: the best place on worth, the DMV is the worst.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I just had a really good experience at the DMV,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I got a real id. We're laughing. I'm laughing with
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: the lady at the counter, laughing with the camera lady.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Everyone was in good spirits.
