- 2:15Speaker 1: in the beginning of the podcast, and either of you
- 2:17Speaker 1: can go first, what's your relationship with scams? Do you
- 2:20Speaker 1: love them? Do you hate him? Have you ever been scammed?
- 2:22Speaker 1: It could literally be anything. I just like to see
- 2:26Speaker 1: where you are on the scam gammut.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna scam one of us, it's
- 2:30Speaker 3: definitely gonna be me.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Okay, I fall for that shit. I fall for that shit.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I have a lot of empathy, some naivete, some gullibility.
- 2:39Speaker 3: I was when I first moved to New York City.
- 2:43Speaker 3: It happened many times where like a guy would come
- 2:45Speaker 3: up to me and tell me about like his wife
- 2:47Speaker 3: needs surgery, and I'm like, oh my god, that's so sad.
- 2:49Speaker 2: We can't afford it. Oh my god.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And then he would walk with me to an ATM
- 2:53Speaker 3: and I was like where we go? And he's like,
- 2:55Speaker 3: can you give us money? And I'm like, oh yeah,
- 2:59Speaker 3: and I did, like yeah, I thought.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I've fallen for a lot of shit.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Listen, Chris Christina, I'm hearing a little bit of shame
- 3:06Speaker 1: when you say this. Don't be ashamed of this. I've
- 3:08Speaker 1: been scammed many times. I have also been scammed by
- 3:10Speaker 1: the Mine was a woman on the street in college
- 3:13Speaker 1: who said that her grand her mother was in the hospital,
- 3:15Speaker 1: her baby was at daycare, and her car had run
- 3:17Speaker 1: out of gas. So it was a whole situation. And
- 3:22Speaker 1: she also walked me to an ATM and and listen,
- 3:25Speaker 1: I think that you did the right thing. There's no
- 3:26Speaker 1: way for us to know how sociopathic would it be
- 3:28Speaker 1: if you gave somebody money on the street who said
- 3:30Speaker 1: that they were in need, and then you came back
- 3:32Speaker 1: like three days later, okay, like let me see the receipt.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You gotta see her sin Andy built like how your
- 3:36Speaker 1: wife is doing she get the surgery or and all.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, and I'm not.
- 3:42Speaker 3: And then they just put you in a position where
- 3:44Speaker 3: it's it's hard for me to say no. So when
- 3:46Speaker 3: you tell me like you're going through a hardship, I'm like,
- 3:48Speaker 3: I can't.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I can't say no. That friends way better at it.
- 3:52Speaker 4: I love.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I love me, go fund me on foot Like he
- 3:56Speaker 1: was like, I go fun me. But he's like doing
- 3:59Speaker 1: the work. He's out here, Yeah, stepsin. I'm not mad
- 4:01Speaker 1: at it. And I will say to Chris Nina, you
- 4:03Speaker 1: don't even know, like maybe that worked out in your
- 4:05Speaker 1: favorite safety wise too, because I found out later that
- 4:07Speaker 1: the lady who was doing the my baby had daycare
- 4:09Speaker 1: my mom in the hospital scam. If you didn't give
- 4:12Speaker 1: her coincided she was hitting people with bricks.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Like oh oh, so I saved my own life. Possibly.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Also, I've also been scammed in that I've gotten breast
- 4:22Speaker 3: exams when I shouldn't have.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Oh, okay, go on, I think twice a doctor.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Like one time I was going to a doctor in
- 4:31Speaker 3: the upper like I was just moved to New York
- 4:33Speaker 3: and I needed blood work for a job. I forget
- 4:35Speaker 3: what the fuck job I didn't blood work for, but anyway,
- 4:37Speaker 3: I needed like a checkup, like a standard checkup, and
- 4:39Speaker 3: the guy gave me a breast exam and I was
- 4:41Speaker 3: like I left the doctor's office and I was like,
- 4:43Speaker 3: wait a second, was that supposed to happen? And I
- 4:46Speaker 3: called up all my friends and they were all like nope,
- 4:48Speaker 3: And I'm.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Like, oh damn. Okay, okay, I.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Just feel like your TV's probably didn't have anything to
- 4:53Speaker 1: do with employment.
- 4:55Speaker 2: They didn't.
- 4:56Speaker 1: They didn't ask about at the at the job house. Now,
- 4:59Speaker 1: But okay, was the exam good? Did it feel like
- 5:01Speaker 1: a real exam? Was he really check it for lumps
- 5:04Speaker 1: and dimples and shit? Or he was more like pat
- 5:06Speaker 1: like pat in it like like he was cup with
- 5:08Speaker 1: a ball but.
- 5:09Speaker 2: It was my tit Yeah, oh yeah, I was like, no,
- 5:13Speaker 2: as it was happening, you had to hold your arm up,
- 5:15Speaker 2: you know. And I was like that, I don't know,
- 5:16Speaker 2: this is supposed to happen, and there was not. He
- 5:18Speaker 2: was a male doctor. There was no female in the room.
- 5:20Speaker 3: Usually when a doctor and female patient, yeah, exactly, just
- 5:24Speaker 3: to like a third party to be there, and there
- 5:25Speaker 3: wasn't any.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I was looking around. I was like, there's supposed to
- 5:28Speaker 2: be like a nurse here, right, And I'm like.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Damn it, not, damn it.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Wait what doctor had I never had an assistant in
- 5:35Speaker 4: the room when there's when there's a male doctor. I mean,
- 5:38Speaker 4: I might OPG is female, but I never heard that
- 5:41Speaker 4: rule about having like a female It's not like the airport.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Well, whenever there's a female or a male gynecologist, there's
- 5:47Speaker 3: always has to be a nurse in the room.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Acologist. Yeah. I always thought it was just most of
- 5:53Speaker 1: my gynecologists have been male. I will say that, and
- 5:56Speaker 1: I do prefer a male gynecologist just because I've had
- 5:59Speaker 1: women guynecologists, and it just feels like because if they're
- 6:01Speaker 1: six gendered women, they got a vagina there, They're like,
- 6:04Speaker 1: I got this shit. They putting the dubl lips in
- 6:06Speaker 1: all cold and just like like they didn't get all
- 6:09Speaker 1: rough with pussy's like I got one. It's fine. I
- 6:11Speaker 1: know this is fine, but I feel like all the
- 6:14Speaker 1: head have been like is this fine? Do you need
- 6:17Speaker 1: more of this? Cold? Jena up, missillated? Like they just
- 6:20Speaker 1: feel like they're like a little afraid of the.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Coochie steel right right.
- 6:24Speaker 1: But I say, regardless of gender, anytime I've pulled out
- 6:27Speaker 1: any genitals, there's always been two people in the room,
- 6:30Speaker 1: so me too. I can't.
- 6:31Speaker 4: I guess like the nurse is just like there to
- 6:33Speaker 4: like take the garbage and stuff a lot of the time.
- 6:36Speaker 4: But I didn't know that was like I didn't know
- 6:37Speaker 4: that was like a hard and fast rule. Yeah, like
- 6:40Speaker 4: a third party.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, this man he almost had me
- 6:44Speaker 1: when he said put the arm up, because the arm
- 6:46Speaker 1: is a little bit of part of it, you know.
- 6:48Speaker 1: But then the cup cup cup, I feel like it's
- 6:50Speaker 1: just to be pinchon or something.
- 6:52Speaker 2: I don't know, right, grab it or I don't know.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And I just I was looking around like this is weird.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 6:59Speaker 3: And then yeah, I got scammed into getting felt up.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the ultimate scam of being a woman is
- 7:05Speaker 1: at some point somebody probably will do something inappropriate to you,
- 7:08Speaker 1: And yeah, but I'm sorry to hear that. But hopefully
- 7:13Speaker 1: the man's wife got his surgery. Cariinda, you have you
- 7:20Speaker 1: had an experience with scams? Do you like them? Do
- 7:22Speaker 1: you hate them? Are you a mark? Are you a scammer?
- 7:25Speaker 3: Well?
- 7:25Speaker 4: I was like, I was listening to the examples of scams,
- 7:27Speaker 4: and I was just like, oh, I thought you meant
- 7:29Speaker 4: a scam was like how to get like a free
- 7:31Speaker 4: burger at Burger King. I didn't know it was like
- 7:34Speaker 4: how to avoid getting robbed on the street or sexually assault.
- 7:40Speaker 4: How I would categorize a scam. I was gonna come
- 7:42Speaker 4: on and tell you how to get to like a
- 7:44Speaker 4: front section at Madison Square Garden when you only pay for.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Like a back ticket. Like that's those are.
- 7:49Speaker 1: My version that scams. Do you how do you do that?
- 7:54Speaker 2: I am? I was thinking of it.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever I mean, I'm listen,
- 7:58Speaker 4: we've all been scammed. We live in a Marria, we're human,
- 8:00Speaker 4: We've all been scammed. But I can't think of one
- 8:02Speaker 4: that actually like screwed me over long term. Yet that's
- 8:07Speaker 4: kind of requires with like, you know, there's a lot
- 8:09Speaker 4: of opportunities to get scammed in being a comedian. When
- 8:13Speaker 4: you start out, there's a lot of people who like, say,
- 8:15Speaker 4: like to perform five ten minutes, you have to bring
- 8:18Speaker 4: ten or twenty people to this show. I mean, I
- 8:21Speaker 4: think Bringer shows in general are a scam, but it's
- 8:25Speaker 4: like a very transparent scam.
- 8:27Speaker 1: It is, but I that's a scam. That and scams
- 8:30Speaker 1: don't have to be something super huge. That can be
- 8:32Speaker 1: the smallest little things any way you can get over.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Bringer scams are definitely when I was living in New
- 8:37Speaker 1: York City, like shout out to all my friends from college,
- 8:40Speaker 1: my relatives who are in the Tri State who I
- 8:43Speaker 1: would trick and to come and to see me do
- 8:45Speaker 1: five minutes to stand up just so and they and
- 8:47Speaker 1: you know, they make you pay. They make them pay
- 8:49Speaker 1: at the door. Then they got a drink minimums.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Drink minimum to see a bunch of newbies do five yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Right to see me the person you already know, do some.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Jokes talk Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Carin Corin is
- 9:04Speaker 3: really good at like getting things, like she said, like
- 9:06Speaker 3: she can sneak into a front row or like sneak
- 9:08Speaker 3: into a party or something like scamming people that doesn't
- 9:11Speaker 3: involve taking their money, but involves, like, you know, getting
- 9:13Speaker 3: something more than what you paid for.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Now, that's still a scam. I still want to harken
- 9:16Speaker 1: back to the Madison Square Garden, like, how did the
- 9:18Speaker 1: girls get to the front?
- 9:20Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think this was there was a
- 9:22Speaker 4: there's This is something I learned on another podcast. It
- 9:24Speaker 4: wasn't my idea, but someone just like brought it up
- 9:27Speaker 4: in a segment that in the olden days, you could
- 9:30Speaker 4: buy a one ticket to the front standing room only
- 9:35Speaker 4: of a venue like a Madison Square Garden or probably
- 9:37Speaker 4: works on any of them, and then you just switch
- 9:40Speaker 4: it out between your friends because you can scan in
- 9:43Speaker 4: using the same barcode as many times as possible. So
- 9:46Speaker 4: I guess in the age of like digital phones and stuff,
- 9:49Speaker 4: you could just if as long as you have the barcode.
- 9:51Speaker 4: You basically go with a group of five, you know
- 9:54Speaker 4: or more, and everyone is using the same standing room
- 9:57Speaker 4: barcode and the other people get noseble seats. But then
- 10:00Speaker 4: everyone can uh end up in standing room, you know,
- 10:03Speaker 4: especially because there's no seat that you have to end
- 10:05Speaker 4: up in. It's just standing in this open space. So
- 10:09Speaker 4: that was the scam. I don't know if that still
- 10:11Speaker 4: works or not, or but sounds good to me.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I think that would still work because the thing about
- 10:16Speaker 1: that is you're not using the barcode to get into
- 10:19Speaker 1: the venue. You buy the cheapest seats up in the nosebleedze,
- 10:22Speaker 1: and then everybody uses the one VIP ticket, which they
- 10:25Speaker 1: know it's already been scam because you had to get
- 10:27Speaker 1: in there, so that's cute. And then we just keep
- 10:29Speaker 1: passing it back somebody go to the bathroom or hand
- 10:31Speaker 1: it outside of the section. I like this, Okay, Yeah.
- 10:34Speaker 4: The only thing is you need to know the structure
- 10:35Speaker 4: because obviously they change different stadiums depending if it's like
- 10:38Speaker 4: a sports game or if it's a concert. But Madison
- 10:42Speaker 4: Square Garden in similar sites show you the layout of
- 10:45Speaker 4: the arena that you're going to ahead of times, so
- 10:47Speaker 4: you know where the stage is going to be, you
- 10:49Speaker 4: know if there's a general admission area, so it only
- 10:53Speaker 4: works with places with general admission spaces. But yes, seemingly,
- 10:56Speaker 4: I don't see how they could really work around that.
- 10:58Speaker 1: So you just have to do it basically like Ocean's
- 11:00Speaker 1: eleven style. You get on Ticketmaster and you print out
- 11:03Speaker 1: the venue and y'all are all strategizing in the nose please.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I love this. I mean, guys, give it a try.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Especially during these pandemic times. This concerts are probably hella unorganized,
- 11:16Speaker 1: so you know, this is probably really the time to
- 11:19Speaker 1: just get up on stage so you can just get
- 11:21Speaker 1: Beyonce sweat right on your face.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Yes, I'm always in the front row for her.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I haven't been in the front o yet. I've been
- 11:27Speaker 1: to two Beyce concerts. I need. I want to do
- 11:29Speaker 1: the VIP experience.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Beehive on the last tour, the on the Rung two
- 11:33Speaker 3: tour where they had like jay Z and Beyonce had
- 11:35Speaker 3: the stage was so fucking cool and they had this
- 11:37Speaker 3: object that went over the front row section, like yeah
- 11:40Speaker 3: so you could oh so you could see the back
- 11:42Speaker 3: of them in the front of them without moving.
- 11:44Speaker 2: It was awesome.
- 11:45Speaker 1: It was I was there, but I was like on
- 11:46Speaker 1: the side, like up in the audience area, and I
- 11:49Speaker 1: was like, I need but they weren't my ticket. So
- 11:50Speaker 1: I'm like, next time, I'm gonna get so close that
- 11:52Speaker 1: I have to work Beyonces fan, Like I want to
- 11:54Speaker 1: be behind the fan moving it, you know, like, get
- 11:57Speaker 1: sure were keeping our queen dry s y, dry and cool.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But yeah, no, that's great. I think much of life
- 12:05Speaker 1: is a scam, so from big to small, if you
- 12:08Speaker 1: can get over just a little bit, I'm into it. Scam. Come,
- 12:16Speaker 1: let's get to our first segment here, what's hot and fraud.
- 12:18Speaker 1: This is where we warn our listeners about popping scams
- 12:20Speaker 1: in the street, and more often than not these days,
- 12:22Speaker 1: we get a letter from you guys as always, snitch

- 12:52Speaker 1: scam for you. It happened twenty years ago. Okay, a
- 12:54Speaker 1: moment in time, but the time fin so that's just
- 12:57Speaker 1: two thousand and two. When I heard twenty years ago,
- 12:59Speaker 1: my brain said nineteen eighty. But no, that's.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Oops.
- 13:06Speaker 1: That's why I pause because I was about to be like, okay,
- 13:07Speaker 1: shoulder pass, okay, way too much blood. But no, this
- 13:10Speaker 1: is two thousand and two. This is jout fits where
- 13:14Speaker 1: your stomach is for some reason.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Yeah jeans, oh.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yes, low riji jeans were just the pants. Just stop
- 13:21Speaker 1: at your glitterists. Yes, that's where they end, right, pubes
- 13:26Speaker 1: hanging out on top? Why why why did we let
- 13:28Speaker 1: people do that to us? Jen Z was trying to
- 13:32Speaker 1: bring it back and we said, no, those pants. Don't
- 13:35Speaker 1: let that one back. Okay, if anything, bring the waiste higher,
- 13:39Speaker 1: make the top of the pants a boss.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Yes, I want to.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I want the pants to get hit my neck. So
- 13:47Speaker 1: twenty years ago, I was a college student on study
- 13:50Speaker 1: abroad in Italy. First study abroad is a scam and
- 13:53Speaker 1: I loved it. It is it's lokey as a scam.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Please let me go and study of broad Now, I'd
- 13:58Speaker 1: appreciate it so much more than when I was a
- 13:59Speaker 1: baby college student. That's true. When I was in London.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I think I appreciated it. I think I did things,
- 14:04Speaker 1: but I could have did more. But yeah, I'm with you.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Did you guys study abroad?
- 14:08Speaker 2: No? No, but I went. I went.
- 14:10Speaker 3: I went to London when I was in eighth grade,
- 14:13Speaker 3: and I was just like, what the fuck is this? Like,
- 14:15Speaker 3: I was amazed by I should have studied abrons.
- 14:17Speaker 1: I mean, studying a broad really just gave me a
- 14:19Speaker 1: sense of how trash America was. I remember going to
- 14:21Speaker 1: the grocery store and they just had the eggs out.
- 14:23Speaker 1: They weren't refrigerated or bleached.
- 14:25Speaker 2: I said, what whoa brown egg doesn't sit.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Out in the air and whatnot, and they were like,
- 14:30Speaker 1: this is how eggs supposed to look. I cracked the yolk.
- 14:32Speaker 1: It was like orange, and I said, why, y'all right.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Right, because the chickens are healthier. Yeah.
- 14:37Speaker 1: We were taught about processed, dyed foods, honestly, green eggs
- 14:41Speaker 1: and ham propaganda. That's when we started learning about our
- 14:44Speaker 1: foods being dyed and the FDA sucking us up in America.
- 14:47Speaker 1: We was like, yeah, green eggs, why not? Makes sense? Yeah?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 14:51Speaker 3: When you when I when I traveled to London as
- 14:53Speaker 3: an adult, because I've been there a couple of times,
- 14:55Speaker 3: it's wild to know like certain food is illegal there,
- 14:58Speaker 3: Like it's banned because it's got ingredients that are poisonous,
- 15:01Speaker 3: And you're like, de what that says something.
- 15:04Speaker 1: It also fucks me up that like Fireball, I guess
- 15:07Speaker 1: has some anti freeze components when it's sold in America,
- 15:10Speaker 1: but then when it sold everywhere else, they just take
- 15:12Speaker 1: that ingredient out. And I'm like, oh my gosh, y'all
- 15:14Speaker 1: just take it off for everybody. I don't know. Y'all like, no,
- 15:16Speaker 1: we gonna keep it in America.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Wow wow Wowow that makes sense.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so she says, I'm studying abroad up the baby
- 15:24Speaker 1: college students said I'd have been in Italy about a
- 15:27Speaker 1: month and could fake my way through carrying on a
- 15:29Speaker 1: conversation in Italian, and was going on a group trip
- 15:32Speaker 1: down the coast for a few nights. We stayed at
- 15:34Speaker 1: a typical European tourist hotel, not fancy, but nicer than
- 15:39Speaker 1: the hostels. Okay, I've stayed at one of those because
- 15:41Speaker 1: I couldn't do the hostile situation. I don't know how
- 15:43Speaker 1: you sleep. I get it if the finances are where
- 15:46Speaker 1: the final and they where they financing, but I would
- 15:48Speaker 1: just be very nervous to sleep in a room on
- 15:50Speaker 1: a cot with a bunch of strangers, like with all
- 15:52Speaker 1: my belongings, Like I got to sleep on top of
- 15:54Speaker 1: my belongings.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Yeah, like hugging your suitcas. Yeah.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I feel like there was probably a time and a
- 15:58Speaker 1: place in life where it was safer, but now it's
- 16:01Speaker 1: just too scary out here. But I see it. So,
- 16:04Speaker 1: it says the one hotel in Postano was lovely with
- 16:07Speaker 1: beach access and a big patty. Girl, what does this
- 16:10Speaker 1: got to do with the scam? Okay, so she said
- 16:13Speaker 1: she was at a nice spot. I'm skipping ahead a
- 16:14Speaker 1: little bit, Madly. I appreciate you painting a picture, but girl,
- 16:17Speaker 1: we got we got things to do. So she says,
- 16:20Speaker 1: she said, this Q spot and Persano and there's this
- 16:22Speaker 1: man and he's like playing the piano and it's so beautiful,
- 16:26Speaker 1: and Madeline says she started paying attention and looking at
- 16:30Speaker 1: what he was playing, and then more importantly watching his
- 16:33Speaker 1: pants on the keyboard. He wasn't actually playing the music.
- 16:37Speaker 1: He had pre programmed tunes and would hit play and
- 16:40Speaker 1: then just dramatically mashes ray around the keys with a
- 16:43Speaker 1: beautiful sense of drama.
- 16:46Speaker 2: I've seen those scam.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I've seen those grand pianos and hotel lobbies that are playing.
- 16:53Speaker 3: They never have a person behind them because they're they
- 16:56Speaker 3: play by themselves. Wow, that's that's I mean, how do
- 16:59Speaker 3: you sleep at night?
- 17:01Speaker 1: I mean I love it because I love a street performance.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I had a girl that I knew doing comedy. She
- 17:07Speaker 1: told me that she made her money in New York City,
- 17:10Speaker 1: like playing her guitar in the subway, and she said
- 17:13Speaker 1: the way to do it, like she would pay rent
- 17:15Speaker 1: off of this. The way to do it is like
- 17:16Speaker 1: so I was always thinking, like the girls don't ever
- 17:17Speaker 1: have nothing in the little guitar case, Like it'll be
- 17:20Speaker 1: like maybe a one, it's a you know, maybe it's
- 17:22Speaker 1: a five. And she was like, oh, that's on purpose.
- 17:24Speaker 1: So you never want to have too much money in
- 17:26Speaker 1: the bowl because people will be like, oh she got
- 17:29Speaker 1: it today, Like I don't have priver, no money. She rich.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And then if you don't have enough, they're like oh,
- 17:34Speaker 1: she asked, ain't nobody tipping? Like I'm not giving her
- 17:36Speaker 1: my money. But if you have like one five dollar bill,
- 17:39Speaker 1: that says somebody thought you was popping. And then like
- 17:41Speaker 1: to a couple of one, she said like that's the key,
- 17:45Speaker 1: that's what you really want to keep in there so
- 17:46Speaker 1: we start getting more. Yeah, you take it out. When
- 17:48Speaker 1: you get more, you take it out and you leave that.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So it's like she ain't got enough. She only got
- 17:51Speaker 1: eight dollars, so I should tip. But you know what
- 17:54Speaker 1: I mean, So I get it. There's a lot of
- 17:57Speaker 1: street performers and I stream. I've seen street performers New
- 18:00Speaker 1: York performing on the train platform and then I saw
- 18:03Speaker 1: them like later on the Voice and shit like so so.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Yeah, the street performers here are like top, top notch.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a waiting list to get in the subway.
- 18:13Speaker 4: And then you know, they started making professional banners for them,
- 18:15Speaker 4: which to me kind of took the fun out of it.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Like if you have a professional banner given by the
- 18:20Speaker 4: New York City you know, Arts Commission or something, that
- 18:24Speaker 4: kind of takes the fun out of me wanting to
- 18:26Speaker 4: support you because now I know New York City is
- 18:29Speaker 4: behind it, Like I want to believe that you are
- 18:31Speaker 4: struggling easy, even if you're not. Even if I go
- 18:34Speaker 4: to your Instagram and you have a million followers, which
- 18:36Speaker 4: is very common here in New York City.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to get on the train, and
- 18:41Speaker 1: this time for showtime and there's like a warm up comic. Oh,
- 18:45Speaker 1: like hey y'all, ya saw the Metro went up twenty
- 18:48Speaker 1: five cents in a few minutes. I'll be bringing out Showtime.
- 18:52Speaker 1: They're all named Showtime, no matter who they are, and
- 18:56Speaker 1: they'll be pole dancing on the train. But but yeah,
- 19:00Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want it to be commercialized
- 19:02Speaker 1: New York State, that's wag. I don't want to see
- 19:03Speaker 1: an official banner. I want to feel like the cops
- 19:05Speaker 1: could come any time and they gott to just pick
- 19:08Speaker 1: up their ship and.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Run like exactly.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. Honestly, I don't want to see more
- 19:14Speaker 1: than one amp. I'm like, if it's giving studio quality,
- 19:17Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on? Like it's super professional. So yeah,
- 19:22Speaker 1: I'm with you on that career. That's that's a little
- 19:24Speaker 1: too much for me. So he's obviously like playing around
- 19:27Speaker 1: or whatever. So Madeline says, I went up to him
- 19:29Speaker 1: when he was on break and I told him in
- 19:31Speaker 1: Italian because my study abroad scam, you know, that's what
- 19:34Speaker 1: she was studying, was at Taliana. She said the songs
- 19:38Speaker 1: were beautiful, but his theatrics were even more impressive. That's
- 19:40Speaker 1: what she told him. He sort of looked at me
- 19:42Speaker 1: for a minute and then busted out laughing and confirmed
- 19:44Speaker 1: that yes, he was just faking his way through. The
- 19:47Speaker 1: hotel paid him the fake play for tourists, and it
- 19:50Speaker 1: was a great gig. More power to him. Wow.
- 19:52Speaker 3: So and they probably paid him way less because it
- 19:54Speaker 3: wasn't an actual magician.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Magician, he was magician.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a magician.
- 20:01Speaker 3: He wasn't a musician, right right, They get paid less.
- 20:05Speaker 1: So this is actually not an uncommon scam. If you
- 20:08Speaker 1: see street musicians, take a look at what they're actually doing.
- 20:10Speaker 1: We have a guy here in town who sets up
- 20:12Speaker 1: with a violin in a store parking lot and pretends
- 20:14Speaker 1: to play some truly schlocky violin tunes. But if you
- 20:17Speaker 1: look carefully, he's not playing the violin. It's just music
- 20:19Speaker 1: coming out of his speakers. He gets a good amount
- 20:21Speaker 1: of money, though, and more than what he would get
- 20:23Speaker 1: just panhandling. It's a good grave, Okay, I like it.
- 20:27Speaker 3: I'm gonna start looking at musicians on the street way now.
- 20:31Speaker 3: I never looked at the fingers like I never because
- 20:33Speaker 3: I was like, of course they're playing, why would they not.
- 20:35Speaker 2: It's New York. Everyone has got passion.
- 20:37Speaker 1: I don't want to knock their hustle.
- 20:39Speaker 4: I'm kind of I honestly think they deserve the money.
- 20:42Speaker 2: They deserve the money.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Because they are to me, like lying is so stressful
- 20:47Speaker 4: and there's so many things that you have to remember
- 20:49Speaker 4: and follow, and so to fake, to go through faking
- 20:52Speaker 4: it for that long is a performance and a skill
- 20:55Speaker 4: in and of itself. So I think they deserve the
- 20:57Speaker 4: money just as much as a musician.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I can you walk to a concert and people
- 21:01Speaker 1: are lip syncing, which the girls lip sync at the
- 21:04Speaker 1: concerts all the time, or there's usually always a backing track.
- 21:06Speaker 1: It's like you're still watching them bop around and walk around,
- 21:09Speaker 1: and you know they're giving you something. You're getting some entertainment.
- 21:13Speaker 1: So I like this. Also, like if you have a
- 21:15Speaker 1: guitar and you never learned, or if you have something
- 21:18Speaker 1: a keyboard, y'all get out there with your speaker and
- 21:21Speaker 1: start playing. Just play the music through the speakers and
- 21:24Speaker 1: just mash away like Beethoven and see how much money
- 21:26Speaker 1: you get. Like it sounds like a way that we
- 21:28Speaker 1: could all get involved.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Like, yeah, listen, there's a whole there's a whole TV
- 21:32Speaker 4: shows dedicated to lip syncing. Like, I feel like faking
- 21:35Speaker 4: a guitar is gonna be on you know, a network
- 21:38Speaker 4: next week, So just get ahead, start.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Exactly, Like, I see nothing wrong with this, especially I
- 21:44Speaker 1: think the violin is probably the best one to do
- 21:45Speaker 1: because the piano and the guitar, like even the untrained eye,
- 21:49Speaker 1: like I know where all the chords are, like I
- 21:51Speaker 1: had to learn that, you know, and from choir and shit.
- 21:53Speaker 1: So I can probably tell if you're not actually playing
- 21:55Speaker 1: the song. But if you're on the violin, I ain't
- 21:58Speaker 1: got no clue. You just move him fingers around and
- 22:00Speaker 1: just you know, give me a little neck action, make
- 22:02Speaker 1: sure that neck is really rubberend. You know, you know,
- 22:05Speaker 1: you just got to a little network. That's all. It
- 22:07Speaker 1: is a little network and a little movement.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Yeah, just so Yeah, as someone who plays the violin,
- 22:12Speaker 4: you can definitely fake playing the violin because like I
- 22:17Speaker 4: would even fake it sometimes when in orchestra the music
- 22:20Speaker 4: would get too difficult for the performance, I would fake
- 22:23Speaker 4: it because it's more important to look good in the
- 22:26Speaker 4: performance than to sound good. Because I knew there was
- 22:28Speaker 4: other people in the orchestra who knew how to play better.
- 22:30Speaker 4: So I was like, no, I'm just gonna look good,
- 22:32Speaker 4: and everyone did. They commented after the show. They were like,
- 22:35Speaker 4: Karen looks really good up there. I'm like, yeah, I
- 22:37Speaker 4: was faking it.
- 22:37Speaker 1: That's why I hope you were first chair. Scam, I
- 22:40Speaker 1: hope you were first chairing. You were like they.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Were just like she was second chair.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Okay, is that's still good.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Second chair is the best one. Less pressure, way.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Less pressure. First chair gotta play second chairs, just back
- 22:51Speaker 1: and doing vibes, doing doing the neck, giving a serious face,
- 22:55Speaker 1: giving us face, giving us face and neck and a
- 22:58Speaker 1: little bit of harm. Yeah, okay, all right, y'all get
- 23:02Speaker 1: out there and get y'all violince and get a viola,
- 23:05Speaker 1: get some shit that people nobody's gonna know. Get a harp,
- 23:08Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Just start rubbing. Nobody knows
- 23:11Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on with the harp.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Bish.
- 23:12Speaker 1: If you get out here and you sexy and you
- 23:15Speaker 1: look cute and you just rub your hands on the harp,
- 23:18Speaker 1: I will believe it. There is a black, sexy harpist
- 23:20Speaker 1: who really plays the harp. But she's so fine, and
- 23:22Speaker 1: she has so many Instagram followers because she's fine as
- 23:25Speaker 1: hell's harp. But I couldn't. She could literally be playing nothing.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I'd just be like, look at her. All fine, just
- 23:31Speaker 1: rubbing on this huge harp, like, yes, you better rub
- 23:35Speaker 1: it so funny. I feel like we can all get
- 23:40Speaker 1: involved in this guy's You know you need some extra coins,
- 23:42Speaker 1: y'all get out there, go rind an instrument and a
- 23:46Speaker 1: speaker and get it popping. Rub run. I'm as Riguel
- 23:55Speaker 1: Corina Christina with a famous con caper group of criminals.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Actually today, I'm doing this, and honestly, I don't like
- 24:02Speaker 1: peer pressure. I don't like to be bullied by the congregation,
- 24:07Speaker 1: but I am doing a recap episode because you guys,
- 24:10Speaker 1: for those of you who are not OG's of the congregation,
- 24:12Speaker 1: you do not know that we've already covered all of
- 24:14Speaker 1: these scams. Uh, but there have been some developments, and
- 24:17Speaker 1: so we're gonna go back. We're gonna talk about the developments, uh,
- 24:21Speaker 1: the where are they now? The where are the girls?
- 24:23Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about Anna Deelvi, We're gonna be
- 24:26Speaker 1: talking about my queen, Lizzie Holmes, and uh, Simon Levinson,
- 24:32Speaker 1: Simon Levison, Shamon the Tender Swoman, which you guys can't
- 24:36Speaker 1: get enough of, which, guys, again, Miles Grade, I re
- 24:39Speaker 1: released the episode from the paywall. I think it was
- 24:42Speaker 1: like our third episode, so it's out there. You can
- 24:44Speaker 1: go back and get into that as well. Uh so
- 24:46Speaker 1: we're gonna start with Anna. So obviously this has been
- 24:50Speaker 1: the zeitgeist. Shonda Rhimes created a television show about Anna Sorokan,
- 24:56Speaker 1: who was Anna Delvi. Uh if you don't know about Anna,
- 24:59Speaker 1: she was a woman who moved to New York. Y'all
- 25:02Speaker 1: are a New York based so you know, I know,
- 25:05Speaker 1: you guys know the scene. And she came out there
- 25:07Speaker 1: and she pretended to be a socialite. She did a
- 25:10Speaker 1: lot of wire fraud, and she you know, cajoled the
- 25:13Speaker 1: rich girlies and to giving her coins for her social
- 25:17Speaker 1: elite club that she was supposedly going to be making.
- 25:21Speaker 2: I know her story.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Oh you don't know about Anna, No, no, but I've
- 25:24Speaker 3: seen it. I've seen that the thumbnail for that TV
- 25:26Speaker 3: show everywhere. I'm like, oh, who is this woman? Yes?
- 25:29Speaker 2: So yeah, inventing Anna. Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 4: I didn't know the whole story either, but it makes
- 25:33Speaker 4: sense because I was like, socialites is a is a
- 25:36Speaker 4: long way from the life that I lead.
- 25:38Speaker 1: So, oh, y'all weren't seeing her at the Cigar Club, y'all?
- 25:40Speaker 2: Were You don't even know what the cigar club is. Anna,
- 25:46Speaker 2: I'll see her chipotle, she goes.
- 25:48Speaker 1: No, I'll set out there. Yes, so a little background,
- 25:54Speaker 1: we have a picture. We'll get the picture up for
- 25:55Speaker 1: y'all since, Uh, that's lovely. I love that you guys
- 25:58Speaker 1: don't know much about Anna. She's all in those guys.
- 26:01Speaker 1: So now she's thirty one and more widely known as Annadelvi.
- 26:05Speaker 1: So she was a Russian born German con artist. So
- 26:08Speaker 1: she's the one on the right, she's the one with
- 26:10Speaker 1: the brown hair.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, she got scammy eyes.
- 26:13Speaker 1: She really does. It looks like nothing's behind them.
- 26:15Speaker 3: Right, like Elizabeth Holmes, like dead and the eyes yes.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's no soul back there, you know, like
- 26:22Speaker 1: the brain is working, but the soul is like we
- 26:24Speaker 1: we ain't here.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Girl, Yeah we left a while ago.
- 26:27Speaker 1: And that was actually one of my favorite things about
- 26:29Speaker 1: Anna is during her sentencing she spoke after she was
- 26:33Speaker 1: sentenced obviously now before and she said, you know, I'm
- 26:36Speaker 1: not I regret nothing. I'm not a good person. And
- 26:40Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I love that.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Ye really owning herself.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Wow, Like too many bad people are presenting to be
- 26:47Speaker 1: good people. If you bad, just say that, Yeah, you know,
- 26:49Speaker 1: you'll still have friends people like some people have bad people.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you might have more friends and you'll
- 26:56Speaker 4: definitely have more girlfriends if you're a guy.
- 26:58Speaker 1: So right, and let's not especially in comedy, we know
- 27:01Speaker 1: so many bad, nasty men who are out here getting
- 27:03Speaker 1: a coin in a check and still on stage talking
- 27:06Speaker 1: about cancelation by they're still making money. People love bad people.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Just come out and.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Say you're bad, you are correct ray and at least we.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Can avoid you if we want to, if we want
- 27:17Speaker 1: to hang out with your can right, I think that's
- 27:19Speaker 1: just fair. So from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen, she
- 27:22Speaker 1: lived among New York's wealthy elite, pretending to be a
- 27:25Speaker 1: German ers. She was defrauding hotels, banks, and acquaintances. She
- 27:29Speaker 1: was eventually caught and arrested in twenty seventeen after a
- 27:32Speaker 1: trip to Morocco gone wrong and several evictions. So, in short,
- 27:38Speaker 1: she would go to these hotels and she, you know,
- 27:40Speaker 1: she had the drip, She had the costume of a
- 27:42Speaker 1: rich person. So she's wearing the latest label. She's giving
- 27:45Speaker 1: you the Gucci Findi's the Pradas, a lot of you know,
- 27:48Speaker 1: and she would give out one hundred dollars bills as
- 27:50Speaker 1: tips to the weight staff, like it was nothing. But
- 27:54Speaker 1: the hotel would be like okay, Anna, like but what
- 27:56Speaker 1: about the room though, And she'd be like, oh, why
- 27:58Speaker 1: are clowns in the wire, like why our transfer will
- 28:01Speaker 1: come to you? So do not talk to be amount
- 28:03Speaker 1: of money. That's weird. You need money? Are you poor?
- 28:06Speaker 1: Like she would gas like them and be like it's
- 28:09Speaker 1: good to know that.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Yeah, you always hear about men gas lighting. I'm like, yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 3: good for you, girl.
- 28:14Speaker 1: True feminism, more women in gas lighting. But also that's
- 28:20Speaker 1: just a tool.
- 28:20Speaker 2: It is her accent actually that thick in real life.
- 28:23Speaker 1: It's it's a little weird. I think that the actress
- 28:26Speaker 1: who played her, which I noticed girl's name and it
- 28:30Speaker 1: is fleeting me right now because she also is in Ozark.
- 28:32Speaker 1: What is that girl's name? Anyway, she played her. People
- 28:34Speaker 1: are like this accent is weird. We don't know if
- 28:36Speaker 1: it's it, and it actually, like she said, she studied
- 28:38Speaker 1: the girl and if you hear Annadelbie talk, it is
- 28:40Speaker 1: a weird European. We don't know where she's from accent Julia.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Garden German, German and Russian. That's too separate. That's very different.
- 28:50Speaker 3: So yeah, I imagine if she's she.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Said, I'm from all countries in Europe, Ravens simonas from
- 28:58Speaker 1: all countries in Africa, an adelbe from all countries in Europe.
- 29:03Speaker 1: I took me out and I love I love the
- 29:05Speaker 1: gas flighting of like you need to talk about money,
- 29:07Speaker 1: like why do you need money so bad? And especially
- 29:09Speaker 1: Amerrican thing like especially like I knew you guys, know
- 29:13Speaker 1: as people who probably freelance at some point if you
- 29:15Speaker 1: work in comedy or you know, gotten paid for a
- 29:17Speaker 1: gig or whatever, and even acting. One of the things
- 29:19Speaker 1: especial when I was coming up is like I would
- 29:21Speaker 1: do something, they'd be like the net is like thirty
- 29:23Speaker 1: or the net is forty five or like, and that
- 29:25Speaker 1: means like when they do their payroll, like when you'll
- 29:28Speaker 1: get paid for the actual job. Sometimes you'd be waiting
- 29:30Speaker 1: months after you did a job to get paid. And
- 29:32Speaker 1: if you would hit them up, they'd be like, I mean,
- 29:34Speaker 1: do you need money? Like why are you hitting it?
- 29:36Speaker 1: Like are you brother?
- 29:37Speaker 2: Do you get guilty?
- 29:39Speaker 3: Right?
- 29:39Speaker 2: And you're like, yeah, do you need money?
- 29:41Speaker 3: Right?
- 29:41Speaker 1: Do you have money? Are you?
- 29:43Speaker 2: I did the job? Yeah?
- 29:45Speaker 1: Right?
- 29:45Speaker 2: And you gaslight. The gas lighter boom.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Right, And that's just the truth. But that's such a
- 29:50Speaker 1: tool that people use in our country. So I love
- 29:52Speaker 1: that she was using it back on the hotels, like
- 29:54Speaker 1: why are you talking to me about money? Like this
- 29:56Speaker 1: is a hotel you don't have mommy, I said this
- 30:01Speaker 1: the wire, So she would tell the girls the wires
- 30:03Speaker 1: were coming, the wires. She ain't ever been near a wire.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Oh man.
- 30:08Speaker 1: So eventually she was caught and arrested. In twenty seventeen,
- 30:14Speaker 1: she was indicted on multiple counts of grand larciny and
- 30:17Speaker 1: was found guilty of eight charges. In twenty nineteen, the
- 30:21Speaker 1: once wealthy socialite of downtown New York was incarcerated at
- 30:25Speaker 1: Rikers O Rikers, Rikers, that's just prison, prison.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
- 30:36Speaker 3: My friend used to work as a security guard Rikers.
- 30:39Speaker 3: He was like one year that was all I could do.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I'm like, ugh, security, you're responsible for keeping people in Rikers.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Oh no, yep, if any more than just the water.
- 30:51Speaker 1: If I was security at Rikers, I would definitely get
- 30:53Speaker 1: fired because the girls would be climbing over the fence.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I'd be like, what do you want me to do?
- 30:57Speaker 1: That's yeah, hands. I need to get right. Do you
- 31:02Speaker 1: know what they make weapons out up in here? Everything?
- 31:05Speaker 1: I saw somebody stab somebody with bread. I said, hey,
- 31:07Speaker 1: you get bread hard enough to stab? No? No, could
- 31:13Speaker 1: have been me.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Wait, so did she get out?
- 31:16Speaker 1: Is she?
- 31:17Speaker 2: Where the hell is she now?
- 31:18Speaker 1: So she was found guilty of the a charges in
- 31:21Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. She I believe she is still in the prison.
- 31:25Speaker 1: So the one wealthy socialide of downtown New York was incarcerated,
- 31:29Speaker 1: and then she was given a sentence of four to
- 31:31Speaker 1: twelve years in state prison and fined twenty four thousand
- 31:34Speaker 1: dollars in order to pay restitution for one hundred and
- 31:37Speaker 1: ninety nine thousand dollars. She served two of those years
- 31:39Speaker 1: and was given an early release. However, she was arrested
- 31:42Speaker 1: six weeks later by Ice for unintentionally overstaying her visa.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Now what she got on two years they let her out?
- 31:52Speaker 3: I mean, she's.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Said that much money though, to ruin your whole life,
- 31:56Speaker 4: I'm kind of not impressed by one hundred and ninety
- 31:58Speaker 4: nine thousand dollars.
- 31:59Speaker 1: No, yeah, it was more than that. She stole more
- 32:03Speaker 1: than that. That's what she had to pay in restitution.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Now for me, she's doing hand to hand interpersonal scams.
- 32:08Speaker 1: She's telling these people, I'm gonna start the social club.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Give me the coins for the social club. She had
- 32:12Speaker 1: applied for loans at banks and faked collateral saying that
- 32:16Speaker 1: she had money coming from her father, and faked all
- 32:18Speaker 1: these bank statements and shit. So that's really what she
- 32:20Speaker 1: got into the trouble. But for me, it's like if
- 32:23Speaker 1: somebody asked me for money, much like the guy on
- 32:25Speaker 1: the street who said that his wife needed surgery, Like
- 32:29Speaker 1: and I give the money and she don't need the surgery.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I don't know if we need to send people to
- 32:32Speaker 1: jail for that. But she's fucking with banks. So when
- 32:35Speaker 1: the fd I see it gets involved.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Yeah, after the government's like, don't please, don't screw over
- 32:41Speaker 3: these poor banks.
- 32:42Speaker 2: They can't handle they can't take the loss.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just mister Bank of America crying on the
- 32:49Speaker 1: witness stamp.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Yeah. So I wonder if she like changes her look.
- 32:54Speaker 3: I guess like after you are known for a scammer,
- 32:56Speaker 3: you just like cut your hair or dye your hair,
- 32:58Speaker 3: get color contacts or something.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think she's trying to change her look.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Anna's into the fame, She's into the cloud. She wants
- 33:05Speaker 1: the girls to know that it would tell them it
- 33:08Speaker 1: was me. You know, she's in jail, Like tell them
- 33:10Speaker 1: it was me.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 33:12Speaker 1: And what's also interesting to me about this is like,
- 33:15Speaker 1: how is Ice gonna pull up first of all ices? Ass? Fuck? Ice? Yeah,
- 33:19Speaker 1: but this woman was in prison. How A'm gonna be like, well,
- 33:21Speaker 1: you didn't find your paperwork to keep your vs. The current.
- 33:24Speaker 3: She was in the jail right right, She had no reach,
- 33:27Speaker 3: there was no paper. They wouldn't give her a pen.
- 33:28Speaker 2: That's right.
- 33:29Speaker 3: She was studying abroad at Rikers right right, That island
- 33:33Speaker 3: has no writing utensils.
- 33:36Speaker 1: So as of February twenty twenty two, Anna is still
- 33:39Speaker 1: in custody at this time in an Immigration and Customs
- 33:42Speaker 1: Enforcement jail sale in upstate New York, waiting to see
- 33:44Speaker 1: if she'll get deported back to Germany. In exchange for
- 33:47Speaker 1: the rights to her story, Netflix played Anna three hundred
- 33:50Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollars to produce the limited series Inventing Anna. Now, Anna,
- 33:54Speaker 1: I think you got scamm because three hundred twenty.
- 33:56Speaker 2: K that's not a lot.
- 33:58Speaker 1: That's not enough, says Nephlix, gonna get the bag and
- 34:01Speaker 1: they run a their prices up.
- 34:03Speaker 3: I think you right right, Yeah, they're monthly. Their monthly
- 34:05Speaker 3: price just went up. Actually, well, she probably didn't have representation,
- 34:09Speaker 3: so when she probably didn't have an agent to be like,
- 34:11Speaker 3: we need to ask for more.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Yes, you should use your one phone Calliday to like
- 34:16Speaker 1: hit up at entertainment.
- 34:16Speaker 4: It's so funny that she's like in jail and then
- 34:18Speaker 4: Netflix is, you know, just getting celebrated for making this
- 34:22Speaker 4: documentary or I mean this not this series, the scripted series,
- 34:26Speaker 4: when they're giving money to this person who was arrested
- 34:30Speaker 4: for scamming out people.
- 34:31Speaker 2: No one ever.
- 34:32Speaker 4: People always are very selective about who they place blame on.
- 34:36Speaker 2: So that's very funny to.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Me, right, So she used the funds to pay back
- 34:40Speaker 1: her victims in full, but apparently there was not enough
- 34:43Speaker 1: for Ice. So in a letter published shortly before the
- 34:46Speaker 1: release of the show, Anna details her recent experience saying
- 34:49Speaker 1: I am here because I am here because Immigration and
- 34:52Speaker 1: custom Enforcement decided that my early marriage release from prison
- 34:57Speaker 1: means nothing to them, despite being perfectly self suffic when
- 35:00Speaker 1: I left on my own devices, They're saying, I am
- 35:04Speaker 1: a present and continuous danger to the community. Now, I
- 35:07Speaker 1: will say, Anna, you came over here on a visa.
- 35:09Speaker 1: The biggest thing I think on visas in any country
- 35:13Speaker 1: is don't do no crime in the country.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Right, And that's that's pretty fair. That's a fair ask.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Like, that's like just like number one. They're like, don't
- 35:22Speaker 1: do no murders, and you know, and also don't do
- 35:25Speaker 1: no other crimes.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Right, because then what we don't want. You're not a
- 35:30Speaker 3: welcomed guest.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Right. This is like if you're a guest at somebody's
- 35:33Speaker 1: house and you steal all a silverware, it's.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Like, yeah, girl, Like they they don't want you to
- 35:39Speaker 3: come to their party, right, It's.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Like, we invite you to the part of girl and
- 35:43Speaker 1: you stole my TV Like, yeah, we're upset.
- 35:46Speaker 2: She's so detached from reality. That's so funny. Holy shit,
- 35:50Speaker 2: that's really funny.
- 35:52Speaker 1: So she also goes on to describe that she hasn't
- 35:54Speaker 1: seen a doctor in years despite having contracted COVID in January,
- 35:58Speaker 1: as well as her frustrations with the bureaucracy affecting her detainment.
- 36:01Speaker 1: The most recent twist from Ice is that this is
- 36:04Speaker 1: her again. The most recent twist from Ice is that
- 36:06Speaker 1: I've been waiting since November for a decision to reissue
- 36:10Speaker 1: a letter that never arrived here. So basically, she ain't
- 36:14Speaker 1: getting mailed. She's just wanting to get the letters. And
- 36:18Speaker 1: as Inventing Anna is released, it's still unknown whether Anna
- 36:21Speaker 1: will be deported back to her home country. So when
- 36:23Speaker 1: it was dropped on Netflix, she's sitting in entertainment at
- 36:27Speaker 1: ICE waiting to see if they're gonna send her back
- 36:29Speaker 1: to Germany.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Wow, so she didn't get to go to the premiere.
- 36:34Speaker 1: No, she did not get to walk the carpet, which
- 36:36Speaker 1: is unfortunate. I feel like Ice could have gave her
- 36:39Speaker 1: a furlough to go to Hollywood and hit the carpet.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Yeah, just real quick and then come back.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Right. They got Ice attention in La for sure, Like
- 36:51Speaker 1: she just transfer over here real quick. Take somebody with her.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody at ICE, you know, fuck up ass
- 36:56Speaker 1: Ice would love to go to a Hollywood premiere, you know,
- 37:00Speaker 1: get some free cocktails or some crew to tabitch like
- 37:04Speaker 1: it could have been a moment. I'm a little upset
- 37:07Speaker 1: that it didn't happen. But yeah, Anna lives in infamy
- 37:11Speaker 1: just because a lot of people are very obsessed with
- 37:13Speaker 1: the fact that she tricked so many rich people. You know,
- 37:15Speaker 1: she had a trainer, a guy who's pretending to be
- 37:17Speaker 1: her trainer. Like, there were so many people who made
- 37:19Speaker 1: her seem rich. And she got arrested after the Morocco
- 37:21Speaker 1: situation because what happened was is she went to Morocco
- 37:23Speaker 1: were homegirl, and then she had got this resort and
- 37:26Speaker 1: said she was paying for it, you know, bing bang boom.
- 37:29Speaker 1: The resort is like, hey girl, y'all haven't actually paid
- 37:33Speaker 1: for the rooms and whatnot, and like, we need currency
- 37:36Speaker 1: and she was like, I have currency. It's coming in
- 37:38Speaker 1: the wire. Just stand next to the telephone pole. It'll
- 37:41Speaker 1: be here soon. And they were like, girl, we need
- 37:44Speaker 1: some collateral. And so her homegirl was like, oh, well,
- 37:46Speaker 1: I'll just put down my card from her job. She
- 37:49Speaker 1: was like, I'll put out my company ammex as as
- 37:53Speaker 1: like a hold. And she's like and she was like,
- 37:55Speaker 1: you're not gonna charge it, right, And they're like, yeah, yeah,
- 37:57Speaker 1: we're not gonna charge it. And of course Anna's like, yeah,
- 37:59Speaker 1: they're not charge money comes soon, you see. And then
- 38:02Speaker 1: of course by the time they end the trip, the
- 38:04Speaker 1: car get is charged in full, like eighty grand for
- 38:07Speaker 1: this true eighty and then homegirl went back to her
- 38:11Speaker 1: job and they say, hey, this, we're looking at your
- 38:14Speaker 1: car charges for the month, and how many times did
- 38:17Speaker 1: you go to Panera with on work business?
- 38:20Speaker 2: Because it's one million times?
- 38:24Speaker 1: Eighty grand is a lie for work lunches, just so
- 38:27Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so she got in trouble, and so
- 38:31Speaker 1: that's when she reported the fraud and everything because but
- 38:35Speaker 1: also like, I don't know if that's girl, you volunteered
- 38:38Speaker 1: your card. It's not like you to get out.
- 38:39Speaker 4: Of your purse, right because the tenders, how do you
- 38:42Speaker 4: say it's fraud when it's like, oh, I had to
- 38:44Speaker 4: pay for a vacation.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I also went on, that's fraud. That's yeah. I didn't
- 38:48Speaker 2: know I could use that as an excuse on vacation.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Hey, I'm gonna start calling AMEX with some new shit, like.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Because they got the good coverage, I'm like.
- 38:57Speaker 1: How about these Gucci loafers without looking at the tag egg,
- 39:00Speaker 1: that's fraud because if I had known how much that
- 39:04Speaker 1: bot them. No, they didn't put they didn't put a
- 39:07Speaker 1: price tag on it. They just rang it up. She
- 39:08Speaker 1: already had my car. So anyways, AMEX, Yeah, that wasn't me.
- 39:13Speaker 2: It was a sales associat right.
- 39:15Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do that. I feel like
- 39:16Speaker 1: if you volunteer your card.
- 39:18Speaker 2: You're liable.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Yeah, just to taste liability. So let's move on to
- 39:24Speaker 1: Lizzie Holmes. Uh, Lizzie Holmes. If you guys don't know,
- 39:28Speaker 1: she's the queen behind Fire.
- 39:29Speaker 2: And Elizabeth Holmes. Yes, I'm obsessed with her.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yes. And for you guys, if you don't know about
- 39:36Speaker 1: Lizzie Holmes, out there, my good sister. She was in
- 39:39Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley. She was giving us a tech costume.
- 39:43Speaker 1: She was giving us an accent. Lizzie would lower her
- 39:47Speaker 1: voice so that she sounded more masculine. She wore the
- 39:51Speaker 1: black turtleneck Steve Jobs, you know, uh cartoon character wardrobe.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Dead in the eyes, Dead in the eyes.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Yeah. So she had the whole uniform, and her whole
- 40:01Speaker 1: thing was the tiny thing, That's what I call it.
- 40:03Speaker 1: So the tiny thing was this little thing that held
- 40:08Speaker 1: blood that supposedly you could take a pin prick from
- 40:12Speaker 1: someone's finger, put the blood in the tiniest thing, and
- 40:16Speaker 1: then run it through the tiny thing three thousand, which
- 40:20Speaker 1: she called the Thomas Edison and then it would tell
- 40:23Speaker 1: you everything about your blood, your DNA, like what diseases
- 40:26Speaker 1: you got, which you you know all of this from
- 40:28Speaker 1: this one blood prick of the tiny thing. And here
- 40:30Speaker 1: we have over here in the corner we have photos
- 40:32Speaker 1: of her holding up the tiny thing. Now, what I
- 40:35Speaker 1: love about this is because it was it was borderline comedy.
- 40:38Speaker 1: She was like, I'm gonna go to Silicon Valley, I'm
- 40:39Speaker 1: gonna drop out school. I'm gonna do everything that the
- 40:41Speaker 1: tech doos do. And then what is what's technology? Make
- 40:45Speaker 1: a thing smaller? That's technology?
- 40:47Speaker 2: She's right, she's yes, why I worked?
- 40:50Speaker 3: Probably that I yeah, because if somebody makes obviously if
- 40:54Speaker 3: she was onto something, this isn't. Yeah damn and the
- 40:59Speaker 3: great the daday eyes dead in the eyes was so
- 41:02Speaker 3: like that would have made me. That's the only thing
- 41:04Speaker 3: that would have given her way. But she's so dead
- 41:06Speaker 3: in the eyes and her voice is so fucking weird
- 41:08Speaker 3: that I'm like, who what are you doing? Like she
- 41:11Speaker 3: just feels like she's in a play all the time.
- 41:13Speaker 1: I feel like that made her relatable to men, because
- 41:16Speaker 1: you know, there's so much intrinsic hate that men are
- 41:18Speaker 1: taught through misogyny, So just general in general hate women
- 41:22Speaker 1: and anything associated with femininity. And so here you have
- 41:26Speaker 1: this woman who's like an amorphous, you know person, you know,
- 41:30Speaker 1: like what's going on. It's dead behind the eyes, there's
- 41:32Speaker 1: no none of that typical she's at warmth. Yeah, she's
- 41:37Speaker 1: got the deep voice she keeps, you know, like and
- 41:40Speaker 1: she's I love it. I love everything about it. And
- 41:44Speaker 1: one of the great parts of this is too is
- 41:45Speaker 1: like she had a lot of venture capitalists, people who
- 41:48Speaker 1: which basically means people with a lot of fucking money
- 41:50Speaker 1: who are just trying to make more money. And what
- 41:52Speaker 1: venture capitalists do is they take their cash, they spread
- 41:54Speaker 1: it out through different investments. They know most of them
- 41:56Speaker 1: will fail, but it's just like gambling in the casino.
- 41:59Speaker 1: If one hits, it makes up for all the money
- 42:00Speaker 1: you sunk into some bullshit. So they're giving her coins
- 42:04Speaker 1: and then they're like, okay, miss Lizzie, where's the Tiny Thing?
- 42:07Speaker 1: Like how does the word? We want a tour of
- 42:09Speaker 1: the Tiny Thing studios where we you know, your office space,
- 42:14Speaker 1: And so they went on the tour. If she made
- 42:16Speaker 1: it so secretive, if you went you had to have
- 42:18Speaker 1: a bodyguard with you. You couldn't use a bathroom without
- 42:21Speaker 1: the bodyguard like they were watching, because basically her whole
- 42:24Speaker 1: thing was it's like, I can't tell y'all how it
- 42:26Speaker 1: works because then somebody's gonna steal the tiny thing idea.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Fuck Pattens, I'm just gonna do it, very very smart.
- 42:33Speaker 1: It's genius, because how do you argue against that. She
- 42:36Speaker 1: was like, I would tell you how this is legitimate,
- 42:38Speaker 1: but then you're gonna steal it and my tiny idea will.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Be gone, right right, Yeah, brilliant.
- 42:45Speaker 1: And people believe that she had a partnership with Walgreens,
- 42:48Speaker 1: but they were like, we would like the tiny thing.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Can you imagine getting your blood pricked at Walgreens for a.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Scam for nothing? For nothing, damn?
- 42:57Speaker 1: And it ended up being that Walgreens was having they
- 42:59Speaker 1: were doing regular testing of the blood, but pretending that
- 43:02Speaker 1: they were using the Thomas Edison tiny Thing three thousand
- 43:05Speaker 1: because it wasn't working. But yeah, she had she had
- 43:09Speaker 1: it all going. So the success was found on the
- 43:12Speaker 1: girl Bosh genius Lizzie Holmes, and it was heralded as
- 43:16Speaker 1: a revolutionary idea thought of by a woman Girl Boss
- 43:19Speaker 1: considered to be young Steve Jobs and oh is this
- 43:22Speaker 1: a court. Look, Marina that we have up right now. Yeah,
- 43:25Speaker 1: Lizzie's giving Lizzen decided to turn it for court. Okay,
- 43:30Speaker 1: yeah she was. She was more browie when she was
- 43:33Speaker 1: doing the text stuff. When it was time to go
- 43:34Speaker 1: to jail.
- 43:35Speaker 2: She was like, well, here's a chameleon.
- 43:37Speaker 1: She said, let me go to drybar real quick.
- 43:40Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the when you go to court. Yeah, she
- 43:43Speaker 4: got the mouth like, I'm just a lady. I didn't
- 43:45Speaker 4: know what I was doing. But when you want to
- 43:47Speaker 4: sell people stuff and get a lot of money, you
- 43:49Speaker 4: have to go I know what I'm doing. I have
- 43:51Speaker 4: the tiny thing with me, right, I'm a tiny thing,
- 43:53Speaker 4: masculine woman.
- 43:54Speaker 1: But then at course she was like, I'm just the
- 43:55Speaker 1: lady with the vagina brain. How would I know how
- 43:58Speaker 1: to rib millions from in this? Yeah? I just have
- 44:01Speaker 1: a blowout, y'all. What y'all talking about? So she was
- 44:05Speaker 1: the world's youngest female self made billionaire and Fairanos was
- 44:10Speaker 1: one of Silicon Valley's like Unicorn startups valued at nine
- 44:14Speaker 1: billion dollars. So at the height of this, at the
- 44:17Speaker 1: height of the tiny thing, they were like nine billion.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Wow.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Yeah, and like that tells you.
- 44:23Speaker 1: About valuation because it's like just like the stock market,
- 44:25Speaker 1: like it's all vibes. Like when mister Big, who was
- 44:29Speaker 1: outed as a nasty man because Peloton can't get a break,
- 44:32Speaker 1: shout out to anybody who work at advertisement a Peloton
- 44:34Speaker 1: because I know y'all stress smoking like three packs a day,
- 44:38Speaker 1: just drinking whole vats of coffee. Because every time y'all
- 44:41Speaker 1: get on the fucking internet, they.
- 44:42Speaker 3: Like Silici's dying on your boy said, it's like their fault,
- 44:46Speaker 3: not yours.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Oh man, every.
- 44:48Speaker 1: Time y'all get on the damn Internet, somebody did something
- 44:50Speaker 1: the Peloton and but you know, and just like that
- 44:53Speaker 1: the Sex and City reboot, when mister Big died on
- 44:56Speaker 1: the Peloton, the stock dropped thirteen percent the next day.
- 45:01Speaker 3: Wow, So people do watch Sex in the City and
- 45:03Speaker 3: invest okay.
- 45:04Speaker 1: I guess they were like, oh no, we gotta get
- 45:07Speaker 1: the sale that Peloton stock.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Okay.
- 45:10Speaker 1: And then after that they did the commercial with mister Big,
- 45:13Speaker 1: and then people were like, mister Bigg's a nasty man
- 45:15Speaker 1: and he's doing the sauce. A Peloton was like, ah, hell,
- 45:18Speaker 1: all right, we're back in the drawing room. Like I
- 45:20Speaker 1: hate to be in Peloton's boardroom. Like, bah, that does suck.
- 45:24Speaker 1: Y'all just sit in their hend delete all day, Like
- 45:26Speaker 1: all right, we'll give her of that, Get rid of that,
- 45:28Speaker 1: give rid OF's.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Like god, that's so fun.
- 45:31Speaker 1: They're not paying y'all enough whatever it is. It's not
- 45:34Speaker 1: enough at Peloton. But so you know, it's all valuation.
- 45:37Speaker 1: All this shit is vibes, because how are you valued
- 45:39Speaker 1: at nine million dollars and essentially all you have is
- 45:41Speaker 1: like an empty pill cap nine billion dollars.
- 45:45Speaker 3: That's skillful stirrup of interest. Man, that is so much energy.
- 45:49Speaker 3: You have to put it up to that ruise. That's
- 45:51Speaker 3: a dedication.
- 45:52Speaker 1: So it all got, you know, it came crashing down.
- 45:55Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen, the company came under investigation for its
- 45:58Speaker 1: medical claims. The company was exposed to be capable of
- 46:00Speaker 1: creating the technology it said it was selling. Lizzie was
- 46:03Speaker 1: exposed as a grand architect of fraud. I love architect
- 46:06Speaker 1: of fraud.
- 46:07Speaker 2: That's class, that's what it said.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to think that I have been
- 46:12Speaker 1: robbed by several architects of fraud.
- 46:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes it feel like you were less naive.
- 46:17Speaker 4: Right, they got a degree, Right, they had drawings, they
- 46:21Speaker 4: mapped it out in fraud.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, a PhD in haquana ree. I love it.
- 46:27Speaker 1: That makes me feel better about anytime I've been scammed
- 46:29Speaker 1: an architect of fraud. She was ousted as CEO of
- 46:33Speaker 1: the company and the company was forced to completely shut
- 46:36Speaker 1: down operations in twenty eighteen. That same year, of federal
- 46:39Speaker 1: grand jury indicted ms Holmes and former therapmost chief operating
- 46:43Speaker 1: officer and president Ramish known as Sonny Baiwani, on nine
- 46:48Speaker 1: counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to
- 46:51Speaker 1: commit wire fraud. They both pleaded not guilty, so she's
- 46:56Speaker 1: indicted along with Sonny Biwani, who at the time is
- 47:00Speaker 1: her boothang. And one of the most embarrassing things during
- 47:03Speaker 1: this case was when they were reading the text messages
- 47:06Speaker 1: between him and her and there was a text that
- 47:08Speaker 1: literally if I saw them start to read this shit,
- 47:11Speaker 1: I would have got up and been like, Gil, I'm guilty,
- 47:13Speaker 1: I'm guilty. No, stenographer stopped typing like it's over, shut
- 47:16Speaker 1: it down, put the computer down, put the typewriter up,
- 47:18Speaker 1: like I would have just pushed the typewriter off the table,
- 47:20Speaker 1: like no, because she had sent him the text like
- 47:23Speaker 1: you are my moon and my stars and you are
- 47:26Speaker 1: the light and like that, guys me like it was
- 47:28Speaker 1: real dramatical and it was really long. And Sonny responded
- 47:32Speaker 1: with okay.
- 47:35Speaker 3: Oh wow wow.
- 47:40Speaker 2: And then she had a baby with somebody else.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean you have to else. Wow.
- 47:48Speaker 3: I respect her like, uh, you know, willingness to move on.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's like you gotta leave after that, it's
- 47:55Speaker 1: time to leave. But you know, so they were in
- 47:57Speaker 1: it together and they must have both known that this
- 47:59Speaker 1: was a scam, right, so they both beet not guilty.
- 48:03Speaker 1: So where is she now, Lizzie? We just saw her
- 48:05Speaker 1: with her fresh blowout, which we would put on the scam.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Got his Instagram. She's wearing new threads. She's giving us
- 48:11Speaker 1: uh Shania Twain, I feel like a woman. And so
- 48:15Speaker 1: while waiting trial, Elizabeth married and had her first child
- 48:18Speaker 1: with hotelier Billy Evans. So he's an heir to hotels
- 48:23Speaker 1: and and she could keep a rich man like wow,
- 48:26Speaker 1: I guess so look at this man. She said, Look,
- 48:29Speaker 1: I gotta pay these bills. So where is Lizzie hanging out? Lizzie?
- 48:33Speaker 1: Write the book What's the Sierra Prayer? Because I want
- 48:36Speaker 1: what I want to how does she get a quality dude?
- 48:40Speaker 2: Wait what that guy's never gotten.
- 48:42Speaker 4: This guy's the kind of average looking I think this
- 48:43Speaker 4: is the one on the right is just a good
- 48:44Speaker 4: photo of him. And also, if you're good at lying
- 48:47Speaker 4: in business, you're good at lying across the board most times,
- 48:50Speaker 4: so he doesn't.
- 48:51Speaker 2: You can convince awes he they married that Melissa's all
- 48:55Speaker 2: married that guy.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Maybe he thinks she famous. You know what's crazy though?
- 48:59Speaker 1: This is why because Corren, you made a good point
- 49:02Speaker 1: in one photo, which let's make sure we have this
- 49:04Speaker 1: photo for the instagram. He looks like very corny regular
- 49:08Speaker 1: it's giving you know, hackies, right, it's giving I wear Dockers,
- 49:13Speaker 1: you know. And then in the other one he's giving
- 49:15Speaker 1: like Zaddy with his beard, Like is it the beard?
- 49:18Speaker 2: I don't like.
- 49:21Speaker 3: That.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Hot is like almost a uniform, and any any man
- 49:25Speaker 4: goes up ten percent hotness when they're.
- 49:26Speaker 2: In any kind of a uniform.
- 49:28Speaker 4: It could be firefighter, it could be ups man, like
- 49:31Speaker 4: any uniform makes a guy look better.
- 49:33Speaker 2: Ups uniforse got hot.
- 49:35Speaker 1: It is brown with those cats.
- 49:38Speaker 2: With the saw hot ups man.
- 49:40Speaker 3: Just today I was like, hell, yeah, I would do
- 49:42Speaker 3: it all hot too, And.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Their calves are always so good because you never seen him,
- 49:46Speaker 1: because they always run away real fast when they bring
- 49:48Speaker 1: the doorbell. And by the time you open the door
- 49:50Speaker 1: sometimes I run real quick, they're already gone. So those
- 49:55Speaker 1: calves are giving. Yeah, you're right about that. Yeah, because
- 49:57Speaker 1: he goes from looking like all American day and you know,
- 50:01Speaker 1: Dan played baseball in high school. He wasn't like good,
- 50:04Speaker 1: but he played, and then and over to like this
- 50:07Speaker 1: Zaddy who looks like almost like he's like a European
- 50:10Speaker 1: giving us some europe all countries in Europe. You know, Yeah,
- 50:14Speaker 1: that's very deceiving. And then Elizabeth is looking a little
- 50:17Speaker 1: homely back there.
- 50:19Speaker 2: As always yeah.
- 50:20Speaker 1: But yeah, so she married this man. I just want
- 50:22Speaker 1: to know where she hangs out. Where did you meet
- 50:23Speaker 1: these hotel heirs? Honey?
- 50:25Speaker 2: I want to go out of jail.
- 50:27Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, in January, Elizabeth was found guilty
- 50:30Speaker 1: on four charges of defrauding investors. She would found not
- 50:33Speaker 1: guilty on the three additional charges concerning defrauding patients and
- 50:37Speaker 1: one charge of conspiracy to defraud patients. So what's funny
- 50:40Speaker 1: about this is that all the rich people got some justice,
- 50:44Speaker 1: and then all the patients who didn't really have the coins,
- 50:46Speaker 1: who were also defrauded, got nothing.
- 50:50Speaker 2: Oh America, huh ah, yeah.
- 50:52Speaker 1: Right, the poor venture capitalists. What else were they doing
- 50:55Speaker 1: with their bill?
- 50:56Speaker 2: I'm so glad they got reimbursed.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Just wiping their tears will hundred dollar bills like I
- 51:01Speaker 1: can't believe it, damn. So during the trial, several friends
- 51:05Speaker 1: and supporters arrived wearing black turtlenecks and their hair tied back.
- 51:09Speaker 2: Sorters.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Yes, she had a girl gang. The tiny girls showed
- 51:13Speaker 1: up and they wore their black turtlenecks and they pulled
- 51:16Speaker 1: their hair back, and they showed up for their queen.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Oh listen, there's always someone to support everyone. So Charlotte,
- 51:24Speaker 4: this is.
- 51:27Speaker 1: The lizards showed up and they said, no, not today. Okay,
- 51:34Speaker 1: women deserve to be able to defraud the tech industry
- 51:38Speaker 1: like everybody else. Feminism.
- 51:41Speaker 2: Oh that is a good point.
- 51:43Speaker 1: One performance arbist artist even set up a shop outside
- 51:47Speaker 1: the courthouse selling blond wigs and black turtlenecks and blood
- 51:51Speaker 1: blood energy drinks.
- 51:54Speaker 4: Oh my god, I would have bought every single one,
- 51:56Speaker 4: and then I would have been that's great.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Holy shit, what a combo. He said, Hey, girl, I
- 52:03Speaker 1: have synthetic wigs. I got black turtlenecks, and we go
- 52:06Speaker 1: all the way up to two eggs for thirty dollars,
- 52:09Speaker 1: forty dollars and blood energy drinks because that's what you need.
- 52:13Speaker 1: You need out an outfit for fun, right, and you
- 52:17Speaker 1: need some energy so you can be out here all
- 52:18Speaker 1: day standing for Lizzie. Okay, my god. So Elizabeth faces
- 52:24Speaker 1: up to twenty years in prisons, as well as a
- 52:26Speaker 1: fine of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars plus restitution
- 52:28Speaker 1: for each count, COVID complications, and her pregnancy because.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Remember she right, she did that on purpose.
- 52:36Speaker 1: Lizzie was like, I'm gonna get married, cook up a
- 52:40Speaker 1: baby real quick. Let me just state on the justice system.
- 52:44Speaker 2: Yes, that's a lot of energy. Good for her, damn.
- 52:48Speaker 1: And I love that because yeah, like she's a pregnant woman.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Y'all are really gonna put the pregnant woman in jail
- 52:52Speaker 1: for what a little some paper lies, So lies on paper,
- 52:57Speaker 1: come on, guys, and widdleedny bottles, you know, just some tiny, little,
- 53:01Speaker 1: very very tiny fraud, come on, guys. So because of
- 53:05Speaker 1: her pregnancy, the COVID complications, this all delayed the proceedings
- 53:08Speaker 1: but she's slated to be sentenced in September twenty twenty
- 53:11Speaker 1: two and remains free on half a million dollars bond,
- 53:13Speaker 1: which I'm sure her hotel daddy got the coens.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's no problem, Okay.
- 53:19Speaker 1: She said, bond. Okay, Barry, we got it. Like wow, no,
- 53:25Speaker 1: that's nothing, say less and she cooking up a baby. Ooh,
- 53:29Speaker 1: she did it right. I love this. And she came
- 53:31Speaker 1: looking to court with a blowout. No longer was she
- 53:33Speaker 1: wearing her hair slicked back. And then the black Turtle Max.
- 53:36Speaker 1: She came with a blowout, and she went to Anne
- 53:38Speaker 1: Taylor Loft and got a suit. Love this for her.
- 53:43Speaker 1: Hulo's doing a limited series called The Dropout based on
- 53:47Speaker 1: Elizabeth Holmes's life. Amanda Seifred will be playing Elizabeth Holmes.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Is she I wonder if she's getting paid for that.
- 53:54Speaker 1: I wonder too, like did she sell the life or yeah?
- 53:59Speaker 1: Because well, the thing is is that you don't have
- 54:01Speaker 1: to pay people to I guess you can kind of
- 54:03Speaker 1: just speculate on people's lives.
- 54:06Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't know what those are.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either for the life rights versus like
- 54:11Speaker 1: if you do, cause I know like Pamela and Tommy
- 54:13Speaker 1: Lee are not involved in the pam and Tommy show
- 54:15Speaker 1: on whoo right.
- 54:17Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like authorized versus unauthorized. I believe that's
- 54:20Speaker 4: how it works for books at least, Like I only
- 54:23Speaker 4: know about this because like the Spice Girls and stuff,
- 54:25Speaker 4: they made a lot of VHS's and books about them,
- 54:28Speaker 4: and it was if it was authorized, they got paid.
- 54:31Speaker 4: And when it's it would very clearly say unauthorized when
- 54:33Speaker 4: they weren't getting paid. But it wasn't illegal to do
- 54:36Speaker 4: it right to public figures.
- 54:38Speaker 1: But it probably makes it more interesting or at least
- 54:41Speaker 1: more legitimate to the outside public if the person it's
- 54:44Speaker 1: based on it's like, yeah, go up, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 54:49Speaker 1: this is me Lizzie. So that's where Elizabeth is that
- 54:52Speaker 1: you know, she's out here with her baby and her
- 54:54Speaker 1: new rich man live in the good life. Shout out
- 54:56Speaker 1: to Lizzie. And last but not least, we're gonna visit
- 55:00Speaker 1: Simone Timone, Simon Tramone. He saying he changed his name
- 55:05Speaker 1: from Shimone to Simon leviv Uh and you guys know
- 55:10Speaker 1: him as the tender Swindler. Y'all hit me up about
- 55:12Speaker 1: this all the time. I told you again the episodes.
- 55:13Speaker 1: All right, I pulled it behind the paywall with Miles Gray.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Very fun. We talk about some things that are not
- 55:18Speaker 1: in the documentary, so it's fun. The Tender Swindler had
- 55:21Speaker 1: made headlines after a twenty twenty two Netflix documentary of
- 55:24Speaker 1: the same name was released. There was also a big
- 55:26Speaker 1: article released under the same name, The Tender Swindler two
- 55:29Speaker 1: and a half years before that, because that's where we
- 55:31Speaker 1: found out about our homie, Simone Timon. So he's been
- 55:35Speaker 1: out here in the streets for a minute, but the
- 55:37Speaker 1: girls really found out from the the dung So. Shimon
- 55:40Speaker 1: Hayut was known for engaging in deceptive courtship practices via
- 55:44Speaker 1: the popular dating app Tender. In twenty seventeen, Shimone changed
- 55:48Speaker 1: his name to Simon Leviv and began calling himself the
- 55:50Speaker 1: son of the Israeli Russian diamond tycoon Lev Leviv. I
- 55:55Speaker 1: love naming your kid lev Leviv, Like you were like,
- 55:57Speaker 1: let's just keep it going Jewish Mcjewan share we go, Yeah,
- 56:01Speaker 1: great beautiful name. So on Tender, he presented himself as
- 56:05Speaker 1: a wealthy heir living a life of luxury, seeking beautiful,
- 56:08Speaker 1: wealthy women to join his lafstand. So I just don't
- 56:14Speaker 1: know if billionaires are on tender. I they don't.
- 56:17Speaker 2: Actually are they?
- 56:19Speaker 3: No, but maybe millionaires I don't know in New York
- 56:21Speaker 3: City on Hinge.
- 56:22Speaker 4: I mean I'm sure maybe like someone who wanted to pretend,
- 56:26Speaker 4: like like, oh, let me see what it's like to
- 56:28Speaker 4: be a peasant for a day on.
- 56:29Speaker 3: Riyah, like the best you're going to get as a DJ.
- 56:31Speaker 3: So it's like, yeah, I can't imagine they're on tender.
- 56:34Speaker 1: Christina, thank you for saying it, because I have a
- 56:35Speaker 1: Riah and I said, where where are the girls that
- 56:38Speaker 1: I was promised? Because all I'm saying is Equinox trainers
- 56:41Speaker 1: and consultants.
- 56:43Speaker 2: Uh huh, I'm watch him for celebrities, right.
- 56:46Speaker 4: I never seen celebrities on Riya, but like they never
- 56:50Speaker 4: you never match with them.
- 56:51Speaker 2: I never.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I know.
- 56:53Speaker 3: The only one I saw who I saw Trevor Noah
- 56:55Speaker 3: and I was like yeah, yeah, but I'm like that
- 56:58Speaker 3: could have been a fake profile because all the followers
- 57:00Speaker 3: were professional and I'm like, fucking Riah if he tricked me,
- 57:03Speaker 3: but you know, he never.
- 57:04Speaker 2: He never wrote back.
- 57:05Speaker 1: Damn, that's wait. But it was a match because you
- 57:07Speaker 1: got there's not a matter right.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Uh, oh, no, I didn't. I didn't match for them.
- 57:10Speaker 2: I did not match with them. No, I would have
- 57:12Speaker 2: like never forgotten that if I did. Holy shit. Yeah.
- 57:15Speaker 1: But yeah, So you know, I've just never seen like
- 57:17Speaker 1: a billion of millionaires maybe like celebrities for sure, but
- 57:20Speaker 1: like I know what, really, I actually know this that
- 57:24Speaker 1: there are people in the industry. I know certain people
- 57:27Speaker 1: in the industry who their whole kind of flecks and
- 57:29Speaker 1: little hustle is is like they know all the bad
- 57:31Speaker 1: bitches in whatever area. Like there's a woman who knows
- 57:33Speaker 1: all the bad bitches in Houston, there's a woman who
- 57:35Speaker 1: knows all the babbages in New York. And like celebrities
- 57:37Speaker 1: will have contact with these people and they'll be like, oh,
- 57:39Speaker 1: we having a party, like bring the bad bitches, and
- 57:41Speaker 1: then they show up with the baddies, you know what
- 57:43Speaker 1: I mean. So they know how to find they don't
- 57:46Speaker 1: have to go to the bar, you know what I mean.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Like Drake loves to go to a Hooters on Peach Street,
- 57:49Speaker 1: but you know most of the girls, they know how
- 57:53Speaker 1: to find the girlies without apps. So that was already
- 57:56Speaker 1: like flag number one. After several months of dating, he
- 58:00Speaker 1: would then suddenly disappear, claim he's in grave danger and hiding,
- 58:05Speaker 1: and then ask for thousands of dollars to save his life.
- 58:09Speaker 1: On top of it, like with evidence, he would send
- 58:12Speaker 1: photos of his bodyguard Peter bloodied in the back of
- 58:15Speaker 1: an ambulance, claiming an attempt had been made on his life.
- 58:18Speaker 1: So this is Peter mm hmm, his bodyguard.
- 58:21Speaker 2: I love his acting.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Right.
- 58:23Speaker 2: He was like, oh, this hurts so good.
- 58:26Speaker 4: He's like midwinds flight across his forehead.
- 58:31Speaker 1: And a little bit on the pillow, so you know
- 58:33Speaker 1: he was bleeding for a minute.
- 58:35Speaker 2: The pillows.
- 58:35Speaker 3: Right. I wonder if they how much they pay this
- 58:37Speaker 3: ambulance guide to take a quick pick, right?
- 58:40Speaker 1: Or was this like the one time that he got
- 58:42Speaker 1: injured and they just keep reusing this photo on all
- 58:44Speaker 1: the girls that he's hitting on. They're like, look, we're
- 58:46Speaker 1: in danger. Look at my bodyguard. He's saying ow while
- 58:49Speaker 1: I took the photo, Like why are you taking this photo?
- 58:51Speaker 1: While this man is lud It's like, hold still, Peter,
- 58:55Speaker 1: you blurry, Hold on, I'm gonna.
- 58:59Speaker 2: Light you got a hold.
- 59:00Speaker 1: We gotta see the blood. Can you hold Joe camer
- 59:03Speaker 1: light up while I take a bit your repeater, okay
- 59:05Speaker 1: one on three say pain one two three pain. So
- 59:12Speaker 1: then he sends this to the girls. This scheme eventually
- 59:14Speaker 1: became the sort of Ponzi scheme, leading Simon to become
- 59:17Speaker 1: wanted by innerpol in seven different countries because he would
- 59:21Speaker 1: hit them up and be like, I need y'all to
- 59:23Speaker 1: give me the money so I can pay these girls off.
- 59:25Speaker 1: The girls naturally would send their cards and would begin
- 59:28Speaker 1: he would begin like racking up massive bills while pressuring
- 59:31Speaker 1: them to send more money. So he was like, please,
- 59:33Speaker 1: like hit the AMX, take out a payday loan, like
- 59:36Speaker 1: they're after me, and it's like I thought you had money.
- 59:38Speaker 1: I thought you were like a part of the diamond,
- 59:40Speaker 1: like the diamond king, Like you know family, Like why
- 59:43Speaker 1: do you mean my coins? Can't you just get Daddy
- 59:45Speaker 1: to give you a rock and you could go upon it?
- 59:47Speaker 1: Like what's going on?
- 59:48Speaker 2: Yeah? His enemies, his enemy.
- 59:52Speaker 1: Shut his cards off? What who are times that he is?
- 59:55Speaker 2: He has stated his that talked about his enemies.
- 59:58Speaker 3: It's like all right, that one I would eventually not
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: have fallen for that event. After like the twentieth time
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: he said my enemies, I'm like, ah, right, this is
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: something special.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: And what's the vague idea of enemies just just general enemies,
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Like who are these people? It's be like my haters,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: my haters cut off my cars? Who are these people?
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Why are they mad at you? Right right? Give me
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: a name, Terrence my enemy, Like like it's just a
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: little too vague. The three women featured in the documentary Cecil, Panela,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that first name is Panilla and
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: Aileen collectively gave Simon over five hundred thousand dollars money
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: that was never seen again. Five half a million dollars
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: to a man. Yeah, he to a man.
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: But I appreciate, like what, you know, his long game.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: It wasn't that long.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: But like, if I'm going to be in a private
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: first of all, I mean I would luckily, when I
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: was watching this, I'm like, all right, I would have
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: known billionaires have matchmakers, so already you're bull of shit.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: So that's that.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: Luckily, I wouldn't have fallen for that in my thirties
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: and my twenties. But if I'm already on the private jet,
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: I mean that's a big And then he like he
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: whined and dining for like a month.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how he would get them, because the Ponzi
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: scheme of it all was he was taking the money
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: that he had just gotten from the last chick that
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: he ghosted, and he would use that money to flex
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: on the next chick that he plans to rob. So
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: you know, the second day he's like, hop on the jet, baby,
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: go into grease. And you know you're like, this man
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: much be rich. I'm on a jet. You know I'm
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: going to my PJ is on a PJ.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Yeah, he's such a slug.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: The picture of him in Israel when he was living
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: with his mom, who hates him now, is so funny.
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: Like he was like chunky and just like a shitty
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: beard and like not stylish glasses like I like the
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: eyeglasses of like the like the mathematician war in high school.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Like it's just he's not sexy enough for this, Like
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: this man is not fine enough to get a single
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: coin out of me. Like we could park and he'd
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: be like I need a quarter for the meter and
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: I'd be like I ain't got it and I started walking.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: My person's like he ain't got no change. You're not
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: getting it from me, sir. Not a dime so where
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: he is now. After the release of The Tenderswim their documentary,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Simon was permanently removed from the dating app So Tender said,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: my name is Bennet, We're not in it, and neither
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: is Simon. He refused to be interviewed by any outlets.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: He disappeared for a certain time. However, he's recently given
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: an exclusive exclusive interview to Inside. Addition, during the interview,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: he maintained he was just a single guy that wanted
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: to meet some girls on Tender and get a lot
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: of money from them. His quote ends at tender, but
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: we know the rest. He's denied all allegations, including that
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: he ever presented himself as a son of a diamond mogul.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: Simon claims he's funded his lifestyle through investing in bitcoin
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: in twenty eleven when its value was less than ten cents.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: He's currently dating Israeli model Kate Canolan.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: Wow, Kate, why she's so hot too? I saw a picture.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: I'm like, this motherfucker's not in jail.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: And then not only that, he has like Ferrari's in
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: a model girlfriend.
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, come on girl.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: Kate claim says she's never given Simon any coins and
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: accused of three featured victims as faking a giant story.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: I don't know if I would fake this story because
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: it's kind of embarrassing for them.
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: Like, yeah, yeah, you gotta admit your night's about being
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: a straight guy. You can always find a woman who
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: will side believe you, Like every time, there's always there's
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: always someone who will side where.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: Side right.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: And then also like this woman gets to speak for
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: all women, like she's just one random woman. These three
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: women have very similar stories and they gave him a
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: lot of money. Though he's deleted his Instagram. Simon has
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: also signed with a talent manager, Gina Rodriguez of ga Toni, Inc.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: In hopes of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. Well,
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: we know the man is good at lyes. You know
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: what career?
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: What does he want to do? Oh my god? What
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: the fuck? Oh my god.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Additionally, he's joined can be hosting a game show next year.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Yeah please cameo.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Yep. For three hundred dollars, you can have a personalized
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: video message. And for fourteen hundred dollars you can have
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: business ones from shamone si Mo.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: That's a great cameo. That's a great birthday idea.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Shit right, you said it to us, Like, hey baby,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: it's me Simon, I love you. If you send me
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: three thousand dollars, we can.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: Be like, yeah, that's exactly what I would ask him,
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: request that he say, like I would request like him,
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: tell tell me about your enemies.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh yes, the enemies. We do. We
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: do want to know about the enemies. Simon's ex bodyguard,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Peter or Petour, has filed a cease and desist against
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Netflix for the depiction of him as a knowing accomplice.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: To Simon, it's like maybe he didn't. Maybe he wasn't
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: knowing he had to be annoying accomplish now.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: New, So for you, I have some idea something.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: So for what he characterizes as an irreparable harm to
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: his reputation and career, he's asking for five million euros
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: about five point six million dollars. If you're a bodyguard,
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: you what you're talking about. Nobody is checking a bodyguard's resume.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: If you show up large, they will let you to
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: guard the das to any king.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Yeah, just scare one person and you're in.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: Yeah, if you show up big, they'll be like, you
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: have the job. I don't think that they're checking references,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Like they're not calling the last club you're at, like, hey,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: forty forty was he was Peter our Bodyguarden good was.
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: They don't care. Though Simon has never been charged outside
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: of Israel, Cecily, Pranilla, and Eileen are still paying off
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: their debts and have started to GoFundMe. So now the
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: girls are like, can y'all fund us so that we
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: can run amex back their coins. Oh, they've made it
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: up to one hundred and sixty four thousand euros as
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: of today.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: That's wow. That's impressed of I have a picture of
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: a hot girl? Will do? Netflix should pay them, But
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: you know.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: Right, I guess they had to appear for free for
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: it to be like the docu style, because I think
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: if you pay people in that style, then it's like
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: not seen as legitimate.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense. Yeah, that makes a lot of.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Sense, because then you could be like coercing them to
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: say certain things or whatever. So I think that's kind
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: of one of the stippy relations. And then when asked
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: if he felt bad for what he did, Simon said,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: I feel bad for something, he said, I feel bad
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: for something that I didn't do. No, I feel bad
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: for whatever happened to myself.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Rip Shimon.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: So now what happened to you?
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: Oh man, you stole a lot of money.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: I don't think anything happened to you, sir. You know what, Simon,
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: he probably gonna be on our movie theater screens very soon.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: The way America set up, this man is gonna have
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: the best career out there. It's time for the end
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: of the shows Camera of the week. This is where
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: we highlight a Charlottean who's worthy of our praise. Or
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: maybe not, we will see. Today we're talking about Chinese
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: students zo Ya Chi, who spent twenty one days eating
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: free food, staying at luxury hotels and using VIP lounges
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: and facilities, and wearing expensive clothes and jewelry without spending
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: a dime as part of an art project for her school.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: Oh that's great, I love this chick.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: That's a good art project, she said. So all she
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: had to do was pretend to be wealthy Beijing social life.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: That's all she had to do. So she pull it off.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Zou wore expensive looking clothes and a fake iermez bag.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: She published it in a post saying it's interesting how
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: these materials are distributed. They are usually assigned to people
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: who look like they already have a sufficient amount of
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: wealth and life. So during one of her outings, she
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: walked into a Louis Vuitton store where she was immediately
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: shown a fourteen hundred dollars handbag and offered an invitation
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: to an exclusive exhibit. The rest of her time, she
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: stayed in VIP lounges, eating from their buffets and sleeping
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: on their new couches. So she would sleep in the
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: hotel lobby, but because she had a burken they were like,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: oh yeah, no, let her nap.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Why that's all it takes, huh shit?
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: And she was twenty three years old. She filmed the experience,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: which premiered at the Central Acconomy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: So obviously this is a class thing and we all
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: know about this. If you come in showing up like
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: a vagrant off the streets, no they're not gonna let
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: you sleep on their couch. But if you in Gucci
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: and gold and a ermaz and like she's tired from
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: carrying her hermas all day, just somebody get her a blanket.
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: Right, So what was she something?
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: Did she scam these hotels out of staying there, scam
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: people out of paying her?
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: Did she was she a legitimate an art project?
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: She was scamming, so it was an art project for her.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: But obviously she also did run a little grip. She
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: would just show up looking fine, and she's a cute
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: girl and looking rich, and so she'd go to the
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: bar and people would pay for her drinks. So she
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: would go to events and they'd be like, come on here, girl,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: free food, feed drinks. So she'd go to the hotel
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and they'd be like, yeah, this is our fainting couch,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: go off sis like, and they just let her do whatever.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: I think this is an excellent scam.
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: Yeah, good b Yeah, and under the guise.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: Of education, which it is. I mean, it's just it's already.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: But it's like, is this something that we didn't know already?
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: Girl?
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Right? Right?
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: Right? That's more of a tip, like a hot tip, right.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: That classism exists, and that it's just like rich people
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: get free stuff, you know, but they don't give the
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: free stuff to the poorest. They're like, you pay right now,
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: oh right, this way miss Knowles, we have a for you.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Just take a picture next to the boat.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, tag us.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: So it's all yours, tag us, and you can have
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: this home, like you know what I mean, Like we
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: all know about this, but I think this is cute.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: It's just but I also think it's a bit of
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: a scam because it's like, baby girl, we already knew this,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: but I love this for you. So here she is
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: sleeping at the hotel. She's charging her phone. Oh, she
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: got her burking with her. At the gym.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: Oh wow, she's working out with shoes on.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: She's in the sauna right now, still with her birken. Damn,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: she was sleeping everywhere. She was sleeping in the gym. Okay,
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: she's putting the food in her pryers to the couch.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: She's trying on These are real diamonds. They're like, yeah,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: you can put this on. Oh damn, free samples everywhere
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: she's going. I mean, yes, I'm not mad at it.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: I don't know if it was some information that we
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: didn't already have, but good for her for putting a
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: light on classism whilst getting free things. Guys. That brings
