1:19
Speaker 1: Does I say your last name? Oh, lazy, thank you
1:21
Speaker 1: so much. I think so.
1:23
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's a weird delay. It could have
1:25
Speaker 3: been wrong, but you probably got it.
1:26
Speaker 1: It's newsome. I just feel like I never say your
1:28
Speaker 1: last name, like I know you. We have this always tawny, like,
1:31
Speaker 1: I never really say your last name.
1:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't really need that. I don't really know
1:36
Speaker 3: many other Tawnys, so we don't need it.
1:38
Speaker 1: It's a good name. It's a really it's like La,
1:41
Speaker 1: like Lacey. We're pretty rare. I rarely meet a Lacey.
1:43
Speaker 1: There's like Lacey Duval, she be fucking and then Lacy
1:47
Speaker 1: Peterson that was sad. People just call it lay Peters.
1:52
Speaker 1: I know a Lacey.
1:53
Speaker 3: I know a white Lacey who used to teach spin
1:56
Speaker 3: classes in my old neighborhood. But then she got fired
1:59
Speaker 3: for yelling at a white man. And that's all I'm
2:02
Speaker 3: gonna say about that.
2:03
Speaker 1: She was.
2:03
Speaker 3: I think I like that Lacey. I think I liked
2:05
Speaker 3: that Lacey. She sounds like we would think I was
2:08
Speaker 3: on her side.
2:09
Speaker 1: She did.
2:10
Speaker 3: She did yell at him real hard, but also like
2:13
Speaker 3: he was wild. So I'm with that Lacy all the
2:16
Speaker 3: Lacey's I know. Personally, I'm with yes.
2:21
Speaker 1: I've only gotten to really yell at somebody real hard,
2:24
Speaker 1: like twice in my life, and boy, can I tell
2:26
Speaker 1: you it's liberating. Have you remember just cuss somebody out?
2:30
Speaker 1: I really they because they deserved it. They deserved it.
2:34
Speaker 1: I did it once, and unfortunately the circumstances weren't great
2:38
Speaker 1: because I was outside of a theater we won't say which,
2:42
Speaker 1: and there was a valet line and I started cursings
2:45
Speaker 1: helf is out so bad the valet line started clapping.
2:49
Speaker 1: At the end. I was like, oh, I need to
2:51
Speaker 1: go home. Hell yeah. So first I want to ask
2:53
Speaker 1: you just a little question, like do you have any
2:55
Speaker 1: relationship with scams? Have you ever been scammed?
2:58
Speaker 3: You know, I was raised by a very tough mom
3:01
Speaker 3: who always taught me to be on the lookout for
3:04
Speaker 3: shenanigans and taught me to keep my wits about me.
3:07
Speaker 3: I will say this, I have never been pickpocketed. I
3:11
Speaker 3: have never been mugged. I have not, and a lot
3:14
Speaker 3: of that is luck. A lot of that is my
3:16
Speaker 3: height and my stature. I'm not a small woman, so
3:19
Speaker 3: I am less likely to be grabbed or to be
3:21
Speaker 3: uh for people to try and pull some ship with me.
3:24
Speaker 3: But also like my head is on a swivel, honey,
3:27
Speaker 3: to the point where I look crazy when I travel.
3:29
Speaker 3: I look I'm just I'm the I'm the paranoid friend
3:31
Speaker 3: you want with you on a crowded train in a
3:34
Speaker 3: country you've never been to before.
3:36
Speaker 1: Like if you were spotted, if you were taken.
3:39
Speaker 3: Oh damn, you would have been.
3:47
Speaker 1: Ahead of time.
3:48
Speaker 3: I am a little like I'm a little bit of
3:54
Speaker 3: a vigilante in that way, just because, like I can see,
3:58
Speaker 3: my mom just taught me to recognize behaviors of just
4:01
Speaker 3: people who meant you harm, even if it's you know,
4:04
Speaker 3: mild harm, even it's just like pit pocketing or whatever.
4:06
Speaker 3: So I will say that I have been lucky and
4:08
Speaker 3: I've been strategic, and that's never happened to me. I
4:11
Speaker 3: will recall one time I went with my mom to Barcelona,
4:15
Speaker 3: and you know, a lot of European cities have a
4:17
Speaker 3: lot of just like petty pickpocketing. That's not even any shade.
4:20
Speaker 3: America has way bigger problems. But just in Europe, the
4:24
Speaker 3: pickpocketing game is is shoe.
4:27
Speaker 1: It's a little cue there. It's like the loo keys.
4:31
Speaker 4: Twist hello, you know, I feel a look cute.
4:35
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, what not? Why not?
4:39
Speaker 3: And I will never forget coming down some steps in
4:42
Speaker 3: a subway and I turn around to look for my
4:44
Speaker 3: mom and my mom has a twelve year old child
4:47
Speaker 3: by the wrist, and she's just looking her in the
4:49
Speaker 3: eyes and going why did you put your hand in
4:51
Speaker 3: my purse? And kids like and it just breaks for
4:54
Speaker 3: you and runs away. I was like, Okay, we're gonna
4:58
Speaker 3: We're gonna be all right, because I was a little nervous,
5:00
Speaker 3: like traveling. I was traveling with my mom, my husband's mom.
5:03
Speaker 3: It was like we had all these moms with us,
5:05
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, I'm dragging them through through Europe.
5:07
Speaker 3: They're gonna get their ass pickpocketed or something, but no
5:10
Speaker 3: one did. So yeah, I'm always she was like. Mom
5:15
Speaker 3: was very because she was also like it's a child
5:18
Speaker 3: right like she was. I think she was just like, hey,
5:21
Speaker 3: we don't do that. I will also say my dad
5:24
Speaker 3: is a very paranoid person, and he has always raised
5:27
Speaker 3: me to be paranoid.
5:30
Speaker 1: That's black people think bad.
5:32
Speaker 3: It's a real black people thing. He loves to send
5:34
Speaker 3: me an article about the KKK, like, you know, often so,
5:39
Speaker 3: and most of the time he's right.
5:41
Speaker 1: But what what it's just done for me is it's
5:44
Speaker 1: kept me.
5:45
Speaker 3: It's kept me aware of scams even when they're a
5:48
Speaker 3: little even when maybe they're not that you know, threatening.
5:52
Speaker 3: I think, I'm yeah, I had all this woid stuff
5:56
Speaker 3: pretty well.
5:56
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. So you're definitely not a mark. So
6:00
Speaker 1: you're probably closer to maybe one day being a scammer
6:03
Speaker 1: because that's you know, that's how the scale goes. It goes.
6:05
Speaker 1: We have hardcore marks and empathizers on one side, and
6:09
Speaker 1: then we have people who are real, real alert towards
6:12
Speaker 1: the middle, and then the far right is like really
6:14
Speaker 1: bad scammers, and then the middle of the right is
6:17
Speaker 1: like people who just like a little you know, just
6:18
Speaker 1: like a little light fraud, you know, just like a
6:20
Speaker 1: little taste of shit canary mm hmm, you know, every
6:23
Speaker 1: now and then we skip a love.
6:24
Speaker 3: With love a little bit. I'd love to do some
6:26
Speaker 3: light fraud. I wonder if it's just never occurred to me,
6:30
Speaker 3: But I think I would be good at it. Is
6:31
Speaker 3: that a bad thing to say?
6:33
Speaker 1: No, I think that's an excellent thing to say. And
6:34
Speaker 1: I also think you would be excellent at it as
6:37
Speaker 1: you are at most things. All things really that I
6:39
Speaker 1: know that you do tany are excellent, So I fully
6:42
Speaker 1: believe that you would also succeeded this. You know, what's
6:45
Speaker 1: funny about scamming is like a lot of times it's
6:47
Speaker 1: just shit that nobody thinks of to do. Like I
6:49
Speaker 1: took a psychology class which really in college, which really
6:52
Speaker 1: really started me like being interested in scams because they
6:55
Speaker 1: were teaching me stuff in the psych class about you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: bystander effect and ways that you know, social communities interact
7:03
Speaker 1: with one another as a whole. And then I was
7:05
Speaker 1: reading it and started to realize that I was like, oh,
7:08
Speaker 1: I can just start cheating people. That's not what they
7:10
Speaker 1: were trying to teach me. But I was like, hmm,
7:13
Speaker 1: that's what I took from a shout out to the
7:15
Speaker 1: University of Pittsburgh College. Like, for example, if you're in
7:18
Speaker 1: a line and you give anybody an excuse in front
7:21
Speaker 1: of you for why you need to cut them, unless
7:23
Speaker 1: like it's like a concert or something that people are
7:25
Speaker 1: real thirsty for, like a sneaker release or whatever, they'll
7:28
Speaker 1: normally let you in front of them. So if you're
7:31
Speaker 1: just in line at the grocery store and you're like, hey,
7:32
Speaker 1: my car is running, people will let you in front
7:35
Speaker 1: of them, Like what does that even mean? Your car
7:37
Speaker 1: is running?
7:37
Speaker 3: See, because people don't want conversations, turn it off, and
7:42
Speaker 3: like anytime I've come you know what, Lacey, I get
7:45
Speaker 3: this so hard because I am terrified of consequences. So
7:50
Speaker 3: I guess I'm not a scammer because I don't want
7:51
Speaker 3: to get caught doing shit like this. But you know
7:53
Speaker 3: what makes me a superhead on a swivel person is
7:56
Speaker 3: if you come up to me and go, hey, my
7:57
Speaker 3: car's running. Can I get in front of you? I
7:59
Speaker 3: will let you, but I will always be like, this
8:01
Speaker 3: is a scam. I will always be like, Okay, I'm
8:04
Speaker 3: gonna let you have your scam. But even people who
8:05
Speaker 3: are like trying to do legitimate things, I'm usually like,
8:08
Speaker 3: this is a scam.
8:09
Speaker 1: They're running right, And a lot of times they are
8:11
Speaker 1: because my SB out here scam men. I remember one
8:13
Speaker 1: time I was going to like a Berry Jenkins film
8:16
Speaker 1: festival some shit that where he was speaking and they
8:19
Speaker 1: were like playing one of his movies and it's pretty exclusive.
8:22
Speaker 1: I got their way too late. The line was wrapped
8:23
Speaker 1: around the block, and I was like, I don't be
8:25
Speaker 1: doing lines like that. So I walked right up to
8:28
Speaker 1: almost the front, like maybe six people behind, and then
8:31
Speaker 1: I just started standing on the corner. And then I
8:33
Speaker 1: just started leaning in the closer and just leaning in
8:36
Speaker 1: closer all the time on my phone or like pretending
8:39
Speaker 1: to talk on the phone, like I was distracted. And
8:41
Speaker 1: then I was good. But it was a black event, right,
8:44
Speaker 1: it's Barry Jenkins and Ryan Coogler. These six white people
8:47
Speaker 1: come up and they get in line right in front
8:49
Speaker 1: of me with somebody who had been holding their place.
8:52
Speaker 1: Now there is this little Latina woman after a Latina woman,
8:55
Speaker 1: and she was not having itza. She said, we want
8:58
Speaker 1: habits and she was like, I know, y'all, don't all
9:01
Speaker 1: just get in front. And I was like, damn, they
9:03
Speaker 1: really did get in front of y'all, Hume, you know, actually,
9:07
Speaker 1: how about you go up there? I was like, you
9:09
Speaker 1: skip all of them and then I'm gonna get behind you. No,
9:13
Speaker 1: And damn, well I cut her too.
9:15
Speaker 3: So you used you used someone else's failed scam to
9:18
Speaker 3: advance your own. Now that that is some inception level scamming.
9:21
Speaker 3: And I applied to I was like.
9:22
Speaker 1: Damn, since I know how you feel. I can't believe
9:25
Speaker 1: they did that to you. You've been here since three o'clock.
9:27
Speaker 1: It's eight pm.
9:31
Speaker 3: See, this is a boldness that I don't possess.
9:33
Speaker 1: It's mostly panic because I'm like, I can't lose. Something
9:37
Speaker 1: comes over me and it's like I cannot lose, and
9:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, I got to keep going, scaled God, But yes, SONI,
9:48
Speaker 1: So let's get into our first segment. What's hot in front?
9:51
Speaker 1: So I got a listener letter for you, Tony. And
9:54
Speaker 1: this listener letter really intrigued me because when I first
9:58
Speaker 1: opened it, it says I I didn't want to send
10:00
Speaker 1: this until I checked the statute of limitations and I said, yes, yes, okay, whatever,
10:07
Speaker 1: this is spicy, flavorful, delicious. I will imvibe and we
10:13
Speaker 1: will call this person. You know, I'm gonna call this

Speaker 1: be tweeting me about these. Okay, But like we were saying,
12:34
Speaker 1: Teddy Riley, So Teddy Riley told us, I need to
12:37
Speaker 1: make sure I didn't send this in before the FIZT
12:40
Speaker 1: could watch. And we appreciate that Teddy, We're not trying
12:42
Speaker 1: to get you arrested. Teddy said, please don't use my
12:45
Speaker 1: name anyway. If you must call me, call me Slick
12:49
Speaker 1: from Seattle. Oh here, Teddy had already come up with
12:51
Speaker 1: a name. Okay, well Teddy, I like Teddy better, but
12:53
Speaker 1: Slick from Seattle's cute anyway. Anyone that deserves to know well, no, AnyWho.
12:59
Speaker 1: This was all about eighteen to twenty years ago. The
13:02
Speaker 1: first New twenties with the big faces were the norm,
13:05
Speaker 1: and old twenties were still very common. This was also
13:10
Speaker 1: right when laser jet printers got good. My cousin and
13:14
Speaker 1: I tried printed off some twenty dollar bills and they
13:17
Speaker 1: looked very convincing, but they didn't feel like real money,
13:21
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Oh, you know, I know
13:23
Speaker 1: what you mean. I used to work at bars where
13:25
Speaker 1: I had to rub the money because there's parts on
13:28
Speaker 1: the money that's like on me too, right, that has
13:32
Speaker 1: that like kind of surface on it. Yeah, that's textured.
13:35
Speaker 1: And then we would market with a pen. We'd hold
13:38
Speaker 1: it up to the light because fooh, the fake twenties
13:40
Speaker 1: in New York were flying. So I know what you're
13:43
Speaker 1: saying about, he says, We tried to pass off fake
13:47
Speaker 1: bills at some convenience stores, and it worked a couple times,
13:49
Speaker 1: but a couple times we had to run away from
13:52
Speaker 1: a suspicious clerk. After this, we just used fake bills
13:55
Speaker 1: to burn corny high school drug dealers. We were still
13:59
Speaker 1: young at the time. Aren't beating up little keys? Okay,
14:01
Speaker 1: I guess listen, high school drug dealers need that's his
14:06
Speaker 1: I guess they need their money the least. I'm just
14:08
Speaker 1: confused about.
14:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I'm just confused about his range of
14:12
Speaker 3: bad things to do. Give fake money to corny drug
14:15
Speaker 3: dealers to beating up little kids. I don't really understand, right.
14:19
Speaker 1: You thought we were gonna a to c You thought
14:20
Speaker 1: we were gonna go from oh, he's giving fake money
14:22
Speaker 1: to high school children to he's beating them up. I
14:25
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go there were you beating them up? I
14:28
Speaker 1: think you might have been beating them up, Teddy Riley,
14:32
Speaker 1: he might have been beating them up. So one day
14:36
Speaker 1: I saw a TV ad that gave me an idea.
14:41
Speaker 1: And here I have a photo and it's Barbie Mattel's
14:45
Speaker 1: Barbie Guys, and it's called the Fashion Designer Refill Kit.
14:50
Speaker 1: It says, make more real clothes for your Barbie doll.
14:55
Speaker 1: So Barbie is making these like print out like digital
14:59
Speaker 1: print kind of thing so that kids, can, you know,
15:03
Speaker 1: give Barbie a new fit? Honey? Did you ever have
15:05
Speaker 1: a Barbie doll? Yeah?
15:06
Speaker 3: I had. I had a bunch of Barbie dolls.
15:08
Speaker 1: Did you ever tear their hairs off? Tear their what?
15:11
Speaker 1: Tear their hair? Ah? Is that weird? Who doesn't? Why?
15:15
Speaker 1: Why would I do? I never get your Barbies shape?
15:17
Speaker 3: But I mean no, I guess I was just like
15:20
Speaker 3: so fucking brainwashed and covetous of the long straight hair
15:24
Speaker 3: they all had.
15:25
Speaker 1: I was like, oh beauty, Oh damn. I guess something's
15:28
Speaker 1: wrong with me because I was giving my barbiees fades
15:30
Speaker 1: and shit, I.
15:33
Speaker 3: Bet they looked great. No, my Barbies were corny. They
15:36
Speaker 3: stayed in the outfits they came in. They didn't have
15:37
Speaker 3: other outfits. I had to build them a dreamhouse. I
15:40
Speaker 3: wasn't allowed to have a house for it because I
15:42
Speaker 3: guess my parents thought, you can have thirty seven Barbies.
15:44
Speaker 3: But if you have if they have any if the
15:46
Speaker 3: Barbies own any property, then you're too bougie. So I
15:49
Speaker 3: had to build them. I had to take scarves and
15:51
Speaker 3: clothes and build them little tents, so my barbies look
15:54
Speaker 3: like they live in a little refugee camp most of
15:56
Speaker 3: the time.
15:57
Speaker 1: Oh no, your barbies was hippies are here, yerts. We
16:03
Speaker 1: love to see it.
16:04
Speaker 3: Barbies were a little bit burning man.
16:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right right. Your Barby's out here trading shit
16:10
Speaker 1: for like ken Well, I can trade you this this
16:14
Speaker 1: dirt for the sports car. That's a lot. I love it.
16:19
Speaker 1: So this products available for kids to design and print
16:22
Speaker 1: out barbie outfits. The ad said something about it being
16:25
Speaker 1: real fabric, and I figured something. We got a pack
16:29
Speaker 1: and printed a bunch of twenties on them, and they
16:31
Speaker 1: looked right, and they didn't quite feel like real money,
16:35
Speaker 1: but they didn't feel like paper you would use, you know,
16:39
Speaker 1: like from a printer. The old twenties didn't have the
16:42
Speaker 1: color change thing, so we didn't need to worry about that. Plus,
16:45
Speaker 1: at this point people were used to new twenties, so
16:48
Speaker 1: an old one feeling a little different didn't freak people out.
16:51
Speaker 1: We made it look worn. Seriously, all that shit that
16:54
Speaker 1: they did in the wire to stain money is hello real,
16:57
Speaker 1: he says in parentheses, And then my cousin, who looked
17:02
Speaker 1: like an older than she was, would buy cartons of
17:05
Speaker 1: cigarettes from the gas station and we'd sell them out
17:07
Speaker 1: of our trunk, or trade cigarettes for weed and sell that.
17:11
Speaker 1: This was very reliable hustle for about a year until
17:13
Speaker 1: people got so used to new twenties that the old
17:15
Speaker 1: ones started tripping them up. By then we were old
17:18
Speaker 1: enough to move on to arm robbery, so fucking, oh
17:20
Speaker 1: my god, whoa, my.
17:22
Speaker 3: God, this took a turn, Teddy. Armed robbery is steady.
17:34
Speaker 1: Oh.
17:34
Speaker 3: I like discovering this in real time with you slip
17:38
Speaker 3: that in?
17:39
Speaker 1: How you go slip that in in the like?
17:42
Speaker 3: I love that he has emailed an entertainment podcast and
17:46
Speaker 3: been like, hey, please don't use my name because, like,
17:47
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure about some of the statute of limitations.
17:50
Speaker 3: And we think he's just going to talk about some
17:51
Speaker 3: little counterfeit Barbie money bullshit, and then he's like and
17:54
Speaker 3: then we had guns and we're robbing people, Teddy what
17:58
Speaker 3: And like, but.
17:59
Speaker 1: I will say this about Teddy that I fuck with.
18:01
Speaker 1: He trusted me enough to send me this from a
18:03
Speaker 1: real email account, Like I would never snitch on nobody,
18:09
Speaker 1: and honestly, I might just delete this email after we
18:12
Speaker 1: record this show, so I have no record of where
18:13
Speaker 1: it came from. So just in case any fans is listening,
18:16
Speaker 1: they can't call you, girl, I am gonna delete the email.
18:18
Speaker 1: Y'all can't call me look at for Teddy because I
18:20
Speaker 1: don't know where yet. Okay, No, and now we never know.
18:24
Speaker 3: We don't know him.
18:25
Speaker 1: For all we know, Teddy cook be lying. You know,
18:27
Speaker 1: Teddy could be lying. This could be all the lie.
18:29
Speaker 1: So that's true.
18:31
Speaker 3: Maybe he's one of those little like halfway criminals who's like, dang,
18:35
Speaker 3: this Barbie money story makes me look kind of soft.
18:37
Speaker 3: I better throw in some armed robbery at the end it.
18:40
Speaker 1: I'm about to be a character witness at Teddy. Try.
18:45
Speaker 1: Teddy was a good man. He was a kind man.
18:48
Speaker 1: He ain't never did nothing to nobody. Teddy, you slipped
18:52
Speaker 1: this arm robbery in here. You're crazy all right. Time
18:56
Speaker 1: for historic hoodwinks, my favorite techment of the show, where
18:59
Speaker 1: I will regale Tawny with the historic hoodwings and she
19:03
Speaker 1: will interrupt as she pleases, freely with opinions and questions
19:10
Speaker 1: and whatever she likes. She is a queen, so TONI
19:14
Speaker 1: I love this. Today we're talking about Don le Prey,
19:18
Speaker 1: so Don la Pree was a multi level marketing and
19:21
Speaker 1: infomercial gourgu honey. He sold packages that would teach people
19:28
Speaker 1: to make money or any other number of things that
19:31
Speaker 1: simply did not work. His infomercials were so familiar they
19:35
Speaker 1: were parodied by David Letterman and Saturday Night Live. All
19:39
Speaker 1: eventually came to a halt in twenty eleven when le
19:42
Speaker 1: Pree was convicted on forty one charges of fraud, curious conspiracy,
19:48
Speaker 1: and money laundering. Arrested and indicted, he allegedly scammed more
19:52
Speaker 1: than fifty million dollars from at least two hundred and
19:57
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people from two thousand and four to two
20:00
Speaker 1: thousand and seven.
20:01
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'm trying to think Don la Prey.
20:06
Speaker 1: Was he that sham wow nigga?
20:07
Speaker 3: No, he wasn't that that guy who don't I'm trying
20:13
Speaker 3: to look up right now. This was maybe before our
20:16
Speaker 3: before our like real you know, cognitive cognitive time is
20:20
Speaker 3: that the word I'm trying to say, Like before we
20:22
Speaker 3: were old enough to be watching Letterman and stuff, right.
20:25
Speaker 1: I'm looking him up now. And he used to do
20:27
Speaker 1: like the greatest vitamin in the world and making money secrets.
20:33
Speaker 1: He was popping in like the nineties and the the
20:35
Speaker 1: nine nines in the two thousands, as cash money would say,
20:39
Speaker 1: he said, give me all your cash here, I won't
20:41
Speaker 1: give it back it.
20:46
Speaker 3: Yes, Dollar Prey, somebody needs to remake remake one of
20:50
Speaker 3: his commercials with that.
20:52
Speaker 1: Yes, girl, you're looking good. What's you open that wallet up?
20:55
Speaker 1: Come on now, while it didn't worry, but.
20:58
Speaker 3: You know once you open that cash girl, you look.
21:01
Speaker 1: That's it right, that's what it is. Girl. You looking good?
21:04
Speaker 1: What you opened that cash up? You was a big
21:05
Speaker 1: fire woman. What you open that cashup? Come and rich daddy,
21:09
Speaker 1: when you open that cashup?
21:12
Speaker 3: Done?
21:14
Speaker 1: We love you already. Le Prey moved to Phoenix when
21:17
Speaker 1: he with his family when he was a child. In
21:19
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, he married Sally Redondo. Oh Sally Rodondo,
21:23
Speaker 1: did you have some money? Did you own Rodondo Beach?
21:26
Speaker 1: And two years later the pairs started a credit business
21:29
Speaker 1: called Unknown Concepts. Let me tell you something about scammer names.
21:34
Speaker 1: What for businesses? What your business? Yes, I'm saying, bisness,
21:40
Speaker 1: your business is called Unknown Concepts. What y'all do over there? Unknown?
21:49
Speaker 3: It'snown m H.
21:53
Speaker 1: Don't worry about what we do over here and it
21:55
Speaker 1: is not known.
21:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need to have a concept that we
21:59
Speaker 3: do is known, like what you're not even trying to
22:02
Speaker 3: make this sound legitimate, like right, they said.
22:05
Speaker 1: Scams Incorporated. You can go something for real business name,
22:11
Speaker 1: like something that's going to garner some kind of trust
22:14
Speaker 1: in the public. But anyway, the Attorney General's office charged
22:18
Speaker 1: the couple with violating the state's Consumer Fraud Act and
22:22
Speaker 1: obtained a consent judgment permanently assisting or participating in any
22:27
Speaker 1: credit services from engaging. So basically they I'm trying to
22:31
Speaker 1: read this is a very complicated law language, but to
22:34
Speaker 1: break it down to Layman's terms, they said, y'all are
22:37
Speaker 1: violating the Fraud Act and you can no longer engage
22:42
Speaker 1: or participate in any credit services because you're basically being
22:46
Speaker 1: deceptive as fuck. So unknown concepts, which really seems like judge, yeah, judge,
22:52
Speaker 1: I'm not okay, But may I please start up my
22:55
Speaker 1: new organization, which is.
22:57
Speaker 3: Called Unintelligible Dreams that has nothing to do with credit.
23:04
Speaker 1: We think.
23:07
Speaker 3: We have a new business. It's called Vague Incorporated. It
23:11
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with anything. Yeah, so please let
23:17
Speaker 3: us the judge said, you cannot because in credit repair
23:20
Speaker 3: you have to be able to run people's credit score.
23:22
Speaker 1: So people do have to trust you with a bit
23:24
Speaker 1: of personal information. And this is why, uh, you know,
23:27
Speaker 1: a lot of credit bureau kind of online liaisons got
23:31
Speaker 1: sued and a lot of people got restitution because when
23:34
Speaker 1: they got hacked, they released a lot of people's personal information.
23:37
Speaker 1: And you know free credit dot com. A lot of
23:39
Speaker 1: these places exist online. I'm not saying it's free credit,
23:42
Speaker 1: but this is a common practice. We all use these
23:44
Speaker 1: sites to check our credit. So they came up with
23:46
Speaker 1: unknown concepts, which was like, yeah, put your credit information
23:49
Speaker 1: in here, and we're gonna, uh, we're gonna make sure
23:51
Speaker 1: it's one, a hundred, eight hundred, that's what that's a
23:54
Speaker 1: good score, right, a hundred. We're gonna make sure it's
23:56
Speaker 1: a hundred. So the judge said, y'all can't think nobody's credit. Yeah.
24:01
Speaker 3: I always get it confused with the SAT scores. I
24:03
Speaker 3: think it's they're both eight hundred is what you're shooting for.
24:06
Speaker 1: It used to be sixteen, but then they lowered it.
24:08
Speaker 1: Because I remember when I did SATs, I think like
24:10
Speaker 1: a twelve hundred was the best you could get. So
24:13
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, we gonna make sure your credit
24:14
Speaker 1: scord it your credit score is andre three thousand. Okay,
24:18
Speaker 1: so just in a your information and we will check
24:22
Speaker 1: on your credit immediately. So the judge ruled that y'all
24:25
Speaker 1: can't check nobody's credit. No more. Y'all are doing fraud
24:29
Speaker 1: with their information right lest they be deterred though, Okay.
24:34
Speaker 1: The defendants were ordered to pay a civil penalty and
24:37
Speaker 1: more than five thousand dollars of restitution to complaints. Then
24:41
Speaker 1: they moved on and started selling thirty six page booklets
24:44
Speaker 1: explaining how to recover a Federal Home Association insurance refund
24:48
Speaker 1: after paying off a home mortgage. I don't even know
24:51
Speaker 1: what that is. I might be interested an.
24:54
Speaker 3: FAH loan, as I understand. It is a type of
24:56
Speaker 3: loan that you can get if you're a first time
24:58
Speaker 3: home buyer and it has a very low payment, and
25:01
Speaker 3: I think it means you can usually secure a low
25:03
Speaker 3: interest rate. So they're trying to teach people how to
25:06
Speaker 3: pay off the house but then get an insurance money
25:10
Speaker 3: back somehow. Yeah, they say you can get an insur
25:13
Speaker 3: because your mortgage insurance. Interesting, I don't understand that fully,
25:17
Speaker 3: but it sounds like fraud and scams, right, So on his.
25:20
Speaker 1: Infamous infomercials, which took off shortly after he began Unknown
25:24
Speaker 1: Cossips aka Vague, incorporated his trademark sales pitch was by
25:31
Speaker 1: placing tiny classified ads in the newspaper I'm able to
25:35
Speaker 1: make fifty thousand dollars a week from my tiny one
25:38
Speaker 1: bedroom apartment. La Prayer began broadcasting The Making Money Show
25:42
Speaker 1: with Don lpre in nineteen ninety two. Who Okay, we
25:46
Speaker 1: were very young during this time.
25:48
Speaker 3: So for years that's where all these instagram make five
25:52
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a day people came from. This is the forefather.
25:55
Speaker 3: This is the l Ron Hubbard of those motherfuckers.
25:58
Speaker 1: Yes, this guy is on Mount Rushmore of infomercial scammers. Okay,
26:03
Speaker 1: you thought Miracle spring Water's been around, honey, But my man, Don,
26:09
Speaker 1: he paved the way. He is a leader in the
26:12
Speaker 1: movement of chicanery and I stand so. For years the
26:18
Speaker 1: show was ranked him on the ten most frequently broadcasted
26:21
Speaker 1: cable infomercials. The principal product was his Money Making Secrets,
26:25
Speaker 1: a package of booklets and tapes and common sense tips
26:28
Speaker 1: for placing ads. The product was sold through the New Strategies,
26:32
Speaker 1: whose parent company was Tropical Beaches. Soon after purchasing the package,
26:37
Speaker 1: buyers would be telemarketed by sales representatives who offered additional
26:41
Speaker 1: psychic dating, entertainment, and chat nine hundred lines plus free
26:48
Speaker 1: websites that together cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
26:52
Speaker 1: So after you bought the whole booklet about how you
26:55
Speaker 1: can advertise the newspapers and make fifty thousand dollars from
26:58
Speaker 1: your one bedroom apartment, which also like nobody questioned, Don
27:02
Speaker 1: le Prayan was like, how you making fifty thousand dollars
27:05
Speaker 1: a month and you living in a bachelor Well had it? Yeah,
27:11
Speaker 1: you're doing with it.
27:11
Speaker 3: You making the fifty thousand, but then you have to
27:14
Speaker 3: pay forty eight thousand just something.
27:16
Speaker 1: I'm kafruz. But you know what he said, unknown and
27:20
Speaker 1: that's what he means by unknown concepts. Hmm you will
27:24
Speaker 1: never know mm hmmm.
27:26
Speaker 3: Also you will never know the concept of where all
27:29
Speaker 3: this money goes. He's supposed to be make.
27:31
Speaker 1: Honestly, he sounds like an honest man. He was being truthful.
27:33
Speaker 1: He said unknown, you not, I don't know, you never
27:35
Speaker 1: will know, And I appreciate that. Okay, yeah, a lot
27:39
Speaker 1: of this.
27:40
Speaker 3: I mean, as I am a fan of this show,
27:42
Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff. You as the more you listen,
27:44
Speaker 3: you're like, well, the scammer spelled it all right out
27:46
Speaker 3: for you. They said, I am a scam, this is fraud,
27:48
Speaker 3: this is crimes. I'm going to do unto you. And
27:51
Speaker 3: you still said, Okay, I ran in.
27:54
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it's legitimized by television, and in
27:56
Speaker 1: the nineties, television was a legitimate source for information. We
28:00
Speaker 1: didn't have Twitter, we didn't have any other resource to
28:05
Speaker 1: you know, get our information from. I mean, look at
28:06
Speaker 1: all the protests that have been happening. If we had
28:08
Speaker 1: just only had the news, bruh, we would not know
28:11
Speaker 1: what the fuck was going on in America. Because I've
28:14
Speaker 1: seen news reporter as straight up lie would have like
28:17
Speaker 1: do a voiceover on a video where I have eyes,
28:20
Speaker 1: I have rent must and I'm looking right with lady
28:24
Speaker 1: peoples engaged.
28:25
Speaker 3: I have to tell you I just saw I just
28:28
Speaker 3: saw a news reporter and I don't need to put
28:30
Speaker 3: her name out there because it really was a slip
28:31
Speaker 3: of the tongue, but Lacy, this news reporter was reporting
28:34
Speaker 3: from a protest, and she turned around and said, you
28:37
Speaker 3: know what's interesting is that it is all types of
28:39
Speaker 3: people out here, not just color people, but white people too.
28:44
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I did not just hear colored people
28:47
Speaker 3: on the news. Right now, the news has to go
28:50
Speaker 3: the television. Throw it away, throw it away, throw.
28:52
Speaker 1: It in the trench. That's like when Kobe Bryant passed away.
28:56
Speaker 1: God bless. And the woman was on the news. And
28:59
Speaker 1: I won't say her name either. She said, the Los
29:00
Speaker 1: Angeles Nakers, not to say, oh, the LA Nakers, the
29:06
Speaker 1: LA maker uh uh so? And the specifically what I
29:13
Speaker 1: was talking about was in a protest. I'm watching with
29:16
Speaker 1: my pupils and my retinas right dilated, not dilated, and
29:20
Speaker 1: I see the police shove an old white man with
29:23
Speaker 1: a cane to the ground. And this police officer said,
29:27
Speaker 1: this old white man fail. I said, girl, it's a
29:33
Speaker 1: video plan. We know he ain't fall. We just saw
29:36
Speaker 1: him kip push.
29:38
Speaker 3: What Also, why are you shouting about the thing that
29:43
Speaker 3: just happened. If I saw an old white man fall
29:46
Speaker 3: in front of me, my words would be, are you okay?
29:50
Speaker 1: Do you need help?
29:51
Speaker 3: Not look at here, this old white man hath.
29:54
Speaker 1: Fallen like, what are you the town crier?
29:58
Speaker 3: They're clearly lying.
30:00
Speaker 1: They're like, look, we came here to report the news. Okay,
30:03
Speaker 1: we can't help. We cannot help anybody, bab.
30:08
Speaker 3: Run.
30:10
Speaker 1: So, like we're saying in nineteen ninety two, like television
30:14
Speaker 1: was this viable resource. It's why stereotypes are so bad.
30:17
Speaker 1: It's why everything you know has been so rough for
30:20
Speaker 1: especially Gen X and baby boomers, because television was the
30:22
Speaker 1: only information people had, so they could create the narratives
30:25
Speaker 1: at that point, and that cable wasn't really popping at
30:27
Speaker 1: this time, so all we had was what we were
30:29
Speaker 1: spoon fed by these networks. So something that you see
30:33
Speaker 1: on TV looks legitimate at this time period. Which is
30:37
Speaker 1: why I love going back in the past because I
30:39
Speaker 1: love scammers, and I love talking about the scams of
30:42
Speaker 1: the current you know moment, but I also love talking
30:44
Speaker 1: about how we've evolved from them, because obviously now no
30:47
Speaker 1: one's running scams on television because it's just too hot.
30:50
Speaker 1: You do it on Instagram, you do it on Twitter,
30:52
Speaker 1: You email people from fake email addresses. You try to
30:56
Speaker 1: tap into personal, more closely related system to them. You
31:00
Speaker 1: don't just get on television and be like unless your
31:02
Speaker 1: Miracle spring Water, which does still air every night at
31:04
Speaker 1: three am on Adult Swim or actually on b ET
31:07
Speaker 1: and I love it. I almost order some of Peter
31:09
Speaker 1: Popov's Miracle spring Water. I was like, shit, is twenty twenty.
31:12
Speaker 1: What can it hurt? Let me put some miracle springwater
31:14
Speaker 1: out here.
31:15
Speaker 3: I mean, at the very least you'll be hydrated, right,
31:18
Speaker 3: that's that's.
31:19
Speaker 1: By Jesus or you know somebody adjacent Johnny, Johnny Hayesus,
31:27
Speaker 1: you know somebody so. And also they're calling people who
31:33
Speaker 1: have purchased these packages to be like, hey, now advertise
31:36
Speaker 1: for these other businesses that we have. And at the time,
31:38
Speaker 1: nine eight hundred chat or nine hundred chat lines were
31:40
Speaker 1: still popping. Child. I thank god that in my acting,
31:44
Speaker 1: Karain never had to get on TV and be like,
31:46
Speaker 1: we are eighteen. We is so horny.
31:50
Speaker 5: You know, hey, hey, nasty men, we horny call us now,
31:58
Speaker 5: like I bet you everybody and we are eighteen is
32:00
Speaker 5: a strong thirty seven and that ain't no shade.
32:03
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, Like Hi.
32:06
Speaker 3: Well, I'm proud of the way it's done now where
32:09
Speaker 3: I feel like women are more empowered. Yeah, in some instances,
32:13
Speaker 3: in some circumstances, They're definitely still being exploited. But I'm
32:16
Speaker 3: just saying I see more and more stuff that's like, no,
32:19
Speaker 3: I want to be a webcam girl. I'm I'm taking
32:22
Speaker 3: control of all this actual content. I'm selling this purposefully.
32:25
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. As opposed to back when we.
32:27
Speaker 3: Were young and we just see those girls on like
32:29
Speaker 3: a on a billboard dressed in nothing, holding a super
32:32
Speaker 3: soaker that just says, come on down and buy a
32:34
Speaker 3: tractor or whatever. The fuck, I'm like, oh no, and
32:36
Speaker 3: they will.
32:37
Speaker 1: They would look at the bill You could see their
32:39
Speaker 1: eyes on the billboard like hell hell Like now they
32:44
Speaker 1: can lied to While the picture was being taken, you
32:48
Speaker 1: could tell they showed up and they thought it was
32:49
Speaker 1: an acting job and they was like, wait is It's
32:52
Speaker 1: like this is floss, this is dental flows. And now
32:56
Speaker 1: you know, only fans, which only fans are starting to
32:58
Speaker 1: be shady because after celebrities got involved, now they're trying
33:01
Speaker 1: to boot off the sex workers who made the website
33:03
Speaker 1: what it is. And I do not fucking appreciate that shit.
33:05
Speaker 1: I have friends who are sex workers, Like fuck that shit, Like,
33:08
Speaker 1: let the sex workers get their coins. And I love
33:11
Speaker 1: women being able to get their money from home by
33:13
Speaker 1: being fine. Okay, I love it. I remember I used
33:16
Speaker 1: to always joke in college about how like, if shit
33:19
Speaker 1: didn't work out, I was gonna become a stripper. Then
33:21
Speaker 1: I saw stripper stripping and I said, oh, bitch, y'all,
33:24
Speaker 1: Oh so y'all, Gabby Douglas, Oh so I can't do this. Huh,
33:26
Speaker 1: this is a real talent here.
33:28
Speaker 3: I was the whole time thing and I just had
33:30
Speaker 3: to get out here shake my ass and it looked
33:32
Speaker 3: a little sad, but y'all are strong, like I.
33:35
Speaker 1: Can't do this. Yeah, it really thwarted me.
33:38
Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, too much strength involved.
33:40
Speaker 1: Like strength, beauty, charisma. You gotta be able to talk
33:43
Speaker 1: to everybody hunting and have the energy like that's a talent.
33:47
Speaker 1: And I don't care what y'all say because a lot
33:48
Speaker 1: of us have gone to strip clubs, but then we
33:50
Speaker 1: still want to be shady towards strippers. And I don't
33:52
Speaker 1: believe any honey get that money anyways.
33:56
Speaker 3: Let them have it. I don't even wear high heels
33:58
Speaker 3: walking around on the earth. It's let alone. Can you
34:01
Speaker 3: imagine dancing or being on a pole with them? I
34:03
Speaker 3: tell every costume designer. I'm five foot ten and I
34:06
Speaker 3: never learned to walk in heels, and I just accept
34:08
Speaker 3: my little sad pair of loafers and my feet don't
34:11
Speaker 3: hurt cut I can't. I just I would be a mess.
34:14
Speaker 1: You're your flash. They are very yeah, I know. I
34:17
Speaker 1: try to just you've been giving fashions, and.
34:19
Speaker 3: I try to make it sound like I'm I'm.
34:21
Speaker 1: Our heels because I have a tall person around ahead
34:24
Speaker 1: and I'm five feet tell every time I take a
34:27
Speaker 1: picture everybody, and you're good to me, you look like
34:30
Speaker 1: why you so short? Like what do you mean? You
34:32
Speaker 1: heard my voice? You thought I was tall. That's my scam.
34:37
Speaker 3: That is a scam, and that's a scam that you're
34:38
Speaker 3: running and you're doing it well.
34:40
Speaker 1: So obviously they upset these people after they bought this package,
34:43
Speaker 1: and they're like, go sell these we are eighteen ads,
34:45
Speaker 1: and go sell all this other shit. But they would
34:46
Speaker 1: rarely even receive what they paid for, and many customers
34:51
Speaker 1: like complain that the opportunities were minimal and they were
34:53
Speaker 1: being ripped off. In nineteen ninety four, La Pair was
34:55
Speaker 1: forced to pay the state of Arizona forty five thousand
34:57
Speaker 1: dollars for unemployment and withholding t that he neglected to
35:01
Speaker 1: file in nineteen ninety three and nineteen ninety four. In
35:03
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, the prey had filed for Chapter eleven
35:05
Speaker 1: bankruptcy on behalf of himself, New Strategies, Tropical Beaches, Dofphin Media,
35:10
Speaker 1: Don's Making Money, another one of his businesses, and the
35:14
Speaker 1: National Reminder Service, which I don't even what is that?
35:19
Speaker 3: These businesses that gew what is that? I don't know,
35:21
Speaker 3: but I love these these businesses. The names that Don
35:25
Speaker 3: gave them are just delicious. So his filing listed his assets.
35:29
Speaker 3: The National Reminder Service is almost like too specific, like
35:35
Speaker 3: uncertain times or whatever, you know, unknown vortex. That one
35:38
Speaker 3: is like too vague, But like the Reminder Company, I'm like, okay,
35:42
Speaker 3: I guess I know what you do, but I still don't.
35:45
Speaker 1: You don't it, So we're here to remind you nationally.
35:48
Speaker 1: I love it. I don't even know what it means.
35:50
Speaker 1: I never know what Don Laprey's businesses mean, and I
35:53
Speaker 1: love it. So his filing listed assets of nine million
35:56
Speaker 1: dollars and liabilities of twelve point five million. In nineteen
35:58
Speaker 1: ninety seven, the Internal Revenue Service issued a lean of
36:02
Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars. Excuse me, it's
36:05
Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty seven thousand, nine hundred and nine
36:08
Speaker 1: dollars and forty nine cents against Donald and Sally la
36:11
Speaker 1: Prey for failing to pay delinquent taxes. So now he's
36:14
Speaker 1: in tax trouble, and that's where you don't want to
36:16
Speaker 1: be because Uncle Sam is the pettiest motherfucker alive. I
36:19
Speaker 1: don't know how Uncle Sam does it. It's crazy because
36:23
Speaker 1: I've talked about this before, but people lobby the irs
36:26
Speaker 1: to make sure that they never are funded enough to
36:29
Speaker 1: be able to audit billionaires. So if you're in the
36:31
Speaker 1: middle class or the upper middle class, like Don la Prey,
36:34
Speaker 1: you are going to get that smoke because they can't
36:36
Speaker 1: come after the Jeff Bezos of the world because they're
36:38
Speaker 1: offshoring their money. They have money in too many different places.
36:41
Speaker 1: It's too expensive to audit them, which is why fuck billionaires. Guys.
36:46
Speaker 1: They're not paying proportionally what you're paying in taxes. They
36:49
Speaker 1: don't have to, and we don't have the physical capabilities
36:52
Speaker 1: to make them. So instead they're going after Don la
36:55
Speaker 1: Prey and they say, we saw you all TV. Uncle
36:57
Speaker 1: Sam was like, we saw you all TV girl, and
37:00
Speaker 1: last time I checked, I did not get my coins.
37:04
Speaker 1: So this is when Don enters the vitamin world. Don
37:07
Speaker 1: is busy, busy. So now he said, you know what,
37:13
Speaker 1: so many things. We're not doing advertisements from home anymore.
37:17
Speaker 1: We're selling vitamins, which is also another scam, because health
37:21
Speaker 1: industries are a scam. Guys, we all know that when
37:25
Speaker 1: you're born, it's like this weird trap where you're like, damn,
37:28
Speaker 1: I gotta die someday. I ain't even have wanted to
37:31
Speaker 1: be alive, but then you're like, being alive is cool,
37:35
Speaker 1: and I don't know what comes after, so I want
37:37
Speaker 1: to stay alive, you know. So health is one of
37:41
Speaker 1: the biggest scams in every industry because you're trying to
37:45
Speaker 1: buy more life, and to a certain extent, you feel
37:48
Speaker 1: better about yourself when you drink some grass. I've drank
37:53
Speaker 1: wheat grass and blue grass and any type of grass
37:57
Speaker 1: they tell me to drink. I say, okay, it scratch
37:59
Speaker 1: in my throat, but I feel alive.
38:01
Speaker 3: I take a handful of pills every day that I
38:04
Speaker 3: got from a woman who I met in Santa Monica,
38:07
Speaker 3: and she had glowing skin and I said I want
38:09
Speaker 3: this life, and I still take those pills because I
38:14
Speaker 3: your skin looks I.
38:15
Speaker 1: Don't skin looks like it's blowing.
38:17
Speaker 3: Girl.
38:17
Speaker 1: Thanks, but I think it did be I probably did.
38:20
Speaker 3: But.
38:23
Speaker 1: No harm in keeping it up. Maybe here's what I
38:27
Speaker 1: have to say about.
38:27
Speaker 3: It, right, Yeah, And what's the harm I'm doing by
38:30
Speaker 3: swallowing these little fish oil is just I'm putting a
38:32
Speaker 3: little too much, right, you know.
38:35
Speaker 1: No, I absolutely agree with you. I also have to
38:37
Speaker 1: say that even though a lot of health stuff is
38:39
Speaker 1: a scam, placebo effect is real. So if you feel
38:43
Speaker 1: better about the way that you're living your life, if
38:45
Speaker 1: you feel good about the crystals you buy, if you
38:48
Speaker 1: feel better when you wave some sage up in your house, honey,
38:52
Speaker 1: because I'd be doing that, honey, then it's worth what
38:55
Speaker 1: you paid. Because really what you want is calm and
38:59
Speaker 1: peace and things that reduce stress and cortisol. And even
39:02
Speaker 1: if it's not directly from the product that you've purchased,
39:05
Speaker 1: if you're see, I'm a scammer because I'm over here
39:07
Speaker 1: trying to convince you how to buy.
39:10
Speaker 3: What's interesting is you're a scammer, but you're up in
39:13
Speaker 3: this instance. You're a proud mark like you you accept
39:17
Speaker 3: your markedness, but only in this instance because otherwise you're
39:20
Speaker 3: a very scammer. You know, we're all multifaceting. You're right,
39:23
Speaker 3: and I have been duped. I have been scammed, which
39:25
Speaker 3: is why I love scams. And I can love them
39:27
Speaker 3: from both sides, because I've been hurt by scams absolutely,
39:30
Speaker 3: and I want to keep you guys from being hurt.
39:31
Speaker 3: But also like, there's some scams that I'm like, this
39:34
Speaker 3: ain't so bad. So he starts selling vital means. Eventually,
39:40
Speaker 3: authorities started to notice one of Lapraier's newer projects, the
39:42
Speaker 3: Greatest Vitamin of the World, Customers were being told that
39:45
Speaker 3: they could earn commission checks of one thousand dollars or
39:47
Speaker 3: more by getting people to buy vitamins through customized websites
39:50
Speaker 3: that sold Internet advertising packages. So now he's just combining
39:53
Speaker 3: two scams. He was telling people to buy newspaper ads
39:58
Speaker 3: and he was sending them advertisers, and now he's like,
40:02
Speaker 3: sell vitamins and also sell them on the Internet. So,
40:07
Speaker 3: according to federal prosecutors, the marketing was mostly ineffective and
40:10
Speaker 3: full of pop up banner ads, which in the nineties,
40:13
Speaker 3: if you got to pop up, it will ruin your
40:14
Speaker 3: whole computer. That's before we had MAX and MAX have
40:17
Speaker 3: kind of been the most fortified when it comes to viruses.
40:21
Speaker 3: So you got an HP or a desktop, like honey,
40:24
Speaker 3: those pop ups were yeah, you had a gateway.
40:29
Speaker 1: That's the rhyme. But you you got a gateway, you
40:32
Speaker 1: gotta throw it away. Everybody knows a gayway. You got
40:36
Speaker 1: two years out of that bitch before every pop up
40:38
Speaker 1: is coming up, like penis enlargement. You gotta just put
40:41
Speaker 1: it into trash.
40:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's just it. Then it's just a doorstop.
40:46
Speaker 1: So in two thousand and five, the Food and Drug
40:48
Speaker 1: Administration cited the entrepreneur for his claims that his vitamins
40:50
Speaker 1: were for diseases like diabetes, stroke, card disease, insomnia, cancer,
40:55
Speaker 1: and arthritis, warning him in a statement that his products
40:58
Speaker 1: were not generally recognized as see or effective. So not
41:02
Speaker 1: only were they not affected, they're like these might kill people. Also,
41:08
Speaker 1: you're trying to treat too many diseases. Done. You can't
41:10
Speaker 1: just be like my pill works for diabetes, rashes X,
41:16
Speaker 1: restless legs, ndrome. You got corneas, you got cataracts, you
41:22
Speaker 1: got a bad tooth. You got like you can't work
41:26
Speaker 1: for everything done, pick a lane.
41:29
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the hallmark of a fake that's
41:32
Speaker 3: a homework of a fake miracle cure, right, because like
41:34
Speaker 3: you look at aspirin, aspirin cures one to three things.
41:39
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll be like, does your head hurt? Does a
41:41
Speaker 3: small thing in your body hurt? Or you maybe having
41:44
Speaker 3: a small heart attack and.
41:46
Speaker 1: Having a very chill heart attack. But Bayar, don't even
41:51
Speaker 1: go to the doctor. You having a chill heart attack. You'
41:53
Speaker 1: just like ow my heart. Go ahead, have some bayar,
41:57
Speaker 1: just like a whisper and take a nap.
42:01
Speaker 3: Right, But like all these miracle ones try to Oh
42:04
Speaker 3: my god, you know what, I actually remembered my husband
42:07
Speaker 3: and I once we were in Ecuador and he got
42:09
Speaker 3: food poisoning. And this is a small tangent, dear readers,
42:12
Speaker 3: but he got food poisoning. And the people we were
42:15
Speaker 3: staying with were like, oh, well, we have this stuff
42:17
Speaker 3: that we can give you. You have to mix it
42:20
Speaker 3: really carefully, and here you should read this binder to
42:22
Speaker 3: make sure you're okay taking it. And they were these
42:24
Speaker 3: chill like Equadorian hippi people. So I was like, okay,
42:26
Speaker 3: I'll read their little hippie cure or whatever, and it
42:29
Speaker 3: was that MMS stuff, you know, that like miracle solution
42:33
Speaker 3: whatever that they say cures like autism, but you're drinking bleach.
42:38
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, were like,
42:41
Speaker 3: why does the bottle say Clorox? Cause right, why how
42:44
Speaker 3: comes something that's supposed to cure he ate a bad
42:47
Speaker 3: piece of chicken and he's taken a drug supposedly that
42:50
Speaker 3: cures autism. Oh good.
42:52
Speaker 1: The company failed to substantiate the following advertisement claims. They said,
42:56
Speaker 1: our company will pay you one thousand dollars upfront or
42:58
Speaker 1: two hundred a month the rest of your life, every
43:01
Speaker 1: single time you get twenty new people to try our
43:03
Speaker 1: amazing vitamin, you know. And this is something that this
43:07
Speaker 1: is language that's really deceptive when it comes to the
43:09
Speaker 1: type of people who are probably participating in this scam
43:11
Speaker 1: where people may have lower income, have people and my
43:14
Speaker 1: family take really poor deals because they want to cash
43:16
Speaker 1: up front. But the interesting thing here is is that
43:18
Speaker 1: they're saying two hundred a month forever or one thousand
43:22
Speaker 1: dollars right now, and so of course people are gonna
43:26
Speaker 1: quate two hundred a month forever is more money and
43:28
Speaker 1: go with that. But each week they say that they
43:31
Speaker 1: pay you on all the revenue earned the week prior.
43:34
Speaker 1: This is the easiest way in the world to start
43:36
Speaker 1: generating one thousand dollars checks over and over again. This
43:40
Speaker 1: will make no damn sense, they said. Our top people
43:42
Speaker 1: have made thousands of thousands of dollars doing this, which
43:44
Speaker 1: very much sounds like Donald Trump, Like, can y'all put
43:47
Speaker 1: a real number on it? Each month you get just
43:49
Speaker 1: one hundred new vitamin clients, just one hundred, you know,
43:52
Speaker 1: a chill hundred new vitamin clients, and we pay you
43:56
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars as a bonus. You know hardness to
43:58
Speaker 1: get one hundred people to buy when you were just
44:01
Speaker 1: a person.
44:02
Speaker 3: You know how it is to get one hundred people
44:04
Speaker 3: to just like follow you on social media if you
44:07
Speaker 3: don't have something specific you're like to convince a hundred
44:10
Speaker 3: people to do.
44:11
Speaker 1: You can't even get one hundred people on evite to
44:13
Speaker 1: rsvpt your function, Like.
44:17
Speaker 3: You can't get one hundred people to come to, you know,
44:20
Speaker 3: a ladies' night at a club where like the drinks
44:23
Speaker 3: are half right early, like there's still gonna be they're
44:25
Speaker 3: gonna get like fifty.
44:26
Speaker 1: Eight three before eleven at the club. Can't get a
44:29
Speaker 1: hundred people like and y'all thought we was gonna get
44:33
Speaker 1: a hundred people buying vitamins in the nineties. So they
44:37
Speaker 1: told all these lies and his business was rated by
44:40
Speaker 1: the US Postal Inspection Service. By the beginning of two
44:43
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, his Greatest Vitamin of the World sites
44:45
Speaker 1: were no longer functioning, so they did an investigation on
44:49
Speaker 1: my guy. On the day he was supports to appear
44:52
Speaker 1: in court for his arraignment, he was found near a
44:55
Speaker 1: local fitness center in bad physical condition, apparently living inside
44:59
Speaker 1: of a gym for a day and a half before
45:01
Speaker 1: he was found. He went underwent emergency surgery and was
45:04
Speaker 1: arraigned at the hospital. Leading up to his death, la
45:07
Speaker 1: Prey posted what seemed to be a farewell statement on
45:10
Speaker 1: his website, saying that he was left to fight a
45:12
Speaker 1: battle that will for sure destroy what energy I have
45:15
Speaker 1: left inside. I mean, he was charismatic, he was a
45:19
Speaker 1: great scammer. I guess he decided to hide out from
45:21
Speaker 1: the Feds in a gym. He went to twenty four
45:23
Speaker 1: hour fitness and he was like, I'm gonna be here
45:25
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
45:27
Speaker 3: I guess, wait, what did he die of?
45:29
Speaker 1: I haven't told you what he died of yet. He
45:32
Speaker 1: actually this is the only bummer guys. We try to
45:35
Speaker 1: keep it light here. But Don la Prey unfortunately took
45:38
Speaker 1: his own life in prison. But he added, I tried
45:40
Speaker 1: to create the best product on earth, paid out millions,
45:43
Speaker 1: made very little, trying to make it a success. I
45:45
Speaker 1: have been accused of something I did not do. I
45:47
Speaker 1: did not have the perfect company, but never once did
45:50
Speaker 1: I allow one thing to be done that would violate
45:53
Speaker 1: any law. He concluded by thanking his supporters and telling
45:56
Speaker 1: them to never stop dreaming. He has one commercial on YouTube.
46:00
Speaker 1: That's his last commercial, and all the comments are just
46:04
Speaker 1: fans of Don le Pride. He had a following, He
46:07
Speaker 1: had a lot of people who loved him. He was
46:09
Speaker 1: essentially a cult leader, and they're charismatic the I mean,
46:12
Speaker 1: I've looked him up online. He just has a kind
46:15
Speaker 1: of face that you would kind of trust because you
46:17
Speaker 1: know what it is when you're in a position where
46:22
Speaker 1: your despo meter is high, like we say on this show,
46:24
Speaker 1: and you may not be making a lot of money.
46:26
Speaker 1: I mean, capitalism is fucked as we've seen over the
46:28
Speaker 1: past few weeks, America's been scammed by our government, by
46:32
Speaker 1: our political leaders. They're giving more fifty percent of LA's
46:35
Speaker 1: budget right now, which we all emailed and called, but
46:37
Speaker 1: we don't know if it's going to work. It is
46:39
Speaker 1: going to the LAPD fifty four. Mind you, they are
46:44
Speaker 1: outfitted like they are going to war in these protests. Meanwhile,
46:49
Speaker 1: our healthcare providers and professionals don't even have PPE. They're
46:54
Speaker 1: covering themselves in trash backs to treat coronavirus. Like, we
46:57
Speaker 1: have fucked up priorities in this country, and we everything's
47:00
Speaker 1: fucked up when it comes to where our money goes.
47:03
Speaker 1: And I look at Don and I've looked at his face,
47:05
Speaker 1: and he looks like a working class guy. He looks
47:06
Speaker 1: like a guy who's been through shit. I could easily
47:09
Speaker 1: see why people would look at him and be like,
47:11
Speaker 1: he's one of us, and he's trying to help us
47:13
Speaker 1: scam the system and get rich too, Because I don't
47:15
Speaker 1: think anybody looked at Unknown Concepts and thought that that
47:18
Speaker 1: shit was a legitimate business. They were like, we're entering
47:21
Speaker 1: a scam business and we.
47:22
Speaker 3: Happy to Yeah, they want to join the scam a
47:25
Speaker 3: little bit, which you don't. I don't blame some people
47:27
Speaker 3: for they've been working hard, too hard and not being rewarded,
47:31
Speaker 3: so then they want they want something that seems a
47:33
Speaker 3: little easier, not.
47:34
Speaker 1: Being rewarded, not being respected by this country. So I
47:38
Speaker 1: absolutely understand why people be like, hmm, we might as
47:41
Speaker 1: well go ahead and join.
47:46
Speaker 3: The National Reminder. I'm a gid reminders nationally.
47:50
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
47:52
Speaker 3: Oh, I love that name.
47:55
Speaker 1: I absolutely adore it. I think it's fantastic. But guys,
47:58
Speaker 1: this is always the saddest portion of the show. This
48:00
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna have to let my sister Tawni go.
48:03
Speaker 1: But before she goes to live her excellent life. Oh,
48:08
Speaker 1: I just adore everything about you, Tony. You have no
48:10
Speaker 1: idea scammer of the week, So Tony, we're just gonna
48:14
Speaker 1: talk about an infamous charlatan that is worthy of our praise.
48:19
Speaker 1: Uh and the scammer of the week. Okay, So I
48:22
Speaker 1: have to caveat this because the scammer of the week
48:24
Speaker 1: this week. I don't like this scammer, but he scammed
48:28
Speaker 1: somebody that we love. A black queen. Antonio Marriott Wilson
48:39
Speaker 1: is a con artist who targeted Jennifer Lewis of Blackish.
48:48
Speaker 6: Lewis absolutely black person's auntie, Mama and grandma since I
48:57
Speaker 6: was alive, Jennifer Lewis, and it ain't.
49:01
Speaker 3: The Queen of her chin in the air act, the
49:05
Speaker 3: chin in.
49:06
Speaker 1: The air and the nunciation acting. How dare you, Antony?
49:12
Speaker 3: You will hear her consonants and vowels? What? Oh?
49:20
Speaker 1: I love her? What did this man do to her?
49:23
Speaker 1: What's what's that? My fair lady? Is that it? What's
49:25
Speaker 1: that movie where they teach that white lady how to talk?
49:27
Speaker 1: Is she British? Yeah?
49:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that that's some Henry Higgins.
49:32
Speaker 1: Save a naye or whatever the fuck? Like she could
49:36
Speaker 1: never she could never, Okay, honey, nobody has a grasp
49:40
Speaker 1: on consonants like our queen. And I am hearing you.
49:44
Speaker 3: What you're saying is what you're saying is we need
49:47
Speaker 3: a reboot of My Fair Lady with Jennifer Lewis and
49:49
Speaker 3: the lead, and I do.
49:51
Speaker 1: And honestly, we need it. The culture needs it. So
49:55
Speaker 1: Antonio actually pled guilty a few weeks ago to a
49:59
Speaker 1: federal wife charge for conning Lewis and three other women
50:03
Speaker 1: to invest in a fake business. And this is from
50:06
Speaker 1: KTLA in Los Angeles. The Santa Monic Command tricked three
50:11
Speaker 1: hundred eighty seven thousand dollars out of these women. Wilson,
50:14
Speaker 1: that's Antonio is fifty seven. He worked at a La
50:18
Speaker 1: Finished gym in Los Angeles where he met Jennifer Lewis.
50:21
Speaker 1: Lewis states that Wilson conned fifty thousand dollars from her
50:25
Speaker 1: following a three month romantic relationship with him, and falsely
50:30
Speaker 1: convinced her that he was an Oscar winner and that
50:33
Speaker 1: the money was an investment in a film project. Wait
50:37
Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait wait.
50:39
Speaker 3: So in addition to stealing her money, he also, like
50:42
Speaker 3: Dirty johned her like he conned her into a romantic
50:46
Speaker 3: relationship too.
50:48
Speaker 1: Yes, and I listened to an interview with Jennifer where
50:52
Speaker 1: she was saying that she was very busy at this time.
50:54
Speaker 1: Obviously she was doing Blackest. She was preparing to be
50:57
Speaker 1: an honorary graduate at a university and give a speech
51:00
Speaker 1: at their graduation. She was very kind of overwhelmed in
51:03
Speaker 1: this part of her lifetyle like Honey's working. She's booked
51:05
Speaker 1: and busy, and she's a queen. And honestly, Antonio, I
51:10
Speaker 1: have to infer that you got good dick, because you
51:13
Speaker 1: know it's just it's just right there, like you must
51:17
Speaker 1: be accurate really piping it, you know, because otherwise how
51:22
Speaker 1: are we getting so distracted? Also like Oscar Winner, I
51:26
Speaker 1: love Jennifer Oscar Winner, but now but now he works
51:29
Speaker 1: at the at the LA Famous.
51:32
Speaker 3: Like what he did, he wint an Oscar for stunts.
51:35
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be.
51:38
Speaker 5: For a film.
51:39
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yeah, won it for a film? Girl, So
51:43
Speaker 3: you know, and that's not to say she was busy.
51:46
Speaker 3: She was busy.
51:47
Speaker 1: She was busy. I'm trying to been my Gouen. I'm like,
51:54
Speaker 1: that's not to say you can't get to a certain
51:55
Speaker 1: statue in Holly Hollywood, or get to a certain position,
51:58
Speaker 1: or make a certain amount of money. And that can change.
52:01
Speaker 1: Actors have to pay aggressive taxes on what we made.
52:04
Speaker 1: We don't get taxes pulled out by the government. So
52:06
Speaker 1: Uncle Sam comes for us for five six figures at
52:09
Speaker 1: the end of the year. But you know, it's nothing
52:12
Speaker 1: that we do is stable. He engaged in a romantic
52:15
Speaker 1: relationship with three other women via the Bumble dating app
52:18
Speaker 1: and convinced them into giving him money to invest in
52:21
Speaker 1: a software company called Second Life and sound design company
52:27
Speaker 1: called Ultimate FX. Now these unlike what was vague enterprises, Yeah,
52:34
Speaker 1: the donat unlike his names, these sound legitimate. When I
52:38
Speaker 1: hear sound design and I hear Ultimate FX, I'm like
52:41
Speaker 1: that sounds like sound. When I hear Second Life, I'm
52:43
Speaker 1: think software. I'm like, these are good names, but obviously
52:49
Speaker 1: both were shams. Jennifer Lewis sued the gym and settled
52:53
Speaker 1: out of court for thirteen thousand dollars, according to Daily Mail,
52:57
Speaker 1: in addition to falsely claiming because basically what she was
53:00
Speaker 1: saying in her interview was that he got the job
53:03
Speaker 1: at the gym because he had targeted Jennifer Lewis because
53:06
Speaker 1: he had found out that she worked out at this gym.
53:08
Speaker 1: So then he went and got membership because he was
53:10
Speaker 1: trying to get next to her. So, in addition to
53:14
Speaker 1: falseley claiming to have won Academy award, Wilson also claimed
53:17
Speaker 1: to be an Oxford University professor and a US Navy seal. Bruh,
53:21
Speaker 1: you were happy. You gave yourself a real accomplished life
53:24
Speaker 1: for working at La fit No shade. If you work
53:26
Speaker 1: at La finnis no shade, and he's like but I
53:28
Speaker 1: am saying if you went to Oxford in London and
53:33
Speaker 1: you were a professor and you were a US Navy seal,
53:36
Speaker 1: it just would seem like you have enough other skill
53:39
Speaker 1: sets to not necessarily warrant working at a gym.
53:43
Speaker 3: Right, It's like he added too many things. And I
53:45
Speaker 3: know you talk about this a lot, like scammers, they
53:47
Speaker 3: just be like they're giving you too much information, because
53:49
Speaker 3: why is he going to be like all these things?
53:50
Speaker 1: And then like it's just too much.
53:52
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I'm also the Prince of Monaco, and
53:55
Speaker 3: my dad is Desmond Tutu, and I invented post its.
53:58
Speaker 1: I also have a sail boat. And why we didn't
54:01
Speaker 1: ask this a man? Right then? I've dated for three months.
54:06
Speaker 1: I don't know these things. So Wilson used the money
54:09
Speaker 1: to pay for credit card debt and personal expenses. He
54:12
Speaker 1: had previously served four years in prison for tax evasion
54:15
Speaker 1: and wirefraud, so he is a career scammer. He faces
54:18
Speaker 1: up to twenty years during this sentence, Antonio, I do
54:21
Speaker 1: not applaud this scam. I know you're scammer of the week,
54:25
Speaker 1: but it's not for a good reason. You scammed our queen.
54:30
Speaker 1: It ain't right.
54:31
Speaker 3: It's not right, and I know that brings Lacey no
54:34
Speaker 3: joy to not support one of her good scammers. But
54:38
Speaker 3: you pushed just too far this week, not this week. Now,
54:42
Speaker 3: You're not gonna mess with a black not a matriarch
54:44
Speaker 3: this week, sir.

54:51
Speaker 1: the community. I pronounced every.

55:01

55:08
Speaker 4: I can't believe you, Antonio. You ain't right, You ain't right.
