  Speaker 2: Scam Goddess, back with another installment of the podcast all
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we love them.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we hate them. But one thing's for sure, this
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: is a comedy podcast, so we will laugh at them,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: but never at the victims.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. And congregation, you already know that I'm what? Yes. Excited. Thrilled. Elated. Okay?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Stand up. Stand up in your cars. Stand up, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: at your job. Stand up at your desk. Get a little.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: You know, activity going. We like that for you. And
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: please welcome Carrie Coddett. She's a New York-based comedian, actress,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and writer. Her credits include Flatbush Misdemeanors, funny as hell, Rami, Crashing,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, all bops. Love that for us. Carrie, welcome to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the show. Hi. It's so nice to have you. Thank
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: you for having me. I'm excited.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love that you're using our language. It's gotten
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: very limited. I'm going to expand my lexicon and give
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the girls some different words.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: More than excited? Yeah. I try to go with thrilled,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you know. Enticed feels a little too sexual. But something.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I say I'm pumped, but I say it just
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: like that. And people are like, that feels not sincere.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm pumped. I'm pumped. Pumped feels like a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: white people wear, like, malarkey. Like... Probably. I'm pumped. I'm stoked.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Is there anything stoked in? I've never said stoked. You've
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: never said stoked? I've never said stoked.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Pumped felt natural when you said it. Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I feel like when I say it, it doesn't feel
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that natural.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I have to ask you, Keri, first and foremost...
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You used to live in New York City, right? Mm-hmm.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: In your recent L.A. transplant. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, so I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: know you have some type of relationship with scams. Do
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you love them? Do you hate them?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Are there any that you kind of, like, fuck with?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Other ones that you, you know, anything that you've seen?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I love a good scam. I'm not gonna lie. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: love a good scam. I feel like there's a code
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of ethics that you have to have, though.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And so I feel like you should never scam people.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But if you scam in corporations, in systems, I'm with
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the shits. I love that you say that. Because we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: always say scam up, don't scam down. But I love
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that you said don't scam people. Because I think.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That for so long, corporations have tried to trick us
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that they are people.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And it's getting worse and worse. Have you noticed that?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Like how ads, like, do you have a TikTok or like?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I have a TikTok, but I'm not on it. It's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a lot going on. I can't figure out how you
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: even get to the feed part.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I just, I'm not.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm old.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm on Instagram. That's as far as I'm going.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So the lineage of like how jokes and stuff go,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: it's like it first appears on TikTok, then you see
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it on Instagram, then it'd be on Facebook. So you're
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: at the millennial Instagram, which is good. If something says
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: good on Instagram, I'd be like, maybe I should put
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it on TikTok. And so I'm doing it the other way.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing it the other way. Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: The thing is, I feel like TikTok is not as
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: much of a hater when it comes to the algorithm.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: If you take it from Instagram and put it on TikTok.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But Instagram will hate if you have something on TikTok
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and put it on Instagram. Because they can tell that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it came from TikTok and downloaded it and they'll suppress it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That's too much. So it's like it's forcing you to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be loyal to one platform. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: been a hater for so long. They used to let
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: us see our friends. That is true.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many people? I'm like, did I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: unfollow you or are you dead? Like, what happened to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this person?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If I'm seeing you on my timeline, I think
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: something happened to you. Right. At some point, we have
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to start doing welfare DMs. Like, how have you been? Like,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: are you alive? Right. Yeah. Did you see the message? Okay, okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: they saw it. They saw it. So somebody's running the page.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like I see a lot of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: companies masquerading as people now, and it's so annoying to me. Like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you'll see someone post something, and then the companies will
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: come in like, oh, don't play with us.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's Wendy's, bitch.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, like the voice of their social. It's like
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a person, and they're all trying to be really cute.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And it's like, it's just, just sell me the burger, bro.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Or not, but like all the other stuff.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Especially I was seeing stuff during Love Island. Sarah V
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: got in trouble because.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Well, they do.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So, you know how Sarah V and I've said this before.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Love Island is our Stanford prison experiment. And, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: we lock the babies up and sleep to prep them and,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know, make them make them that kid, you know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But Sarah V is always a huge sponsor. So they'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, a little little bikini babies. It's time
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to put on your Sarah V and go outside. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there was like a. Did you watch this past season?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I did. I did. So you remember when T.T. came
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in and she turned it into a little... She was like,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm T.T. Well, I'm talking to you. I tuned in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: just after that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I got to start watching now
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because I need to understand why everybody's T.T.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Right. That's how they got me season seven. I was like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who's this hood lady and why does everyone hate her?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: That's how they got me to it. Elandria. I'm like,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: who is this? Right. And why do I need to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: go defend my black queen? So the I'm T.T. stuff...
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Sarah V.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Dressed up their bottles in the outfits that T.T. and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that man, whatever that man name is.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Casey.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: They dressed up the bottles in the outfits that they
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: had on. And it was like, pipe down, I'm Sarah V.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And I guess this moment was kind of racially charged
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and a little negative for T.T.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And Casey and also for... They made them sassy suntan lotion. Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And everybody was like, this is really tone deaf. Why
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: would you do this?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But, like, that's how comfortable they feel now, pretending to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: be people. And I'm like, you're not a person. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: don't care about you, corporation.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Wasn't there something with Pepsi the other day where it
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was like, Cherry doesn't ask for consent or something?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I saw that. There was something like that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There was something with consent, and I think it was Pepsi.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Don't quote me on that. No, it was. It was Pepsi.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It was like Cherry Pepsi and then the other Pepsis. Mm-hmm. Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and what's crazy to me is, like, Pepsi.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: This is what you get for following along with firing
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: your DEI hires. If you had some black people in
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that marketing room, they would have told you this wasn't smart.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Just like they would have told you not to tell
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Kendall Jenner to walk... And.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Offer the can in the middle of the... The racial protest.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: A can of Pepsi to cure racism. You know, in hindsight,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: as we say it, so now, like, it was annoying,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: but now that I think about it, I get why
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they're trying to be relevant.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, if you were an old, dying brand, what
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you gonna do? Like, how do you stay relevant? So
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I think they're just probably trying to stay a part
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of the competition and part of the conversation.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So I guess, but it's desperate.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately now, it kind of feels like anything being
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a part of the conversation is good. So even if
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: it's backlash, they're still getting talked about. They're still getting
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the clicks and the algorithms in their favor.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: All press is good press. Which I hate that. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: miss when people used to do damage control. I miss, like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a good publicist.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I miss, like, a nasty, like, Oprah couch moment where
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you cry and you really tell the girls to come
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: back and buy your product.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Because you changed.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: But those always backfire, too. That's the whole thing, especially
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in these times. Like, people will go on and they'll apologize,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and we'll be like, you made it worse. You shouldn't
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: be quiet. You shouldn't have just shut the fuck up.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: That's because you can't do your own front-facing apology. You
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: have to go on somebody else's platform.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Anytime you whip out your camera.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to think it's genuine because I know
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: you went to the poorest-looking place in your house.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Like, where can you not see the acreage? They
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: don't do their makeup. They got to make it look
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like they've been crying. Right, right. Rub their eyes real hard.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They got the quivering voice. Yeah. Right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, and then it's always half-assed apologies. Like, I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: sorry if I've harmed. Like, there should be no if
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: in your apology. I think, though, that we should stop
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: asking people to apologize, bro. I think like that. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: has gotten so crazy. We all know you're not really sorry.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Also, you're not really mad. You're mad today. Tomorrow is
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: going to be something else. Why I got to apologize?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's not really that big of a deal. Fuck off. Right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so annoyed. I'm hating. What I'm going to have
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to apologize for in the future. I'm already knowing, bro.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm already knowing. You hate the scam of apologizing in public?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It's so dumb. It's so disingenuous. We know you don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: really mean it. It's just dumb. It's just like a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: fun humiliation ritual.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Look, if strangers on the planet are just going to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: give you money to follow your dreams, meanwhile, they got
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to clock in to whatever job they hate.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: The least you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Can do is rub your eyes, get in your bathtub,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and give us a little fake apology.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That will also tear apart. I guess. I guess. Damn.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: This is the life we chose, girl. It is.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: It chose us. Have you had to apologize for anything yet?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Don't even say those words in the ether, okay? Don't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: speak that. Don't speak that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I try to be very, very careful. See, now you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: cut that out.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Cut that out, okay? Because I don't even want people
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: thinking about it. Yeah, don't have them looking for shit.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Right. All right, back to Sarah B. Or whatever's on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the card. We got off the card. We're going to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: move into our historic hoodwink today, okay? This is where
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I will regale Carrie with a famous con caper, group
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of criminals. We'll see how she feels all the way through.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I wanted to, like, hearken back to your time in
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're going to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: talking about the most colorful house in Queens.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: So this house, like, what do you think about this house?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: First of all, is this the most colorful? I guess
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: this is New York. They don't really do color.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It's not Miami. Yeah, no, I've never seen a house
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: this colorful. I love the lights.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're east-facing, but it looks like
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they get really great lights.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Well, it seems like there's a lot of windows, so
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: they have to be getting good lights somewhere. I feel
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: like I would be hating on them if I was
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: their neighbor. I was just like, wait, look at what's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: next door. That's so crazy. Like, I don't know how
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I would feel walking up to my driveway every day
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: having to walk past this. Also, I feel like this
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: opens yourself up to robbery. Like the windows, it doesn't
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: seem like they got curtains going on. White people never
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: put curtains on their window though. Like that's the whole thing.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Like I used to live in Bed-Stuy, and I remember
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: when the gentrification was really coming, and I was like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: why are they moving in and then not putting up curtains?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It's almost like they're like, look what I can do
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: with your land.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And it's just like... And so I feel like it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a status symbol. It's saying, like, look at how I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: live inside and fuck with me if you want to.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And I feel like in America, that's probably what it's giving...
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: In other places, like, I remember being in Amsterdam, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of places there, like, they don't have curtains.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: They leave their windows open. Like, we would take, like,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: tours or be walking along the canal. And, like, Amsterdam
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: itself is so small. And, like, you would see, like,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: kids doing homework at the table or the moms serving
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a dinner or they're watching TV, like.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But it does feel like it's still
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a flex. It's the European whites. They're bringing their European
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: ways over here. Which I still think is a flex.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: It is. That's just not how we are. Like, my
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: curtains are closed. Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And, like, when you come to my house, this is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the room I want you to be in. Don't ask
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: for a tour. Mind your business. The other rooms are
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: off limits. Tours is crazy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Tours are crazy. No, no. I got a designated bathroom.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: That's why I call it the guest bathroom. You're not
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: going to be in my bathroom rifling through my medicine
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: cabinets and looking at my makeup and stuff.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You know, no, no, no, no, no. I'm with you
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on that. I'm down for the privacy. But, I mean,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I guess it's because we have survival instincts. You know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I was reading the other day, like, when you're an
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: apex predator, you're not really scared of much.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That's why when shots start ringing out, they never run fast. Nope.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: They actually run towards the danger. What's going on? Hold on,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: let me stop this. I've never been that curious. I've
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: never been like, let me go see. I'm never trying
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to see. No, you could pop a balloon. I'm running
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. I don't want to know. I don't.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: But this house, you know, it looks cheerful from the curb, right?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: But it's actually a candyland-colored nightmare maze built and sustained
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: with money stolen from its own neighbors in a tight-knit
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: immigrant community.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And it's currently for sale. So this is the inside. Oh, wow.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I would feel. On one hand,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I have anxiety and depression.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe this would heal me. It is so ugly. It
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is so ugly. It is. Is it, though? This would
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: heal you? What is actually going on that this is, like,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the balm to your soul?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me right now? This is like a kaleidoscope.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: This looks like a mushroom trip. This is crazy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe it's time for the 5150. Because I feel
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: like this is calming. So you hated the outside, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you love the inside? It's so kitschy and ugly that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's kind of spinning the block for me and becoming.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: not bro it's so ugly you don't see.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: No whimsy come on look at that red refrigerator.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy it's so many things at the same
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: time and those chairs they make no sense like it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like i'm not a very good decorator so.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: For me i'm kind of like if i'm not gonna
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: be good.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: At it i might as well just be really bad
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: at it no and act like there's a choice that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: not is that how you apply like other things in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: life if i'm not good i should just be the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: worst If you can't be the best, be the worst.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Lacey, I want so much more for you,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to be honest. Like, I really.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So, wait, I have a question. How did they come
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: to acquire the house? How was this a scam? Who
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: did they steal from? So, they sustained the money and
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: built this with, like, money from their own neighbors. So,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they were stealing from their tight-knit immigrant community. So, a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: little bit of backstory about, like, Astoria itself, because this
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: is in Queens.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So, Astoria is a little bit of a scam on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: its own.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So this is where this creepy house is located. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: on 36th Avenue in Astoria, Queens, which was originally the
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: site of a War of 1812 fort before it became
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: its own town. So in the War of 1812, this
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: was a fort where they were, you know, bunkering down
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and stuff. So this is before it became a town.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: It used to be called Hallett's Cove before fur trader
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Stephen A. Halsey renamed it Astoria, see?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: We were talking about this before the show started. About naming.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You see how the names. Yes. How they dad, they
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: gentrified the name. It's getting a selling sunset. Like, oh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: this house, this $ 40 million house is on Pinto Street.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But you know what? Pinto doesn't get $ 40 million. It doesn't. Pinto? No.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: What about Hummingbird Lane? So he was like, Hallet's Cove.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: What the hell is a Hallet? It sounds like you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in the trenches. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So Astoria does have a ring to it. So, it
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: changed to Astoria in 1939. A lot was going on
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: in 1939.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Times.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So, this was after the USA's current rich man, Jacob Astor,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: who was also a fur trader.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: So, it was called Astoria, named after Jacob Astor.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Because, like, in New York, there's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Astor Place. There's a bunch of things named after him.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: But I didn't know that Astoria... I don't like Astoria, though.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So, that tracks. That makes sense. Because I was never
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: fucking with it. Sorry if you're from Queens. Sorry to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that Queens, but no.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know anyone from Astoria that's still in Astoria though.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: So like every, yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It's a place where you go. Uh-huh, moving along. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: just want to say too, I'm from Brooklyn.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I know you said I'm from New York, but Brooklyn
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: is a distinct identity.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And so I'm allowed to shit on the other boroughs.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you because you're not a New Yorker.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Listen, I lived there for a little while. Okay. Okay,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and I lived in Bushwick. Bedwick. I lived in Bedwick.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They was calling it Bedwick. And so I was getting
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: my lights turned on and they were like, oh, what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: area are you in? Because this man was like really
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: chopping it up with me. He's like, yeah, we gonna
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: get your shit put on. We gonna get your shit
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: put on. When you free? And I was like, this
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is the most casual con every single phone call I've
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: ever had. He's like, where you move from? Oh, that's crazy.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. I bet. Yeah, yeah. What you doing out here?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I'm in Bedwick. You know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I'm an actor. And he was like, fuck is Bedwick? Exactly. Exactly.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He said, you mean Bed-Stuy? Bed-Stuy do or die? And
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay. Good to know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Guess I won't be skipping around here. No, but you did.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You didn't die. So you did. I didn't die. I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: did it. I did it. I dude. I didn't die.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Love that for me.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But so, yeah, Jacob Astor was slapping his name all
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: over everything. And I love Astor and then turning it
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: into Astoria.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It's giving like, you know when men want to name
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: their daughters after them? Yeah. Uh-huh. Jacobia.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: They give it a little feminine flair. Just a little
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: feminine flair at the end.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Like, we won't notice.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Also, if you are listening to this, please comment if
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: you have a dad name. Because I want to know
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: more dad names. I find them very fun. So, Stephen, who, remember,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: he was the one who, he was a fur trader.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: He was the one who renamed it Astoria in 1939.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: He was trying to manipulate John Astor into investing into
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the area. The plan only kind of worked.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And Astor invested a token $ 500, which would be about.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Like $ 17, 000 in today's money. He never even visited. But see,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Jon Astor didn't even go to Queens. He's like, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: know his name after me, but I'm good.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm not going. You ain't even going to cut
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: me off. What kind of a Debbie dad is that? Like,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to name you Junior, but I'm never going
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to visit you. Never going to visit you. Never went
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to a football game. Wasn't at your graduation. Best of
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: luck to you. Best of luck to you, Junior. Hope
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: my name's enough.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So, it was enough to get Astoria off the ground
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and running into what would become a thriving neighborhood known
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: for movie production and large immigrant communities from Greece, Egypt, Ecuador, Korea, Colombia, Brazil,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and Bangladesh.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Never take me to Bangladesh. Sorry, that is a stem.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So, It's also known for red brick Tudor buildings and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: walk-up apartments with a pretty predictable old-world New York look
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to them. So this Candyland house stands out. Like we
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: were saying before, the house next to it giving war.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: This is not. So this house is a six-bedroom, four-bathroom property.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about floor-to-ceiling windows, hand-selected chandeliers, which, yeah,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we know those were hand-selected. Whose hands selected that? Like,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: whose hands? So many questions. Listen, Willy Wonka.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: These chandeliers also double as sculpted art and bold floral
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: themed finishes that either look like Eternal Spring, if you're
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a listing agent, or like a Clown Had a Manic episode.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Just kind of depending on your perspective. I feel like
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: my perspective is Eternal Spring. And you are definitely saying
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Clown Had a Manic episode. I'm definitely Clown Had a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Manic episode. And that's okay. We don't always have to agree.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: There's a fake pink tree and skittle-colored leather sofas off
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the kitchen. It also doesn't appear to have air conditioning
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: because there's a standing fan in every picture in every
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: room in the real estate listing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So I do see like a wall unit, but what's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: pissing me off is that if you're going to spend
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: this much time decorating the place, why not install a ceiling?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Or at least like those, you know, those ones. The
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: split unit? Yeah. But it's got the OG joint that
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you got to lift up the window and push it down.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: The window unit. Yep. I feel like that's really cutting
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the corner for no reason.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's crazy that that's the part that's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: got you caught up.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It's the AC in the thing. You know how hot
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: it is?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: You have bypassed. Is that like plastic? That's all actual
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: plastic covered couch, bro.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: That is like, that's like cellophane on there. Yeah, just
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: like grandma used to make.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And you bypass that to talk about the AC that
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: is 3,500 BTUs.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Like, it works. Yeah, but it takes much longer to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: cool the room down. Girl. The room shouldn't be white.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It is reflecting.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Do you think about this? Think about the fact that it's...
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Now you get me mad because I wasn't upset before.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: But the more I look, if it's floor-to-ceiling windows, it's
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: because you want to optimize sunlight. Then everything is stark white.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: The ceilings, the walls, and the floor. Which means that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: it's bouncing and reflecting light.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So you're basically... frying in there. Yeah. You mad about
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the AC? More AC. See how we agreed? We came together.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: We circled around and we agreed. How am I going
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to sit on that plastic couch and not get stuck
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: if we don't have a lot of AC? You don't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: sit on the couch. That's the whole thing. You don't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: come over. This is crazy. So this is on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: market right now? Yes. So the house made it to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Zillow Gone Wild when it was listed in August for
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: $ 3 million. This is never going to happen. Which is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: down now to $ 2. 5 million. Because you know the market's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: really wild to sell any home, right? I don't know
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: why I'm getting angry. This is really working me up. Scams!
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, The Cellars, it's owned by Jasmine Bukhari.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: She and her husband, Roshan, are well-known in Queens, in
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the Bangladeshi community, for their flashy lifestyle and being big
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: real estate portfolio moguls.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: According to the public record, they bought the building in 1999,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: gut-renovated it, and in 2017, they then transformed it into
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: its current fantastical state. So they were really partying like
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: it was 1999. Rashid Khan isn't technically an owner of
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the house, which is convenient because he recently pled guilty
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: to wire fraud after scamming fellow Bangladeshi Americans out of
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: more than $ 1 million.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors say he took advantage of the community ties and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: that the most colorful home may have been one of
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the things the stolen money paid for. So we saw
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: his wife waving like, it's for sale. But it's like,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you're not saying why it's for sale, girl. You're not
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: saying how it got for sale. So this was their
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: real estate investment scheme.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even make any sense because real estate 101
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: is you never want the nicest house on the ugliest block.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So you have a house that's $ 3 million, but all
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: of the other neighboring houses are not going for that. Yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Who's buying that? There's no, like, that makes absolutely no sense.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It's dumb.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: That's how you know he's scamming. That's not even a
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: style in real estate.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Who's buying that? Exactly. I'm going to put in an offer.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: And Rashidun approached another. You're going to put in an offer? See, Kiera,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you're falling in love with it. You're falling in love
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: with it. I knew I would get you. So Rashidun,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: this is like the real estate investment scheme. Rashidon approached
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: another real estate investor in the same community. This guy's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: name was Aslam, and this was in 2015. And so
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Rashidon said that he had a great deal on a
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: $ 4 million auction property in the Long Island City area.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Rashidon pitched the idea that they split a $ 200, 000 down
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: payment and ownership evenly. Aslan's family knew Rashidun's family in Bangladesh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: so he felt a sense of trust and agreed to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the deal. Rashidun told him to keep quiet about the deal,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: otherwise they would get outbid at the auction. Red flag
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: number one. Because why we got to be quiet about it?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Anything somebody's asked you to be quiet about, tell. Right,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: especially if they want your money for it. You should
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: tell everyone.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want to buy things and then people be like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: be quiet about it, though. I feel like the only
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: things that I buy that... I would be quiet about it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, drugs? I'm not even quiet about that
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: because who are you going to do the drugs with?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: You got to know. How are you going to know
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: if you also do drugs if you don't mention, hang on,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I have some drugs.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: It's just like you're buying them from the drug man.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Drug man not giving you a receipt, like guaranteed. Although
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I will say in New York when it wasn't legal,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: there was like a weed company that would deliver weed.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And I remember it was Pride. They would deliver weed
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: on backpacks and it was Pride one year. We might
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: have went to the same delivery and you went through
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the app and it was, I'm not blowing up anybody,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: but I know, and they would come and they would
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: have their backpacks.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Yep, they would have their.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Backpacks, but they got too busy on Pride and so
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: they didn't make it with my delivery. And so I
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: was like, I've been working with.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Y'all for years. I've been a loyal weed customer. Wait,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: you tried to complain? I did. Through the app? And
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: why didn't you give me a little discount? They did.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: They did. I was like, this is great customer service.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: They had amazing customer service. They really did. I hope
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: they're still in business. I know. Now legit. Shout out
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, or maybe not legit so you don't
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: have to pay the taxes. Y'all have a great formula. Right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: You know, keep... Pass the savings down to the customer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So over the next few.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Years, Aslam gave Rashidan almost a million dollars to make
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: similar purchases. And Rashidan kept saying the actual closing dates
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: for the properties were getting delayed. When Aslam's lawyers finally
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: got involved, they could tell that the deals never existed.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: The properties hadn't been purchased and the sales documents were forged.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: So for a year, Aslam trusted Rashidan because their families
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: knew each other in Bangladesh. So it was like, we're
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: all sticking together in America for a year. He didn't
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: question it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Aslam, I want to be on your side, but babes,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: why we get to the $ 1 million point? I feel
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: like at the $ 200, 000.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. At the don't tell. Mm-hmm.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: The whole beginning, I don't know what this means. I just,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I can't relate. I don't understand. Like, you have to
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: do your due diligence. I'm not giving some random person money.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: But they said the sales documents were forged.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yes. So he was producing documents. Mm-hmm.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And, like, I can understand the cultural aspect here because
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of immigrant communities really do.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Stick to each other. You know what I mean? They
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: buy from each other. They set up stores in their
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: own neighborhoods. That's why we have so many immigrant community neighborhoods. Obviously,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in New York, there's tons of them. In L.A. as well,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: So there is a little Bangladesh in L.A. You know,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: there is, like, there's all these communities. You know, you
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: got a little Puerto Rico in New York. You have
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: all these places where they've all settled down together. So
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I can understand the trust there. Now, I don't know
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: if I'm trusting 200,000 on a low note. Yeah, I
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: don't care because the thing about it is, see, because
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: in Bangladesh, there are people who don't trust each other.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So y'all not going to come here and all of
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: a sudden be upstanding citizens.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's like, I get it, but I'm still not going to,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not just going to blindly trust you.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: We do have a saying, all skin folk ain't kinfolk. Exactly. Exactly. Mm-hmm. Yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you're right. That is a newer saying, though.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I feel like that came out post-2016 when we were, oh,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: everybody was black in BLM.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And they were like, maybe all black lives don't matter. Right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Right. We were like, huh.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I get why Harriet Tubman shot some of y'all. I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: always say that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Some of y'all couldn't make it. She kept a gun
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: for a reason.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Okay?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Also, people don't talk about this a lot, but, you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the Black Panther movement, it's always been, like, kind of
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: washed in the sense of, like, and this is also
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: with our history and the whitewashing of our history, but
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: you think, like, you know, Martin Luther King did the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: marches and the 5Ks and everybody was together for the boycotts.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: They weren't all together.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: There were Black people trying to get on the bus,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: and the Black Panthers would snatch their asses off.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And beat them up and tell them to walk. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 100%.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: We weren't all for the cause. Nope. It's... Kind of
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the same way today. It is. There's always people crossing
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the picket line. Truly. Mm-hmm.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: You have to be online talking about purchases that we
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: were like, you're not supposed to be over there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Like, at least if you're going to go over there,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: don't tell nobody. Mm-hmm. Like, what you doing? Now, that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you keep a secret.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: So you don't keep a secret if somebody's like, hey,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: there's some money in here for you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Don't tell nobody. Right. But if you crossing the picket
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: line and you know you're not supposed to be. Don't
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: tell nobody. Don't tell nobody. Right. Because next time we
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: see you online honking the shit. This is what I'm saying.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: It's not the time to do a Target haul. It's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: not the time. Don't tell nobody.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: But Target sponsored the show.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: So Aslam filed a civil lawsuit in 2021. A year later,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Rashidun was indicted.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Rashidun had done the same thing to at least nine
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: other neighbors in his community. A mother and a daughter
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: who for a long time lived together in a basement apartment.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: They gave him $ 191, 000 after he promised to help them
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: buy a modest two-family home in Jamaica, Queens. Now, I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: know that Rashidun has this reputation of being a real
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: estate mogul. Mm-hmm. There are just like realtors in New York. Now,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: is real estate in New York shady as hell? Absolutely.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: So I can kind of understand wanting to stay within
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: your own community or at least keep the money circulating
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: in your own community.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That's why we're always like, buy black. Or if it's
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: black owned, I'm like, okay, let me look at it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: And that's where we're going to keep quiet about. Mm-hmm.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: It's amazing water. Oh, yeah. I got Diet Coke in here.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: This is L.A. 's tap's finest.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but so they were trying to get a home
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: and get up out of their basement apartment. And they'd
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: given him $ 191, 000. The house never materialized. And Rashidun blamed
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: COVID delays in the paperwork. But when the women found
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Aslam's lawsuit against Rashidun online in 2021, they knew the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: same thing had happened to them. Like, what are all
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: these delays? And also.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Why are you.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Giving anybody $ 191, 000, $ 200, 000 and not going with them?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, I'm not giving the check directly to you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I want to be in. You better hire some actors
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: off Craigslist or something and make this real. You better
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: be in a boardroom. You better give me some selling sunset.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I want to see Christine and some heels with her
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: titties out, you know, touring the States. Yep. And, like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: who did they make the check out to? Was it Rashida? Yes. Like,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: his name is on the check?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Red flag numero uno. But he's preying on people who
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: don't know anybody. And that's the only way. He's also
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: new to this country.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So he's telling them, this is how America works.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And I can also understand that, too, because I recently
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: watched Real Housewives of Dubai because I.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Was just curious. I was like, what the? Because there
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: were so many black women on that show. And I
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: was like, what are we doing over there? I hate Dubai.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It's the worst place in the world. I always describe
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it as a city made by rappers. And also it's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: like it depends on slave labor so much. So many slaves. Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: They take your passport and you can't go nowhere. Yeah. No.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: It's bad. Don't get me started. And it's like very,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: very rich people and then very, very poor people. And
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: no one in between. No one in between. And if
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you look at the aesthetic... Like, the buildings and everything.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So dear. It's so gaudy.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: And it's like, why you got to have the biggest everything?
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: And it just seems so contrived. Like, of course I
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: could have the world's biggest mall if I'm going to
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: put the world's.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Biggest swimming pool inside of it and the world's museum.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You don't need all of this. It's just... Like, where's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the nature? Why are y'all paying millions of dollars for
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a driver's plate? Like, a driver's license. Like, the actual plate.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: So if you want.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So apparently the lower the number of your plate, the
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: more money you have. So if you got plate number one,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: you the richest motherfucking Dubai. Oh, no.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's crazy.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: But you would pay for that kind of weird status.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: This is like people who have too much money and
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: not enough to do with it. But over there, you
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: can't purchase property without like living there for a certain
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: amount of time or having like there's certain like things.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of countries like that, too. There's a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: lot of brokerage. You can't just own property. I wish
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: we were like that. America's for sale, baby. We like you.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Come on. Anybody can come. Yep. It's true. Take all
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: our industry away.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: That's why we don't make anything anymore. And then everybody's like, well,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: what are we going to do as a country? And
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: it's like, we let everybody take everything from us, which, honestly,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: kind of poetic.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, not going to lie. It's karma swift. Right.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like being in it. I wish
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't in it. But here we are.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I can understand what they're doing. I'm not
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: trying to victim blame here. I'm definitely not laughing at
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the victims at all. I really feel bad for these
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: people just trying to get a home. But I'm also like,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: come on, in the future, everybody, if you're listening to
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: this and you're in an immigrant community, I don't care
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: if there's a real estate mogul in your neighborhood. Like
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: you better be going everywhere with him and you better
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: not give any money to anybody other than the person
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: that you're purchasing a home from.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That's how real estate works. They're supposed to get a percentage.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: They're never supposed to get money from you. Right.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: You don't pay anybody directly. You also do look him up.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Like I would have wanted to know what his own
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: real estate portfolio was and what does that look like?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: So I would have went to Acris and pulled, I
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what, if they have, I don't, I think
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: it's a New York thing. And so any dude I'm
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: fucking with who like I own a house, I'm like,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Let me put the name in. I'm looking at the deeds.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I'm looking to see if you actually bought it. I'm
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: looking to just, I need to understand the paperwork because
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the math needs to match.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Because unless you buy it in a trust, it's public record. Right,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: unless it's a trust. Mm-hmm.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people make that mistake who are
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: public figures and buy things in their names and don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: realize then, you know, TMZ is driving past your house.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: And that's where, like, I've been with friends who work
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: in TV and, like, been at their house and the
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: TMZ truck is driving past us, like, and that's where
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: she lives. I'm like, okay, you need to sell this one.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: You got to put it in an LLC or some
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: other name, but, yeah. Yeah, your lawyer's name, something, not yours.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: But that's the lesson that people have to learn sometimes.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Part of me wonders if there is like a flex
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: aspect to this, because Rashidun is known as this real
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: estate mogul, but he hasn't really produced any real estate
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: for these nine parties that have invested with him. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if these people are also, you know, like
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: at the Bangladesh function, they're gahlud and they're like, oh,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: you know, I just invested with Rashidun too. We gave
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: him $ 200, 000. We gave him $ 191, 000. I'm up to a million,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: you know, like. like they want to flex on other
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: people in the community oh because also having this much
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: disposable income on you is kind of crazy well see
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I don't I just have so many more questions like
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: For that family and the daughter in the basement, was
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: the $ 191, 000 given at one time or is it like
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: over time?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Like he keeps asking for more money for this and
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: for that and he's just siphoning it from them.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think that's.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Definitely probably what happened just because of Aslam's situation where
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: he started with.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: $ 200, 000 and it ended up being a million. One million, right. Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: And that's also a good strategy, too, to get people
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: out to part with their money. It's like, oh, there's
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the other fees and now we got licensing and, you know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: he's just making up American stuff.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: That's not real. They always move the goalposts.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Because if he wants to ask Aslam for a million
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: dollars off RIP, he's like, no, I'm not giving you
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: a million or I need to seal these paperwork.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: If it's just a small amount, then I can slowly...
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: 50K here. Like, oh, we got to get it up
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: to code. That's going to be another 30K. Like, this
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: is how it works in America.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: He's a grifter.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: And I would believe him when he told me this
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: is how it works in America because we are the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: land of the scams.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So... I'm sure it does in some facets. You know
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: You could be in a place, like, making money, and
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: the next thing you know, the city councilman comes to
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: shake you down.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: The way you said that was, like, it happened to you. Like,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: there was a little bit of, like, you knew that
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: on an intimate level. Like, do you want these permits?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Trying to film this podcast? Or not. Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: So the house never materialized, right? And Rashad, or Rashidun,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: he blames COVID and all of this stuff. Prosecutors say
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Rashidun used the stolen money to pay off mortgages, personal expenses,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and to buy an apartment in Woodside in his wife
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Jasmine's name.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Jasmine of the Jasmine House. Mm-hmm. So, different pockets in
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the same pair of pants.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Rushy Dunn and Jasmine bought, sold, and transferred at least
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: six properties across Queens over the past two decades, often
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: within their family and sometimes for no money at all.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They included, like, the.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Colorful Astoria house that we saw and another multifamily building
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: in Jamaica, Queens that Jasmine is currently selling for $ 2.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: 599 million. Jasmine, why are you not in jail, too? Right.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Why are you giving tours on Corcoran's TikTok? Right. But
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: also at the same time, I love a woman getting
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: away with a scam. Yeah, see your husband in jail.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Put a little money out of his books. She got
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: possible deniability. I had no idea that's what he was doing.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. He the man. He bring home
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the money. He told me to sign the paperwork. I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: So public records show that homes were passed between Jasmine,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: her sister-in-law, Jabui. Why is everybody in this?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: The whole family. Jubaida.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: And Tanny Fashion, which is a corporation the married couple used,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: especially for real estate transactions. I'm sorry, I'm not doing
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: no transaction with nothing called Tanny Fashion.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Right. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I don't know about Tanny.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: It's the fashion that really threw me. If you fashion,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: why are we doing real estate? Why are we doing
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: real estate? Sounds like you've got your scams mixed up. Right.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: So the sister-in-law first purchased the Jamaica property in 2008,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: then transferred ownership to Jasmine a day later for $ 0.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: You see? Skimming laundering. Right. Five years later, Jasmine sold
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the building to Tani Fashion for $ 660, 000, then transferred ownership
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: back to herself in 2017 for $ 0. So there's also
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: some tax evasion happening here. Rashida bought the Astoria house
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: in 1999 and then transferred the ownership to Jasmine, who
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: sold it to the sister-in-law in 2008 for $ 805, 000.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Five days after that, the sister-in-law transferred the ownership back
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: to Jasmine. They reversed the process in 2014 and then
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: again in April 2025. According to public records, no money
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: ever changed hands. They just kept buying properties and transferring
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: them and buying them and transferring them to the cousin,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: to the homie, tiny fashion, back to Jasmine. So a
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: forensic accountant described moving property ownership around this way like
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: using different pockets in the same pair of pants. which
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: helps obscure who actually owns things. So it's like, oh,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: does Jasmine own it?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. Actually, Tani owns it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Actually, Tani sold it back to Rashida the other day,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: so we don't know who.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: So now you can't even track who owns the property.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: The wheels in my head are turning. Same.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So the Bangladeshi community in Queens, more than 100,000 people
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: from Bangladesh live in New York City, with many concentrated
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: in the Jamaica and Ozone Park neighborhoods in Queens. Of
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the people Rashidun scammed, some can't afford lawyers. Others are
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: embarrassed that they lost their life savings, and many just
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: don't want to approach law enforcement at all right now because,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: you know, according to experts, the current fear of immigration
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: and customs enforcement, ICE, is making scams in immigrant communities
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: more powerful.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: That's so fucked up.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: So now immigrants are, like, scared that they're going to
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: get deported if they call the cops, which, I mean,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the cops... I get scared if I have to call.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I don't call the cops if I have to. If
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: somebody's dying or there's an accident on the street or
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: something like that, I don't do the bystander effect. I'll
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: call or whatever. But call them to come to me.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I've had that done before. If you've read my book
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and they definitely turned on me and I.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Was like, I called you. All the time. All the time. Yes.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: So I understand them not calling the police. So fear
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: of ICE was keeping people silent. And so was embarrassment,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: which we always say on the show, it's not as
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: There's no shame in being scammed. We can all be scammed.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: We all have a vulnerability. Somebody could definitely get me.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Somebody's definitely got me.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Here we are. So even if.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: They were legal and naturalized or naturalized American citizens from
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: immigrant families and they're here, they've done nothing wrong. They
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: still don't want to call the police because we know
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: that ICE is deporting anybody brown.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: If you around and brown, we take you downtown.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's what they're saying, actually. I think that's the motto.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's it. That's what they teach you at
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the academy. If you're around and brown.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you see them and they're around and they're brown,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: take them downtown. Take them downtown. Which is fucked.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: So they still have properties listed for sale. Both the
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Astoria and the Jamaica properties in Jasmine's name are still
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: for sale today, but they are under a $ 1. 5 million
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: lien that was placed by the U.S. Attorney's Office. Equal
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: to the restitution, Rashidun was ordered to pay to his victims.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: If they do sell, he may be forced to pay
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: people back. But for now, because Jasmine legally owns the
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Astoria and Jamaica houses, she's not under any obligation to
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: pay her husband's legal penalties. So now, now we circle
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: back to why they don't, like, selling it to you,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: buying it from you, giving it to me for zero dollars. Tanning, fashion,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Rashida, Jasmine. This is all so they could
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: avoid liability, traceability, and now restitution.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Which is wild. They are so trifling. Wow.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: So the asking price for the most colorful house in
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Queens was reduced to $ 2.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: 5 million in September. Rashidon is scheduled to be released
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: from prison in 2028. Wow. I just feel like... And
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: tell me what you think about this first. This scam.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: It kind of feels like it worked a little bit.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he got the money, right? It feels like
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: it worked. Yeah, he had to do a bid. But
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: his wife is out. His wife is, yeah. And also,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: does it seem like he was in jail for that long?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: No.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Like, if he's going to be home in 2028, they're
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: selling all this property. Jasmine's on TikTok selling the stuff. Like,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: they can get money from this. And when he comes out,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: they're going to be up again. And they can just
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: move to the next community and do it again. Yeah,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I wonder where they live now. Because I feel like
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: they can't live in the same Queens community. They've got
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to be social pariahs, right?
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Who knows, honestly.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, sometimes, too, in, like, these immigrant communities,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: they protect people who.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Are, like, predators in other ways. Yeah, that's true. And
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: so I just think there's— I feel like every community
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: does that. Every community does.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: So I think that— I think that, who knows? It might
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: be a culture of we don't talk about it, that
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: we whisper and we might be fake polite, but we're
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: not— I don't know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: And it feels like these people have a lot of audacity.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: So and even in the descriptors of some of the
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: victims saying that they didn't want to call the police,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: whether it be for ice, whether it be for the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: shame that they got scammed or maybe just like socially
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: not wanting to be, you know, maybe not wanting to
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: reveal that you've given your finances away.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: And so now people know you're broke. Yeah. You got
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: a good point there.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is one of the scams that kind
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: of turns my stomach a little bit because I don't
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: feel like justice was served. He's not serving enough time
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in jail. And these people will probably never get their
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: money back. And that's the big thing with these scams.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: It's like there are actual victims and they may never,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: ever get... They may never get their money back, which
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: is crazy. Because like you were saying before... with the
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: fake celebrity apology, what does that actually do for us? Like,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Rashida going to jail doesn't give me my money back.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: That's why they should have restorative justice. That's why Rashida...
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: The family should be like, you still here? Here's how
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: you work it off. I need my back scratched. Every
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: night I need my lawn tilled. Like, you got to
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: work this off. You working my laundromat now, Rashida. Now
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: it's indentured servitude.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: No shade.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: But, like, we talking about the slaves in Dubai, which
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: is crazy that they're taking people's passports. But that shit
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: should be relegated to people who have debts to serve
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: and who have restitutions to pay and they're never going
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: to make their victims whole.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Like, my family owns you now, Rashida. Rashida. Jasmine, y'all
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: better write these jokes. You can't give white people no
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: ideas because now they're going to be for restorative justice.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I believe in restorative justice. They're already putting us in
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: prison and making us slaves. We'd just be outside slaves.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: You know this would immediately become something terrible. Yeah, but
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I think restorative justice is actually truly rehabilitative. Yes, if
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it was done correctly. If it was done, we don't
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: do anything right. But we know that in this country,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: everything is bastardized immediately. Because, no, restorative justice in its
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: essence and in itself, when it's executed with checks and
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: balances and oversight, is absolutely what should be done. Like,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: making people slaves in prison and then, like, institutionalizing them. Yeah,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: why they gotta be slaves in the prison? Make them
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: be a slave in the lady basement. who she stole
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: with the daughter, and then make him work off his
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: debt to those families.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Or, like, at least he needs to be working a
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: job where, you know, he has room and board, but
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: then everything else that he makes.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Goes to the families. No, you don't get room and board.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: That's a luxury. He gotta sleep and eat somewhere so
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: he can go to the job. He don't have to.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I know housing is a human right, but scamming is not.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: So sorry. How he gonna get to work if he...
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Figure it out, bro.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: You got seven chandeliers. You got plastic-covered couches. Grab one
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: of them shits.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You need to sell everything in there. Also, I
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: don't know if these houses are ever gonna sell. They're hideous.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: And like you said, the refraction of the light, like,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: it's gonna keep that place hot. It's the worst thing
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen. There was not enough AC in there
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: to keep it cool. You know it's crazy in there.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Nobody's buying that house. Also, 2.5 million in Queens? Mm-hmm. Babes.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: That's a house in L.A. We are in L.A., though.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: So much of real estate is location, to be honest.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I know, but that's what I'm saying. So location-wise, the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: story of it all is like, Babes, what are we
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: talking about? What are we talking about? I know if
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: you're from Queens, you're going to beat my ass after
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: this episode. I am so sorry. Come after Lacey directly. No,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: this was Carrie. I love everyone in Queens. Carrie was
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: hating on Queens. You are a queen.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I love Astoria and all the famous people from Queens.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: But I don't know any famous people from Astoria. There
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: are a lot of famous people from Queens. Nicki Minaj
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: is from Queens. Nas is from Queens.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: You got to name a good one. 50 Cent is
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: from Queens. LL Cool J is from Queens. LL Cool J!
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I only know musicians. I love LL Cool J. LL
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Cool J is from Queens and we love him. He
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: done done some stuff. Oh yeah, he has done some stuff.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: It's so hard. He's from Queens. Everyone from Queens has
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: done stuff. Yeah, but LL Cool J is great. We
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: love LL Cool J. And I love him. Yeah, ladies
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: love Queens. We got to find some more Queens people.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I'll think about it.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Y'all list some famous Queens people along with y'all's daddy's
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: names in the comments because we need to know.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Now, before I let you go, Carrie, I need to
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: talk to you about something. Something that happened on an
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: airplane not too long ago. There was a woman going
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: on a bachelorette party, going to enjoy her life. Oh. Oh,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Yes. But this woman is excited to go on her
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: bachelorette party. And you know when you are walking to the,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: what is it called?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: The gate. Yeah. So before you go to the gate.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: We fly. We travel. It's called the gate. Yeah, the gate.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Before you get on the jet bridge, you know, there
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: is a check-in. Again, so you have to scan your
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: boarding pass. Or if it's international, you have to scan
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: your boarding pass and show your passport. Or they, you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: have the scary technology where they look at your face.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Whatever the case may be. This woman, she's excited about
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: her bachelor trip.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: She puts her wallet down for a second, probably to
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: pull out her ID or, you know, grab her boarding pass.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And then she heads down the jet bridge. And then
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: she realizes, oh, my gosh, I left my wallet somewhere.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: So she's checking all over the plane. She's checking her purse. Like,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: there's enough time where she's boarding.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: That's how I know she was excited because I board
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: planes like I'm Michelle Obama. Like, I want to walk
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: on the tarmac and get on the plane. I'm going
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: to be late as hell.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: You're the last one. I've been the last one on
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the plane so many times. Yeah. I didn't hold it up.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, they was going to leave without me. Do
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I got a little bead of sweat on me when
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I get down?
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: You're hilarious. Yes. Have I gotten in a golf cart
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: many times in the airport? It was like straight away.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I always go on first because they go, do you
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: need more time? And yes, I always need more time. No,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: I go on first and they still don't do that.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: All it means is that I'm going to miss the
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: champagne serving.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, sometimes I get bummed about that because
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I didn't get my shanty. I now
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: got to wait until we're in the air. I got
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to wait 35,000 feet.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, she's looking and I guess there's enough time
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: for her to get off of the plane and look
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: outside of the plane.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: She's like, I know I have my wallet because I
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: pulled my ID out of my wallet.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: To get on this flight. So she goes back to
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the counter and there's no wallet to be found. Then
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: she's like, huh, well, it has to be on the
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: plane because there's nowhere else it could be. And I
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: looked through all my things and it's not there. So
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: she tells the flight attendants, hey, I don't know where
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: my wallet is. And there was a lovely woman on.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: The flight who was like, hey, did your wallet look like, was.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: It like a long, thin Louis Vuitton wallet? And she
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that was my wallet. And she said, okay,
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I saw someone pick it up. She said it was
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: a woman with dark curly hair and she was white.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: She was wearing chunky black Converse. Like she described her like-
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: The whole description, wow. I was like, girl, you need
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: to be like, Like, I've always thought whenever I watch
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Law & Order SVU, when they give the description of
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the criminal, I'm like, I can barely remember, like, the
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: things that, like, where my car is parked in a
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: parking garage when I go to the mall.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: How are you remembering a full description of somebody? You
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: got to stay woke, Lacey. I know. I've been trying
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: to be more alert. We gotta talk about it. I'll
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: be looking right and left. I'll be trying.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Keep your head on a swivel.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: It hurts. My neck is stabbed. Scams!
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm also wondering, like, the logistics. So you stole
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: the wallet. You took the cash out. You put the
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: cash someplace else. Then put the wallet into your carry-on. Like,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I'm also just so confused. Because the wallet is worth
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: money as well. Because it's a designer wallet.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: So I think she was like, I already got my
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: own wallet. But this designer one, I'm going to put
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: this on Poshmark later. So I'm just going to throw
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: this in my bag. So many steps she had to
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: go through. Yeah.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: So she took the cash out.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: And so she must have been fiddling around doing this
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: while the commotion was going on.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not on the plane. We were not boarding.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: What's going on? I feel like we were on the plane.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: We were not on Frontier. I don't know, we were
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: not on Frontier, but, you know, we were there in spirit.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Not on Spirit either. We were also not on Spirit.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: We were not.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Listen, I don't read classes. I tried to take Spirit
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: back in the day. When I say tried, it's because
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: they would pull off like a Greyhound bus sometimes. They
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: would leave early. They just shout your name, and if
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: you weren't there, they was like... No, Spirit was reliable
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: back in the day. I had a little booth thing
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. I used to go back and forth all
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: the time. And Spirit always landed safely, okay? Can't say
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: that about Frontier. Can't say that about America. Can't say
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: that about Delta.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: But Spirit, you would get... You would land. You would
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: get there.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: That was their brand. You gon' land, okay? Anything in between,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: we don't know. But you go ahead. What also struck me, too,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: is that when they were like, oh, there's money in
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: the wallet, she was also being hesitant about giving the
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: money back.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Like, the privilege that she had through this whole experience. Like,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: we talk about robbery. It's in the theme song of
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: this show. And I haven't talked about a robbery in
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: a while. But this is the stupidest fucking robbery I've
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: seen in a long time. Why are you robbing someone
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: at the airport?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: With a T and an S in the air? She
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: almost got away with it, though. She almost got away
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Did she?
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: If somebody didn't give her that description, like, she, like,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: and then, yeah, she, I mean. And she's also lucky
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: that this black woman, because I watched this and I
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: was infuriated.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: She got the right black.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: But she got a black woman who was so composed
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: and so nice and so sweet that everybody.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Was like, we got to help this baby. You know,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: because I feel like if the black woman had been angry,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: even though she would have rightfully so, like, rightfully to
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: be angry, right? Mm-hmm.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: They would have been like, oh, she's aggressive. And that's
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: what that white woman was hoping for. She was hoping
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: for her to get angry.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I also watched another black woman who was sitting
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: in the first row, the one with the red curly hair.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: She hopped up out of her seat and careened over
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: the corner and was like, you need your ass beat.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: She's right. I said, not the other passengers trying to
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: whoop ass for you. I wonder what happened to the lady.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: She got arrested. She got arrested. I hope so.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: And charges will be filed. But the thing is, is
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: like when you commit a crime and she's also on
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: the no fly list.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, OK. Yeah. So but my thing is, is in
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: the airport, if you commit a crime in an airport,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: it's no longer a misdemeanor. Right. It's a felony. Yep.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Why would you be doing felonies at the airport? This
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: is the wrong place to do robbery. It's the wrong place.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: It is the wrong place. Like, I would never do anything.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: When I go to the airport, I'm quiet. Like, I
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: walk my head straight.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Honestly, the airport, I don't even know if I want
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: to say this because y'all might try to try me,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: but if you tried me in the airport, you might.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Get away with it. You might get away with it.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Come over, you could trip me. I'd be like, oh,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I must have fell. Come over, do anything. I'd be like, oh.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm not getting on nobody's no-fly list. I'm not
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: being in nobody's TSA jail.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That is wild. So, yeah.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about this because I was just like,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: this is not a place to rob people. It's not
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a place to rob people. And she almost got away
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: with it. And I like that somebody was like, did
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: you check the wallet though? Like, because she was, she
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: was already back at the gate with the lady's thousand
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: dollars and a hundred bills in her pocket on her person.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Right. So crazy.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: And also maybe that's why that flight attendant to me
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: was really smart too, because he didn't hand her the wallet.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: He held onto the wallet because what if she said
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: like the, the bachelorette girl said.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, I had a thousand dollars in here. And she
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: had already taken it out of the wallet and hid
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: it and was lying about it. You know what I mean? No.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, so if the wallet was immediately returned
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: to the bachelorette girl, and then the bachelorette girl was like,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: I also had $ 1, 000 in here. Then it's like, we
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: wouldn't know if the bachelorette girl took the money. But
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: since the wallet was transferred to the TSA guy or
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: the flight attendant, she hadn't even touched her wallet yet.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: So if there was money missing... We know she didn't
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: take it. Got it. You get what I'm saying?
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Like, sometimes when people lose something and they put a
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: reward on it and they get it back, they might.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: That's your scammer brain working.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Because I would have never have thought that the lady
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: who just got her wallet back also just stole her
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: own money to them. Like, my mind went, okay, make
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: sure that you undercount this money. Like, that's what my
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: scammer mind meant. But see, that's still kind of the
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: same thing. It is, but the way that you did
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: it is diabolical. You took, like, the craziest route to
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: her scamming these people. They would have been like, check
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: the money, and I would have been like, 100, 200, 500?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. I had... This is short. I had $ 10, 000
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: in here. I had a million... I had rubles, bitch.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Where are my rubles? Where's the loose diamonds I had
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: in here? Exactly. I had a rare Egyptian... They're like, ma'am,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: you're on a frontier flight in the middle seat. Be serious. Right.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: That part, though. That's how they would have caught me.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: That's how they would have caught me. That's how they
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: would have caught me. Yeah, but like.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Also, just the audacity of this woman and the reluctance
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: throughout the entire process, that would have got me heated.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I think she handled it pretty well, though. No, I
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: mean the thief. This is what.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: I think the thief handled it well. She said, no,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't have it. They're like, we're going to check
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: the camera.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: She said... she didn't say anything. A bitch like me,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: if I had stolen it, I'd have been like, this
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: is racism. I would have caused, I'd have been so wrong,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: but I would have caused such a scene. So I
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: think she handled it very well.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't like the nuisance of it all because she
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: had an opportunity to not do this because the black
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: girl came up to her first and said, someone said
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: you took my wallet. And I would have been like,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: The jig is up at that point. I would have
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: been like, oh my gosh, yes I did. And I
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: have it for you right here. I was going to
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: ask on the plane. You know, I was trying to
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: be a good Samaritan. I'm trying to get out of this.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: If you get caught in a lie, the rule is
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: to keep lying. That is me lying. I'm being like,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: I found a wallet and I thought somebody would need it. Oh,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad I caught you.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Here you go. And I'll turn to the corner real
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: quick with the money back. Here you go. Have a
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: great Bachelorette. You just took the money out to keep
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: it safe from the thief. Yeah. Like, I took it out. Yeah.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: That's all. Okay.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Then I'm like, sit on down, Bachelorette. You have a
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: good time. You get you one of those little airplane
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: gray gooses on me, okay? You know what's hilarious? I'm
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: not getting a kick about the flight.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: We have the same philosophy, but different ways of going
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: about it. Like, every time, you're like, I would have lied,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: but your lie is a different lie than my lie.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: No, we're still lying. Yeah, we're still lying. I'm going
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: to double down. Yeah. We can't tell the truth. No,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: you can't. That's not going to help. You can't.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I learned that early as a kid. Like, if you
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: get caught lying, you don't get points for then being.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Honest about lying. You really don't. Now you're just a liar.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: So just don't lie or lie. Okay? Lie. Lie. Believe
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: your own lie. You in it now. Delusional levels of lying. Right,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: because nobody's ever going to think like, oh, well, you're
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: so great for telling us the truth now. No, you
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: already lied. You a liar. So you might as well
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: keep lying. You got to keep lying. Yeah, yeah. We
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: on the same page. But I'm trying to tell the
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: lie that's going to keep me on the flight. I'm like, yeah.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I was looking for who this belonged to. I'm glad
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I got it back to you. You and your husband,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I hope y'all have great nuptials. Mm-hmm.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: I was actually going to have the flight attendant make
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: an announcement. Yeah, I was waiting for everybody to get planes.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: To get sweetie, because there was still more people coming on. Yeah,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: so I wanted to be a full announcement. And I
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: didn't know whose own it was going to be.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we need everybody seated on the plane before
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: the announcement happens, so then we can make sure we
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: get it to the right person. Exactly, I just wanted
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: to make sure.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: I was making sure that it landed safely at the
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: destination that we was all going to. I think she
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: would have got away with it, because I would have
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: just been like, you know, She.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Didn't even have no fight in her. She didn't. That's
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: what I didn't like about her. It's like, oh, you,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Is this racial?
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Do you think because you robbing a negress that it's
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: not worth your time to lie to me?
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Like, you just went, here, damn. And then close your
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: bin bag like you still going to fly?
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the closing of the bin was crazy. I would
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: have been like, here you go. And I would have
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: just put the cuffs on. I would have just handed
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: out my hand like, mm-hmm.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Just do it. Just take me on the purple walk.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: At least I'm going to give it back. I would have, right,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: taken my shit out. And then I would try to
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: walk off the plane like, I can't make this one. Like,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get the fuck ASAP. Like, maybe they
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: can't catch me. You ever fake be on the phone
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: too when you're an awkward moment?
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: You be like, hold on, guys. Sorry, you know. It's
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: my daughter. It's my daughter. Yeah, what's up, sweetheart? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: do something. Something. Fight back. I had just hated the
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: disdain that she had. Like, at least lie to me. Like,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: come on. Ugh. Ugh. It's terrible. Yes. Well, that brings
• 57:34
