Scam Goddess

Fresh off the LIVE Scam Goddess tour, Laci is joined by the fabulous drag icon Ginger Minj (Hocus Pocus 2, Stop! That! Train!). Together, they chat about Ginger’s love for Wawa, mourn the loss of Spirit Airlines, and dig into the monumental scams surrounding Mount Everest expeditions, from fake rescues and insurance fraud to dangerous labor disputes and growing tensions between wealthy climbers and the Sherpas who make their summits possible. So much high altitude drama! Stay schemin’!

CONgregation, we’re back this week LIVE from Cobbs Comedy Club, where Laci was joined by comedian, actor, and host Jacquis Neal (Grand Crew, Crowd Control). Laci invited fans to steal merch and books, and together they pondered whether flight vouchers for giving up your seat on an overbooked plane are actually worth it. They discussed TikTok Shop and asked the age-old question: Are fathers a scam? Finally, they dug into the scam empire of the iconic Tyra Banks and listened to listener letters live in person! Stay schemin’!
