  What's poppin', congregation? It's your girl, Lacey Mosley, a.k.a. Scam Goddess, back with another installment of the podcast all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it. Y'all already know I'm very, yes, I'm very excited, thrilled, elated. We have two women who sit in the front row of the congregation. They have the white gloves. They get to wear hats during service, okay? They will tell you to put your phone away and they always have mints in their purse in the church of scams, okay?

• 2:25Laci Mosley?

  They're hilarious actors, comedians. Together, they launched a new podcast called Mess, all caps, where every week they dive into the mess that is life on earth and try to make it make sense. Congregation, please welcome back to the show my friends Sydnee Washington and Marie Boston. Hi.

• 2:47Speaker 03

  Amen. God is good.

• 2:50Speaker 04

  White gloves unite. White gloves unite.

• 2:53Laci Mosley?

  Yes, programs are getting passed out, announcements are getting made.

• 2:58Speaker 03

  That is the best intro that I've ever gotten on a podcast, I think.

• 3:01Laci Mosley?

  Really? I feel like that one was a little shorter than what we normally do as two of you. And we already know, we know each other, so we already know the vibes, so we're trying to keep all the time.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  A long intro doesn't mean a good intro. That, you know, you gave us visuals, you gave us, you gave us a front row. We're in the VIP of the scam church.

• 3:19Laci Mosley?

  As you should be, as you should be.

• 3:21Speaker 04

  People know who we are and how important we are by the way you intro does, so that, that's greatly appreciated.

• 3:27Laci Mosley?

  Y'all are also the live show icons. Like, if you've ever been to a live show, you've seen one or both of them tear the house down. So, you know, it's always a thrill to have you both.

• 3:37Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We did the New York show with Punky and Alex English.

• 3:41Speaker 04

  Oh, my God, that was madness.

• 3:44Laci Mosley?

  Sidney was on the floor.

• 3:46Speaker 04

  That was madness.

• 3:48Speaker 03

  That was crazy. And then I did the show at the top of this year in San Francisco.

• 3:52Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 3:53Speaker 03

  Sketch Fest.

• 3:54Laci Mosley?

  Sketch Fest. Oh, my goodness. That was such a fun show. I'm so sorry y'all didn't get the five-year anniversary show. Um, I'm talking to the congregation, but also to us, like, I wanted y'all so bad. And then they were like, you gotta go to Ireland in five days. And I was like, okay. Yeah. I got some emails about that. They were like, is this a scam? Like, I already had my tea. I'm like, bro, you got refunded. I had to, they took my little black ass out of the country. Like, they were like, get up and leave right now. I was like, okay.

• 4:25Speaker 03

  I love it. I love a busy friend. I love that people are gonna see even more scam things. And I love, it's a black woman that is the new Barbara Walters, so, you know.

• 4:34Speaker 04

  And we needed that. And, you know, the audience can't see you right now, but the visuals of the hair, it's, it's very Barbara. It's very, I'm, I'm gonna ask you questions, and you gon', you don't know what's about to hit you.

• 4:47Laci Mosley?

  Okay, well, I hope I'm a little nicer than Barbara, cuz we gotta be for real. Like, she was out here ruining people's lives.

• 4:54Speaker 03

  Well, her, Diane Sawyer, there was somebody else.

• 4:57Laci Mosley?

  Oh, yeah. Diane Sawyer was number one mean girl. I will never forget that interview she did with Britney talking about, this woman says you need to be shot in the head for wearing those little outfits. And everybody agrees. What say you? And we're like, what?

• 5:10Speaker 03

  Was that the interview when Britney Spears was chewing gum the whole time?

• 5:13Laci Mosley?

  Not that one.

• 5:14Speaker 04

  No, no.

• 5:15Laci Mosley?

  She was under duress.

• 5:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, she definitely was asking her like sexual questions, like if she's a virgin and things of that. So, you know, and it's very, you have to, you know, you know, older people, they gonna say what they gonna say. They're, they're not running it by anybody. They're like, this is my.

• 5:30Laci Mosley?

  She wasn't older at the time.

• 5:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:32Laci Mosley?

  Are you sure?

• 5:33Speaker 03

  How old do you think she was? She was like thirty.

• 5:35Laci Mosley?

  She was in her thirties in that interview.

• 5:37Speaker 04

  Diane Sawyer always gave fifty-five, fifty-five.

• 5:40Speaker 03

  The blazer, the shoulder pads.

• 5:42Speaker 04

  It always gave fifty-five. It doesn't matter what age. It's like Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman has been sixty-five his whole.

• 5:50Laci Mosley?

  Well, he was old when he was a baby.

• 5:51Speaker 03

  Right. He was an old baby and he's now an old, old man.

• 5:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's also an old baby.

• 5:58Laci Mosley?

  Nobody's ever seen Morgan Freeman young. That's the scam is we don't know if he ever was.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  I wanna see a Morgan Freeman prom pic.

• 6:06Speaker 04

  I would like to see it too.

• 6:07Speaker 03

  You know, I wanna see what he looked like at his prom during the civil rights.

• 6:15Speaker 04

  I know that Morgan Freeman was on Lean on Me. He was in Lean on Me and he definitely gave forty-five, but wasn't he in his twenties?

• 6:24Speaker 03

  Shut up.

• 6:24Laci Mosley?

  No, stop. He was not in his twenties in Lean on Me.

• 6:27Speaker 04

  Somebody look it up.

• 6:29Laci Mosley?

  Scott, look at her. We need to know how old he was.

• 6:31Speaker 03

  He was not in his twenties in Lean on Me. I'm screaming.

• 6:34Speaker 04

  Somebody look it up.

• 6:35Laci Mosley?

  He was sixty-two in Lean on Me. I mean, you know how we talk about black people don't age? He just never aged past like sixty-five for a long time. He was fifty-two.

• 6:45Speaker 03

  He was born in nineteen.

• 6:47Laci Mosley?

  Fifty-two?

• 6:48Speaker 03

  Nineteen thirty-seven.

• 6:49Speaker 04

  In Lean, wait, what?

• 6:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, that makes sense. Sidney, twenty-six, girl.

• 6:54Speaker 04

  That's crazy. I was wrong. I, I definitely apologize. I know that Morgan listens to the pod.

• 7:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, he loves the pod.

• 7:02Speaker 04

  Sir, sir, ma'am, I'm sorry. I apologize.

• 7:08Speaker 04

  A hundred percent.

• 7:09Laci Mosley?

  So, we always ask on this podcast, what is your relationship to scams? Do you love them? Do you hate them? Have you been scammed recently? It could be anything. I also am gonna chime in on this one this week, cuz I have something to say. But y'all go ahead first.

• 7:22Speaker 04

  Wait a minute, Lacey, we gotta hear this.

• 7:25Laci Mosley?

  Okay, well, I'll give you some time to think then.

• 7:27Speaker 04

  Okay, okay.

• 7:28Laci Mosley?

  I just wanna say that I got scammed by someone who was like, oh, you know, in between work, I'm looking for just like a little personal assistant, like, side gig or whatever. And I was leaving town, right, for three months to go to Ireland to shoot Going Dutch, uh, which comes out January 2nd on Fox. And I needed somebody to just start my car, water my plants, get my mail. I asked them to organize like, arrange a cleaning service to come, which I paid for, so it wasn't like it was coming out. I paid them $600 a week. They could go whenever they wanted.

• 8:02Speaker 04

  $600 a week to start the car?

• 8:03Laci Mosley?

  To my house.

• 8:04Speaker 04

  I would've flown to L.A.

• 8:06Laci Mosley?

  I would've done that, Lacey.

• 8:07Speaker 04

  What the hell? Lacey, girl.

• 8:10Laci Mosley?

  It was also someone I know, so I was trying to be supportive. They're a little bit younger than me, not that much. And so I get home, my, the edges of my plants are looking a little crispy.

• 8:20Speaker 04

  Right.

• 8:20Laci Mosley?

  But my house is clean. There's no toilet paper, which I was kinda like, you could've got toilet paper, especially cuz I know they stayed at night at my house. So I was a little annoyed, but I was like, okay. Then I was looking around for my extra key, cuz they dropped off my car keys to the driver when I got into LAX. So I'm like, where's my extra key? And I needed it, I had a guest. And I'm like, huh, maybe it's around here somewhere. So I'm looking for that, I'm looking for my mail, can't find them. So I text the person, I was like, hey, do you know where my extra key is or my mail? You know, it's like three months of mail. And they're like, oh, I have your extra key. One, why do you have my extra key? Why did you give it to the driver with my other set of keys? You don't need my keys anymore. Two, I was like, where's my mail? And they were like, oh, I have your mail in my glove compartment. I was just picking it up and then like, I was gonna drop it all off.

• 9:04Laci Mosley?

  I was just organizing, I was gonna drop it all off. I'm like, unnecessary, cuz you have to get my mail at my house. So why don't you just go in my house and leave the mail? Don't understand that.

• 9:13Speaker 04

  That's weird.

• 9:13Laci Mosley?

  But I'm like, okay. Then I get a text this weekend at like 11. 7:00 PM and I was at Arden Mirren's birthday party. Shout out to Arden, love you boo. She does the Bachelor podcast, love her. So, I'm looking at the texts like OMG, I had all your mail in this Ralph's bag and my partner threw it away a few days ago.

• 9:36Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, no, no.

• 9:39Speaker 03

  Wait.

• 9:39Speaker 04

  No.

• 9:40Speaker 03

  A few days ago.

• 9:42Speaker 04

  Wait, Lacey, this is crazy.

• 9:45Laci Mosley?

  Three months of my mail.

• 9:47Speaker 04

  What did you say?

• 9:48Laci Mosley?

  I was out and I was like, I literally can't deal with this right now because of the rage. Like, they did like organize my closet at one point, but like I paid you way too much money at your leisure to do this stuff. I did ask them to hang some photos, they did not get hung. My plants are crispy, so I'm like, they weren't getting watered. I text the soil, it's dry as hell. So I'm like, you didn't do the things that I asked you to do. And then on top of that, you threw away three months of my mail.

• 10:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, girl, you know what's- Lacey, that's insane. What are you gonna do?

• 10:18Laci Mosley?

  I was expecting a check from the IRS. You know if I need that reissued, I'm never getting it. It was already, I was already waiting a year at this point. I, I get residual, I know I'm childish, but I haven't had entertaining partners be direct deposit. So I get residual checks in the mail, so I don't even know where those are coming from. And I get them all the time, don't know where they're coming from. I'm gonna have to call entertaining partners, stop all the checks for the past four months and reissue them. Like, I got tax information coming, don't know what was sent. I'm probably gonna get a penalty, I gotta call my accountant. Like, I don't know what else was in the mail, like, no idea.

• 10:50Speaker 03

  Girl.

• 10:50Laci Mosley?

  They threw away my mail.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Girl, you need to get your money back.

• 10:53Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, you gotta get your money back.

• 10:55Speaker 03

  You paid them too much money, I don't wanna assume gender. You paid them too much money for them to not do the job.

• 11:01Speaker 04

  It sounds like a man.

• 11:02Speaker 03

  How, how, right, it does sound like a man. But, okay, right, that's why I said, it don't sound like she would do that, but he definitely would. So, I know it was some residual checks in there and I know they probably just drove by your house, picked up your mail, threw it in their car. Didn't even go in, never used the key.

• 11:19Laci Mosley?

  And that doesn't even make sense because you have to go in to get the mail. So you might as well just go-

• 11:23Speaker 04

  Go upstairs. What are you gonna do? You gonna do?

• 11:28Laci Mosley?

  I haven't processed it yet. It literally just happened. Like, I tweeted about it. I'd never tweet about my personal business. But I was like, maybe somebody knows something about recovering mail that you don't even know what was in the mail. Cause I'm like, I don't, I, I was flummoxed, absolutely baffled. And then I was like, bring a gap, literally.

• 11:45Speaker 04

  That's a good word. Let me write that down.

• 11:49Laci Mosley?

  And then I was like, bring my key bag. And they're like, okay, well, I can bring it back on Monday or I could put it in an Uber. And I said, if you don't get your ass in the motherfucking car right now and drive my key over, I know you are not making excuses or offering to put my key in a stranger's car where they're driving it to my address. After you just lost my mail? So, but I'm, I'm in this place where I'm like, I got scammed. I paid somebody way too much money thinking like, if I'm paying you more money, you'll take, like, I have nice things in my house. I have expensive things. I have things that I can't replace. So I'm paying you this much so that you take care of these things and that you don't, you know, neglect these things. And I'm, it's, it's, you can do whatever you want. You can do like, I'm not in town, like, whatever.

• 12:32Laci Mosley?

  And it's like such an easy gig. If I had gotten this gig at that person's age, I would have done it very well and I would have been very appreciative. And instead, I gotta give an apology to Kim K, cause nobody wants to work anymore. Like, they really don't. I understand if you're working for low wages and your boss is treating you like shit, but I'm a nice boss. And I'm paying you really nicely for something that's just a side hustle that you can do whenever you want. And you can't do that? Like, that to me, like, that's my villain origin story. I'm a different bitch now. Ooh, y'all don't wanna see me coming in 2025. And I will be buying my bags.

• 13:06Speaker 04

  Over some mail.

• 13:07Laci Mosley?

  Okay? There are consequences and repercussions and they might not just be legal. But what about y'all?

• 13:13Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. I, oh, girl, you won. You won that. That's on you.

• 13:17Laci Mosley?

  It wasn't a competition. What's been going on with y'all? Scam.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  Scams, I love a scam. You know, if you're in America and you not doing them, or you not a victim of one, are you even an American citizen? Like, what's, what's good? Um, this country was built on scams. But, uh, you know, I was walking down the street and this guy saw me and he was like, oh, I know you. And I was like, no, I was like, yeah, all right. And he was like, no, I've been to your show before. Your, your dating show, you know, why are you single?

• 13:49Laci Mosley?

  Okay, you poppin', Marie. Don't act like somebody couldn't be like, I know you on the street. They don't have to personally know you.

• 13:54Speaker 03

  Sure, but I never believe a straight man, right? Like I, like if I have a show and other people come, I'm always like, yes, these cute people with good taste should be here. But anytime a straight man shows up, I'm like, what is this? Well, he trying to steal my organs? Or is this human trafficking?

• 14:11Laci Mosley?

  What if their girlfriend brought them up?

• 14:13Speaker 03

  But if they're solo, you know what I'm saying? Like a guy there with his girlfriend, absolutely. She dragged him there, he bought the tickets. Thank you for your service. But some regular man alone, no. So I saw this guy, he had a little bag with him and I said, what's that? And he was like, oxtail. And I said, oh, that's cute. I haven't had oxtail in a, in a minute. And he go, let's go get you some oxtail. And I was like, oh, okay. Now, I had just had brunch, literally, I just had brunch. Um, and I was like, I'm not hungry. And he was like, you could eat it later. And I was like, I like him. I really like him.

• 14:49Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, New York.

• 14:50Speaker 03

  What a nice guy. So he gets me the food. The next day, we talk. Uh, he invites me over to watch the sunset at his house and smoke some weed. And I'm just a girl, so I say, yeah. And I go over there, we're on the roof, we're having a good time. I go to his bathroom to use the bathroom. There's a condom wrapper in the trash. Top of the trash.

• 15:09Laci Mosley?

  He's using protection.

• 15:10Speaker 03

  Somebody was here while I was eating my oxtail and the condom wrapper is at the tippy top of the trash. I'm like, wow, I should say something, but I didn't. I just left. I made a big excuse and I left. Um, a couple of days later, uh, he hits me up. We end up hooking up, right? We hook up.

• 15:27Laci Mosley?

  Okay.

• 15:27Speaker 03

  It's fine. It's actually less than fine, less than fine.

• 15:31Laci Mosley?

  Not less than fine.

• 15:33Speaker 03

  Maybe a day later, two days later, he's like, yeah, I just want to be transparent with you.

• 15:37Laci Mosley?

  Ah, now you wanna be transparent.

• 15:40Speaker 03

  Why weren't you transparent when you bought me the oxtail, you, you liar, right?

• 15:44Laci Mosley?

  So you're supposed to be transparent at the time of transparency.

• 15:47Speaker 03

  You've been opaque this whole time, right?

• 15:50Laci Mosley?

  You could see some shit.

• 15:52Speaker 03

  Dark, hundred percent tense. I just wanna be transparent with you, uh, but I just, uh, I, I have a situation with somebody that lives out of town. Something recent.

• 16:02Laci Mosley?

  Which?

• 16:03Speaker 03

  Girl.

• 16:04Laci Mosley?

  So he's married?

• 16:05Speaker 03

  Girl.

• 16:05Laci Mosley?

  What you mean a situation?

• 16:07Speaker 04

  No, I'm sure he's not married, but he definitely was like, I would have rather him just be like, I'm not interested. Do, why are you telling me all of this? I don't need, this is.

• 16:16Laci Mosley?

  Cause he was hoping that, uh, she would be another situation.

• 16:19Speaker 04

  This is information I don't even need.

• 16:21Laci Mosley?

  That's the scam.

• 16:22Speaker 03

  He scammed me out of my panties with some oxtail, can you believe? I.

• 16:26Laci Mosley?

  Okay, oxtail is really expensive right now, it was a cooked well.

• 16:29Speaker 03

  It was about forty-five dollars. And I did get the large, I got the large oxtail.

• 16:32Laci Mosley?

  Oh.

• 16:34Speaker 03

  So, you know, it's like, yeah, I.

• 16:35Laci Mosley?

  Delicious.

• 16:36Speaker 03

  Was I scammed or was this just a transaction, a business trip?

• 16:43Laci Mosley?

  You're worth more than oxtail, even though it's expensive.

• 16:45Speaker 03

  Girl.

• 16:46Laci Mosley?

  But.

• 16:47Speaker 03

  I can't believe he scammed me, like, it's not even like, the, the sex was not good enough for you to also be a lying disrespectful man, like, I could see if you put it down and then said that, then I'd be like, oh, well, at least I got something out of it, but I got literally nothing, nothing out of it. So, um, Ghanaians are canceled for the rest of twenty twenty-four.

• 17:12Speaker 04

  Oh, I could have told you that. I, I was, I was very well versed in Ghanaians during college, so I'm gonna tell you one thing. I will not put my trust, put your trust in a nigga.

• 17:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 17:24Speaker 04

  Stupid asshole. That's what it is, that's the meme. Yeah.

• 17:29Laci Mosley?

  What about you, Sid?

• 17:31Speaker 04

  I mean, I just feel like life is a scam. I think every time you turn around and you're like, oh my god, I'm up like 20 points. Something turns around, you're like, oh, now I'm down 100. It just, from being an adult to being a woman, to being, living, breathing in New York. Scam, scam, scam, scam, scam. The election, I mean, how many days do we really have rest? We're not resting. My eyes are constantly open, and even when they're closed, my mind is on. So, I just feel like people are working so hard to be an American. Why? Why, why are you so pressed? Why are you damn near breaking your neck to be here?

• 18:14Speaker 04

  The, the people who were born here are struggling. I just don't get it. I, I imagine getting on a rowboat to get all the way over here to work, and then you can't even get an apartment. It is so hard to get in a fucking apartment in New York City, in LA. It's like, am I buying a home? I'm getting an apartment in Flatbush, bitch. What is wrong with you?

• 18:36Laci Mosley?

  It's giving home treatment. They're like, oh, your credit, your bank account, your employers. We need four references. Um, if I yell out on the street, we actually need to take you on the street and just see like six pastors buy it, if they fuck with your vibe financially. Like, what is this? Like, am I adopting a child or am I getting an apartment?

• 18:58Speaker 04

  They want six months of bank statements. Like, babe, just let me live here. It's like, guarantor needs to make 120 times the rent. It's like, okay, just say you want people to be homeless. Just say you want people out in the street. And when I buy people, I mean, black people, poor people. Like, that's who you want. You do not want people who look like me to be settled, to live, like, to live in a relaxing state. I mean, I, who knows what I could have created if I had my shit together? AKA, these people wouldn't be on my neck about, like, all my paperwork. How do you have pa- how do you have your paperwork to- How do you file and then know where your papers are?

• 19:43Speaker 04

  The fact that your mail is missing for three months, what are you gonna do? I don't even know where to start with that.

• 19:49Laci Mosley?

  I don't know, they just created a huge problem. I will say out there, if you are applying for jobs and you are black or a person of color, we don't lump them together anymore. Stop clicking that, stop clicking that other race box. Hit white. You'll start getting more responses on everything. Don't tell them you're black, don't tell them you're a non-white Hispanic.

• 20:12Speaker 03

  I usually, I used to be a Pacific Islander, just, you know, something different.

• 20:18Laci Mosley?

  For fun.

• 20:20Speaker 04

  Well, I guess I have to do that when applying for apartments as well. But then it's just-

• 20:24Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, don't tell them you're black. And then if they ask when you get to the apartment, like, oh, you're different than what you clicked on race. I'd be like, oh, I'm their assistant, they're so busy, so I look at the places.

• 20:35Speaker 04

  I have to be the assistant.

• 20:37Laci Mosley?

  Why is this assistant living up in there? Don't worry about that, she hurt.

• 20:41Speaker 04

  Okay, be the assistant, you're right.

• 20:44Speaker 03

  Sydney, you gotta scam, you gotta scam the system.

• 20:47Speaker 04

  Hey.

• 20:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 20:48Speaker 04

  Wow, I did not even know, I did not even think about that, I have to be the assistant. At first I was like, be someone's partner, it's like, no, the assistant.

• 20:57Laci Mosley?

  I'm here on behalf of Sydney Washington, she's currently working, so I'll be seeing the place and taking videos. And they'd be taking them videos like, oh Sydney, they have more closet space in this one.

• 21:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, okay.

• 21:11Laci Mosley?

  We're gonna get ours back, we're gonna get it back. Y'all not gonna keep scamming us, we scamming back.

• 21:16Speaker 03

  I mean, honestly Sydney, you could even like, call a beige friend and put them on speaker and explain what you're seeing. You got plenty of white friends. You can have Rosebud act it out, you got, honestly.

• 21:27Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, Rosebud would be great.

• 21:28Speaker 03

  She'll just be like, well, what's the square footage, what's the school district?

• 21:31Speaker 04

  And that's the only way to be American, is that you have to get scammed and you have to scam. If you are not participating in the scam chella, then-

• 21:42Speaker 04

  Then what are you doing?

• 21:43Laci Mosley?

  You better be one of the acts.

• 21:45Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 21:45Laci Mosley?

  You better be one of the acts.

• 21:47Speaker 04

  Have to be one of the acts. Because if you're not playing in their face, they're playing in yours. And that's how it is.

• 21:52Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 21:52Speaker 04

  And I'm exhausted.

• 21:53Laci Mosley?

  The question is, what would Ja Rule do? And Ja Rule would lie. Ja Rule would steal.

• 21:57Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. He would. And he would get, and he also would have a white companion to help him with the scam. To follow through with it.

• 22:05Laci Mosley?

  WWJD, what would Ja Rule do? What would he do without his papers? You know? And that's what we need to be thinking about.

• 22:13Speaker 04

  Oh, what'd you do without your papers?

• 22:16Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 22:17Speaker 04

  It's like, how can I apply?

• 22:18Laci Mosley?

  Scams!

• 24:25Laci Mosley?

  Well, let's get into my favorite segment here, Historic Hood Wings. This is where we regale Marie and Sydney with a famous con caper group of criminals. Today, it is a singular criminal, and it's a very New York, a legend criminal, which is why we wanted our native New Yorkers on the show for this one, because they already know T. We've known for a while. But today, we're going to be talking about New York City's tough-on-crime mayor, as I like to call him, Mr. Free Before 11 at the club.

• 25:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:01Speaker 04

  Mr. Hookah Thug Passion, Savior of the Hood, yeah.

• 25:06Speaker 03

  Mr. Wearing my grills to City Hall, Eric Adams.

• 25:11Laci Mosley?

  Mr. Hennessy Wings for my BBL Queens.

• 25:16Speaker 04

  Mr. We was in La Marina all summer.

• 25:19Speaker 03

  Mr. I got a bunch of hoes in the Sprinter van. We going to the next location.

• 25:24Laci Mosley?

  Yeah. Yes. Mr. You Up.

• 25:30Laci Mosley?

  Mr. I'll Hit That Cash App. Yes, Mr. Mayor, Eric Adams. So Eric Adams has been indicted on charges, including bribery, fraud, and taking illegal campaign donations. He's the first mayor of New York to face federal charges while in office, and he might be the last, because he's refusing to leave.

• 26:02Laci Mosley?

  No, I'm not gonna lie, I kinda stand like not leaving. Okay, he gave us a good J-Hood and Dreamgirls, "I'm staying, I'm staying."

• 26:12Speaker 04

  He said it is what it is.

• 26:13Laci Mosley?

  You. I'm gonna rob you. We're like, yes.

• 26:19Speaker 03

  I mean, can you blame him though?

• 26:22Laci Mosley?

  Don't.

• 26:22Speaker 03

  They just, look who they just elected as president.

• 26:25Laci Mosley?

  A felon.

• 26:26Speaker 03

  Right, he said, "Ay, if we doing it at the top, I'm doing it at the bottom."

• 26:31Laci Mosley?

  Right, and that's not the bottom. New York's mayor is a mayor that people know around the world because New York is a world city.

• 26:38Speaker 04

  No, no, no, they know about him around the world because he stay going live when he's in a fucking bar or lounge. He's on somebody's boat, he's everywhere except the office he's supposed to be working in. So that's why they know him.

• 26:51Laci Mosley?

  I knew shit was shaky when he gave PD the key, Diddy Love, uh, Criminal, the keys to the city. And then he was like, "Remy, them shits back as soon as, uh, Diddy got indicted." And that was like right before his indictment.

• 27:06Speaker 03

  Eric Adams, oof. You could tell by that earring in his ear. Is he the first New York City mayor with an earring?

• 27:13Laci Mosley?

  He might be. Take that earring out, we should've knew.

• 27:17Speaker 04

  From Zales?

• 27:18Laci Mosley?

  Been knew.

• 27:19Speaker 04

  He had the Cuban zucchinias on.

• 27:21Speaker 03

  He went to Jared.

• 27:23Speaker 04

  Oh, he went to Jared.

• 27:26Laci Mosley?

  You don't think he went to Kay? Every kiss begins with Kay? Every crime begins with Kay? I don't think he can spell.

• 27:32Speaker 04

  Or he went to Jacob the jeweler who also is a scam artist as well. I think he went to jail.

• 27:39Laci Mosley?

  I think he went wherever, um, Uncut Gems, Uncut Jams?

• 27:43Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 27:43Laci Mosley?

  I think wherever Adam Sandler was at and Uncut Jams. Like Mayor Eric Adams was there like, "Are y'all done filming yet?"

• 27:49Speaker 03

  A hundred percent, that's where he went. I mean, Eric Adams was on more red carpets than J-Lo last year, so that just goes to show. He was never at work, but he was always on site.

• 27:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, but that's what people need to understand.

• 28:02Laci Mosley?

  If a bottle pops in the city, it's like a bat signal for Mayor Eric Adams. He was like, "Where they popping at? Okay?"

• 28:09Speaker 03

  He said, "Put me on the list plus three."

• 28:11Laci Mosley?

  Right, you thought Charlie XCS was bumping that. No. Mayor Eric Adams.

• 28:15Speaker 04

  Bum ba da, bum ba da, bum ba da.

• 28:16Laci Mosley?

  Bum ba da, bum ba da, bum ba da.

• 28:18Speaker 04

  360. Well, the thing is, is that Eric Adams is a mayor of the times, right? It's all about show, show, show, no doing. Like, we know how the popularity works and how get your likes up and your reels and whatnot, all that matters. It doesn't matter the content. It matters like, you just have to be consistent. And so, he's consistently out shaking hands, chatting people up.

• 28:42Laci Mosley?

  Shaking ass.

• 28:43Speaker 04

  He's got the gift of gab. And so, he's like, that's what being a mayor is about. It's not about...

• 28:48Laci Mosley?

  He's an influencer.

• 28:50Speaker 04

  Yes, he is.

• 28:51Laci Mosley?

  Politician and influencer have always been very close. But they're now intertwined in a way that is so gross. Like, I need you to go be enacting policies. Stop giving the NYPD so much money.

• 29:05Speaker 04

  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, they're literally having shootouts in crowded subways on the train over somebody who hopped a turnstile?

• 29:14Laci Mosley?

  Like, oh yeah, you can catch a fade for a, what, $2 something cents subway ride? The police will jump you with batons and dogs, which is ridiculous.

• 29:26Speaker 04

  Get your priorities in order. They don't have that. They don't even know how to spell priorities, so therefore...

• 29:32Laci Mosley?

  No.

• 29:33Speaker 04

  You know?

• 29:33Laci Mosley?

  Their priorities are harassing and protecting rich people's property, and we've always known that. They have a 40% crime solve rate. They ain't trying to solve no crime. They ain't trying to stop no crime. Hell, they doing it. They're like, we are the crime. What do you mean? How we gonna stop it when we are it?

• 29:48Speaker 03

  How we supposed to solve this crime when we doing the crime? Like, Olivia Benson would never, okay? Elliot Stabler...

• 29:55Speaker 04

  Olivia Benson would never.

• 29:56Speaker 03

  But Olivia Benson...

• 29:57Laci Mosley?

  And his cakes. Now Elliot would beat up most of people. He did. And Law and Order SP, you know I told you all the Law and Orders are copaganda. They are delicious, but they are copaganda.

• 30:07Speaker 04

  You said copaganda. Wait, why? Explain to us.

• 30:10Laci Mosley?

  Because it's indoctrinating the public to be on the police's side when they make illegal decisions because it's always skewed and like, this is in the pursuit of justice, so it's okay. Hey that we beat up these innocent people or these people that we have no probable like we have no they're not convicted. They're not in the middle of doing a crime. We just beating they ass because we feel like they might be doing crime. Which then enables or what changes the way that people think. So when you see black folks getting attacked by the police over routine traffic stops and stuff. You always victim blame like what did they do? What what were they wearing? You don't go to like, why was this police officer beating up a stranger that they don't know? And that was not in the middle of committing any violent act.

• 30:53Laci Mosley?

  That but that's where propaganda comes from because whenever you see a vigilante movie and somebody taking the law into their own hands and stuff. It starts to change your brain framing of what is acceptable socially. And that is what these television shows do. So as much as I love me some Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler with his cakes. Like Elliot Stabler was out here cake down booty cheeked up on a Thursday. Beating the shit out of strangers on the street and that shit wasn't right.

• 31:18Speaker 03

  And we were like, Stabler better be his ass.

• 31:21Laci Mosley?

  We were like, be his ass.

• 31:25Speaker 04

  But you know what, you know what? I as much as I love Lorna SVU, how many fucking seasons are we gonna deal with rape? Okay, y'all could.

• 31:34Laci Mosley?

  That's all they do. That's a special victims union, girl. You was waiting for them not to do that? That's what they do over there.

• 31:40Speaker 03

  It's literally called SVU. There's other, there's other law orders that don't deal.

• 31:46Laci Mosley?

  There's other law orders.

• 31:47Speaker 04

  But that's what I'm saying. I'm like, this is the only, this is the longest running show.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, watch the other one.

• 31:52Speaker 04

  It's so, no, but this is the longest running show that it's like, we've heard it all, we've seen it all. How many? How many scenarios have we remixed? Like the college scenario.

• 32:02Laci Mosley?

  They watching the show like, when they gonna stop being cops?

• 32:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:05Speaker 03

  I would like to see them be nurses today. Sometimes, sometimes they're in the courtroom. That's the, that's the law part.

• 32:12Laci Mosley?

  So Eric Adams background. Eric Adams is known for saying some wild stuff. He posted on Instagram, New York City is the Tel Aviv of America and vice versa. Don't know what he means by that.

• 32:24Speaker 04

  Don't.

• 32:24Laci Mosley?

  He told, which like Tel Aviv is in Israel.

• 32:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, I know, you know.

• 32:29Laci Mosley?

  Don't understand what he means by that. Uh, we do give Israel a lot of money, so perhaps I, I, I'm, I'm not understanding. But he has this post here where he's like doing a heart hand. Um, and this is where he says like, New York City is the Tel Aviv of America. Okay, girl. He told Vanity Fair, the best concert he ever saw was when a light fell on a soul artist, Curtis Mayfield, and paralyzed him. He said that was the best concert he saw was when the light fell on Curtis Mayfield and paralyzed him.

• 33:00Speaker 04

  Sounds like he pushed the light over, that's what it's given.

• 33:03Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, did you push the light? And here's a clip of Eric Adams saying why he thinks New York is the greatest city in the world. So we have a little video.

• 33:12Speaker 07

  This is a place where every day you wake up, uh, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our trade center to a, a person who's celebrating a new business that's open. Uh, this is a very, very complicated city and that's why it's the greatest city on the globe.

• 33:31Speaker 04

  You know, he said rain, bitch. We got rain.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  He said, you might die here and that's what makes it great.

• 33:39Speaker 04

  Honestly, don't worry, honey. If you're suicidal, New York is the place to be because you probably are most likely going to die here.

• 33:45Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, you don't have to worry about doing it yourself. New York will do it for you. And that's why we're the greatest city in the world. I have never seen someone spin nine 11 into a positive.

• 33:54Speaker 03

  The promo for that. He did this on September 25th. So nine 11 had just happened and then he was like, it's at the front of my brain and I didn't prepare for this interview. Let me tell you.

• 34:07Laci Mosley?

  What other city in the world is planes crashing into the buildings? Think about that.

• 34:11Speaker 03

  He also called New York the Haiti of the wor- He just, he keeps calling New York the, the blank of the blank. And no one is calling the Tel Aviv of the wor- There already is a Tel Aviv.

• 34:25Speaker 04

  He said, baby-

• 34:25Laci Mosley?

  What do you mean?

• 34:26Speaker 04

  He said, listen, this is the equation, this is the formula, I'm using it over and over and over again.

• 34:31Laci Mosley?

  He's like, whoever I'm around, whatever their ethnicity is or wherever they're from, I'm gonna say New York is the blank of that. New York City is the Ohio of the world. Like, what do you mean?

• 34:41Speaker 03

  Like, we already have an Ohio, we don't even like that.

• 34:43Speaker 04

  He said, he said, New York is a four plus four.

• 34:49Speaker 03

  That's what he's saying.

• 34:51Laci Mosley?

  So, before he was the New York's most quotable mayor, he grew up in Brooklyn and in Queens, where he ran errands for hustlers in the Seven Crowns gang and worked as a squeaky man on Jamaica Avenue.

• 35:04Speaker 03

  Not the squeaky man, he was in Belly?

• 35:06Speaker 04

  I'm screaming.

• 35:07Laci Mosley?

  Literally, so he had dirty ass water and was at the gas station squeezing in people's cars without their permission.

• 35:12Speaker 04

  How was he in Brooklyn and Queens? Was he in Ridgewood? That's the only way, he's on the cusp.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  He was born in one and they said, you know what, we need a squeaky guy in Queens, you got some time?

• 35:24Laci Mosley?

  So run it back, get on the train, hop on the queue and help us out. So at age 15, he was arrested after he and his brother stole from a sex worker who had failed to pay Eric back for errands he did for her while she was injured. There's so much there.

• 35:41Speaker 03

  While she was injured, did he drop a light on her too?

• 35:44Laci Mosley?

  He might have dropped a light on her like he did Curtis Mayfield, which is his favorite concert. Did you get this information from Wikipedia? Cause it seems like his biggest hater, his biggest op was like, we're gonna write out-

• 35:56Speaker 04

  His whole life.

• 35:57Laci Mosley?

  No, we don't use Wikipedia, it's not a real source.

• 35:59Speaker 03

  It's not a real source?

• 36:00Laci Mosley?

  It's not a real source, tell your friends, tell your friends. Anyone can write on Wikipedia. But, there's just so many layers to this. At 15, he and his brother stole from a sex worker who was injured. I don't know if it was a worker's injury, worker's comp situation, but- Um, she failed to pay them back for errands that he did while she was injured on the job. And I don't understand why they were doing errands.

• 36:28Speaker 03

  It sounds like, it sounds like a pimp hoe relationship. He did errands, like he was protecting her while she was doing her sex work. Wow, Eric Adams, what a mess. Please continue.

• 36:39Laci Mosley?

  So the arrested NYPD officers beat him, which inspired Adams to become a cop. Join in the New York City Transit Police at age 23. So after the police beat him up, he said, let me, if you can't beat them.

• 36:54Speaker 04

  Join them.

• 36:55Laci Mosley?

  When they beat you.

• 36:57Speaker 03

  If you can't.

• 36:57Laci Mosley?

  Join.

• 36:58Speaker 03

  If you can.

• 36:58Laci Mosley?

  And then overfund them.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  If you can't beat them, join them and beat them again.

• 37:04Speaker 04

  Yeah, if they beat you, then you also beat.

• 37:06Speaker 03

  That's what it is.

• 37:07Speaker 04

  It's a beat on beat.

• 37:10Speaker 04

  A family that beats together.

• 37:11Speaker 03

  Beats together.

• 37:14Laci Mosley?

  A family that beats together eats together, okay? So he was like, y'all beating on me a little too good. I'mma join y'all. I'm gonna sign up. Cause that beating really inspired me to beat on others. So he successfully transitioned to politics in 2006. First as a Democratic State Senator and later as Brooklyn Borough President. As a former cop, he's always had a tough on crime attitude. Now, mind you, he was doing crime and then he got beat up by the police. This may be the first time in, in black history that somebody got beat by the police and was like, you know what? Y'all did a good thing.

• 37:48Speaker 03

  I'm gonna join you. Yeah.

• 37:52Speaker 04

  You know what? I've been, I've been needing my ass beat for so long. Thank you so much.

• 37:56Speaker 03

  Thank you for beating some sense into me. I too am on the force.

• 38:01Laci Mosley?

  Thank you for beating my friend.

• 38:03Speaker 04

  My friend.

• 38:07Laci Mosley?

  I'm the mayor now. So as a former cop, he's always had this tough on crime attitude. Here's a 2011 PSA where he demonstrates how parents can stop youth crime by searching their kids' rooms for contraband. And here we have a video.

• 38:21Speaker 07

  You can look in a jewelry box, a jewelry box of this nature, maybe a simple jewelry box. But if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding. For instance. Look at picture frames behind them, cameras. Try to determine what's, what's taking place. Behind a picture frame, you can find bullets.

• 38:40Laci Mosley?

  That's why I put my bullets.

• 38:41Speaker 07

  When your child bring in his popular knapsack with many different locations. Look through it to see what exactly

• 38:47Laci Mosley?

  It's not textbooks.

• 38:49Speaker 07

  In addition to a book. Something simple as a

• 38:52Laci Mosley?

  A crack pipe.

• 38:53Speaker 07

  Something simple as a, as a baby doll. Could be just a baby doll, but also it could be a place where you could secrete or hide drugs.

• 39:01Laci Mosley?

  Secret drugs. Secret?

• 39:05Laci Mosley?

  It's a lovely pillow.

• 39:07Speaker 07

  Button is a perfect invitation to hide.

• 39:09Laci Mosley?

  What's in this pillow?

• 39:10Speaker 07

  I felt something bumpy. I would reach in, see what it is.

• 39:13Laci Mosley?

  A gun.

• 39:14Speaker 07

  Just look and see what's inside your bookcases. It could be more than just books. Perfect place to hide cocaine.

• 39:21Laci Mosley?

  That's why you put it in your books.

• 39:23Speaker 04

  I'm still not getting over secretes. Sir, what? You would just say anything up in there. And he's got the fucking Langston Hughes music in the background. I can't. This is upsetting me and my homegirls.

• 39:35Laci Mosley?

  He could do a second take of this, like secretes drugs?

• 39:39Speaker 03

  He did his little bumpin' that bump and then he said, let's talk about baby dolls secreting.

• 39:44Speaker 04

  And the crack pipes. Don't forget the crack pipe.

• 39:47Speaker 03

  He didn't show us anything. Like, people would already, you see a box in your, in a room, you gonna open the box.

• 39:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, you think that parents are not looking through any of, any through and everything of those things that he said?

• 39:58Speaker 03

  You lean on a pillow when you get shot in the back, you gonna be like, it's a gun in there, like.

• 40:05Laci Mosley?

  That's the perfect place to put your gun, is in a decorative pillow on your bed.

• 40:09Speaker 03

  A pillow from Home Goods? That's a gun purse.

• 40:11Laci Mosley?

  Easy access too, because then you have to unbutton it. You're like, hold on criminal, I gotta unbutton my Home Goods pillow. And then go behind my picture frame and get the bullets and then put them in the gun and then grab my, uh, baby doll. So, cause I don't want you to be secreting the drugs out of it. Those are my drugs to sell and do.

• 40:30Speaker 04

  Girl, I'm gonna pull up on you and secrete my gun right on you, okay?

• 40:36Speaker 04

  The way my gun secretes, bitch, you don't want none of this.

• 40:39Speaker 03

  He put it on the baby's back.

• 40:44Laci Mosley?

  So to be fair, the word secrete means both to hide and to release.

• 40:49Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 40:49Laci Mosley?

  That is not the colloquial term of secrete.

• 40:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, no.

• 40:53Speaker 03

  No, we've never used secrete like that. That's how they talk about secreting queens. That's sequins.

• 41:00Speaker 04

  That's not, that's definitely not a Brooklyn secretion at all.

• 41:04Laci Mosley?

  No. If, if somebody was like, I was buying weed and the baby doll secreted it, I would think it was like squirting it out. Like, no, squirting out the nugs. No, no, no, no.

• 41:14Speaker 04

  Maria, I absolutely secreted earlier today when I went to the barbeque. I was like bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.

• 41:21Speaker 03

  That's that baby, that's that baby doll.

• 41:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 41:24Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 43:32Laci Mosley?

  So Adams may not seem like a parenting expert, but he is a father. His 29-year-old son, Jordan Coleman, was once an intern at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, worked for Roc Nation, and appeared on an Albanian talent show as the rapper J.O., performing his song, "Itsy Bitsy." Let's hear "Itsy Bitsy" from J.O. Also, like, it's not giving father, because why does he not have his last name? It's giving mom had the baby at the hospital and you were not there to sign the birth certificate. That's what it's giving.

• 44:05Speaker 03

  You know what it's giving.

• 44:07Laci Mosley?

  Okay, the beat kinda...

• 44:20Laci Mosley?

  Okay, pity. We can pause.

• 44:22Speaker 03

  That's enough out of him.

• 44:23Laci Mosley?

  "Itsy Bitsy gotta shake them ass and titties." Okay.

• 44:28Speaker 03

  What's the "itsy bitsy"? His dick?

• 44:30Laci Mosley?

  Spider? I don't know.

• 44:32Speaker 04

  Bro.

• 44:32Laci Mosley?

  But this makes sense.

• 44:34Speaker 04

  I'm playing that later. That's where I need to go when I go to the creek. When I'm about to go to the creek. I'm gonna play that. DJ, play that fucking track.

• 44:42Speaker 03

  "Itsy Bitsy, Bitsy." And he went to Albania to do that?

• 44:45Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, they wasn't gonna let him do that over here. We don't have much for standards, but I guess "itsy bitsy" is where we draw the line.

• 44:52Speaker 04

  "Throw your way, move it, got me in a trap."

• 44:55Laci Mosley?

  They probably loved it over there. They're like, "itsy bitsy."

• 44:57Speaker 03

  You know they was in Albania like this.

• 44:59Speaker 04

  "Ass and titties."

• 45:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 45:02Laci Mosley?

  Everybody movements. Yeah, very much that. So from 2014 to 2021, Adams served as Brooklyn Borough President and had a number of dubious mentees, including one of my faves. I actually went to the prison that this man is at this summer. So when you watch Scam Goddess, there is an episode about Bishop Lamore Whitehead. And Bishop Lamore Whitehead would always say that Eric Adams was his homeboy. They have several photos together. Eric Adams says he don't really know her like that. But, you know, from 2014 to 2021, allegedly, when he was Brooklyn Borough President, you know, Pastor Gucci Lamore Whitehead was one of his mentees, which tells you something.

• 45:43Speaker 03

  Pastor Gucci tells me everything I need to know, baby.

• 45:46Speaker 04

  Everything I need to know. I know he's wearing the slides, too. He could, the name, the shoes gotta match the name, so.

• 45:53Laci Mosley?

  Truly. I mean, you saw the teasers, like, when one of our guests was like, the pastor was pimping the congregation. That was Bishop Lamore Whitehead. So if you haven't seen that teaser, it's on both of my pages. So Adams is mayor. Adams was elected mayor of New York City, where anything can happen, including you dying.

• 46:14Laci Mosley?

  In 2021, during the primaries, reporters uncovered Adams' financial disclosures were incomplete, and Adams blamed his accountant. He said, "I had an accountant who was homeless."

• 46:27Speaker 04

  Wait, what? Wait, was the accountant homeless when he found him?

• 46:32Speaker 03

  Where?

• 46:33Speaker 04

  Was he an accountant and became homeless?

• 46:34Speaker 03

  Where was the accountant storing his calculator if he was without a home?

• 46:39Speaker 04

  Girl.

• 46:39Laci Mosley?

  That's why he says some of the financials blew away in the wind, cuz he was...

• 46:43Speaker 03

  He didn't have a filing cabinet.

• 46:45Speaker 04

  The accountant...

• 46:45Laci Mosley?

  He was living at the D train.

• 46:47Speaker 04

  The accountant had all the papers in, in his car, in a bag, and then his partner threw it away.

• 46:53Laci Mosley?

  No!

• 46:58Laci Mosley?

  I hate comedians. Not having to call back.

• 47:01Speaker 04

  Call back.

• 47:03Laci Mosley?

  I'm hurt. So he goes on to say, I li- this he's talking, this Eric Adams talking about his accountant. He said, I let him continue to do his job even when he lived in a homeless shelter. And because of that, it caused him to make some bad decisions. So Eric Adams. Your accountant's homeless. I know you gotta pay your accountant like something. I have to pay my accountant very much things. Very much monies. We didn't think like, let me help my accountant out. Like he's, he's in charge of my bookkeeping. I could go to prison.

• 47:37Speaker 04

  He said, I'mma give you.

• 47:41Laci Mosley?

  It's so funny.

• 47:45Laci Mosley?

  What kind of excuses is?

• 47:47Speaker 04

  Cause it's like, imagine your accountant needs like wifi or like a laptop and it's like, hey, it got stolen in the shelter. Like what? He's like, well, you gotta go to the library and finish this paperwork. Cause if you wanna get.

• 47:59Laci Mosley?

  Right.

• 47:59Speaker 04

  And then send me an invoice.

• 48:01Laci Mosley?

  You gotta go to Starbucks to finish this paperwork.

• 48:03Speaker 03

  Was Will Smith in Pursuit of Happiness?

• 48:07Speaker 03

  Eric Adams said.

• 48:08Laci Mosley?

  That's so messed up.

• 48:10Speaker 03

  Can I send you? I know you don't have a phone right now, but it's in there. I'll send.

• 48:14Laci Mosley?

  I feel like Eric just had watched Pursuit of Happiness and was like, ooh, they asked me about my financials. Um, my accountant got a son and a briefcase and.

• 48:24Speaker 03

  I'm sorry, but I can't not see the parallels between Trump and Eric Adams. Eric Adams is like, Eric Adams is like the hood version of Trump. The Timu To Be Trump. Cause everything.

• 48:40Laci Mosley?

  He's a To Be Trump.

• 48:40Speaker 03

  Everything he's doing, Trump also did.

• 48:43Laci Mosley?

  Except for Trump started with the leg up because you know, his family did actually have money.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Privilege. Eric Adams had to go to Queens.

• 48:51Laci Mosley?

  And they had the kind of evil money that made them so ugly and their hair so weird that you just knew they did so many murders.

• 48:58Speaker 03

  The uglier the billionaire, the worse the pest.

• 49:01Laci Mosley?

  Cause you can't be cute and hot and, and, and a murderer. Okay?

• 49:05Speaker 03

  Name one, name one hot billionaire. Ready? Go.

• 49:10Speaker 04

  Rihanna?

• 49:11Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 49:12Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 49:13Speaker 04

  Beyonce?

• 49:14Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 49:14Speaker 03

  Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, but Beyonce is not a billionaire.

• 49:17Laci Mosley?

  Now, uh.

• 49:17Speaker 03

  Not yet.

• 49:19Laci Mosley?

  It, it, it's like combined with her husband and we're talking about assets that aren't liquid.

• 49:23Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 49:24Laci Mosley?

  I'm talking about somebody who got it.

• 49:26Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 49:26Speaker 03

  You know, somebody who be like.

• 49:27Laci Mosley?

  Who like literally can like, like go to their, all their Cayman accounts and Swedish accounts and like the billion adds up. Versus like, we have equity that is worth a billion. Cause that's what they be doing at Forbes. At Forbes, they be like, okay, well, my couch is worth at least a hundred thousand. Like they be adding everything up and they be like, my businesses are worth this. And they be like, I'm a billionaire, but it's like, what's in the bank account?

• 49:48Speaker 03

  Right. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

• 49:50Laci Mosley?

  So after he took office in 2022, Adams filled his administration with former NYPD buddies and people from his orbit, including hiring his brother Bernard to run mayoral security at a salary of $210,000 a year, before an ethics board made him drop the salary to $1. So he hired his brother and he was taking care of his people. He said 220,000 to take care of my security. Cause he know he needs security. And I want to say that actually is good because the CEOs now that are so shook after the CEO assassination are now putting out job applications for security, paying like $79,000 a year. Uh, you don't even really want to pay to live. $79,000 a year, that's before tax. To keep you, to take a bullet for you?

• 50:33Speaker 03

  Sounds like you want to die, babe.

• 50:35Laci Mosley?

  I'm stepping back. I'm stepping back. You make millions of dollars a year. You need to go ahead and throw at least 500K at that. If you want me to like gray, like get a graze of a bullet or something. Cause as soon as the shooter step out, I'm gonna be thinking about the tax adjustment and how I'm really only making like 55. And then, you know, with bills and living in New York, like I'm gonna step back.

• 50:56Speaker 03

  In actuality, I'm only walking around with $50,000.

• 51:00Laci Mosley?

  I'm gonna be like, he's got a gun. I'm just gonna be the crier. I'm gonna be your town crier. Like ju- duck.

• 51:05Speaker 03

  I'm gonna be the person who takes the video of it so I can show it in court if you live.

• 51:11Laci Mosley?

  To the authorities for you. You know, you need somebody to do that. So as a mayor, he cut the budgets of most regulatory agencies. While upping the budget for the NYPD. Mind you, this is New York City. So regulatory agencies are paramount, you know? We need people cleaning the streets. We need people, you know, we need the electricity doing what it needs to do. We need Con Edison to check. We need these agencies. And he was like, let's cut all that back and give it to the police so that they can beat on more brown people. Adams reintroduced a plainclothes police unit that had been disbanded, empowered subway cops to open fire on turnstile jumpers, and vowed to eliminate the squeaky men he once found himself among.

• 51:56Speaker 03

  Wow. Oh. Wow. This is peak, this is peak, I get in the door and I shut it behind me.

• 52:04Laci Mosley?

  Woo. When I say Mayor Eric Adams took that ladder and he raveled it up real quick.

• 52:10Speaker 04

  He said, I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and then I burned the boots.

• 52:16Speaker 03

  Do not be following me.

• 52:18Speaker 04

  You won't be, follow me, follow me.

• 52:23Laci Mosley?

  And like plainclothes cops are so dangerous. The, the ones in the uniform are dangerous. So that's not something that we needed back. And we definitely, why are you shooting people over a train fare? That is absolute insanity.

• 52:38Speaker 03

  It is.

• 52:39Laci Mosley?

  We're killing people because they're poor. But then you want poor people to make everything and be your slaves for the slave wages. What, what, what, this is counterintuitive. It's, it's, it's absolutely ridiculous. So he gave Diddy the key to the city. I love that that rhymes. Last November, then asked for it to be returned in June. They were both charged with crimes this past September. So here he is doing the love sign and they are of the same ilk to me, for sure. Um, I'm not saying, I'm not alleging that Mayor Eric Adams was doing the things that Diddy was doing specifically, but they're both criminals and, you know, New York born and bred criminals. And he gave him these keys. And then when the videos started coming out and the evidence started coming out,

• 53:23Laci Mosley?

  he was like, hey, Diddy, we actually need you to run that key back.

• 53:26Speaker 03

  And Diddy was like.

• 53:28Laci Mosley?

  But they were both indicted. So it's like, how you gonna tell me to take, get you the key back? You, you don't need the key either. Neither of us need the key to the city.

• 53:35Speaker 04

  Listen, listen, you know that, that meme with the Spider-Man that's like, you.

• 53:39Laci Mosley?

  No, you, you, you.

• 53:40Speaker 04

  They're both like, huh? They're all, that's him, for sure. For absolute sure.

• 53:45Laci Mosley?

  Why was he indicted? It is illegal for US political candidates to take donations from foreign citizens. But Eric Adams tried to scheme his way around this. He's accused of routing foreign donations through US citizens so the gifts would appear to be legal. So he was like, you pass it to this person who's a citizen and then they pass it to me and then all of a sudden, like, which is kind of a laundering mech- mechanism. Now it's legitimate. He also solicited matching public funds for donations from straw donors. A straw donor is a donor used to illegally funnel money from another source. He's accused of using straw donors to secure $10 million in public matching funds during both his mayoral campaigns.

• 54:30Laci Mosley?

  So both of the campaigns, he was like, if y'all donate a little coin, then somebody's gonna match it. Don't worry, they are definitely a citizen and don't worry who they are and, and how they matching it.

• 54:42Speaker 04

  Don't worry about all that, just know we matching.

• 54:44Laci Mosley?

  Listen, send the money. We going ban for ban.

• 54:46Speaker 03

  Send the money, we'll figure it out.

• 54:48Laci Mosley?

  Right, we go, we going ban for Euro, I mean, ban.

• 54:55Speaker 03

  He's gross.

• 54:56Laci Mosley?

  We going ban for Kremlin, I mean, ban.

• 54:58Speaker 04

  Ban, yeah.

• 54:59Laci Mosley?

  For ban. So in addition, Adams had a specific quid pro quo relationship with Turkey. In 2015, as Brooklyn Borough President, Adams received free business class tickets to Turkey from an entrepreneur there, which he reported to the Conflict of Interest Board. But while the trips continued, the reporting stopped. Initially, he was like, yeah, I took a couple of trips to Turkey. I just wanna let y'all know, I was just over in Istanbul, you know. Be, I was a bull in Istanbul.

• 55:29Speaker 04

  The way you say Istanbul.

• 55:30Speaker 03

  Istanbul.

• 55:31Speaker 04

  Bull.

• 55:32Laci Mosley?

  Cause it's the New York way, you gotta be like, Istanbul, cause he was a bull. You don't know, that's New York slang for like, oh man. So he accepted a decade's worth of business class flights and luxury hotel stays worth more than a hundred thousand dollars from wealthy Turkish businessmen and at least one government official without disclosing them. So he kinda did that like, I'll tell you a little bit of the truth and then I'mma go run him up. He was getting flewed out.

• 55:58Speaker 04

  Oh, he is the, he was the original, uh, he's a star tender.

• 56:03Laci Mosley?

  He's a city, he's a city boy.

• 56:04Speaker 03

  City girl, girl, city girl, boy. Now, how did he even, how did he meet anybody in Turkey? How did, like, did he go to try to get his beard hairs filled in and then he met somebody?

• 56:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's the upsetting thing. You go to Turkey and you don't get your hairline fixed? Like, come on, bro.

• 56:20Laci Mosley?

  Well, he bald, so he didn't need that.

• 56:22Speaker 03

  But maybe he was like, I wanna be somebody with a, with a swoop bang for the new year.

• 56:28Laci Mosley?

  But remember, he, not the bang.

• 56:31Speaker 04

  The bang.

• 56:33Laci Mosley?

  Uh-oh, Mayor Adams. So maybe in the club, you know, he was always, in the club, we all fam. He was always out and about. So who's telling, you know, New York is a very cosmopolitan city. There's always people from different countries there and dignitaries and foreign people. So I'm sure one of these mayoral turnups, he probably met these people.

• 56:55Speaker 03

  That's what happens when you're always outside. You meet other people who are outside and then you get flown out of the country to do fraud.

• 57:04Laci Mosley?

  That's the steps. You go outside, you meet other people who are outside, and then you get flown out of the country.

• 57:10Speaker 03

  Exactly. Some of y'all wondering, why I haven't met anybody? Why is it hard for me to do scams and fraud? Cause you not outside. Go outside, you might meet the, the crime of your life.

• 57:21Laci Mosley?

  And Marie has a very popular dating show and so she knows what she's talking about, okay?

• 57:26Speaker 04

  She knows for sure.

• 57:27Laci Mosley?

  So Adams and his companions accepted a heavily discounted stay in the Bentley Suite of the St. Regis Istanbul, worth more than seven thousand dollars, for which he paid less than six hundred dollars. Look at this suite. This is nice. This is the living room of the suite. That's bigger than most people's apartments in New York.

• 57:46Speaker 03

  That look like Miami.

• 57:47Laci Mosley?

  Like the floor. Are marble, the couch is like some kind of, you know, ridiculous baby cow leather.

• 57:56Speaker 03

  Baby cow for sure.

• 57:57Laci Mosley?

  It's infant cow leather. Okay, cow didn't even learn to walk before it became a couch. And this is a really nice suite. It looks like it's got like floor to wall windows, like it definitely has those little buttons that move the curtains. To close and open. It's giving opulence.

• 58:14Speaker 04

  No, it's giving default. It's like, oh, I got a nice, I got a nice suite, but it's like, there was no thought really into it. Like, it was kind of like, let's put some things together that make men think that this is wealth.

• 58:27Laci Mosley?

  So Sydney doesn't love the decor. I've seen nicer suites.

• 58:30Speaker 03

  I will say that. Looking at this picture.

• 58:32Laci Mosley?

  I'm not saying it's the best, but it's definitely a sprint.

• 58:34Speaker 03

  You can tell a man designed and put this together. No, no female interior designer would have done this.

• 58:42Speaker 04

  No flowers, no nothing.

• 58:45Laci Mosley?

  Look at the pillows. They were like, let's make them blue. Like, what, what are we doing here?

• 58:49Speaker 03

  It's giving rich with no taste.

• 58:51Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm. That's exactly what it is.

• 58:54Laci Mosley?

  In 2019?

• 58:55Speaker 04

  And actually, that's an oxymoron, an oxymoron. Or like, that's repetitive. Like, rich with no taste, it'd be the same thing.

• 59:01Laci Mosley?

  I mean, some rich people have taste, but money can't buy you class. We know that. Elegance is learned, my friends, for the housewives, girlies. So in 2019, Adams returned to the St. Regis where he accepted a free two-night stay in the cosmopolitan suite. A car service, a boat tour, a Turkish bath, and at least one meal at a high-end restaurant. A Turkish bath, you say?

• 59:27Speaker 04

  Is this somebody's birthday? This feels like birthday, a birthday trip.

• 59:32Laci Mosley?

  A birthday on a birthday.

• 59:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, birthday for your girl.

• 59:33Laci Mosley?

  Who knows? He traveled to India, China, Sri Lanka, France, Nepal, and Hungary, all on Turkish Airlines Business Class. So you know, that's where you get the bed, that's reclining, you get the little, you might even get a little room. There might even be a bar on the airplane that you can go visit and kick it with. Like, you know, some of those airlines are like really cute. He flew through Istanbul so often that he started turning down free excursions. Saying no to a cruise of the Bosporus Strait because he had already done the boat tour a few times. So he was like, I already did it. Like, I don't even need to go over there no more.

• 1:00:08Speaker 03

  He said, they know me over there. I don't need to. What else you got?

• 1:00:11Laci Mosley?

  That's very boring to me. He traveled to Turkey often enough that he appeared as himself in the 2017 Turkish rom com Fairy Tale in New York. So now he doing acting gigs.

• 1:00:24Speaker 03

  Shut up.

• 1:00:27Laci Mosley?

  And why is he in this movie, definitely playing himself, talking about the, his role was that he was a New York politician, taking bribes from Turkish men? Not our imitating life.

• 1:00:38Speaker 04

  Yes, it's very meta. It's very meta. You know what he was doing.

• 1:00:42Laci Mosley?

  Let's play a little bit. Can he act? I bet you he a good actor.

• 1:00:45Speaker 07

  You guys are from Turkey. Brooklyn loves Turkey. Brooklyn is the Istanbul of America. We love your food.

• 1:00:52Laci Mosley?

  No.

• 1:00:53Speaker 07

  Music, but I don't understand Turkish. We can take a selfie, though.

• 1:00:57Speaker 04

  Istanbul. Way.

• 1:00:59Laci Mosley?

  Why did he use his catchphrase? I thought that was improv because that's definitely his catchphrase. It's not. Brooklyn is the instant.

• 1:01:07Speaker 04

  Istanbul.

• 1:01:08Laci Mosley?

  The Istanbul.

• 1:01:10Speaker 04

  No, Istanbul.

• 1:01:11Speaker 03

  He said, we love y'all in Brooklyn. No.

• 1:01:14Laci Mosley?

  Istanbul.

• 1:01:15Speaker 03

  We love them in that, girl.

• 1:01:18Laci Mosley?

  We don't hate them. We just not thinking about them.

• 1:01:20Speaker 03

  We love your music. We love your food. I can't, I don't know a single Turkish song.

• 1:01:25Laci Mosley?

  We love your boat cruises. Everybody in Brooklyn, every day be talking about the boat cruises because that's really what it is. That ass.

• 1:01:32Speaker 04

  And you know what? I just, I can't be mad. I can't be mad at Eric for really being as far as he's gotten. Like, because it's actually inspiring. You know what I mean? Like, he's, he's not good on, on or off paper, but still, I rise. Like, he's still a mayor. He's still in office.

• 1:01:53Laci Mosley?

  Still I scam.

• 1:01:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, and so we kind of just need to live our, our, our lives like Mr. Adams, I think.

• 1:02:01Laci Mosley?

  Why does the cage bird scheme?

• 1:02:06Laci Mosley?

  Think about that. This scheme is so good.

• 1:02:10Speaker 04

  I might get that tatted on my neck.

• 1:02:11Laci Mosley?

  Think about that.

• 1:02:12Speaker 04

  I might get that tatted on my neck.

• 1:02:14Laci Mosley?

  So Adams had his staff create a fake paper trail to pretend he was actually paying for the trips. In one case, he sent an email to his scheduler saying he left her cash in her desk drawer to reimburse Turkish Airlines for a trip worth more than $10,000. But he did not leave the cash. In another case, his staffer asked a Turkish Airlines official via text to charge him a sum that could conceivably be considered an appropriate price for a plane ticket. The airline official suggested $50, which the staffer rejected. The airline official responded, "How much should I charge?" Question mark, smiley face.

• 1:02:53Speaker 03

  Wait, the airline that he wasn't paying for said a reasonable price for a business class ticket was $50?

• 1:03:01Laci Mosley?

  So he started by emailing his staff and being like, "Hey, I left 10K in the drawer for that 10K ticket," which he did not leave the 10K. He's just trying to make a paper trail, right? So that when they call asking, he'd be like, "I left the 10K and my staffer." And I don't know why the staffer didn't realize, like, once they realized the money wasn't paid, they were, he was gonna throw your ass under the bus and say you were homeless.

• 1:03:19Speaker 04

  Absolutely.

• 1:03:19Laci Mosley?

  She's homeless, and that's why she didn't give the $10,000.

• 1:03:23Speaker 03

  She's homeless.

• 1:03:24Laci Mosley?

  Homeless.

• 1:03:26Speaker 04

  Da di da da da.

• 1:03:27Laci Mosley?

  Da da da. So then he had the staffer, like, in contact with an airline official from Turkish Airlines, and he was like, "Hey, reach out to them and ask them, like, to charge me for the ticket that I paid." Obviously, he doesn't want to be charged the real amount. And so the airline official, who knows that, you know, Eric Adams is a grifter, they know him over there, okay? The airline official was like, "Oh, hey, boo, okay, I can charge $50, winkie wink." And the staffer was like, "Okay, that's not enough." And then the airline official was like, "Well, how much do you want me to charge? Because obviously, we're not charging the real price, so winkie winkie smiley face," in the text. And you know you scheming Turkish Airlines if y'all talking via t- I ain't never talked to no airline official via text.

• 1:04:11Speaker 04

  No, everything should be via email. It should be on the, on the Hotmail. It should be on the dot org, like, where it's going on.

• 1:04:18Laci Mosley?

  I know when that Hotmail bling.

• 1:04:20Speaker 03

  Wait, so-

• 1:04:20Laci Mosley?

  They know I'm not doing those schemes.

• 1:04:22Speaker 03

  So they were trying to leave a paper trail, but they did it over text or email?

• 1:04:25Laci Mosley?

  They did some over email where he was emailing the staff like, I left you the cash to pay for this. And then they did some, the staffer did some via text like, hey, can you send us this invoice so that we can pay for this ticket? So in exchange for all these travel perks, Adam pressured the fire department to open the Turkish consulate building in Manhattan in time for a visit from Turkey's president, even though the building didn't pass fire inspections. So the building wasn't up to code. This was a fire hazard. But Turkey was like, can you tell them, like, don't worry about no little fire or whatever? This is New York City. Sometimes you die in a fire. Like, let them open the building. So Eric was putting that pressure on them to open the building because of all his free flights and boat trips.

• 1:05:11Laci Mosley?

  An FDNY official was told he would lose his job if he didn't open the building. So they said, do you want to open the building or do you want to open an unemployment application? Like, those are your choices. So other probes. Adam's administration is also the subject of four more federal probes involving over a dozen current and former staff members. The one probe we'll mention here involves Adam's ex-chief of staff, Frank Carone. Frank Carone is under investigation for shady business dealings with Pastor Jamie G. Gantellio.

• 1:05:48Speaker 04

  I can't trust a man of God who teeth look like that. That's...

• 1:05:52Laci Mosley?

  Stop it.

• 1:05:55Speaker 04

  God don't like...

• 1:05:56Laci Mosley?

  We prayed for Crest rice strips and God delivered, so...

• 1:06:00Speaker 04

  Whatever God he's into, don't believe in dental. I am upset, baby. That is, mm-mm.

• 1:06:08Laci Mosley?

  But you know what, though? If you're gonna keep people off your heels by stealing money, you can't have like a tricked out grip.

• 1:06:14Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:06:15Laci Mosley?

  Like, he might be on to something.

• 1:06:16Speaker 04

  Keep it humble. Keep it mindful. Keep it very mindful. Yes.

• 1:06:20Laci Mosley?

  He on the PJ with the yuck mouth, but he on the PJ?

• 1:06:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, you might be right on that. You're right.

• 1:06:26Laci Mosley?

  Like, he would be like, I'm not embezzling. Look at my mouth. Does my mouth say embezzlement?

• 1:06:31Speaker 04

  Look at my pores. It seems like I am of the people. Yes.

• 1:06:35Laci Mosley?

  Of the people. The pores of the people. Okay, the dentin' of the people.

• 1:06:41Speaker 04

  You're on it, Lacey. You're on it.

• 1:06:45Laci Mosley?

  The pastor faced disciplinary action from the church after allowing Sabrina Carpenter to film her racy feather music video in his Williamsburg church.

• 1:06:54Speaker 04

  She's the one who took him down.

• 1:06:56Laci Mosley?

  Now, why are we bringing my queen in? Why are we bringing my queen in?

• 1:07:02Laci Mosley?

  Sabrina Carpenter is an angel.

• 1:07:07Speaker 04

  Ooh.

• 1:07:07Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 1:07:08Speaker 04

  Blasphemous. Blasphemous. This is, that was shot in Brooklyn. I thought she was in Rome or something.

• 1:07:15Laci Mosley?

  No, apparently there's a very beautiful church in Williamsburg that Jamie, uh, G. Cantilio is the priest of, and he let this happen. Because he was doing a shady business deal with Frank Carone, who is Eric Adams' ex-chief of staff. So, follow the red string on the board here.

• 1:07:35Speaker 04

  You see it. It's all together.

• 1:07:36Laci Mosley?

  So, Eric Adams, Frank Carone, then we got our, our yuck-mouthed Jamie G. Cantilio, and then we got Sabrina Carpenter doing her, uh, racy, beautiful music video in a Williamsburg church.

• 1:07:50Speaker 04

  It's all connected.

• 1:07:51Laci Mosley?

  So, which obviously the church was like up in arms. I don't know why Sabrina's a baddie. I love me some espresso. Me espresso. The week of Adams' indictment, here's what Carpenter said onstage during her concert at Madison Square Garden.

• 1:08:05Speaker 04

  Oh, damn, what now? If she gives this man a shout-out, if she gives this man a shout-out.

• 1:08:13Laci Mosley?

  Sabrina?

• 1:08:14Speaker 07

  Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted, or?

• 1:08:23Laci Mosley?

  And then the music started.

• 1:08:25Speaker 04

  She a mess. I love that. And I like her short and sweet. She could do any, she can do no wrong, in my book.

• 1:08:31Laci Mosley?

  I was already liking, and I might have to stand up. I'm not a stand, but I might have to get on my feet for a second because Sabrina, that was like, how did she say? Uh, what now? I guess should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted? And then the music was like.

• 1:08:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:08:46Laci Mosley?

  She said, "One, two, I got the mayor indicted."

• 1:08:52Speaker 04

  LOL.

• 1:08:53Laci Mosley?

  Like, "One, two, he going to jail." Like, what? Not, "Oh my, he going to jail." Three, "Let's get this show started."

• 1:09:02Speaker 04

  That is wild.

• 1:09:02Laci Mosley?

  Come on, me espresso.

• 1:09:04Speaker 04

  It's crazy how it's all connected.

• 1:09:04Laci Mosley?

  I love it. It's all connected. Maybe the conspiracy theorists are right. Do I have tin foil on my head now? Maybe. I'mma get some. I'mma get some Reynolds and I'mma put it in my van.

• 1:09:16Laci Mosley?

  So, standing strong, we're wrapping up here. Many have called for Eric Adams to step down as mayor, but he said he's gonna step up instead.

• 1:09:30Laci Mosley?

  He's gonna dance to the community center.

• 1:09:32Speaker 04

  How can I be down when I'm always up?

• 1:09:34Laci Mosley?

  Okay, that's not like a Glorilla verse. He says, "Some say the sun don't shine, that's why I love tomorrow." Literally.

• 1:09:43Laci Mosley?

  Okay, he said, "At the end of the day, the day gonna end, and I'm still gonna be mayor."

• 1:09:47Speaker 04

  He said, "My soul got Viagra in it. Come on, stand up, attention."

• 1:09:53Speaker 03

  He said, "At the end of the day, the day gonna end, but my tenure won't, so..."

• 1:09:57Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:09:57Laci Mosley?

  Amen. A scam, okay? He pled not guilty to the charges and made multiple appearances at houses of worship, where he leaned on the support of church leaders, including Reverend Al Sharpton.

• 1:10:11Speaker 04

  Not my brother in Ozempic. What's up, sister?

• 1:10:14Laci Mosley?

  Yes, he said, "My brother, my brother in Zimpy." And Eric is quoted saying, "Sometimes you have to let go and let God."

• 1:10:23Speaker 04

  And, and, and, and Eric was like, "Sometimes I run, sometimes..."

• 1:10:30Speaker 04

  "Sometimes I'm scared of you."

• 1:10:33Laci Mosley?

  He said, "Sometimes you have to let go and let..." Fraud. I meant God. I meant God.

• 1:10:38Speaker 04

  Let go of, let go of what?

• 1:10:39Laci Mosley?

  We fall down, but we scam up.

• 1:10:44Speaker 04

  Stop it. I love that.

• 1:10:47Laci Mosley?

  For a saint is just a schemer who fell down. I could go on forever. That was for the church, girlies.

• 1:10:55Speaker 04

  That's merch. Can you put that? I want to see that on church.

• 1:10:57Laci Mosley?

  Fred Hammond, he might sue me. So, so he say, you know, he giving it to God. Adams told parishioners at a Bronx church, "When people say, 'You need to resign,' I say, 'I need to reign.'" He said, "Well, you said you need to resign. Go ahead and take out that S, because I need to reign, okay? Amen." So Adams himself faces up to 45 years in prison for his crimes if convicted, but he insists, this is him insisting, "I am innocent and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."

• 1:11:39Laci Mosley?

  With his political future in doubt, Adams has opened the door to returning to the Republican Party and has even begun embracing President-elect Donald Trump and some of his policies. It's speculated that Adams is thirsty for a presidential pardon. One member of Trump's transition team even joked, "It's kind of embarrassing, isn't it? How long until the actual begging and love letters start?"

• 1:12:07Speaker 04

  Yo, they said he's giving Tiger King. They said he's giving that energy. But yeah, he wants to be pardoned because he's not, he's not sorry and he don't want to go to jail for no 45 years.

• 1:12:19Laci Mosley?

  Sidney pegged it. She said he's like Trump.

• 1:12:22Speaker 04

  And Eric said, "He's..."

• 1:12:28Speaker 04

  He's like, "It's time to be with the Republicans. It's time to be with Trump. It's the only way." He's like, "I gotta, if I'm gonna get in, I gotta get in with the bad guys." Because he's already bad.

• 1:12:38Laci Mosley?

  He's already bad and his policies that he enacted in New York are already that of Republicans, like more protect and serve, more harass and kill. You know, so it's not like he's ever really been a Democrat. He just had to run on D because in New York, you're not getting elected on R. So, you know, he just was like, "I'm black and I'm a Democrat. Hee hee, kinda. Don't look too hard. Just see me at the club. Don't see what I'm writing into law, okay?" So... For me, this is a pivot that he's already kind of made in policy. And it makes sense because like if we already have a convicted felon president, he's like, let's have a convicted felon New York mayor. I think Trump would do this pardon just because, I mean, he pardoned Lil Wayne.

• 1:13:19Speaker 03

  Right.

• 1:13:19Laci Mosley?

  You know, like, why wouldn't he pardon Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City?

• 1:13:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I could see him doing it. I could also see him not doing it.

• 1:13:28Laci Mosley?

  Trump is very much like quick pro quo. He's like, what's in it for me? But since Trump has properties in New York and has interest in things in New York tax-wise, he might be up for it.

• 1:13:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:42Speaker 04

  I feel like Trump and Eric Adams have to play Fortnite for a couple of days in a row, and then he'll make his decision.

• 1:13:48Laci Mosley?

  All Eric Adams got to do is put on one of them hats. Like, Trump is so vain. Like, if he gets anybody who likes him, if Trump can call like two celebrity friends who aren't ugly, and they'll endorse Trump, Trump will be like, this is great. This is amazing. All the sexy celebrities love me.

• 1:14:03Speaker 04

  Wait, did you, hold on, you said that Trump is vain?

• 1:14:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:14:07Speaker 04

  Looking, looking like a melted stick of butter? You said he's vain?

• 1:14:12Laci Mosley?

  Baby, he thinks he looks good.

• 1:14:14Speaker 03

  He's very vain.

• 1:14:14Laci Mosley?

  He rubs that orange on every day, and he thinks that it looks good. He got a little bit of the dysmorph, and he thinks it looks good. With a T.

• 1:14:22Speaker 03

  Gooch.

• 1:14:23Laci Mosley?

  Period.

• 1:14:26Speaker 04

  I'm shaking, I'm shaking my damn head.

• 1:14:28Laci Mosley?

  Closing thoughts here?

• 1:14:30Speaker 03

  About Eric Adams and what's gonna happen to him?

• 1:14:32Laci Mosley?

  Yes, what do you think?

• 1:14:33Speaker 03

  You know, I saw him, he was, uh, speaking of him being everywhere all at once, he, uh, they were, they were like renaming my street, and Eric Adams was outside my house.

• 1:14:44Laci Mosley?

  No, no. Did you run?

• 1:14:47Speaker 03

  I was in the window like this.

• 1:14:48Speaker 04

  Marie, you trying to be First Lady of scams? What's up?

• 1:14:51Speaker 03

  Uh, not if we gonna have children together that rap like that.

• 1:14:57Laci Mosley?

  That's her only caveat.

• 1:14:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, my baby needs to have bars.

• 1:15:01Speaker 04

  Oh, my God.

• 1:15:03Laci Mosley?

  I feel like you could bring the bars to the genetics. You know, I thought I saw a photo of Marie with Eric Adams giving a thumbs up.

• 1:15:10Speaker 03

  If anything, I was going like this, I hit him with the Gladiator thumbs down.

• 1:15:15Laci Mosley?

  Marie, you know, your podcast, both of y'all's podcasts are amazing. Your podcast has been doing amazing. You've been international with it. And like, I was wondering, like, what, like, what really shot it up to the top? And, you know, I know it's your hard work and how hilarious you are, but it might also be your relationship with Eric Adams. Because I saw you on Turkish Airlines.

• 1:15:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, girl, I was in one of the pods. I was in, we closed the door on the plane when we sat down.

• 1:15:41Speaker 04

  I can't believe.

• 1:15:43Laci Mosley?

  No, those shades didn't fool me. The shades and, and the, and the hair wrap and the jacket didn't fool me.

• 1:15:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, the ladies had the little red wrap on, the flight attendants, you know, or is that Qatar? It doesn't matter.

• 1:15:53Speaker 04

  That's Qatar, friend, but.

• 1:15:55Laci Mosley?

  That's Qatar.

• 1:15:57Speaker 04

  I'm not mad at you for that. I'm not mad at you for that.

• 1:16:00Laci Mosley?

  Cindy, closing thoughts?

• 1:16:01Speaker 04

  Um, it just reminds me of like, you know, we did say that, oh, if we have evil white people, black people are allowed to be evil, but no, no, not like this. Eric is too sloppy with it.

• 1:16:15Laci Mosley?

  That's equality.

• 1:16:16Speaker 04

  He's too sloppy with it.

• 1:16:17Laci Mosley?

  It's not equality.

• 1:16:18Speaker 04

  If you are going to be like, oh, I'm gonna be just as bad as a, as a white man. It's like, be better. Like, he's too sloppy and messy with it. And it's just like, how could anybody look at Eric Adams and be like, I trust him. I trust him with my city. I trust him with finances, with documents. Nothing about him looks trustworthy. Not his suits.

• 1:16:40Laci Mosley?

  That Cheshire grin.

• 1:16:41Speaker 04

  Not his suits, not his shoes, not even the way he pronounces New York. I want no parks. And the fact that he's been able to, you know, gallivant around my city freely and then have his name connected, it's, it's actually embarrassing. I think I need, I, I might even have to go to Philly. I might have to do Philly or Boston.

• 1:17:02Speaker 03

  You're moving, you're moving.

• 1:17:03Laci Mosley?

  No, you don't leave.

• 1:17:04Speaker 04

  I might have to do Rhode Island. Someplace where there's dignity, respect.

• 1:17:07Laci Mosley?

  Sydnee Washington.

• 1:17:09Speaker 04

  Respect there, okay?

• 1:17:11Speaker 03

  Girl, bye.

• 1:17:13Laci Mosley?

  Sydnee Washington is the New York of Sydnee Washington, okay? You can't go anywhere. And I will say, final thoughts, I think he's gonna skirt away from this. Uh, skirt, skirt. And I also believe that black people are not gonna let this slide, though. So, he did a press conference right after he was indicted in a black neighborhood with black parishioners behind him. And there was a black man with a bullhorn who was like, "You are not black, you don't represent us." Because he was like, being like, "We have to gather my brothers and sisters to fight this ridiculous racism indictment." And they were like, "This isn't racism, you are..." You are a pervert.

• 1:17:52Speaker 03

  Saying that this is not a black thing. This is not a black thing. This is a youth thing. This is a youth thing, Eric Adams. This is not a... Your policies are anti-black. You are a threat to all black people in this city.

• 1:18:10Laci Mosley?

  And I love that for us.

• 1:18:11Speaker 04

  Love it, list it, want it.

• 1:18:13Laci Mosley?

  We're not supporting y'all's wrongs. We're not supporting your politician's wrongs, okay? I know. We support women's rights, we support women's wrongs, we do not support politicians' wrongs, okay? Y'all are getting paid to fuck us over and we're done with it.

• 1:18:25Speaker 04

  We don't, but then the election says, "We do." Like, not us.

• 1:18:29Laci Mosley?

  I don't, I'm not part of that.

• 1:18:30Speaker 04

  No, we don't, they do. But they do, that's what I'm saying. It's like, after, after seeing the, the chart and seeing who voted and seeing the map, it's like, "Oh damn, I got this all fucked up, I got it all wrong, I don't know what I, I don't know anymore. I have no clue."

• 1:18:47Laci Mosley?

  I predict after the inauguration of 45, that Eric Adams will be, you know, all these charges are gonna somehow disappear and he's gonna turn on Mary J. Blige, like, "I won't take my life, my life, just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine." And he gonna be dancing in the club and he's gonna be getting bottle service and having his Hennessy Kool-Aid wings and all the watermelon hookah he wants. And, you know, I don't love that for us. Um, I don't know if I love it.

• 1:19:22Laci Mosley?

  For him, but I just know that that's

• 1:19:24Speaker 04

  He's definitely gonna have Remy VSOP on tap. It's gonna be overflowing, lots of rocks glasses with no rocks in it, so.

• 1:19:33Laci Mosley?

  He might have, figure out how to find some Sir Davis. It's not gonna come directly from Beyonce, but like the straw. You know, like he was doing his straw.

• 1:19:41Speaker 04

  Honestly, if he gets a hand, his hand.

• 1:19:44Laci Mosley?

  He gonna get it from somebody else.

• 1:19:45Speaker 04

  Hand on some Sir Davis, I do believe that the hive will take him down. So maybe he does need to do that. I think they want no affiliation with him, so he actually should be caught with it. So they could take him down.

• 1:19:56Laci Mosley?

  He needs to offend the Swifties because they will mobilize, okay? They got geolocation, they got all the nuclear codes and like, we just need him to insult Tay Tay one time and we could get him up out of here.

• 1:20:08Speaker 03

  Oh my god, I can't believe.

• 1:20:10Laci Mosley?

  Thank y'all for being on this podcast and bringing very New York energy that I needed for this. I held this episode just for y'all.

• 1:20:17Speaker 04

  Lacey, I.

• 1:20:18Laci Mosley?

  And so I'm so glad we did it.

• 1:20:19Speaker 04

  I think we might even have to dethrone bacon, egg and cheese because what is my city?

• 1:20:25Laci Mosley?

  No.

• 1:20:25Speaker 04

  What is my city? You know, our mayors suck. We can't get our apartments now. And, um, you know, everything reminds me of like, I should be moving and I might, I just might, bitch, I might be.

• 1:20:37Speaker 03

  That's a lie.

• 1:20:38Laci Mosley?

  You already.

• 1:20:38Speaker 04

  Bitch, I might be.

• 1:20:40Speaker 03

  Sydney, where would you go? Where you gonna go? Exactly.

  So we always ask at the end of this podcast, and I've been talking about why are you single? When I say like Marie's dating show, so like, it's, it's amazing. Obviously Mess is also fantastic. I saw y'all on, um, Los Culturistas, loved it. And, and I'm praying for y'all because of the content. So y'all go look to see why I'm praying for them on their pages. But plug anything and everything that you got coming out and coming up that people can see you. Cause y'all need to, if you've been at the live shows or heard the live shows, y'all already know these are the queens. They're so hilarious. So you need to get into all their content.

• 1:21:28Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah, you gotta listen to Mess on, um, all platforms where podcasts pop up. Hopefully Eric Adams is listening to Mess in jail. Is he in jail?

• 1:21:38Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:21:39Laci Mosley?

  He's outside.

• 1:21:39Speaker 04

  He's outside.

• 1:21:41Laci Mosley?

  He's being the mayor.

• 1:21:42Speaker 04

  But I heard they're listening to podcasts in jail as well. So he, you know, when, if he ever gets inside of there, I would still hope that he would stay, stay strong with us.

And that's even more love when you steal it than if you pay for it, okay?

• 1:23:35Laci Mosley?

  Cause that takes more effort. If you want to watch me, January 2nd, I have a very fun character that you might see some connections to this podcast with. Going Dutch on Fox comes out. January 2nd and then Scam Goddess. Y'all asked for the visuals. I gave them to you. I traveled across America this past summer, like getting into these scams, getting to know the town, sitting down with scammers, sitting down with victims. It's very fun and unserious. And then sometimes it's a little serious. And you might be like, damn, I can understand how a fake Ghanaiian prince ran it up in this Ohio town. I'm telling you, it's wild and it's beautiful. That comes out January 15th on Freeform. It's always next day on Hulu.

• 1:24:19Laci Mosley?

  So you can watch Scam Goddess on Freeform and Hulu. Get my book Scam Goddess. If you can't get the signed copy, you can get it anywhere online. And then in America and Canada. Uh, I believe we're coming to the UK soon. Um, I'll let you know when that's available in bookstores in your country, but you can get it online. Congregation, get out there. And really, y'all gotta start letting, y'all really start, you know, we've been giving it up to God. But let's go ahead and start giving it up to fraud. Okay? Amen. A scam.
