Guys, I'm so what? Say it. Yes, excited, very excited for today's guest. And like, honestly, like, even more excited than normal, because this man helped me start the show. He is a producer, he is a writer, he is behind some of the things that you love so much. Robot Chicken, She-Hulk, which is about to pop. Y'all see in a minute, y'all go see Rick and Morty, honey. I got another Rick and Morty genius on the pod, honey. And I, this man literally introduced me to all the black people in LA that I know and love.

• 3:27Laci Mosley?

  I love him so much, he is a dear friend and a genius. Guys, we have Cody Ziegler.

• 3:32Speaker 04

  Yo, thanks for having me. It's, it's, you know, it's, it's so surreal being like, five years ago, we were meeting in fucking basement of UCB Sunset. Looking like, hey, you're, you're a Negro, I'm a Negro. What other Negroes do you know that do comedy? And can we introduce each other together?

• 3:46Laci Mosley?

  Can we all be Negroes together? Like, I just, it was very, and that's the thing. With black folks in any white space, we're always like, "Oh, what's up, King, is you right?" Like, we all like, kind of like do the nod to each other. And you're like, "What's up?" You know, it's so funny, I'm on iCarly now, and there's so many black people who work behind the camera.

• 4:07Speaker 04

  Oh, no shit, that's dope.

• 4:08Laci Mosley?

  Camera ops, the first A D is black. Um, there's a lot of black folks and one of our directors that we love so much Phil Lewis, he's black. And so sometimes like when they come around, we'd be like, you good?

• 4:20Laci Mosley?

  They treat us all good. So we like, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I love that.

• 4:24Speaker 04

  That's so dope. Yeah. I was like, oh my God, you're not, you're not Ego or you're not Kirby. There's a new black lady in town. Let's get it. Let's link up.

• 4:31Laci Mosley?

  Yo, one time I was at a performance at U C B and I had a show after the show, but I came a little early because I wanted to watch and Ego was performing. And then I went backstage and I won't say the comedian because I don't want the, I don't want y'all to be mean to them. There wasn't, it was, I guess innocent enough. But a big comedian came up to me and was like, it was a white woman. She was like, oh my God, you just killed it out there. And Ego was in the room. And I was like, bro, we not out. I didn't just, I'm about to go on. What you talking about?

• 5:00Speaker 04

  That happened to me once, like one of my first years there, like somebody was like, oh my God, you were so great last night. So funny. I was like, first of all, like I don't even like to perform. So I know you ain't talking about me. And then like through the, out the conversation, it's such stuff that they were talking about Lou Wilson. I was like, I was like, what?

• 5:14Laci Mosley?

  It's so funny. It happens all the time. Um, before we get into what's hot and fraud and your relationship with scams, Cody, I do have to tell you guys about something that happened to me last night.

• 5:24Speaker 04

  Oh, boy.

• 5:25Laci Mosley?

  Um, where I think that someone tried to run a scam on me. Okay. So I, y'all know I'm bi. I was dating this girl. She turned out to be real crazy. It wasn't even dating. We went on a couple, we, we hung out like two times. So let's be clear. But then she was sub tweeting me on Twitter and then when I talked to her about it, she sent me this sweetie take care meme and was going off on me for ignoring two texts of hers. It was a lot. Um, but I was like, you know what? I'm going to get back out there and I'm going to do it. So I got on Hinge and I, um, this is not an ad. And this guy was super cute and I was like, fuck it. So we started talking and at five o'clock, we started talking and then at like seven thirty eight, he was like, oh, what are you doing tonight?

• 6:09Laci Mosley?

  And I was like, ah, am I about to be the stranger? Stranger danger. So I was like, yes, I'm about to get with this stranger. So um, I had already made backup plans to meet up with um, Sydney, Washington, who I love.

• 6:27Laci Mosley?

  Listen to that podcast. It's amazing. I'm gonna be on it. So I knew I was gonna meet up with them later. So I was just like, oh, I'll just pop in. And he said he was meeting with friends at the place. So I was like, whatever. And it was outdoors. So I I go and it's a poppin' ass place. So there's no parking. But I have like parking aggression where I'm like, I will not walk. Like bitch, I will circle this block thirty times. Gonna leave. I pray to my parking gods. That's Priscilla. She has that parking juju. So I'm like, Priscilla, put it in my body and my car. And so I I'm driving down the street and I see a spot, but it's on the opposite side of the street. So I look both ways because I know I'm about to do something illegal, which I love to do. And I was like, I'm about to flip a bitch. So I flip a bitch and I get it, right? I'm waiting on the car to pull out.

• 7:12Laci Mosley?

  Someone pulls up behind me and puts on their blinkers and I was like, this is only one spot. And like, do you know that they was a holding it for you? Like, my head is racing because I'm like, this is my parking spot. So I pull in and then I'm getting ready to get out because I'm like, I don't know what this person's doing. They're still there. They walk up to my window and knock on my window, this woman. And when I tell you she was fully unhinged, her wig looked highly flammable. It was like insane. So I rolled out my window and she was a black woman. I rolled out my window and she's like, do you know you almost just killed me? And I was like, what are you talking about? And she was like, I was behind you and if I had hit you, I would have died. And I was like, girl.

• 7:53Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 7:54Laci Mosley?

  She was like, when you turned, I was driving normally and I was like, I put on my blinker so I could breathe.

• 8:01Laci Mosley?

  I do. I'm just saying. Which is why I was very insecure about it. So I was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. I thought I looked because I really looked because I was like, I'm doing illegal shit like, let me look. And she's like, I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Like I truly like, I thought that I looked really well and that I was just trying to grab this parking spot. I'm so sorry. And she was like, well, I don't need sorrys. You just need to drive careful because that was blah, blah, blah. So now I'm thinking she's just like a black lady wants to give me some black lady wisdom.

• 8:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, she covered it hot.

• 8:29Laci Mosley?

  For her road rage. So I was like, yes, queen. Yes, yes. Then she's like, you know, we almost collided. And I was like, okay, but we didn't. She was like, but the damage, she was like, the damage, like when I stopped so hard, like my car crunched up and it like didn't want to work. She had a little old car. Congregation, remind me when I post this episode, I will post something. I'll tell you in a second. So I was like, oh, okay. Like, I'm sorry your car crunched up.

• 8:57Laci Mosley?

  We didn't hit each other. You didn't hit me. So then she proceeds to walk away. She's behind me talking to some random person on the street, pointing at my car and shit. So now I'm like, let me just sit in my car and so this bitch leave. Cause now I'm like, she might key my shit or something. And I was shook. So I'm sitting there. And then she comes up behind my car and starts taking pictures of my license plate.

• 9:19Speaker 04

  No.

• 9:20Laci Mosley?

  And I'm like, bro, we didn't have an accident. We didn't have an accident. So now I'm thinking like, yo, cause she kept saying like the damage, the damage. And I was like, the what damage bitch? Like, ah, you didn't hit me. What are we talking about? So when she took a picture of my license plate, my scammer brain was like, uh oh, this bitch is gonna try to take a bat to the front of her car and say I did hit and run. So I got out and I took a picture of her and her license plate in the front of her car. And I will post that on Insta. Just remind me and I will.

• 9:48Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 9:49Laci Mosley?

  Bruh, she tried to scam me.

• 9:51Speaker 04

  That was like, oh, you could.

• 9:53Speaker 04

  That was what, cause you can see the buildup to the grift. Like, she's like, I was like, it's just like one step away from like, oh, my neck be hurting. Cause like I had to stop so fast, right? She might've had to brace in the car too. Like you lucky, you got it on fork in 4K.

• 10:05Laci Mosley?

  Bruh, like I, that's why I got out and took a picture. Cause I was like, ah, this feels like someone's about to try to scam me. Let me take a photo. I was so shook, but I'm also a bad driver. So I was like very insecure about that. I was like, I probably did almost kill you.

• 10:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, she didn't know that you had a weakness and that was just like driving wild.

• 10:24Laci Mosley?

  She got it. She got me. I was the right one for that. See, that's the thing about scams is like sometimes you get the right one and like that's how they pop off. And I was the right one for that scam. She picked on an insecurity that I have. But I didn't hit her and she was like, you didn't hear the sound. And I was like, girl, in LA, people honk or something. You did. There was no honk. There was no sound. What are you talking about?

• 10:45Speaker 04

  So what? She just dip out or she like?

• 10:47Laci Mosley?

  No, she waited after. And then after I took the picture, she got in her car and she still lingered and I just sat in my car and waited for her to leave. Cause I was like, I don't want this bitch to keep my car. And I drive a Mercedes. It's not like the nicest Mercedes. It's like a mid-class, you know?

• 11:01Speaker 04

  Just a mid-class Mercedes, you know how it is.

• 11:03Laci Mosley?

  It's not a G-Wagon, which I want, but

• 11:06Speaker 04

  Oh, my God.

• 11:07Laci Mosley?

  So I'm like, it's not giving a hundred thousand dollars. Like, girl, why do you think you about to get some coins off of me? Like, what's happening? So, yeah, I had to tell you about that, Cody, because I know you know.

• 11:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, look, I love some good goss. I love a good lazy beef. And I haven't had one in a while. I haven't had a lazy beef in a while. So like, I'm glad just to get a taste of it. That's all I need. I saw you popping off the other day on Twitter. I was like, oh, my God, this is about to be a

• 11:29Laci Mosley?

  Who not pop off on?

• 11:31Speaker 04

  I can't, I think you were subtweeting someone. I, I did. I texted to Edgar, just let him know, keep his hairs up in case a lazy beef does pop off, but

• 11:39Laci Mosley?

  Oh, I know what you're talking about. That's how he knew. Cause he texted me. I can't.

• 11:44Speaker 04

  Look, we are, we're watching your back, queen. We got you.

• 11:47Laci Mosley?

  Oh, my God. So, Cody, what is your relationship with scams?

• 11:52Speaker 04

  You know, I am a sweet boy. I would never scam anyone. Um, I, I, I'm a sweet southern gentleman. I will say I did for a time after college work at like a, a call center, not a telemarketing center, but if you're like one of those people that like happen to fuck up and fill out a survey or call those numbers that you get like at the end of receipt when you buy like a

• 12:12Laci Mosley?

  You're trying to rebrand, like, oh, not a telemarketing center, a call center, where we still do unsolicited calls that you don't want, but like it's better.

• 12:20Speaker 04

  Nah, see, I'm about, nah, I'm about to turn it on and say, just, just stick it with me, right? Just, just, just, just hear me out. So I work at those places. If you like, bought like a microwave or some shit from like Best Buy and you filled out like the little number that's like, go to like www.bestbuy.com and felt the survey. We're the people that will call you to see how like that service was. Like that was the whole thing. Job sucked ass, but I needed money. So like the, the basic premise is you come in, you see, you have to work there. Four days a week and one of those days have to be on a weekend and like, you know, ain't nobody, yeah, you know, nobody wants to talk to a fuck.

• 12:50Laci Mosley?

  We're living for the weekend. What's this song?

• 12:52Speaker 04

  Exactly. Yeah.

• 12:55Speaker 04

  Ain't nobody trying to talk to you on a Sunday at three o'clock. So like, my whole thing was like, I found out pretty early on, this is a temp job. So like, I really didn't give a fuck, but like, I found out. Like two weeks in that like, if you had your keyboard set up a certain way, like if you had like. The caps lock, the number lock and whatever the other lock is like, it makes like three like flashing buttons. If you hit those on, you could see when like your like supervisor was listening to your call. So like. We had to hit like a certain quota. You had hit like 10 a day or whatever. But if you, you could dick around in between those times. So like basically what I would do is like. I set up my keyboard to see like when someone be listening in and whenever they listen in, I started doing work. So like, I spent most of the day like. Drawing like little doodles, drawing Spiderman and shit, like looking up stuff on Instagram, like just chilling.

• 13:38Speaker 04

  And like whenever they cut, they pop over, I would, I would call. So like. What I'm saying is like, I wasn't scamming. I was scamming the scammers. So like in a way I was woke. I was taking them down from the inside for those nine dollars an hour.

• 13:49Laci Mosley?

  You were a revolutionary. You were.

• 13:51Speaker 04

  I was doing it. I was doing my thing.

• 13:53Laci Mosley?

  Cause people don't want to be called at dinner or now they call all times of the motherfucking day and. I am on some student loan hotline.

• 14:01Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 14:02Laci Mosley?

  And now these niggas are blowing me up. And when I tell you it's from every direction, I keep blocking the numbers when they call and then they call from a different number.

• 14:10Speaker 04

  Well, they do that fuck shit where they, they call from like a number that looks like it's from somewhere where you grew up, like it'll have the same area code. And maybe the first three digits of like.

• 14:18Laci Mosley?

  A lot of two one fours, a lot of two one fours calling me.

• 14:21Speaker 04

  And then like the last four numbers are just like random. It's like, what this is, no one has this number where I'm from. So like you flex on the answer. Like you just gotta block it.

• 14:29Laci Mosley?

  Yo, I know, oh my god, that's a great scam, cuz like, I told you guys, we're also anti-capitalists here. Like, if you work at a job, and we were talking about this on Twitter, if you work at a job that you hate, and it's just a big company, if you're ready to quit, you don't have to give them fucking notice? Would they give you notice if they fired you? No, just quit that bitch, leave that bitch. I've done that, I've quit mid-shift, I was like, okay, bye. Like, I was working at a restaurant and they didn't wanna let me off. I was working like, full-time, they tricked me into working full-time, they just kept giving me shifts, and I'm an idiot, and I just kept taking them. And, my grandpa was having his eightieth birthday party, my mom threw it, it was ridiculous. There was like, a valet, there was servers, it was at our home, which I was like, mom's so extra. There was an ice sculpture.

• 15:12Speaker 04

  Oh shit.

• 15:13Laci Mosley?

  And it had a luge on it, and so we were like, taking shots from the ice sculpture at my grandpa's eightieth. It was fucking lit, and my grandpa's no longer with me. So I'm so glad that I left that job to go see my family, because at the end of the day, I wish that we could get ourselves like Europeans, like, you know, people in France and shit, where like, work is not the way to live. Life is about connections, it's about family, it's about experiences. And work is just what you do so you can eat and have a roof over your motherfucking head, it shouldn't be your life.

• 15:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly, like, no one, like, for me, like, I'm lucky now that like, I've been lucky enough to like, love the jobs that I have been doing for the past couple of years, but like, even then, like, you know, I'm not trying to work forty-hour weeks to see my loved ones for twenty-four, for forty-eight over the weekend or whatever, twenty-four, whatever it is over the weekend, like, that's just not, like, I'm not here to do that, like, that's not what I'm trying to do, and like, the only job I've ever quit, like, just on the spot mid-shift too, was like, I was working at this place called Food Line, it was like a grocery store in North Carolina. Like, you know, you get like, the MVP cards, or whatever, you can swipe people through, or like, get them credits and shit, or off the stores.

• 16:16Laci Mosley?

  I don't know nothing about that, but I want to.

• 16:18Speaker 04

  Oh yeah, it's like, like, you know, it's basically like a Kroger card, like, you get like, discounts or whatever off, like, you get three dollars off of your fucking ground beef or whatever, like.

• 16:26Laci Mosley?

  Right, cuz they're tracking your spending behavior, so that they can collect data on the store and what to order and shit, yeah. I try, I actually use the store card on every store, cuz I'm petty, and I don't want them to know, but I still get the discount.

• 16:39Speaker 04

  I was the dude that was like swiping the card for you. It's like, all right, cool. Like, we're all in college. Like, you ain't got no money. Let me go ahead and swipe this. The company don't care. Like, they're giving these out for free. I swiped and like my supervisor just saw that and she was like, she started like yelling at me like in front of this customer being like, why are you doing this? I told you not to do this. Why are you swiping this card? It got so bad that the customer was like, yo, why are you yelling at this guy? Like, he's, I asked him to do it. Like, I didn't bring my card. And she was like, you hold up, I'm talking to him. Like, you're just great. Just tear my asshole out in front of this dude.

• 17:06Laci Mosley?

  What a hater. And that's not a hater job. Like, girl, but did you lose money from the store that you don't own? Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

• 17:14Speaker 04

  You from the food line family? Why do you care? Like, I just like look at her.

• 17:17Laci Mosley?

  Boss bitch?

• 17:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 17:19Laci Mosley?

  Are you Mr. Food Line? Like, what's happening?

• 17:22Speaker 04

  Why are you tripping over two seventeen? I was just like, yo, I'm like, I'm graduating in two months. I don't need this shit. And I just quit and walked out. But like, I, anyone listening to this that has a bullshit ass job that you don't want to work and someone's giving you grief, fucking quit that bullshit ass job because they will fire you in a heartbeat. They ain't giving you two weeks.

• 17:36Laci Mosley?

  Mm hmm. And also, if you hate your bullshit ass job, just know there's plenty of bullshit ass jobs that you can go to and, you know, like, get tired of them too. You could go to a billion jobs. Like, you don't gotta, don't stay if you, if you tired, okay? And also, it's such a powerful moment when you have like asshole managers who are bootlickers for the company. You just leave them.

• 18:00Speaker 04

  Yeah. Like, seeing someone scramble to call us or want us to cover your shift is the best feeling in the world.

• 18:05Laci Mosley?

  Because I threatened to quit once at my horrible job, which I just went to a reunion for all of the servers at this restaurant. Because it was like they picked like hot, cool people to like slave them, basically. I was a sushi hoochie. And, um, and it was intense. Like, I would get chits and like chits are basically like a little piece of paper that says like, this guest is really important and this is what they like and this is what they want. And so I would get that and then be like, oh, I have to set up their chopsticks with this thing on the table or oh, they want Yamazaki eighteen on the table before they arrive. Like, all this extra shit, right? And my manager was just like a horrible person who would nag you even if you weren't doing shit. Like he would come to me like, hey, Lacey, I noticed that your wagyu beef sales are down. I'm like, bitch, I'm an actor. I'm just trying to get some points. I don't give a fuck if my wagyu sales are down.

• 18:50Speaker 04

  I hate the beef plug. What are you talking about?

• 18:53Laci Mosley?

  You don't sell the beef, bitch. Like, what?

• 18:56Speaker 04

  Like, get the cut.

• 18:57Laci Mosley?

  Right, exactly. He had, he was getting a cut. And then when I, I told you I already threatened to quit. So then when my grandpa's idiot came up, I was like, look, if I can't go, I'm gonna have to quit. And they were like, you threatened to quit once and we accommodated you. So they thought I was bluffing. I was like, okay, bye.

• 19:12Speaker 04

  No, no, wait, wait, wait. I was joking. They're like, no, I'm out.

• 19:15Laci Mosley?

  When I say I'm gonna quit, I'mma quit.

• 19:19Laci Mosley?

  It's not a threat. You did what I wanted, so I didn't quit. But if you don't, when I say I'mma quit, I'mma quit.

• 19:24Speaker 04

  Yeah, like, I ain't got nothing to lose. You don't give a damn. I don't give a fuck. I'm out.

• 19:27Laci Mosley?

  Right. I'm a scammer. I scammed my mom yesterday. I needed a new phone and I'm still on my parents' plan because generational wealth. And I'm not an authorized purchaser. So when I went to AT&T, which, oh my God, AT&T customer service, you raggedy bitch. Inside the store, amazing. When you call, hell. And I couldn't get authorized. So after a while, I was like, fuck it. Cause like my dad tried to help me, but he was golfing and we thought it was done and it wasn't. And my dad was like, I'm trying to finish a golf round. Hurry the fuck up. He was like cussing at the guy. I was like, oh, this is a lot. And so finally I just got on the phone with them. I was in the store. And I was like, hi, this is Lori Bishop.

• 20:09Speaker 04

  Oh, boy. Oh, no, you did not.

• 20:12Laci Mosley?

  And my mom texted me and was like, hey, I just got off my work thing. I'm gonna authorize you now. And I was like, nah, I'm already scammed it. I just said I was you. It's cool, right? It's cool.

  So let's get into our first segment. What's hot in fraud? This is where we warn listeners about scams that are popping in the streets. Or more often than not, we get a listener letter and we expose you and your friends and family. So guys, if you want to snitch on your friends and family, [email protected]. All I ask is that you make sure the scam is retired. We don't want to fuck up your bag. And also if there's a statute of limitations, maybe wait or tell me to delete the email when I get it, you know? Okay. Some of y'all do that. So I'm like, ew. Cody, give me a fake name for this person. We don't care about gender on this show. It's a construct.

• 23:54Speaker 04

  Billy Longsworth.

• 23:58Laci Mosley?

  Billy Longsworth.

• 23:58Speaker 04

  Good improv name.

• 23:59Laci Mosley?

  Wow. It is. It truly is. So Billy says, I am what excited to be sending you this email.

• 24:10Laci Mosley?

  Okay. Um, and then there's like some, I'll read this. I never read the nice stuff, but I'll read it. I just don't like to like, be like reading nice stuff.

• 24:18Speaker 04

  You need it. You earned it.

• 24:20Laci Mosley?

  But it says, I know you won't read this part, but I'm a big fan of the show and just heard that you're going to be on iCarly. Iconic. I read it. Okay. Um, maybe I read it so that you guys know that I'm on iCarly. Okay. So let's get to it. A few years back, I was looking for a job as a nanny using care.com, which is a popular website where people can apply for babysitting and nanny jobs. I love that you are, you know, we know what care.com is, but I love the clarification.

• 24:45Speaker 04

  Explain the, I love it.

• 24:46Laci Mosley?

  A thorough king or queen or, or royalty.

• 24:51Speaker 04

  You know what?

• 24:51Laci Mosley?

  Hey Billy. So, um, after creating my nanny profile, I got a weird text message. You know how scams kind of have their own scammy language? Yes, I do. That's a new language scam. Cause it is a language. Okay. And I'm fluent.

• 25:07Laci Mosley?

  I couldn't just tell if it was fishy from the beginning or like she's saying like I could tell it was fishy from the beginning rather excuse me. Basically, the person texting me said that they were helping their sister who was about to move to town, find a nanny. They offered to pay some exorbitant amount of money per week that was what most families would offer in a month. Okay.

• 25:27Speaker 04

  First red flag.

• 25:28Laci Mosley?

  If you were lucky. So I knew it was fishy, so I ignored it. But continue to get texts from different numbers that were almost identical. Being curious, ooh, you love scams and I love you, Billy. I decided to play along with it for a little while to see what the scam could possibly be. After responding with interest in quotes, the scammer said that they would send a big check for me to get groceries and household essentials for the family moving into town. After doing some research and learning that this is a very popular scam. It seems that the scammer would ask the scammy to pay back some of the money, which of course was from a fake check, meaning you would end up paying them out of your own pocket. I think there are a few variations of the scam out there. Look out. So we've talked about the scam a billion times.

• 26:10Laci Mosley?

  And we talked about it in the workplace where that someone will email you and pretend to be your boss. We talked about it in, you know, artistry spaces like Etsy when I told you guys that my sister literally fell for this scam. Where her friend was like, somebody wants to buy my art, but I don't want my parents to know it's in my bank account. Will you deposit it and I'll give you some of the money like. And my sister doesn't need money. Um, but like, so I've seen this happen a billion times. And I picked this letter because yeah, we've already talked about the scam a bunch, but I just want you guys to know that any medium. Any medium where it's like Indeed, monster.com, Craigslist, care.com, any medium.

• 26:55Laci Mosley?

  Where you see someone who's trying to pay you an exorbitant amount of money, but they want to do it in a check, especially an e-check.

• 27:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:02Laci Mosley?

  Like, don't do it, especially if they're like, here's the kicker, if they're like, give me some of the money back.

• 27:10Laci Mosley?

  Cause like a check is something you can write for the exact amount. So why are you sending me more money than what I need?

• 27:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's one of those things that's too good to be true. Then also you're like desperate for money like you like. That's the kind of gig where like you need like you need a paycheck, a paycheck, need a little paycheck to get some shit done.

• 27:29Laci Mosley?

  And they know that and that's what disgusts me about this scam because I'm all for scamming rich people. I'm all for scamming capitalists. But when you're going on a website where someone is trying to get sitter jobs or something like that. A lot of times those jobs are something that holds you over. If you're an au pair and a professional nanny or whatever, that's different. That's your profession. But if you're just doing it to get some coins to get where you're trying to go, those sites like are ripe for scammers. So anytime you're working in any kind of like side hustle job, you have to be fully aware that someone may try to scam you because it is happening more and more.

• 28:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, they'll get you, especially now that everyone's logged on and they have to be like checking emails and doing work through online shit.

• 28:10Laci Mosley?

  Mm hmm. With the zoom age, which zoom came up in the pandemic.

• 28:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, they got their coin.

• 28:16Laci Mosley?

  I feel bad. You know what it is? Zoom feels like to me what happened with Netflix and Blockbuster. Blockbuster was where the girls went on the weekends and they got their chocolate covered raisins. And their love in basketball DVDs or tapes, depending on how old you are. And then Blockbuster didn't realize the world was changing and them bitches did never evolve. So then Netflix, right? The Netflix was like, okay, so we gonna start as Blockbuster, but then we gonna be Blockbuster the app. And it's like, well.

• 28:48Speaker 04

  And then we gonna flex, we gonna, we gonna flex so hard that we're gonna have a documentary that we make about how we put Blockbuster out of business. That's what Zoom do. That's what Zoom's about to do to Skype. Like y'all thought you were, you thought y'all were doing something.

• 28:59Laci Mosley?

  Zoom got their foot on Skype's neck, honey. Like it's over for Skype. Skype where? Skype where? Like we don't Skype. I don't even know how to get on there.

• 29:08Speaker 04

  You're gonna get that app no more?

• 29:10Laci Mosley?

  No, and I don't even have a Zoom account. I just scam and use other people's. I'm like, let's do a Zoom meeting.

• 29:17Speaker 04

  Yeah. Let's get that Sirius XM Zoom going.

• 29:22Laci Mosley?

  Literally. But all right, guys, it's time for historic hoodwinkings, honey. This is my favorite part of the show. I will regale Cody with a famous story about a charlatan or a group of criminals or whatever, you know? And we don't know if we like them. We don't know if we like them. We'll decide at the end. And I just have to say that many quotes from this research, shout out to Cheryl and Vera, are from an interview in a Vice article by Jamie Tate. And that's spelled J A M I E T A E T E. Okay, we like to give credits here. We're not going to scam the writers. Okay?

• 30:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 30:00Laci Mosley?

  It's not all from Jamie, but Jamie, girl, God bless you. So, a thirty-three-year-old man has legally changed his name from Justin Allen Craig to Lafayette Ron Hubbard.

• 30:12Speaker 04

  Already a scam. Already a scam. It's already off the rails.

• 30:16Laci Mosley?

  When you changing your name.

• 30:18Speaker 04

  Lafayette what?

• 30:19Laci Mosley?

  You're a scammer. Like, anybody who changes their name, other than getting married to someone and changing the last name, like, you are a scammer. If you change your first name, we know you're doing crime.

• 30:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, Lafayette's a swing, too. Like, that, that has, like, character to it.

• 30:34Laci Mosley?

  Lafayette? Child, I'm already.

• 30:38Speaker 04

  I'm already, I cannot wait to see what this goes.

• 30:41Laci Mosley?

  So he changed it to Lafayette Ron Hubbard, basically making him L. Ron Hubbard. You know where we're at.

• 30:46Speaker 04

  Oh, wait, are we? Oh, I'm in. I'm in. Let's go, baby. Let's go.

• 30:52Laci Mosley?

  So the official Church of Scientology isn't buying this story. I'm, okay, so how we're going to refer to this is like, the new, still alive L. Ron Hubbard, the Lafayette Ron Hubbard, we're going to call him Lafayette. And the deceased one who started Scientology, we will call him L. Ron Hubbard.

• 31:11Speaker 04

  Gotcha, okay.

• 31:12Laci Mosley?

  So that everyone can follow the story. We got it. So this Lafayette is obviously not the L. Ron Hubbard who wrote the sci-fi novels and founded the Church of Scientology, because he died in nineteen eighty-six, right?

• 31:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, he'd been dead.

• 31:24Laci Mosley?

  Ultimate scammer. He, honestly, L. Ron Hubbard made me. L. Ron Hubbard made me feel like, oh, God, I can't believe I'm saying this. My mom's going to kill me.

• 31:34Speaker 04

  Oh, boy.

• 31:36Laci Mosley?

  Was Jesus a scam?

• 31:39Laci Mosley?

  Because L Ron Hubbard basically did what Jesus did. He's dead and all his stuff is living on and I'm like,

• 31:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, he is. He was the archetype. He was like, yo, we're gonna have a navy. Got it. We gonna have buildings in every city. Got it. We gonna be posted up in Florida scam capital of the US, by the way, Florida. Like,

• 31:56Laci Mosley?

  Oh, yeah.

• 31:57Speaker 04

  You know what he was doing. You knew what he was doing.

• 32:00Laci Mosley?

  I love Florida simply like because of the fact that they are lawless. Florida's like, we're doing what we want. Like pandemic, where like, like Florida was the first state to open up and I'm not sure if they ever closed.

• 32:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't think they closed.

• 32:15Laci Mosley?

  They didn't close. They were like, we ready to die.

• 32:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, y'all gotta, y'all gotta leave at eight, but you can come back at seven tomorrow. It's all good. We go to you.

• 32:22Laci Mosley?

  Florida was like, we got a competition at the bar tonight. Who can take the most spit in their mouth from strangers? Like, they were like, we don't give a fuck about the pandemic. Bruh, Florida's wild. The only reason we haven't cut them bitches off of America is because the beaches are hot and the women are beautiful.

• 32:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, you need it. They've earned their keep, you know?

• 32:45Laci Mosley?

  Miami is holding Florida down because otherwise we would have just shipped that penis shaped extrament off of the US.

• 32:53Speaker 04

  It's carrying Florida on his shoulders.

• 32:55Laci Mosley?

  Right. But I will also say this. Anytime you see like a Florida man store or anything online, just know that Florida has different laws about privacy when it comes to doing crime and stuff. So they can publicize anything you do with your mugshot in that state. And so that's why we see so many Florida man did this, Florida man did that. Cause some other states have more restrictive laws about like airing niggas out, but

• 33:22Speaker 04

  Don't give a fuck.

• 33:23Laci Mosley?

  Honestly, Florida should do that because they're so fucking ratchet. Like you gotta put everybody on notice about some shit. If somebody's eating someone's face, you gotta be like, hey y'all, don't go down Miami Dade street.

• 33:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, just like, no, we do things a little bit different down here. We built different.

• 33:37Laci Mosley?

  It's a face eating man on the, on the block. Like, you know, they gotta warn the, the community, which is fair. So this Lafayette is thirty three years old, same age as Jesus.

• 33:48Speaker 04

  Jesus.

• 33:51Laci Mosley?

  Okay. Lives in a small town in Washington state and claims to be the other L Ron Hubbard, but in a new body.

• 33:59Speaker 04

  Oh shit. Oh, a picture just popped up. Oh my God.

• 34:02Laci Mosley?

  And like city girls, like what they say, you, you fuck the old body, this the new body. Okay. And Lafayette was like, this the new body.

• 34:11Speaker 04

  This man could not look like more of a scammer. He could not look like more of a scammer.

• 34:15Laci Mosley?

  Definitely a scammer. Is that a hand tattoo?

• 34:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm trying to see what it says.

• 34:19Laci Mosley?

  Can we zoom in on the hand tattoo? I'm confusion. Okay, we can't read it, but it's got some like, it looks.

• 34:25Speaker 04

  It makes me, I'm not saying.

• 34:26Laci Mosley?

  Those are characters. It's either Japanese characters or Chinese characters.

• 34:29Speaker 04

  Well, let's see, I couldn't tell if it was a racist hand tattoo or not. I, I, cause he looks like he could be racist, but he could also be a woke king. I don't know.

• 34:36Laci Mosley?

  Right. He could literally storm the capital or he could be like giving a speech to the white people at the BLM rally. Like, I don't know. He's got on this button down and these glasses. It's elusive. He doesn't look anything like L. Ron Hubbard. And why is L. Ron Hubbard over here writing with a?

• 34:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, why? He got a quill.

• 34:54Laci Mosley?

  He got a quill, bro.

• 34:56Speaker 04

  Them lies in ink, so you know it's real.

• 34:58Laci Mosley?

  Yo, Marina screenshot this, cause I'm supposed to say Instagram too, so y'all can see, cause I am confusion about this quill, okay? He's got some characters on his hand. Uh, white people, and also just anybody who's non-Asian. And we all know there's been a fuck ton of shit happening to our Asian-American brothers and sisters, you know? And I'm always with you guys. I was at the rallies. I'mma be at the rallies, but.

• 35:25Laci Mosley?

  It's so funny to me when people who are not someone who is from the ethnicity or speaks the language, gets like a Japanese tattoo with the Japanese characters or like a Chinese tattoo.

• 35:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:38Laci Mosley?

  No Chinese character. What, what are you doing?

• 35:41Speaker 04

  It's such a big swing because like, uh, like, there's like maybe an, the, the asterisk next to that would be like, if you like, studied this and like, you're really in that culture, that's one thing, but like, I'd say that's very few and far between. It's usually like some white dudes and like our black brothers and sisters, like we gotta stop getting those tattoos too, like, come on now. You can't, you need to appropriate.

• 36:00Laci Mosley?

  And it's not, yeah, it's appropriation, but it's also like, you don't speak that language. So how do you know your tattoo artist isn't a scammer? Because remember when Ariana Grande basically got barbecue tattooed on her?

• 36:12Speaker 04

  Right, yeah.

• 36:13Laci Mosley?

  It's like, why would you, why would you submit yourself to that? If you don't speak Sanskrit, like, why the fuck are you putting it on your body?

• 36:22Speaker 04

  They're trying to have a hot boy summer.

• 36:24Laci Mosley?

  But at the same time, I love little hot girl tattoos. So I'm like, yeah, get those little hot girl tattoos. They're cute, you know, boys and girls. I love it. I love it for you. So I'm not saying stop. I'm just saying, maybe, I don't know.

• 36:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, get a different aesthetic. You can choose something that matches with you. You can still be hot, but not get like a, a.

• 36:41Laci Mosley?

  Right. Cause it's like Harigana, Katana, Kanji, Shi. There's a lot of characters, even just in Japanese language. So it's like, bruh, are you sure what you got on you says what you think it is?

• 36:53Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't be trusting that Google Translate.

• 36:56Laci Mosley?

  No, you can't trust Google Translate. Cause I speak Spanish and sometimes I'll like forget a word cause I don't get to speak it often enough and I'll Google it and sometimes it'll give me some shit that I'm like, that ain't it.

• 37:06Speaker 04

  They have you out here talking crazy. I'm like, uh, no, no, no, I don't remember that.

• 37:11Laci Mosley?

  Right. I'm like, I'm like, can I have some more bread? And then I Google translated and it's like, esto es la biblioteca. I'm like, that means I'm at the library. What are we doing?

• 37:20Speaker 04

  It's paying, right? Let me get that paying. Come on, I got that one.

• 37:23Laci Mosley?

  What are we doing? Oh my God. So in a Skype call with a reporter, Lafayette talked about his tattoos. He says, I have a cross of Scientology here, pointing at his right arm and gesturing to his left. So we saw him. He has tattoos.

• 37:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, you got him.

• 37:37Laci Mosley?

  He said, I have the infinity symbol on my forehead, which is a cover up of something else I got in prison. Hmm. You got a prison tattoo? Oh.

• 37:45Speaker 04

  You know, that was a swastika. I'm telling you, I don't know.

• 37:47Laci Mosley?

  It absolutely was.

• 37:49Speaker 04

  Was a swastika. I'm telling you.

• 37:50Laci Mosley?

  Because he's saying that he got, uh, what did he get over the tattoo in prison? He's saying that he got a.

• 37:58Speaker 04

  Infinity.

• 38:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah. So like, what's the affinity? It's like that eight kind of thing?

• 38:03Speaker 04

  He has like a sideways eight. Yeah.

• 38:05Laci Mosley?

  So hmm, could that have covered up a swastika? Trying to think.

• 38:09Speaker 04

  I think, I mean, I can't also, I can't imagine that the handmanship of a prison tattooist is like.

• 38:14Laci Mosley?

  Right. It's gotta be stick and poke. Yeah. And maybe it was small and it was like a swastika and then he just put an infinity over it. Yeah. But when you go to prison, like even if you weren't a problematic white person, you gotta, you gotta join the Aryan gang. What else you gonna do?

• 38:31Speaker 04

  You gotta, you gotta get radicalized. You either. If you're black, you become Muslim. If you're white, you become an Aryan. That's just how it is.

• 38:38Laci Mosley?

  When you go to prison, you gotta be like, they will not replace us.

• 38:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, blood and soil, right? Yeah.

• 38:45Laci Mosley?

  Lord Jesus. So in Scientology, there's a belief that our souls are infinite. Lafayette said, let's just say I was a member of a certain prison gang at one time. He would not specify which.

• 38:56Speaker 04

  I think we know which one, yeah.

• 38:58Laci Mosley?

  We know.

• 38:58Speaker 04

  We got you, King.

• 39:00Laci Mosley?

  Listen, you was white. I love that you're embarrassed, so you won't say it. But you was white in prison. Like, prison is a bad, stupid place that people have created to validate doing slavery still.

• 39:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, at least he's.

• 39:13Laci Mosley?

  We'll just enslave everybody, but we'll mostly incarcerate black and brown people. And then they'll make license plates for 10 cents a day.

• 39:20Speaker 04

  We'll pay you 7 cents a day. At least he's embarrassed. At least he knows that he should be embarrassed about being a Nazi gang.

• 39:25Laci Mosley?

  I love that about him. Yes. So, but also prison is survival. Like, if I had to go to prison and for some reason the white Nazi girls were like, hey, we'll protect you. I'd be like, well, you know, hell. Satan, hell Satan, who we?

• 39:39Speaker 04

  I got you. Look, I'm trying to survive. I can't do time. I ain't got no bodies on me. I gotta do what I gotta do. I feel you. I respect it.

• 39:46Laci Mosley?

  Right. I would fully be Clayton Bigsby. I'm like, yeah, I hate black people. Like, what I, what I gotta do? Like, I just wanna live. So I get it. So, a brief history of scams in Scientology. We're gonna give you a quick rundown. The Church of Scientology says the most Scientologists remember past lives. Okay, so Lafayette ain't wrong. L. Ron Hubbard himself claimed to have lived previous existences as a British imperialist and as a mogul, Cecil Rhodes, and a tax collector in an ancient Rome setting, right? And an alien race car driver in a distant Gallic.

• 40:20Speaker 04

  That's my dude. He's talking that talk.

• 40:23Laci Mosley?

  A distant galactic civilization. So, in the six, then like in 1960s, so like the 60s, his followers were convinced by his tales of past lives. He was allegedly able to lead an expedition to dig up treasure he buried during a previous life. No treasure was found.

• 40:39Speaker 04

  Oh shit. Yeah, that's a lot. You can't be, you gotta commit.

• 40:42Laci Mosley?

  Yo, L. Ron is a fucking amazing scammer. He was like, come on, y'all, we're gonna find this treasure that he knew wasn't there.

• 40:48Speaker 04

  It's like 300 more feet. It's 300 more feet.

• 40:50Laci Mosley?

  Right, it's three hundred more feet, or he was like, damn, somebody dig my shit up from my past life.

• 40:56Speaker 04

  Damn, you know what happened? Someone must have remembered my other pastor, Miriam, and they got here first, damn. I hate to even do that to you.

• 41:02Laci Mosley?

  He was like, I did a time capsule for y'all, but somebody done dug our shit up, god damn. I love this for everyone. So, there are at least two mansions in California that are maintained and staffed and stocked with food in the event of L. Ron Hubbard's return.

• 41:18Speaker 04

  Oh shit.

• 41:19Laci Mosley?

  Wow, talk about power. You are dead dead, and people are still like, well, when you come back, we got the loaves and fishes.

• 41:26Speaker 04

  He got staff, like, they're like, they're niggas like rubbing down the silverware right now because he might be popping back in. I need that. I need that.

• 41:34Laci Mosley?

  Right, I need that too. That power. I want that founding fathers' power because I fucking hate anytime I'm on Twitter or anywhere in the news, when people are like, well, the founding fathers wanted us to have, I'm like, them niggas are dead. They've been dead for three hundred plus years. They were racist, bigots, slavers, pedophiles with wooden teeth. Why do you give a fuck about what George Washington wants you to have in America? He is deady dead dead.

• 42:05Speaker 04

  That nigga didn't, he didn't even have iPhone, like, he didn't have electricity, like, he, we don't need to know what he looks like, he planted.

• 42:11Laci Mosley?

  How you gonna give us advice? He didn't even have lights.

• 42:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, he didn't even have, he didn't have Netflix, what are you talking about?

• 42:18Laci Mosley?

  Right, he didn't know about USB cords. He definitely didn't know about the cloud. Like, why would you listen to him?

• 42:24Speaker 04

  He never sold ninety day fiance, what are you talking about? We don't need that.

• 42:27Laci Mosley?

  And you know what, though? They were good scammers because they put the elasticity clause in the Constitution, which was basically like, well, if shit changes, like, y'all can like freshen this shit up. So everyone's like, oh my god, the elasticity clause, we can freshen shit up, they're such geniuses. It's like, bitch, they just knew that they were in the olden times and didn't have shit, and they probably saw the wheel get invented and were like, oh, new technology, like, we gotta prepare for that, like.

• 42:52Speaker 04

  We could use that to exploit some brown people, let's go ahead.

• 42:54Laci Mosley?

  The founding fathers are just tech bros and pedophiles. Like, come on now, we don't, we don't need to do this.

  And fraud. So L Ron Hubbard was under investigation multiple in like multiple countries and often lived on a ship to evade anyone's jurisdiction. So you brought up the ship before and I it's so funny. I've watched Going Clear. I've watched all these documentaries and I thought I really understood Scientology, but this is a very key part for me that I didn't know, which is that this nigga was on international waters so that he couldn't get arrested.

• 46:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, like he like I can't remember what they were called like they had like the it's like they had like a whole marine marine time like section like the aquanaut or some shit of like.

• 46:18Laci Mosley?

  Sea Org.

• 46:18Speaker 04

  The Sea Org, yeah, and nigga would just like he would just spend like months trying to find ports to him to do shit in because he was out there international waters. He could do what he wanted to do and that just had niggas working on this ship for free.

• 46:29Laci Mosley?

  One of the best scammers who ever did it. He was like, oh, y'all gonna try to jail me on land? Okay, a bitch is about to be out to sea.

• 46:36Speaker 04

  Catch you in the Pacific, baby. We see you.

• 46:39Laci Mosley?

  Yes, the cops gonna pull up to the ocean.

• 46:43Speaker 04

  You got a cop boat, sir? I don't think so.

• 46:45Laci Mosley?

  I don't think so. I know some Uber drivers have looked like they were in the ocean, but y'all can drive here.

• 46:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, catch me in the Suez Canal.

• 46:52Laci Mosley?

  Right, I love this for him. So Scientology has a detailed and costly courses, basically, and we know that. I haven't done a Scientology app. This is not the Scientology app. This is specific, but I will do one on the religion because, honey, a scam.

• 47:06Speaker 04

  It's a lot, yeah.

• 47:07Laci Mosley?

  A scam. If you don't have money, they're like free labor. If you have money, they're like, we'll have all of your money.

• 47:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, come through.

• 47:14Laci Mosley?

  Or we'll flame you and harass you. They're fantastic scammers. So Scientology is detail like has detailed and costly, you know, courses and it's called the bridge to total freedom. Scientology teaches that reaching to the top of the bridge means that you're able to use the mind to do powerful things like move things or cure cancer for yourself, according to Leah Remini. And I watched Leah Remini's doc and I fuck with Leah Remini. I really do.

• 47:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, she came out hard. She's like enough of this shit.

• 47:44Laci Mosley?

  Right. And like, she's the only one who's ever done something that big against Scientology and she could only do it because she was a celebrity because otherwise they have people following you when you leave. They have people harassing you. It's very scary. Like that lady who walked up to my car, I had a full panic attack after that. I can't imagine that was every day in Scientology when I left. Like niggas coming up like, you, you forgot about Xenom?

• 48:06Speaker 04

  Yeah. You would, whatever. Imagine finding like the, someone rent, like that organization rented a house next to you so they could spy on you. That's some wild shit.

• 48:14Laci Mosley?

  And that's, they had the money to do it. That's why, look, I don't want to campaign for organized religion not being tax exempt because like honestly, I want to be tax exempt.

• 48:25Laci Mosley?

  But y'all don't be giving back enough for the tax exemption. Joel Osteen, don't be giving back enough for the tax exemption. When Houston had the floods and the hurricanes, he closed the doors of his church. And it was like, bruh, a church's whole point is to take in the needy and help them. You can't close your church, you bitch.

• 48:44Speaker 04

  So he needed some, he needed some, y'all, he, well, y'all needed some coin. That's what he was saying. You get your bank up.

• 48:49Laci Mosley?

  Hmm. So required courses cost about $650 each and a course could require that its members study from nine AM to 10 PM, seven days a week. And I'm just going to take a quick pause to tell you guys, nine AM to 10 PM is 11 hours, right? And it is enough time to start a brainwashing period. If you do anything as a human being long enough, your brain will start to like conform to it. Like there's like this thing that's like, oh, if you make a habit and you do it for 21 days, your brain will do it for the rest of your life. So if you're nine AM to 10 PM every day studying, they will brainwash you and indoctrinate you into their cult.

• 49:32Speaker 04

  And you just, like, that's just your will too. Like, all your friends are going to be from that, that organization. All you're like, Probably your your like loved one, your spouse or your spouse.

• 49:42Laci Mosley?

  Yep, I have a lot. I know a lot of people in Scientology and like your spouse, the people you live with. Like, everything becomes about it. And then Scientology threatens that if you leave, you won't have these friends anymore because you'll be excommunicated. You won't have this life. And so basically, they're like, if you leave, we'll take away the life that you've known.

• 50:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 50:02Laci Mosley?

  And that's a big threat for people. More than violence, because at the end of the day, like we were talking about earlier with work and companies, people just want to live full lives where they're with the people that they love. So, yeah, big scam. Reaching the top of the bridge in quotes doesn't mean you're free and clear of further courses and costs. Scientology allegedly spends thousands of dollars to purchase every book written by Hubbard. Leah Remini has shown off a large bookcase in her home filled with Hubbard's texts. She says there are twelve basic books in Scientology and that the package costs about four thousand dollars. And a member will often have to buy the books multiple times whenever Scientology says they've been updated.

• 50:41Laci Mosley?

  So they'll change, they'll move some commas and some periods and change the cover and be like, okay, so we got a new book, y'all.

• 50:49Speaker 04

  Yo, that that goal, that moving goalpost is so perfect for like a scam organization because it's never done. Like you, you're never going to be done.

• 50:57Laci Mosley?

  And that's what they want. And it's amazing. You're absolutely right. So in addition to courses, Scientologists must attend auditing. Essentially, the church's term for therapy, which allegedly costs eight hundred dollars an hour. Every meeting is recorded and videotaped to use against members if they decide to speak out. So, and a lot, I think that's why a lot of people, especially famous people, stay in Scientology because they probably said something in auditing that they don't want to go public.

• 51:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, what do they call it? Uh, collateral? Is that what they, that's what they call it? Yeah, yeah.

• 51:27Laci Mosley?

  And it's like this sense, I, I have a lot of info about this because I know a lot of Scientologists, Scientologists. Um, but they bring you into this room. Sometimes your auditor is like a child. Sometimes the person is like, yeah, like they're like fourteen. It's like crazy. And they ask you all. These questions and like really dig, dig, dig, dig, keep you in there for a long time until you reveal something that is collateral for them.

• 51:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:55Laci Mosley?

  And then, yeah. So, and you have to do these several times. So that's how they keep you. So Lafayette's relationship with Scientology. Lafayette says that he was first introduced to Scientology while in prison 10 years ago. After another inmate gave him a copy of Dianetics, one of the foundational texts of Scientology. He said, I spent like 12 straight hours reading that. I went to sleep, got up, read the next day, and then ended up reading about it eight more times. Lafayette was in jail for auto theft, shoplifting, attempted carjacking, battery, threatening a public off official, and resisting arrest. So he's a scammer.

• 52:29Speaker 04

  He a real one, alright.

• 52:32Laci Mosley?

  He was like, I'll just be the next L. Ron. Like, what are you talking about? So if Lafayette's claim of reincarnation is true, these acts would be the continuation of a crime spree started by L. Ron Hubbard, who was charged with theft and fraud and dabbled in bigamy. And if you don't know what bigamy is, it's marrying someone while still illegally being married to someone else. And while named as an unindicted co-conspirator in one of the largest ever infiltrations of the US. So L. Ron Hubbard obviously was a scammer. We know that Scientology is a scam. But so Lafayette was like, well, I'm a scammer too.

• 53:10Speaker 04

  Yeah. And we, we got these past lives, you know, like I'm doing, I'm, I'm round two. I'm the second one.

• 53:16Laci Mosley?

  He was like, my past life, I was Abraham Lincoln. I was like, slaves. Get it popping in these streets.

• 53:21Speaker 04

  That first L. Ron was just a mixtape. I'm the full album. Come through.

• 53:24Laci Mosley?

  I was like, slaves, quarantine is over. Like, what? So at the end of Lafayette's prison sentence, he tried to enroll in courses at the Church of Scientology in Inglewood, but left when they tried to limit the services that they would perform for him because of his criminal background. So basically they were like, you doing crime, crime, you can be in Scientology, but you can't be like riding amongst the ranks.

• 53:49Speaker 04

  I didn't know niggas was out there like that.

• 53:50Laci Mosley?

  Are you kidding me? Oh, oh my god.

• 53:51Speaker 04

  I didn't know that. For real? I didn't, I didn't know that.

• 53:54Laci Mosley?

  What are they called? The Nation of Islam, right?

• 53:56Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 53:57Laci Mosley?

  Scientology targeted the Nation of Islam.

• 53:59Speaker 04

  Oh, word.

• 54:00Laci Mosley?

  And got them involved in Scientology.

• 54:03Speaker 04

  No shit.

• 54:04Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 54:05Speaker 04

  That's crazy. I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

• 54:08Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, it's a thing.

• 54:10Speaker 04

  That's crazy.

• 54:10Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, it's a thing. So he got involved in the black churches, which is so funny because he's definitely a white man.

• 54:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, he definitely.

• 54:16Laci Mosley?

  But they, and they may have not been the black ones, but it was in Inglewood. So we know the population in Inglewood is mostly us.

• 54:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 54:25Laci Mosley?

  So, hmm, curious. So over the next eighteen months, he said he started remembering things from his previous existence. So when they said that he couldn't be the next, you know, Scientology it girl, he was like, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm having, he turned into Raven Simone and he was like, like.

• 54:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm having a vision right now. Hold on. I'm seeing something.

• 54:47Laci Mosley?

  Seeing something. So believers and non-believers. When a reporter reached out to the Church of Scientology spokesperson, they wrote back, I have never heard of Mr. Justin Allen Craig. The claims are unhinged and ludicrous. You could not be serious about running this story, which, okay. Maybe they hadn't heard of him. Maybe he is a scammer and obviously he definitely is. However, the Church of Scientology is a scam and they be lying all the time. So neither of y'all niggas are credible. Like, sorry.

• 55:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 55:15Laci Mosley?

  Pot, pot meet kettle. Like, what? So there are people who believe that the teachings of Scientology, but for various reasons, like, don't associate with the organization. So there's some people who are like, yeah, we like El Ron, but we don't fuck with him.

• 55:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, we need that.

• 55:29Laci Mosley?

  They're called independent Scientologists, and this is where Lafayette has found some of his support. Scientologypedia, oh, wow.

• 55:36Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 55:37Laci Mosley?

  A resource website aimed at the independent Scientologists posted an interview with Lafayette to its YouTube channel. Steve Watkins, an independent Scientologist who lives in the UK, said he also turned away the main church after becoming frustrated with the amount of money that they expected from him. So they're like, El Ron, we fuck with the vibes, but we don't fuck with the coins.

• 55:55Speaker 04

  In a way, that seems like the ultimate scam because like, yo, I'm trying to burden myself. You're teaching me, but like, I ain't trying to pay you no money. So like, I got what I need to get. I ain't gonna get got by the organization. That seems smart to me. Like, I'm, I'm with that.

• 56:05Laci Mosley?

  Thing about organized religion, like. I'm Christian and I believe in Sky Daddy mostly because when I die, if Sky Daddy's up there, I don't want to lose. I'm gonna, I look, I do well in the casino, so I'm betting on everything. Jesus, God, everybody. I'm like, I worship everybody. Buddha, I saw you. I see you, King.

• 56:25Speaker 04

  Come through.

• 56:26Laci Mosley?

  Right. So, but also I believe in like the good natured stuff that's in the Bible, but there's a lot of bad shit in the Bible. Like your dad can sell you if you're his daughter and like, you know, gays are bad. There's like a lot of shit that's like unhinged and stupid and weird. And also the Bible's full of fairy tales. A burning bush, like all this shit. And we try to act like that's not folklore.

• 56:50Speaker 04

  Yeah. It's like taking the ultimate control. Like I get to pick and choose the best things about this to better my life without having to subscribe to like the shit that I don't agree with.

• 56:58Laci Mosley?

  And why after, you know, AD, why after AD, no bushes ain't burning no more? Why is Jesus not pulling up in his chaklas right now? Because shit is bad. Like, what's happening? So I'm like, you know, I still have my confusions. So Steve said that the story of Lafayette being the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard doesn't seem false. He said his second date of birth, his mannerisms, all of this tie in, but like there were so many videos of L. Ron because L. Ron loved the video. He loved a movie moment. Yeah, he did. So like you could just watch that shit and copy his mannerisms, but okay.

• 57:41Speaker 04

  Camer scam.

• 57:42Laci Mosley?

  So this is true. Lafayette was born a year and a half after L. Ron Hubbard died. What does that mean? A year and a half? That's not the same day. That's not significant.

• 57:50Speaker 04

  We do one year or two year, like that the point five don't mean nothing.

• 57:54Laci Mosley?

  A year, like, bro, were you born on the day he died? Like, what are you trying to say? Okay. He was like, I was born three point five years after L. Ron Hubbard died. So I'm him. What that mean?

• 58:04Speaker 04

  Okay, yeah, I guess that makes sense. Let me connect those dots.

• 58:06Laci Mosley?

  I can't even do that in numerology. Shout out to Lev Di. So Steve has been working with Lafayette over Skype. Oh, Skype. Wow.

• 58:14Speaker 04

  Oh, R. I. P. Rest in peace, King.

• 58:17Laci Mosley?

  That's a scam. Now apparently doing auditing sessions AKA the counseling that's central to Scientology. Right? Since the Church of Scientology charges hundreds of dollars an hour for auditing Lafayette has been providing his services from a range from free to fifty dollars. So basically I feel like Lafayette was like, oh, you're not gonna let me be the king of Scientology. Great. Okay, I'm gonna go do great value Scientology.

• 58:40Speaker 04

  I got that discount.

• 58:41Laci Mosley?

  I'm gonna go do Kirkland Scientology, okay? Where the girls can get it for the cheap.

• 58:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm taking it back to the people here.

• 58:50Laci Mosley?

  Okay, I'm not mad at it. One customer said he hasn't got much money out of me. If it's a scam, I don't see the angle. I don't know what he would be going for, which cuz he ain't, you know, gouging the girls like Scientology. So according to Lafayette, his process is different from the church because it's able to grant people their wishes in like two to three days. Wow.

• 59:10Speaker 04

  That's a quick turnaround. For four billion years, two or three days, I'm going with it. I love this dude already. I love this dude El Ron. I'm fucking with Lafayette.

• 59:19Laci Mosley?

  Y'all wanna go clear, but y'all don't wanna spend y'all life doing it. Okay, I got the two to three days. You gonna be clear as fuck. You gonna be see through bitch. Okay, we got. Scientology got going clear. We got going see through.

• 59:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, we got it. We gonna be transparent.

• 59:33Laci Mosley?

  Go in cellophane, okay?

• 59:37Laci Mosley?

  Alright, I'm not mad. So in a recent YouTube video from 2020 titled Scientology is Dead, Lafayette claims that he is calling this new era of Scientology is Speerianism. He has purchased trademarks and people can pay for experience processing materials. Wow.

• 59:54Speaker 04

  Yes, I love this man.

• 59:56Laci Mosley?

  Wow. So that's his whole scam. And how do you feel? I don't know. I think I might fuck with him like.

• 1:00:02Speaker 04

  I think I'm with because one like like you like we've been talking about like organized religion like I'm not really with it, but like sort of like turning the scam back on the ultimate scam is like the best move like. He's like, he's doing what I think, I mean, what I assume the religion should be doing was far as like, we're charging you nothing to fifty bucks to like come in here and like get your salvation or whatever. Like I guess, grant you wishes. I'd bring a hundred bucks to get my wishes granted.

• 1:00:28Laci Mosley?

  I think Scientology is all about narcissism and confidence, which is why they have been able to easily target celebrities.

• 1:00:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:38Laci Mosley?

  Because celebrities have a lot of attention and that has two effects. One is like, it's like, oh, wow, people think I'm amazing. I'm living an amazing life. I'm a special person. But the other half is people tearing you down and you being like, oh, well, everything has to be special that I do and my confidence is getting low. And what Scientology is doing is giving you an outlet for both of those things. And they string you along with it so that they can get your money and your time and your work. And even if you're not famous, you feel like, oh, wow, I can still be involved. I just have to give up my life and do hard labor and all my friends and family are Scientology people.

• 1:01:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, and also they're not afraid to cut a check like that. Like I saw that new center they built on, uh, what was it on, uh, like Virgil, not Virgil, whatever Vermont or whatever, like that new like media center they built over there.

• 1:01:28Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, for their propaganda.

• 1:01:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, and you're like,

• 1:01:30Laci Mosley?

  I know so many actors who have done Scientology movies.

• 1:01:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, like they're not afraid to cut a check and uplift people like within their own like spear or whatever, like everyone's a blue checkmark at, at, at, at this Scientology center and they're not afraid to make an echo chamber.

• 1:01:44Laci Mosley?

  Right. And so I think that scam really appeals to a lot of people who are lost because there's nothing wrong with being lost. We're human beings. We don't know what happens when we die. Nobody comes back and tells us like, you know, nobody's like, oh, I died and then girl, let me tell you what was on the other side. Like nobody ever tells us. So we just assume like, we hope that it's like some heavenly thing or something interesting because that makes it worth living. And then if you have a religion that teaches you to be kind and wonderful to people, then like, it's kind of like, what's the harm? But with Scientology, they're teasing that shit out. He was like, I'm gonna be Jesus 2.0, L. Ron Hubbard. And was like, I'm gonna give y'all some good wisdom, but I'm also gonna make y'all pay all my bills and build my empire.

• 1:02:29Speaker 04

  Let me hit you with that memo. Like, yeah, I think that's what makes it so like sad and like the insidious is that like moving to LA is already fucking stressful enough. Like it's just where like this is where it thrives, right? Like you don't really have any friends. You're just trying to fit in to do your thing and chase your dream, whatever it is. And like, you see this organization that's like, hey, come in, like we can welcome you, like we can net. Work you with people and like can give you purpose while you try to achieve your goal. Yeah, exactly. Like. And like the thing that's really fucking scary is that like, like you said, like that goalpost keeps moving. Every like, oh, I'll take these three classes and like, then I can do the thing like, well. Now you gotta buy these three books and I we have three more additions of this book. So you gotta buy more. Now you gotta do audits. You gotta give us all this compromising information about yourself is like.

• 1:03:09Laci Mosley?

  And then you're stuck because it's like, oh, if I leave, they're gonna snitch on me like in that documentary that I watched. I watched a couple about Scientology. There was one where a woman was like, I got in a trunk after shooting a Scientology movie. I got in someone's trunk. So I could leave Scientology.

• 1:03:24Speaker 04

  Oh, fuck, that's.

• 1:03:25Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, that's that's how desperate she felt.

• 1:03:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's sad.

• 1:03:29Laci Mosley?

  That she couldn't just walk off the premises and leave, like, you know, a normal human being could. That cult had her like, I'm gonna have to hop in this trunk.

• 1:03:40Speaker 04

  I gotta, I gotta get out.

• 1:03:41Laci Mosley?

  She didn't even ask the person who was driving. Yeah, she was like, this shit is a lot. Oh, this is my trunk.

• 1:03:48Speaker 04

  I hope you go into K town because that's where I live.

  Guys, it's time for scammer of the week. This is where we highlight a charlatan that's worthy of our praise, or maybe not. Uh, you know, I've given up on making them honorable, you know, we'll see at the end. But scammer of the week this week is a nineteen year old Atlanta area teen who's been accused of stealing one million dollars from a Kroger grocery store. So far, I'm in. A million, a million from the Kroger?

• 1:04:16Speaker 04

  Let's go.

• 1:04:19Laci Mosley?

  So even though he's over eighteen, we're gonna change his name to John because he's still pretty young. Um, we don't wanna, like I say, we don't wanna fuck up the bag for the babies, okay? So John spent two weeks creating over forty fake returns to obtain over nine hundred and eighty thousand dollars. While he was employed at Kroger between December and January.

• 1:04:42Speaker 04

  Yes, he was he's a little bit too ambitious. He should spread that out.

• 1:04:46Laci Mosley?

  Over like a year. You don't do a million a month.

• 1:04:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's too much. That's too much, King.

• 1:04:52Laci Mosley?

  He got greedy and we talk about that on this podcast. You can't get greedy with your scams. Let it be passive income. You gotta think of your scams as like you're a landlord and you just get rent every month. You can't be out here just trying to get the whole bag.

• 1:05:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, you get some fun play money. You can't you can't be securing everything.

• 1:05:07Laci Mosley?

  So the returns ranged from seventy five dollars to over eighty seven thousand dollars for non-existent items and were placed on several credit cards, detectives said. Corporate employees noticed the transactions and contacted the police. Further investigation showed that John appears to have used the money to buy clothes, shoes, and two cars. Amen.

• 1:05:29Speaker 04

  Hey, I'm with you. Yeah, I'm with you.

• 1:05:32Laci Mosley?

  He got the drip. He went and got the drip. I'm not mad at getting the drip. Like, yes. So prior to his arrest, police said that John totaled one of his cars. Oh, damn, John.

• 1:05:43Speaker 04

  The sex.

• 1:05:43Laci Mosley?

  He's young. I can't drive. I can't drive either. We talked about it at the beginning. So I feel you, John. I've totaled a car. I've totaled two cars. Oh, my God, I totaled two cars.

• 1:05:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, you but you've got you've got bodies, Lacey. Yeah.

• 1:05:55Laci Mosley?

  Good thing I didn't harm nobody in the process because that's my biggest thing is like I don't want to hurt nobody with my terrible driving, but you know. So prior to his arrest, police said that John totaled one of his cars, right? A large sum of money was returned after John's arrest, but the amount is unknown. What? So John has been charged with theft. So John basically was like, oh, y'all want your money back? Okay, I'll give y'all girls like a lot of it. Y'all good?

• 1:06:23Speaker 04

  But we keeping some. That's smart. I'll fuck with John.

• 1:06:26Laci Mosley?

  Stop for when he get out because he know he gonna do a bid. He he has to do a bid in jail. But he's like, when I get out, first day out, take take Lizzie, you know?

• 1:06:35Speaker 04

  Let's go. I mean, the company's gonna be all right. That's the good thing, too. It's like no one gives a shit like this multi-billion dollar company. Just take it. There need to be more Johns out there.

• 1:06:43Laci Mosley?

  Kroger is fine. They'll be fine. Okay. John was just trying to get the bag. And that's the thing about capitalism is when you're doing this shit, which our country is built off of. And I know you guys know after the pandemic and seeing how your government fucked you.

• 1:06:57Speaker 04

  Fucked you.

• 1:06:58Laci Mosley?

  Even though all you do is pay to daddy government. Every check you get, daddy government gets a slice. So the whole point of daddy government was like, when daddy needs to step in, daddy gonna take care of everybody. And then when everybody was in need, daddy was like, actually, I'm in Mexico.

• 1:07:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, you did. I got you some bootstraps. Pull yourself up with them.

• 1:07:18Laci Mosley?

  Remember our bootstraps we talked about? Go ahead and start pulling yourself up. Cause daddy government ain't got it. Look, we got nine hundred million dollars to invent a triangle wheel for a tank. But we don't got money for y'all.

• 1:07:31Speaker 04

  What you see, what you didn't know is that there was a wedding going on, right? In Syria, that need to be bombed, right? So there was some innocent people there. We need to get them.

• 1:07:37Laci Mosley?

  No, not a wedding. Yo, America's trash. We're literally the bullies. We're the white man of the world.

• 1:07:44Speaker 04

  We are.

• 1:07:44Laci Mosley?

  Which is why when Barack Obama was president, a lot of people would be like, well, he didn't do that much for black people and blah, blah, blah, you know? And I'm like, he became president of the white man of the world. What did you expect? He's, he's, he's not completely in control. Like, it's the white man of the world. What, what is he supposed to do? He gotta put his foot on people's necks, because that's what's required. Like.

• 1:08:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, he, he's just part of it.

• 1:08:09Laci Mosley?

  Right. We do horrible things in this country. We are horrible. And it's funny because we have such great branding, which is a scam, which is like, oh, we got the bad guy. Or, oh, we stormed Saddam's cave and all this shit. And we're like, oh, that's so wonderful. But they're not talking about all the drone strikes where they kill innocent people. And it's like, imagine us in our homes right now, and then just a drone flies and drops down and kills us.

• 1:08:33Speaker 04

  Imagine, imagine.

• 1:08:34Laci Mosley?

  Happening.

• 1:08:35Speaker 04

  Imagine looking forward to, to cloudy days, because that's when the drones can't come through your hood. Like, that's what kids are living through right now.

• 1:08:42Laci Mosley?

  We're, we're the bad place. Like, it's bad. And like, I knew after Sandy Hook, when all those little children got murdered by gun violence. And, and, and we say by gun violence, it was by an angry white man.

• 1:08:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:00Laci Mosley?

  There was no gun control after. I said, oh shit, we ain't never gonna get no gun control.

• 1:09:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:09:04Laci Mosley?

  And like, what's crazy too is is that people are like, well, we can't get gun control, so I'll just buy a gun. Okay, so you're gonna turn into Tomb Raider when the shots start firing? Like, when the motherfucking shit pops off, you're gonna show up and you're gonna be Laura Croft? You're gonna be motherfucking Keanu Reeves and, you know, fight everybody hand to hand? You're gonna be Liam Neeson and start neck chopping? No, you're fucking not. You're gonna run. And that's what happened in that Vegas shooting at the country concert. A lot of those country artists had guns. And they ran. So I was like, bro, you got, I thought, I thought that's why you had a gun? You were supposed to start spraying.

• 1:09:41Speaker 04

  That Florida school, the Parkland thing, feel like the, the, those safety resource officers like dip, he's like, I ain't trying to get that smoke.

• 1:09:47Laci Mosley?

  Right, cuz every, at the end of the day, even if you work in protection and security, you not trying to die for that shit.

• 1:09:53Speaker 04

  Fuck no. I was a bouncer. Like, I wouldn't try to, I wouldn't try to get stabbed for a fucking.

• 1:09:57Laci Mosley?

  Hell no.

• 1:09:59Speaker 04

  Seen your frogs or the fucking place I was working at. It's like, I got dreams too.

• 1:10:02Laci Mosley?

  Right, I'm trying to live. I try to die for the cause. Who the fuck you think I am? That's why when I found out that Jared and Ivanka Trump, when that man was president, were having their security use the bathroom, like, down the street or like in some little garage or something? They didn't let them use their personal bathrooms. I was like, y'all are stupid as fuck cuz these niggas probably don't wanna jump in front of a bullet for your bitch asses right now? And now you're making a poop across the street? They definitely ain't gonna jump in front of a bullet for you.

• 1:10:29Speaker 04

  Ain't no guards doing no shuffles with their pants around their ankle to get to Ivanka Trump.

• 1:10:33Laci Mosley?

  They gonna be like, damn, that's crazy.

• 1:10:34Speaker 04

  Damn, that's crazy. I hate to see it, King. Yeah, I'mma, I'mma send up a GoFundMe for you.

• 1:10:38Laci Mosley?

  Right. We gonna get the GoFundMe popping.
