Penn State Fraternity Coke Scandal with Ron Funches

Notriously riddled with scandal, Penn State recently upped the anti with a fraternity led coke ring. Ron Funches joined Laci Mosley for a dive into the horrors of campus life in America. Together they try to figure out who else might have snitched, how long you can stay on the line when you know about the drug operation in the basement, and why Penn State became a party school.

• 2:49Laci Mosley?

  What's poppin', congregation? It's your girl, Lacey Mosley, AKA Scam Goddess, back with another installment of the comedy podcast all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it. Sometimes we love them, sometimes we hate them. One thing probably for sure is that we will laugh at them, but never at the victims, okay? At congregation, if you're not new here, then you already know I'm very what? Yes, excited, thrilled, elated. We have a returned guest, an icon, back on the show.

• 3:33Speaker 00

  Thank you for having me again.

• 3:34Laci Mosley?

  Thank you for being here.

• 3:35Speaker 00

  I like coming here because we both have equally strong but extremely opposite energies.

• 3:40Laci Mosley?

  We do, and it balances out so well.

• 3:42Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:43Laci Mosley?

  It really does. Oh, my goodness. I remember one time we did something. Remember when I had to go to the hospital when we was in that ditch in the woods?

• 3:50Speaker 00

  I remember that because I had been up all day the day previously, and I was like, this is a terrible time. But I had fun, and I got to be the crazy James Brown.

• 4:00Laci Mosley?

  You did.

• 4:00Speaker 00

  And I don't know if that ever came out.

• 4:02Laci Mosley?

  It did not.

• 4:03Speaker 00

  But it was silly.

• 4:04Laci Mosley?

  It's our little secret.

• 4:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 4:05Laci Mosley?

  It was silly, we were in the woods.

• 4:07Speaker 00

  And it's now how we met, and I can say I knew her before.

• 4:10Laci Mosley?

  Yes, I mean, you was already poppin', but you buried me in a ditch, which is always... And I don't give context when I tell people that, Ron. I'm just like, yeah, he buried me in a ditch once. He's a great guy.

• 4:21Speaker 00

  And she got out. But she knows not to talk about it.

• 4:26Laci Mosley?

  So, Ron, since you've been on the show, I have to ask, like, it's been a little minute. What's your relationship with scams now? Are you sending the zeitgeist? It could be literally anything, anything happen to anybody you know, you, whatever. It could be anything.

• 4:38Speaker 00

  Well, a few things. I mean, I think everybody's been excited just about recently about that Elizabeth Holmes movie, about you can see everything, and that's been fun scam-wise to go through that. But then also recently getting my autism diagnosis has been forced me to kind of go back and look through things and be like, oh, man, sometimes I've been very obtuse about things and been open to scams because I'm very trusting. And it's in turn made me look more at my life and been like, oh, man, sometimes I've let people take advantage of me. So right now, I'm really anti-scam and grifters and scammers of any nature in a way that's probably a little bit too personal.

• 5:18Laci Mosley?

  So you're saying because you got diagnosed, you were like, no, no, y'all coming for me, and now this feels like they're taking advantage of a community?

• 5:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, that and just in the fact that like, there's just, there's just been a cycle of my life of me being taken advantage of in some ways where I've just been like, because I just have often seen the best in people or just extremely take people for their exact word and don't do any research and then later find out that I'm in a bad situation. I gotta get out of.

• 5:45Laci Mosley?

  Oh, no. Wait, you have like an example of this?

• 5:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, but I don't want to get into it because me and my ex-wife are doing much better now.

• 5:51Laci Mosley?

  Okay, you know what? Now, it was a whole marriage. I don't think they have that on the site for reasons of like, there's like irreconcilable differences, newly diagnosed with autism.

• 6:05Speaker 00

  That would be good.

• 6:07Laci Mosley?

  I have ADHD, that's why I have to get divorced.

• 6:09Speaker 00

  Yes. I didn't know what I was getting into. I didn't double check.

• 6:13Laci Mosley?

  I love that this unlocked the whole part of your life for you, but like, I feel like when I got an ADHD diagnosis, like, obviously you can get on medication and things like that, but like with autism, it's just like, you're like, now you know.

• 6:24Speaker 00

  It's just now I know, and now I'm able to read some more books and learn about the ways that I work and in some ways, understand why I'm able to do some things like as far as like my acting skills and being able to learn a script. If I'm invested in something, I can extremely hyper-focus on something. But if I'm not, good luck trying to get me to learn anything about it. And so to be able to learn more about that and to use that and not be scared of it has been beautiful for me.

• 6:54Laci Mosley?

  I love that. Okay, so in that way, that's not a scam. It's just more so you were like, okay, I've been a little too trusting with people because I take things for face value, which I can totally understand. I have a lot of family on the spectrum. I obviously have ADHD, move closer to AHD, but I get the same thing too, where it's like, I just kind of go along with stuff and then all of a sudden I realize I've gone too far.

• 7:14Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 7:14Laci Mosley?

  I feel like part of it is my curiosity, though. I'll notice something is off and I'll be like, hmm, well, let's just see it through.

• 7:20Speaker 00

  Yeah, I get that 100% because sometimes my gut is very accurate, my instincts are accurate, but I will go like, oh, no, you just, you know, give them the benefit of the doubt. But I think ever since like, A, my divorce and B, turning 40, I've just not given, I'm like, I don't give the benefit of the doubt, I'm just willing to be wrong. If I'm wrong about you, I'm wrong, and I guess I won't even apologize because you won't be in my life, but you know what I mean? But I'll just be wrong.

• 7:44Laci Mosley?

  I feel like it does get to a certain point in life, and this happens with scams too, where you get past the point where you want to see what's behind door number three. It's just like, eh, like, at worst, you know, I missed out on something that probably wasn't that great. At best, I kept myself from getting hoodwinked, which is this time in the country is pretty much like everywhere you turn around, somebody is trying to rob you.

• 8:03Speaker 00

  Absolutely, which is a great, I mean, that's wild how things like come from the top down, right? And so people see the representation of us at the top, and now everyone in every industry seems to be just about get my bag, don't even have to worry about delivering what I promised to you. And it's just an era of grifting, and I'm really trying to fight against that and just teach my sons to be authentic and to go live by their word and live by their bond, and those things are important to you, you know?

• 8:31Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, you know, we got on Kim K real hard. We said, nobody wants to work anymore. Now, I think there was suspicion that she wasn't paying the people well enough. That's been a rumor around that clan for a while.

• 8:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 8:41Laci Mosley?

  But as far as just like the general, like, people want to like do as little work as possible, get their check and go home, that is definitely, I think we're all just in fatigue. You know, that's the scam of like what's happened to us with our news and our administration is like they're inundating us with so much mess that you can't even like hold on to one, you know, story before something else bigger or crazier is like floating past. And then after a while, you just start being like, yeah, yeah, the president said blow up LA. Yeah.

• 9:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's all becomes white noise. Yeah.

• 9:10Laci Mosley?

  Which a lot of this would not have been white noise before.

• 9:12Speaker 00

  No, no, a lot of it was like, we gotta go another way now. Like, you gotta go live in an asylum or something, usually when someone says something of that nature.

• 9:23Laci Mosley?

  Right, we would have been like upheaval, like, you know, let's fight in the streets. And then, no. But that is one thing that I've loved collectively about being black during this time is like, we were like, hey, guys, we're not gonna, we never talked about it, we just didn't protest. And now the protests are like, like the No Kings Day, I mean, it's something, you know, they're registering people to vote.

• 9:41Speaker 00

  That was kind of like put out in the, um, the whole, their whole Project 2025, right? Like, if we got out there, they were gonna then portray.

• 9:49Laci Mosley?

  They're gonna gun us down and act martial law.

• 9:51Speaker 00

  And then be like, look at these people out here, and so, you know, it's.

• 9:54Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, we're helping, we're helping by sitting on our couch. I'm sending motivation, I'm donating, but we gotta stay inside for everybody's safety. I didn't make the rules.

• 10:04Speaker 00

  No, it's just clear.

• 10:07Laci Mosley?

  But I love that. What made you go, uh, like get a diagnosis?

• 10:11Speaker 00

  I went on the traders and then I did The Bad Time, and then I hated 2025. For people and then realized that that's a lot of people to hate in one environment. And so maybe some of it can't be all them. I will say that the majority of it was them. But some of it had to be me. And so then when that happened and then the show came out and I could see some mannerisms that reminded me of my son who had been diagnosed and other people started sending me messages saying that I, uh, some nice and some mean, saying that I looked autistic. And so I was like, let me look into this.

• 10:45Laci Mosley?

  I love that you got trolling from people off the traders. You're like, you know what? Let me look at this.

• 10:49Speaker 00

  Yeah. It wasn't the trolling. I was like, oh, they're just talking trash. I love talking trash. It was, it was once they started being nice. I was like, oh, this is hurting my feelings.

• 10:58Laci Mosley?

  Genuine concern. They were like, no, Ron.

• 11:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 11:02Laci Mosley?

  Ron.

• 11:02Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 11:03Laci Mosley?

  It's me, Alan Cumming.

• 11:07Laci Mosley?

  We have some recommendations for you. No, that's why, okay, I saw your season of Traders. I love Traders. I would want to be on there so bad, but I feel like because the scam thing, I, and also I feel like.

• 11:18Speaker 00

  That wouldn't be good if they know your background.

• 11:20Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 11:21Speaker 00

  But your personality would be good for it because you're so outgoing.

• 11:24Laci Mosley?

  See, but I don't know. I feel like our traders, like if you're a little too outgoing, they're like suspicious. I feel like in the beginning, they're just getting rid of people that they feel like they can like isolate. And they're like, oh, well, you're not hanging out with us. So we think you're a trader or whatever. Or the black people or the drag queens. I feel like we always go like pretty close to the beginning.

• 11:41Speaker 00

  It seems like it. Yeah. It seems, I mean, by history.

• 11:44Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 11:44Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 11:46Laci Mosley?

  Pedro was the closest one. And then, oh, I'll never forgive that because that man, he, he gave her up. She would have won.

• 11:53Speaker 00

  I know.

• 11:53Laci Mosley?

  And I was like, you cheated, bro. You cheated. That was a hater move. Like, we could have got another queen. But yeah, I get it because our traders, you're supposed to be like socializing with people. And I feel like when I saw you on the show, you were very like to yourself. You were like, I don't know what the fuck going on.

• 12:07Speaker 00

  I mean, but that, that was me socializing.

• 12:12Laci Mosley?

  You socializing, like everybody's like hanging out and just Rod in the corner like.

• 12:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's me. Yeah.

• 12:17Laci Mosley?

  It's like, no, we had a great time. What do you mean?

• 12:19Speaker 00

  We had a fun time. I listened.

• 12:21Laci Mosley?

  He was like, I was cracking up. They cut you.

• 12:23Speaker 00

  Yeah. I listened. I had a good time.

• 12:27Laci Mosley?

  You were listening. You were doing what you were supposed to do. You were trying to observe. I'm sorry they played you like that, King. That's not right. That was a little bit of a scam.

• 12:33Speaker 00

  I appreciate that.

• 12:34Laci Mosley?

  I feel like you could have lasted much longer, especially because you're good at keeping secrets.

• 12:37Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, I'm a good confidant and I'm a great faithful and good at being, I mean, I could have been a good trader if I had to, but, um, I just think I'm not good at pretending that I'm, um, friendly. I didn't understand the friendship aspect of it, that you had to be thinking. I thought like, oh, we're just gonna go and kind of investigate this mystery together. And I don't have to be friends with everybody, but they'll just be like, well, he's clearly working hard. But I was like, no, it's literally like high school and you're supposed to go and make friends with the most popular.

• 13:07Laci Mosley?

  And then y'all vote with each other.

• 13:09Speaker 00

  Never been good at. So I should have, if I had known that, I would have been like, oh, okay. I'm definitely not going to win.

• 13:16Laci Mosley?

  Everybody's like socializing at the bar. You like dusting for fingerprints in the corner.

• 13:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, exactly.

• 13:23Laci Mosley?

  Okay. See, they, they should have broke the rules down a little bit better for you. That's not fair. That's not fair. They set my king up. So I'm sorry about that. That feels like a little bit of a scam. They told you it was a mystery. You came in looking for clues. Came with your magnifying glass.

• 13:35Speaker 00

  Several times in the show, I said, my investigation.

• 13:42Laci Mosley?

  They're like, calm down, stapler, okay?

• 13:46Laci Mosley?

  This is about friendship, okay?

• 13:48Speaker 00

  I was taking it real serious.

• 13:50Laci Mosley?

  I love that. Oh my goodness. Well, you know what? This sounds like it's not a scam then because you got some information afterwards and that's helping you live your life to the fullest. So I'm not mad at this at all.

• 14:01Speaker 00

  No, me either. It turned out very positive. I just call it like a couple of bad days at work, you know, when you realize you just don't fit in in an environment.

• 14:10Laci Mosley?

  In a cottage or a castle in Scotland.

• 14:12Speaker 00

  That you can't leave.

• 14:15Laci Mosley?

  Well, do you have to stay in there?

• 14:16Speaker 00

  You gotta stay in and they don't feed you. And then there's just like a salmon and you're like trying to get there first so you could get all the food.

• 14:23Laci Mosley?

  No, for real?

• 14:23Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 14:25Laci Mosley?

  Not they starve you in there too. I feel like that's just a part of reality TV. That's the scam that they don't tell you. They like, they try to get you a little liquored up and they don't feed you enough so they can get you acting crazy.

• 14:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent.

• 14:37Laci Mosley?

  Sleep deprived.

• 14:38Speaker 00

  Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.

• 14:40Laci Mosley?

  So when you were, I don't know if you can say this, when you were filming your like sleep scenes, was it like they came in and filmed you and then they would leave? And then you actually go to bed or?

• 14:47Speaker 00

  They just set you up in a space to do it, you know? And then, because, and then you have different areas. I think they just had multiple bedrooms. You had to move you around in.

• 14:56Laci Mosley?

  Was it old in there?

• 14:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's old as hell. Some of it dilapidated.

• 15:00Laci Mosley?

  Not dilapidated?

• 15:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's a fun word.

• 15:05Laci Mosley?

  So you were really sleeping like the ancient Scots.

• 15:09Speaker 00

  You're there for so long. I mean, it's like barely sleeping. So it's just, yeah, you get involved in most of that you see, the castle is just a portion of it, like a fourth of it. Like, it's huge.

• 15:20Laci Mosley?

  Oh, okay. You had indoor plumbing and stuff, right?

• 15:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, oh, yeah. No, no, no.

• 15:25Laci Mosley?

  Okay, they, they updated it a little bit.

• 15:27Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 15:27Laci Mosley?

  Okay. That's what I always think about in olden times. Like whenever I see a period piece since like the 1800s, I'm like, I know it's stank in there.

• 15:36Laci Mosley?

  Like, have you ever seen like Victorian toilets? Sometimes they would be like a chair in the room. They're like, this is where you were really rich. And then like they would cover the chair up and then like the, the toilet would be underneath the chair covering.

• 15:47Speaker 00

  And they didn't wearing those wigs all the time and sweating it on.

• 15:50Laci Mosley?

  They were putting powder and stuff because there was all types of bugs. And then they was covering up the little syphilis on their head with it. Ooh.

• 15:56Speaker 00

  It's real stinking.

• 15:57Laci Mosley?

  I don't know how anybody romanticizes anything in the past. I'm like, it smell bad, y'all.

• 16:01Speaker 00

  I agree with you. I'm always been more of a fan of science fiction because of the future.

• 16:06Laci Mosley?

  Because in the future, you know, everybody breath fresh.

• 16:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:09Laci Mosley?

  I would hope. Like when the robots are making out like doop, doop, doop, doop, you know, it's minty.

• 16:14Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 16:15Laci Mosley?

  But back in the nasty 1800s, kids, I'm like, ugh. Like, I know that tastes terrible. I can't get over it.

• 16:23Speaker 00

  I just like that sentence. In the future, everybody's breath is minty. I love that.

• 16:27Laci Mosley?

  I, I want that for us. I hope that's the case. I pray.

• 16:30Speaker 00

  I hope that too.

• 16:31Laci Mosley?

  Well, we're gonna get into the present here, Ron. Yeah. So we're gonna get into historic hoodwakes. This is my favorite segment of the show. This is where I will gale Ron with the famous con caper group of criminals. Maybe we love them. Maybe we hate them. We will see along the way.

• 16:44Speaker 00

  I'm gonna keep an open mind.

• 16:45Laci Mosley?

  Oh, I love that. I love that you're keeping an open mind.

  Yeah.

• 19:32Laci Mosley?

  And what city did you do this in?

• 19:34Speaker 00

  In Salem, Oregon.

• 19:35Laci Mosley?

  In Salem, Oregon?

• 19:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 19:37Laci Mosley?

  Okay. Was it spooky? That's all I know about Salem.

• 19:39Speaker 00

  No, that's Salem, Massachusetts.

• 19:41Laci Mosley?

  Oh, you're right.

• 19:41Speaker 00

  There's also Salem, Virginia. There's multiple Salem's.

• 19:44Laci Mosley?

  I feel really dumb right now.

• 19:45Speaker 00

  No, don't feel dumb. Everybody, everybody goes into that. People jump to that every time. So don't, don't you dare feel bad.

• 19:53Laci Mosley?

  Oh, thank you so much. This is actually helping me a lot with my self. I know where things are on maps. I know maps.

• 19:59Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 19:59Laci Mosley?

  I've seen them. So you were in Salem, Oregon?

• 20:02Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 20:02Laci Mosley?

  Is that where you grew up?

• 20:03Speaker 00

  That's, uh, okay. I'll go back for you. I was born here in Los Angeles, in Gardena, California. I left when I was four. My mom got divorced and we moved to, to Chicago. Lived there for several years, then ended up. In Oregon, Portland, Salem, and then moved back to Los Angeles when I was 30, so about 13 years ago.

• 20:23Laci Mosley?

  Wow. Did your mom have a job in Salem, Oregon? Or she just really loved Oregon?

• 20:28Speaker 00

  No, my mom, my mom was actually in a bad relationship at the time, and she shipped me out of Salem because she couldn't get out of that relationship. But she wanted to get us out of that situation. So she shipped me to live with my dad in Oregon, which certainly, I think, saved my life and gave me a path to where I'm a comedian now. I don't think I would have been if I had stayed where I was.

• 20:49Laci Mosley?

  Okay, well, that's beautiful then. I'm trying to think, like, Oregon, comedy. Well, I mean, I guess you had no choice but to be funny, right? What else was going on?

• 20:58Speaker 00

  Well, yeah, you guys just chit chat and talk, and there's a lot of, especially in Salem. There's a lot of, Salem is pretty much like an Anytown, USA, where it's just kind of a strip mall of a town, you know? And it either breeds that everybody goes into super conformity, or they get kind of weird, you know? And there's a group of weird people out there that are just trying to, were doing art and trying to make shows. And I was running a coffee house show out there and just trying to make things nicer. And that's one of the things that I love about those type of small towns, is that people don't ever, that's why I still, when I go do stand-up, I'll go to everywhere. I like to go Riley, Tulsa, to everywhere, because people appreciate it when you go to their town, you know?

• 21:38Laci Mosley?

  Right, yeah, because they're used to probably having to drive out the way and all of that. But you're like, no, I'm pulling up to Salem. Like, I'm pulling up, okay, yeah.

• 21:44Speaker 00

  I'm big into Larry June. Larry June will always say, I'm going into this town, they got money there, you know?

• 21:49Laci Mosley?

  Okay, I need to start doing that. McKeesport, Pennsylvania, I'm coming.

• 21:53Speaker 00

  They got money there.

• 21:55Laci Mosley?

  So, speaking of Pennsylvania, today we're going to be talking about the Penn State frat bros, who were running a sophisticated cocaine ring in 2024. If you've ever been to State College in Pennsylvania, this won't be surprising to you. So here we have-

• 22:14Speaker 00

  Not a guy named Agostino.

• 22:16Laci Mosley?

  Agostino.

• 22:17Speaker 00

  He didn't do it.

• 22:18Laci Mosley?

  Abatellio. And he was a student until 2024, and he was in Sigma Chi. Okay, I know that frat. And then Thomas Robinson, he was also a student until 2024, and he was in Delta Epsilon, also know that fraternity. So these are two different fraternities. So they bridged across the beef, and they join hands to be cocaine salesmen.

• 22:40Speaker 00

  They said, there's all the Brotherhood of Cocaine.

• 22:42Laci Mosley?

  Yes, and much like in Salem, Oregon, where you brought together people at the coffee shop for stimulants, they brought people together for an illegal stimulant.

• 22:51Speaker 00

  I can see that. I mean, I don't, were they already proven guilty? Because I want to say they look very guilty, but I don't want to say that and get in trouble.

• 22:59Laci Mosley?

  I know. So, you know, this happened in 2024. So, you know, they got, they got some charges for sure. So Penn State is not an Ivy League school, but sometimes people think it is because they confuse it with the University of Pennsylvania, which is Penn, right? But Penn State is its own special place, which has had a lot going on. Like, I need Penn State to stay out of trouble, because-

• 23:20Speaker 00

  They tend to make a lot of news.

• 23:22Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, they do. I mean, they are-

• 23:23Speaker 00

  The Nittany Lions, I believe.

• 23:24Laci Mosley?

  Yes, they're in a field. I went to the University of Pittsburgh, so I'm very familiar with Penn State. We obviously had a lot of their prospective students like coming. Yes, we were. We were. And then, you know, their football program right now, so-

• 23:35Speaker 00

  So you're biased in this story.

• 23:36Laci Mosley?

  Am I biased? Yes, I mean, but it was so-

• 23:43Laci Mosley?

  Absolutely, absolutely. This is tainted. This is not journalism today. No, no, no, no, no. But like, it's a good school, you know what I mean? And it's also known, renowned to be a party school. When I think of like, a cocaine salesman at a college, I mean, both of these faces do seem like-

• 23:58Speaker 00

  Oh, 100%.

• 24:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 24:00Speaker 00

  Especially a guy named Agostino. Absolutely.

• 24:03Laci Mosley?

  Now, why you gotta stereotype Agostino like that?

• 24:05Speaker 00

  Not stereotype, just look at him. He look like a guy who sells pharmaceuticals.

• 24:10Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, he look like he always got a black backpack on him.

• 24:13Speaker 00

  Which is, obviously, really just shows racism in society. When you think of a drug dealer, people want to go to this guy, like, back in the day, Eazy-E, someone like that, or just any general rapper. But that's what a drug dealer look like, right there.

• 24:28Laci Mosley?

  See, okay, this is going to make me messed up, though, because if I had to choose between the two, I feel like Thomas might run a testing kit on his. You know what I mean?

• 24:37Speaker 00

  Who you think the boss? Who you think is the boss?

• 24:39Laci Mosley?

  Thomas might be getting prescriptions when he steal his dad's doctor pad.

• 24:43Speaker 00

  Oh, Thomas, right from Doctor, from Doctor Robinson, yeah.

• 24:46Laci Mosley?

  From Doctor Robinson. I feel like he might be doing a little squiggle for Doctor Robinson. And so we getting it straight, straight from the FDA and the A. You know what I mean? Agostino give me, like, he got a plug in Tijuana. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Agostino. I can say this, I'm also an ethnicity.

• 25:05Speaker 00

  That's how it works?

• 25:09Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, when you in ethnicity-

• 25:10Speaker 00

  This gives you unilateral.

• 25:11Laci Mosley?

  Yes, when you in ethnicity, you can just say, listen, I'm black. I don't believe in POC, but sometimes we can't be ethnicity together. We both ethnicity, you know what I mean?

• 25:19Speaker 00

  I'll take that.

• 25:19Laci Mosley?

  You see it.

• 25:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah. Oh, brother from another mother.

• 25:27Laci Mosley?

  So Penn State has been ranked number one. The Penn State, you know the babies, they done been ranked number one in partying, okay? They're known to throw down and have a wang dang doodle. The Princeton Review named them number one party school in America in 2009. Not the Princeton Review.

• 25:45Speaker 00

  Not the Princeton Review. How dare you?

• 25:47Laci Mosley?

  Like, y'all supposed to be telling us what programs to go to. They're like, oh, they got a great business school. Or like, not like, oh, you trying to turn up in the woods? Or not in the woods, but in the hayfields?

• 25:55Speaker 00

  I feel like Arizona State was always killing it. I feel like they were always number one in that.

• 25:59Laci Mosley?

  How do you dethrone Arizona State?

• 26:01Speaker 00

  That seems difficult.

• 26:02Laci Mosley?

  Because I feel like they work very hard at partying.

• 26:04Speaker 00

  And they got better weather.

• 26:05Laci Mosley?

  Yeah. And it's like, what is it, just rocks out there? That's the only danger, is they don't really got no grass. So you trip and fall at Arizona State, you know, you gonna be rocks and dirt.

• 26:14Speaker 00

  There's a lot of danger in Arizona. There's a lot of dangerous things.

• 26:21Laci Mosley?

  Armadillo?

• 26:22Speaker 00

  Armadillo, just-

• 26:25Laci Mosley?

  The people, the people, the people, number one danger.

• 26:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, my family, my niece and my nephew are out there. I put my niece in Taekwondo so that she could start beating up racist toddlers.

• 26:36Laci Mosley?

  Okay, you gotta start them young, okay?

• 26:38Speaker 00

  She don't take no mess.

• 26:39Laci Mosley?

  Push them down the slide, hang them off the monkey bars, whatever we gotta do. Yeah, I feel like Arizona State, that was like their leading thing. I think they should be upset the Princeton Review did them like this, because I feel like that's what they led with. They were like, come here for an education you won't remember.

• 26:54Speaker 00

  A time you'll never forget, and you will never remember.

• 26:58Laci Mosley?

  For an education you remember and a party you won't forget. How about that?

• 27:01Speaker 00

  Okay, we got the motto, alright.

• 27:03Laci Mosley?

  Arizona State, that just helps you out. That's it right there, yeah. That way we playing academics first.

• 27:06Speaker 00

  Okay, I'll give you 70, 30?

• 27:08Laci Mosley?

  Okay, yeah, we can go into a split on this. Arizona, pay us for the marketing.

• 27:11Speaker 00

  You started it, and then I helped, and then you finished it.

• 27:13Laci Mosley?

  Yes, we got it. That was a team. So This American Life did a story on it. Ira Glass went into a, went to a tailgate and learned about the fracket. So fracket, that's what Penn State girls called a cheap, ugly jacket that you can wear to a frat and get puked on, or lose it completely and not care. So this is a fracket. So basically, the parties are so lit at the Nittany Lions that you don't want to wear a jacket that you care about, because inevitably, somebody will projectile-

• 27:48Speaker 00

  Or you're gonna get vomited upon.

• 27:49Laci Mosley?

  Yeah. So you see here the material that's easy for wiping off. It's got kind of like a slick, water resistant.

• 27:56Speaker 00

  I mean, at this point, you really gotta be like, we just got a problem, you know?

• 28:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, I feel like if you got a dress for the splash zone-

• 28:03Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 28:04Laci Mosley?

  At a party.

• 28:05Speaker 00

  When you just, you were just like, well, I'm gonna puke, or get puked on, or there's gonna be some other liquids coming at me. You gotta change your ways. That's why they wrote that song about looking at the man in the mirror.

• 28:18Laci Mosley?

  They need to be looking at the man in the mirror?

• 28:19Speaker 00

  They got to.

• 28:20Laci Mosley?

  I feel like when they look in the mirror, it's moving. The man is-

• 28:24Laci Mosley?

  They can't quite keep a hold of where the man, it's two men in the mirror. And they're like, one of them is good, the other one is lit.

• 28:30Speaker 00

  The demon.

• 28:31Laci Mosley?

  I feel like having to prepare for something like that should definitely be a warning. I mean, when we were in college, we definitely, we would call it a liquor blanket. That's where you like, took a couple of shots, because it was freezing cold in the winter. And then you wear your, you know, hoochie outfit, and you go to some frat party called like CEOs and corporate hoes. You know, this is before we-

• 28:47Speaker 00

  College sounds terrible.

• 28:51Laci Mosley?

  It was great. It has its moments. But I never went to a party where you had to get ready for the splash zone, like, Shamu was about to pop out and, you know, hurl at you. So that's, that's a new one for me. So the school mascot, the Nittany Lion, was just a mountain- Nittany Lion.

• 29:08Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 29:08Laci Mosley?

  Okay, I was just gonna drive past that one, because I had a little flub. I had a little flub, and I was trying to do a drive-by. I was like, you know what I said? The Nittany Lion, which is just a mountain lion with a different name. And they don't remember where that name came from. Of course they don't. They was probably partying when they named it, so. And the lion looks a little lit, too. Like, look at the lion's mouth.

• 29:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, the Nittany Lion.

• 29:34Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, the Nittany Lion look like it's also gone off a few Four Loko's, before the FDA got involved.

• 29:40Speaker 00

  That, yeah, you think that a place would have a better budget for a mascot, that is-

• 29:45Laci Mosley?

  They say everybody lit anyway. Can't nobody see?

• 29:47Speaker 00

  Can't even see him. He's blurry.

• 29:48Laci Mosley?

  They said, just put the head on, bro. Ain't nobody gonna notice.

• 29:51Speaker 00

  Looks like a fuggle.

• 29:52Laci Mosley?

  So this year, Penn State is down to number nine on the party school rankings, behind current champion Tulane. Gotta get those numbers back up, Nittany Lion, okay? Not they started doing education more.

• 30:06Laci Mosley?

  That's a shame.

• 30:07Speaker 00

  They actually started learning over there? That's not what they paying for?

• 30:12Laci Mosley?

  I brought my fracket and it came home clean?

• 30:14Speaker 00

  Terrible time. Nobody puked on me.

• 30:16Laci Mosley?

  That's a recession indicator.

• 30:18Speaker 00

  That's true.

• 30:19Laci Mosley?

  It is. When the, when the college kids are like, I gotta get my education, bro. Like, I don't got money to waste here drinking, partying. No, no, no, no, no.

• 30:27Speaker 00

  It's not safe once I leave.

• 30:30Laci Mosley?

  When we was at college, we had that Asher Man. That party last night was awfully crazy. I wish we taped it, something like that. Actually, I was in high school when that came out. It was like, it was all, I love college, and I love drinking, and I love women.

• 30:45Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 30:45Laci Mosley?

  We all remember that one?

• 30:46Speaker 00

  I hear this song, yes. I think I've heard this before.

• 30:49Laci Mosley?

  It was very creative.

• 30:50Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 30:50Laci Mosley?

  I was in high school when it came out, but you know, yeah. Yeah, white people, but that's, you know, like, they're losing their culture. They're losing recipes, non-seasoned recipes.

• 30:59Speaker 00

  I know, I saw, I went to the state fair in Riley, they're still doing it. I saw this demolition derby.

• 31:05Laci Mosley?

  Oh, wow.

• 31:06Speaker 00

  I saw a handkerchief that was hand knitted for Christmas that said, I'm on my wife's naughty list. And I was like, that's white culture.

• 31:13Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 31:14Speaker 00

  They love being like, white culture loves being like, oh, I hate my wife.

• 31:19Laci Mosley?

  They really do. They get in groups and they be like, ah, so are wives, right? We hate them, right? We wanna hit them with our cars, right?

• 31:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, they really do. It's really funny.

• 31:28Laci Mosley?

  So every time I see my wife, I'm like.

• 31:29Speaker 00

  Yeah, like Al Bundy.

• 31:32Laci Mosley?

  Right, no, literally. I don't know where that came from. They gotta get rid of that. I just feel like culturally, there's just been too many family annihilators for them to keep going with that hate my wife joke.

• 31:41Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 31:42Laci Mosley?

  Like, I feel like if you're an upstanding white man who loves their wife, if you hear an I hate my wife joke, it makes come, you got to be, hey, man, I don't wanna have to call like Homeland Security on you, buddy. Cause these days, we can't take those as jokes, cause I don't wanna get divorced. So, we gotta take these as credible threats.

• 31:59Laci Mosley?

  I don't, these are the times we live in. You hear about that guy who was on the airplane who, like, they rerouted the airplane because a flight attendant saw his text to a coworker who was on the plane? And his text to the coworker was like, I'm gonna hijack this plane and crash only your row. But the lady only saw, I guess the flight attendant saw, I'm gonna hijack the plane. So she told the pilots, they quietly had the plane turn around, land, and arrested the guy. And he's like in his twenties. He's clearly joking, cause he said like, I'm gonna crash your row only, but like, no, they don't play no more. Ain't nobody playing about these things.

• 32:29Speaker 00

  No, it's just not the time.

• 32:31Laci Mosley?

  It's not.

• 32:31Speaker 00

  What you see a lot in media and art, and it's what I've really been enjoying. When people have been standing up, like, with the things where like Michelle Obama or people making jokes about her, or just black women in general, that people go, no, now not, we're not doing that right now.

• 32:47Laci Mosley?

  I mean, April Fools don't even hit no more. Nobody does jokes. We're like, it's just, we can't joke around right now, guys. It's too serious.

• 32:53Speaker 00

  My son is great at April Fools because of the autism. He's actually tremendous. It's one of my favorite days of the year.

• 32:59Laci Mosley?

  So he's pranking you all day?

• 33:00Speaker 00

  Oh, he's great, but because he loves rules. That's one of his things with his autism, is he likes following rules. And so pranks are kinda like breaking rules. So he will do a prank, but then he will leave a sticky note that labels each prank. So I will wake up and there was a plastic spider, and then next to the plastic spider will be a sticky note that says, plastic spider. And then this last year, now that he's 23 and getting older, my favorite sticky note just said, toothpaste come.

• 33:30Laci Mosley?

  Toothpaste come?

• 33:31Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm. It was supposed to be cum, but it's just toothpaste.

• 33:34Laci Mosley?

  Oh, okay. I thought you were saying put something in the toothpaste. Okay, all right. I was like, that would've been.

• 33:39Speaker 00

  That would've been cum toothpaste.

• 33:40Laci Mosley?

  Okay, okay. And see, this is why grammar matters. This is why people need commas.

• 33:46Laci Mosley?

  Okay? Okay, this is why we don't need AI, because I was scared for a second.

• 33:50Speaker 00

  Oh, I was for a minute, too.

• 33:51Laci Mosley?

  So some previous scandals at Penn State. In the fall of 2011, the school was rocked by sexual abuse case involving former football defense coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

• 34:01Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, Sandusky.

• 34:03Laci Mosley?

  And we definitely, definitely do not need to get into those crimes now because they are very dark, or how the university officials cover up, which was also dark. And they did take a huge punishment for that, their athletic team did, which they absolutely should have, because what the fuck going on?

• 34:15Speaker 00

  How come, like, and I know not make fun or light, but like, when some people who do that, they have names that sound like they do it.

• 34:22Laci Mosley?

  Sandusky sound like he doing everything they said he did.

• 34:25Speaker 00

  Right?

• 34:26Laci Mosley?

  And was covering up and just being weird as fuck.

• 34:29Speaker 00

  I think for a while after, I'd be like, ooh, that's Sandusky motherfucker. Anytime they were like, a little shifty.

• 34:34Laci Mosley?

  It wasn't a good last name to begin with. I feel like the whole lineage should change their last name. Y'all can just go by Dusk now.

• 34:41Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, y'all be the Dusks, okay? Just get rid of it. Just throw the whole name out. So we're gonna keep things light, though, and talk about cocaine.

• 34:48Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 34:49Laci Mosley?

  So the new coke ring. 24-year-old Penn State student Augustino.

• 34:53Speaker 00

  Cocaine?

• 34:55Laci Mosley?

  Have I ever done cocaine?

• 34:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 34:57Laci Mosley?

  My mom might watch this podcast, therefore absolutely not.

• 35:03Speaker 00

  Okay, I wasn't sure.

• 35:04Laci Mosley?

  Never even seen it.

• 35:06Speaker 00

  But you also have a vibe that maybe.

• 35:09Laci Mosley?

  I heard it has a crazy odor that makes you real energetic.

• 35:12Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's what made me feel like maybe you had tried it.

• 35:15Laci Mosley?

  No, I just heard about the crazy odor, you know?

• 35:20Laci Mosley?

  People really love the smell of it. Yeah, yeah. Apparently makes them real energetic.

  So, uh, this is our 24-year-old. Now he looks way more like a drug dealer.

• 38:07Speaker 00

  He really does. Oh, that's him now. He's hardened.

• 38:10Laci Mosley?

  So, um, he was recently arrested for being the ringleader of a drug-dealing enterprise. He's an accounting major. Okay, so he's applied, applied research, you know what I mean? He got, he was probably keeping the books nice and good.

• 38:22Speaker 00

  Applying to math.

• 38:23Laci Mosley?

  So including him and 13 former students have been charged. See, the ring is too big. Why you got 13 people in their early twenties a part of anything? That's too many people. You thought this wasn't gonna get out? 13 people whose frontal lobes have not developed.

• 38:37Speaker 00

  All I'm learning about this more and more is that you probably, you probably got something going on. You probably a criminal yourself because you.

• 38:45Laci Mosley?

  Me?

• 38:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 38:46Laci Mosley?

  Oh, no, no.

• 38:47Speaker 00

  You really, immediately you sit through it, and you immediately you find the, the, where it's like, will fall apart, which tells me that, like, you, if someone wanted to build a criminal empire.

• 38:58Laci Mosley?

  No, no, no. I don't go here. I'm just a part of this community.

• 39:03Speaker 00

  I'm trying to blow this, but yeah, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't wanna get.

• 39:08Laci Mosley?

  I got notes.

• 39:08Speaker 00

  I'm not trying to get taken out.

• 39:10Laci Mosley?

  You know, I got notes, that's all. So Augustino apparently made processing and packaging cocaine part of the hazing ritual for on-campus fraternities. Now, given the hazing rituals we've been seeing throughout the years, you know, which are tend to be, like, tend to be, you know, little.

• 39:28Speaker 00

  Lot of butt stuff.

• 39:29Laci Mosley?

  Sexual and homoerotic and demeaning.

• 39:33Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:33Laci Mosley?

  And, and, you know, eat weird stuff or like, you know, be shamed for the rest of your life. I feel like bag up this cocaine in your underwear and let's have a sweatshop is.

• 39:45Speaker 00

  It's like an internship, if anything.

• 39:47Laci Mosley?

  You can get applied skills.

• 39:48Speaker 00

  You can throw that on your resume, I would think.

• 39:50Laci Mosley?

  Right.

• 39:51Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 39:51Laci Mosley?

  Now you've worked on an assembly line. Yeah, I feel like we're getting some intro to business here.

• 39:56Speaker 00

  Yeah, you learn, you're trustworthy.

• 39:58Laci Mosley?

  Yes, see, this is building trust.

• 40:00Speaker 00

  Unless you're the one of the people who snitched, then maybe not.

• 40:03Laci Mosley?

  Exactly. This is real trust, though. We all did like a class A felony together. Like, that's real trust. Versus like, we all like touched each other's like butts.

• 40:12Speaker 00

  That is wild to think that you could trust 12 other people.

• 40:15Laci Mosley?

  It's too many people to trust. So other schools use classic hazing rituals, like we talk about, like chugging the beers, or sneaking a horse into the dean's office, or an old-fashioned homoerotic paddling. But at Penn State, frat bros made prospective members cut and package cocaine for them. So they say, you work for us. I mean, how would you feel if you were joining a fraternity and they were like, all right? You go down to the basement and they just got bricks down there, like, and scales.

• 40:43Speaker 00

  I would be terrified. From, A, I'm like, how did I get in a fraternity? This is really outside of my nature.

• 40:50Laci Mosley?

  It's traitors all over again.

• 40:51Speaker 00

  Exactly. And then it was, I was like, oh, I thought the most scary part was gonna be having to learn. Learn how to do my steps, but now I got to package up a brick? No.

• 40:59Laci Mosley?

  See, I feel like this is where your autism would come in handy. Because you probably be the most chill person there. Like, other people be freaking out like, what, bro? Like, everybody else has to be convinced you're already putting on gloves in the corner like,

• 41:14Laci Mosley?

  Okay, and how much are we putting in these bags? Somebody hand me a scoop.

• 41:17Speaker 00

  That is wild. I mean, that's smart business to figure out, like, oh, you don't have to pay these people because it's part of the hazing.

• 41:23Laci Mosley?

  Right. So now you're cutting out a cost. Cutting out labor.

• 41:28Speaker 00

  Yeah. If you don't consider the legalities of it, I mean, pretty smart plan.

• 41:32Laci Mosley?

  It's a pretty smart plan. So frat brothers at the Delta Upsilon house were selling cocaine to each other that they got from Agostino, who was a member of Sigma Chi. Agostino was getting the coke from a hookup via his frat brother Lars Zip That, also an accounting major.

• 41:48Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 41:49Laci Mosley?

  Lars, wow.

• 41:50Speaker 00

  Lars is in there.

• 41:52Laci Mosley?

  So you kind of mapped this out well, because you said Agostino was the plug, but then now we know that his main supplier was Lars Zip That.

• 41:59Speaker 00

  Absolutely, from a different, different place, probably.

• 42:03Laci Mosley?

  Now Lars seems like he's keeping his hands clean, like he'll never touch dope. He got a bowtie on, sunglasses, because he probably definitely on his own supply.

• 42:11Speaker 00

  He's like Lydia from Breaking Bad.

• 42:14Laci Mosley?

  Yes, yes, I feel like he got a plan.

• 42:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, he just wears a blue dress, he don't want to see anything.

• 42:19Laci Mosley?

  So when Lars' hookup ran dry, Agostino found another one in his hometown of Long Island and started to buy a lot more and distribute it. So he went from Lars, it was probably a smaller time operation, Lars probably had a homeboy, or maybe his older brother or something, and then allegedly, I don't know the exact setup here, but they ran out of cocaine and he was like, I need a new plug because I got a business.

• 42:41Speaker 00

  But he's upgrading.

• 42:43Laci Mosley?

  So now he's getting it from somebody else in Long Island.

• 42:46Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 42:47Laci Mosley?

  Which I can't imagine my cocaine from Long Island would be like, are they known for that?

• 42:51Speaker 00

  I, I think you definitely. Have you been there?

• 42:54Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, I mean, it feels like their community would participate in cocaine activities. I just don't know if they would be making the best product.

• 43:00Speaker 00

  No, I wouldn't say high-quality product, but do they have it? Oh, for sure.

• 43:04Laci Mosley?

  Oh, for sure, for sure.

• 43:05Speaker 00

  Absolutely, easily.

• 43:06Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, absolutely. Sure, like the firemen, everybody.

• 43:09Speaker 00

  Did a club there, they paid me in cash, so I know, for sure.

• 43:13Laci Mosley?

  No, for sure, no, I don't doubt that at all. Actually, I really don't doubt that, because I, I've worked on Long Island, like, at the Hamptons, and there were definitely some cocaine salesmen out there, for sure. I don't think, I think in the Hamptons would be better, but like, Long Island, Long Island, who knows what you're getting over there?

• 43:28Speaker 00

  No, not at all.

• 43:29Laci Mosley?

  Probably got some cigarette butts in it or something.

• 43:33Laci Mosley?

  I wouldn't trust it. So Delta Upsilon member Thomas Robinson seen here in a blazer, drinking a White Claw.

• 43:40Speaker 00

  Wow, they couldn't look, man, I couldn't cast this better.

• 43:43Laci Mosley?

  Right, like, all of these people look like they're involved in selling cocaine at Penn State.

• 43:47Speaker 00

  A hundred percent.

• 43:48Laci Mosley?

  Like, y'all do the movie when y'all get out of jail, we don't need to get nobody else. So Thomas ran the downstream logistics and distribution for the operation, selling the coke to students via Snapchat, because you know.

• 43:59Speaker 00

  Because you, nothing delete.

• 44:00Laci Mosley?

  Disappears.

• 44:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, oh, yeah.

• 44:01Laci Mosley?

  Unless the government gets involved.

• 44:03Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah, our people just take a screenshot.

• 44:06Laci Mosley?

  I don't understand why you wouldn't use Signal in this day and age. I mean, that's where Pete Hex says does all our military stuff.

• 44:13Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's wild.

• 44:14Laci Mosley?

  Super safe.

• 44:15Speaker 00

  Yeah, I don't, but it's, I mean, if a lady tells me she has Signal, I just don't trust her.

• 44:20Laci Mosley?

  Fair. I mean,

• 44:27Laci Mosley?

  see, that's a part of, that's a part of your new autism stuff, okay? Because before that, I feel like you would have trusted me if I had Signal, you would have, you would have had an eye.

• 44:33Speaker 00

  No, what you signaling? What you, what you signaling and deleting?

• 44:36Laci Mosley?

  Sometimes you gotta throw in a little smoke signal, okay? Listen, it could be for activism, okay? Listen, the revolution can't be televised, okay? Sometimes we gotta get some activism on there. You don't know what I'm getting active with.

• 44:45Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 44:46Laci Mosley?

  So, uh, finance major Michael Brogno Jr. packaged and delivered the coke as a frat pledge. Oh, he seemed real dedicated to being a pledge. You know, he was, you just know he was gonna be like a circuit court, like, uh, judge, you know?

• 45:02Speaker 00

  It's just wild, you could, he of all people still, like, he has his baby fat still. He still looks like a kid.

• 45:09Laci Mosley?

  I mean, I can just see, like, judge, and this all coming back to him, and them holding it against him, and then, you know, him getting people off for stuff that they definitely should go to jail for.

• 45:18Speaker 00

  I hope so, I hope he turns his life around.

• 45:21Laci Mosley?

  I mean, I, this is quite the charge, so if he was looking to get anything like that, but he's a finance major, so this is right up his alley.

• 45:27Speaker 00

  Well, I tell you, his prep baseball days are over.

• 45:30Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, well, prep seems, is that, is that good?

• 45:34Speaker 00

  No, no, that's, no.

• 45:35Laci Mosley?

  Was he a good baseball player? I don't think he had a career in that. So, um, 20-year-old Seth Beardsley, another Delta Upsilon member, Epsilon, excuse me, packaged the coke and used a digital scale to measure it out, and he probably did a good job because he is like the supply chain information systems major. So I love that everybody's major is really aligning up with how they can work in the cocaine business.

• 46:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, they really are just using their applications, they're applying their schoolwork into everyday lab function.

• 46:09Laci Mosley?

  And supply chain information is hard. I had to take, like, um, operations management, and like, I had to take a class where you basically learn how, like, FedEx and UPS and all of these places get all of their packages distributed across the country, and like, get them there in a certain amount of time, there's like all these very complicated math problems, so distribution is like a hard, you know, subject matter, so he was really killing it, and he still had time to turn up. Got good jawline, looked like he was working out.

• 46:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, getting his hair done.

• 46:36Laci Mosley?

  If anything, these people were starting a small business. You know, it seems like everybody is using their education. I don't know if this is like a bad advertisement for Penn State, because it's really like, you can get your education and apply it immediately.

• 46:48Speaker 00

  Yeah, you not even have to graduate, and you're making connections that'll last you a lifetime, through thick and thin.

• 46:54Laci Mosley?

  Through thick and thin.

• 46:55Speaker 00

  Whether you're in jail together or not.

• 46:56Laci Mosley?

  Right, through charges, through indictments.

• 46:59Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 47:00Laci Mosley?

  Yes, and also, we have to think about the fact that everybody wants you to leave college with experience these days, and they are getting the experience while they are in school.

• 47:09Speaker 00

  What's the difference between them and Microsoft, really?

• 47:12Laci Mosley?

  That was a startup to start, you know what I mean? Like, well, all these tech entrepreneurs start stuff in their garage, all these boys needed was to put down the White Claw and pick up a black turtleneck.

• 47:23Laci Mosley?

  Visionary.

• 47:24Speaker 00

  Nice, that's quick, I love that.

• 47:25Laci Mosley?

  Visionary, so.

• 47:27Speaker 00

  Is there gonna be more people, or was that them?

• 47:30Laci Mosley?

  I mean, this is, we, we have other people, but, you know, these are the main characters.

• 47:33Speaker 00

  I'm just really happy there hasn't been a black person yet.

• 47:35Laci Mosley?

  Now, you know it wasn't gonna be no black person in this.

• 47:37Speaker 00

  I, you, sometimes there's one, there's one that looks like.

• 47:40Laci Mosley?

  You're right, and he looks like he ain't never been around, uh, black people in his life.

• 47:43Speaker 00

  Exactly.

• 47:44Laci Mosley?

  He got frosted tips.

• 47:45Speaker 00

  Looks like Keegan Michael Key, and.

• 47:48Speaker 00

  Well, thank you, spit your water.

• 47:49Laci Mosley?

  No, don't, Keegan Michael?

• 47:52Speaker 00

  I didn't say is Keegan Michael Key, but looks like.

• 47:57Laci Mosley?

  He definitely got some frosted tips, or he tried to perm his hair once.

• 48:00Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 48:01Laci Mosley?

  He wore, he wore a lot of Hollister back in the day, yeah, you're right, he could be in here. His name's Trevor.

• 48:06Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 48:07Laci Mosley?

  Or Jalen.

• 48:11Laci Mosley?

  So the whole operation got started in 2023. Damn, y'all got caught after one year? A year is a good amount of time for a college campus, but I'm disappointed in you. So by the end of that year, pledges to Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon were packing half a gram bags of coke as a part of their hazing. Thomas tried to identify trustworthy pledges and used a so-called steady hand test to determine if they could cut cocaine. Now, considering that they used to have jackets to wear to frats so that if they got thrown up on, I'm pretty sure people are drinking enough that maybe they might start getting that little alcohol shake, so maybe.

• 48:44Speaker 00

  They had them keep everybody out. It's also weird, because it used to be like, oh, we don't want you if you're, you're too ugly, or pimply, or fat, and now they're like, we gotta make sure you can cut the coke.

• 48:53Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, yeah, this is, yeah, these are more like Noriega-esque rules, yeah, we just gotta make sure you can cut the brick, okay? That's all. Do you like Jeezy?

• 49:03Laci Mosley?

  Okay, we can fuck with this, we can fuck with this. So he'd have three pledges stand in a line and hold out their hands. If their hands were steady, they were allowed to continue to help him, although they did not know the task that they were being asked to do. So it's probably one of the least weird things that the pledges were asked to do, was just like, hold out their hands, yeah.

• 49:21Speaker 00

  Wow, I can imagine just being the shaky hand person, and that's what kept you out of jail.

• 49:26Laci Mosley?

  Damn, you're right. Like, maybe that day you took, like, your, uh, ADHD medication on an empty stomach, and you was like.

• 49:32Speaker 00

  A little jittery.

• 49:33Laci Mosley?

  Maybe your iron was low, and that saved you from prison.

• 49:36Speaker 00

  That's beautiful.

• 49:37Laci Mosley?

  Also, if I'm in this fraternity.

• 49:38Speaker 00

  Look at the.

• 49:39Laci Mosley?

  Right. Look at my iron, my low iron helping me, okay? Sometimes it's a blessing, okay?

• 49:45Speaker 00

  Rejection is my protection.

• 49:47Laci Mosley?

  Amen. Also, if I'm pledging this fraternity, and I'm, you know, cook, cooking up the, the yayo, I'm definitely getting in, right? I don't think you could kick anybody off of this line, right? Like, everyone has to get in.

• 50:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, I feel like that, that's, then it's like Epstein.

• 50:04Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 50:05Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 50:06Laci Mosley?

  See, I feel like day one of chopping up the coke, maybe I would be there for day one, and then after day one, I would just stop showing up, and I'd be like, but I'm in the fraternity, right? Because I know about the chopping up the coke.

• 50:16Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's really smart.

• 50:18Laci Mosley?

  Like, what you gonna do?

• 50:18Speaker 00

  I mean, that's probably how they, I mean, you'll tell me how they went down, but.

• 50:21Laci Mosley?

  Right.

• 50:21Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:23Laci Mosley?

  So then, he would have the pledges sign a non-disclosure form, and took them to the fraternity's boiler room, where a folding table was set up with goggles, glass dishes, and the dime bags. So NDAs don't cover crime, but I guess if you're young in college, maybe an NDA will seem like.

• 50:40Speaker 00

  Yeah, I mean, who's gonna look into it?

• 50:42Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, I signed a non-disclosure for this crime I was doing. Makes sense to me. So Thomas put a brick of cocaine on the folding table. One of the pledges shredded the coke while Thomas added creatine to the mix.

• 50:57Speaker 00

  Wild.

• 50:58Laci Mosley?

  Okay, creatine, so.

• 50:59Speaker 00

  I've heard like baby formula.

• 51:00Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, baby formula, or a laxative people add, or something like that to cut it, so creatine, so I guess they're getting.

• 51:07Speaker 00

  They're getting their, getting their gains.

• 51:09Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 51:09Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 51:10Laci Mosley?

  I tried to drink creatine once before a workout, and I had, like, I got hives. That stuff is really strong.

• 51:16Speaker 00

  It can be strong, and they can, yeah, I used to take it too, but then it was, I don't, it was, I was having some issue with it, I don't recall, but I stopped.

• 51:24Laci Mosley?

  It just felt like crack, and I was like, I don't think I need workout crack.

• 51:28Speaker 00

  No.

• 51:28Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 51:29Speaker 00

  No.

• 51:29Laci Mosley?

  So I honestly, they could have just gave them the creatine, but you know what? They were, they were being ethical, they were sprinkling a little, sprinkling a little of the cocaine in as well.

• 51:36Speaker 00

  Get your game.

• 51:37Laci Mosley?

  The drug business was passed down through the frat, handed off by brothers who were graduating or studying abroad.

• 51:44Speaker 00

  They should have just mixed it, cocaine, a little Adderall, some, um, creatine.

• 51:49Laci Mosley?

  Now who's pitching a crime?

• 51:51Speaker 00

  Protein powder?

• 51:51Laci Mosley?

  Now who's got crime ideas?

• 51:53Speaker 00

  I, I just feel like it's just one-stop shop now, now they're like, boom, one powder to do everything.

• 51:59Laci Mosley?

  I don't know if this should be a legacy business, though. I feel like if y'all had people who were keeping their mouth shut, who were doing this, why keep bringing new people in? That just feels like a risk.

• 52:07Speaker 00

  It's asking for trouble.

• 52:09Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 52:09Speaker 00

  For people who are graduating, I guess.

• 52:11Laci Mosley?

  You know, they were like, look, I have an internship at JP Morgan Chase.

• 52:15Speaker 00

  I gotta get out of here.

• 52:17Laci Mosley?

  I can't sell coke anymore, okay? Once I move the tassel over, I'm no longer a dope boy, okay? Now I'm a Wall Street dope boy, okay? So frat culture already relies on a code of silence, so pledges new not to tell outsiders about the operation. The Pennsylvania Attorney General called them "a coordinated and highly profitable drug trafficking crew." Hmm, very curious as the Attorney General's saying "highly profitable." It's given they started making too much money.

• 52:43Speaker 00

  Hmm, yeah. Also, why are they giving compliments?

• 52:48Laci Mosley?

  Because they're all white.

• 52:49Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:50Laci Mosley?

  That's why.

• 52:50Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:51Laci Mosley?

  They were like, "Look at these young, promising men, okay? This is highly lucrative," some would say, "a startup."

• 52:56Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 52:57Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 52:57Speaker 00

  And it's the same as the Erykah Badu song, "Other Side of the Game."

• 53:01Laci Mosley?

  Exactly, but for them, it's not dope boys, okay? These are like cocaine pharmacists, if you will. (singing)

• 55:55Speaker 00

  Yeah, you gotta work at Cash.

• 55:56Laci Mosley?

  I just feel like drugs is one of those places where Cash is still king.

• 56:01Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 56:01Laci Mosley?

  I mean, you just really shouldn't be zelling for drugs. Like, it's one thing if-

• 56:06Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, never.

• 56:07Laci Mosley?

  Yeah. Never, never.

• 56:11Speaker 00

  Never was.

• 56:12Laci Mosley?

  I'm just saying, like, as a consumer, perhaps, zelling is okay for you one time, but if you are the supplier, you're just getting constant new zells. That's gonna look suspicious.

• 56:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's for sure.

• 56:25Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 56:26Speaker 00

  Yeah, especially when they have, like, little- when the people are putting emojis for-

• 56:30Laci Mosley?

  Right, it's like several snowflakes.

• 56:32Speaker 00

  Yeah. A leaf, leaves.

• 56:35Laci Mosley?

  It's just the emoji with the eyes wide open.

  You're like, "Yeah, bro." They're like, "Hey, man, next time, can you not put emojis on it? Because like, you're making it hot."

• 56:44Speaker 00

  Yeah, the candy cane.

• 56:46Laci Mosley?

  Right. Like, this guy sells a lot of candy. We should probably look into this. Yeah, it's just, come on, Snapchat and Venmo. Y'all were doing so well. I just feel like, come on. Especially like cocaine, like maybe to your weed salesman, you know, a restricted drug like that, like Cash, guys. Just go to the ATM. So in 2024, a confidential informant told police that a man using the nickname T-Rob had been selling cocaine from the Delta Upsilon Fraternity House and accepting Venmo payments under his username Tom Robinson.

• 57:17Speaker 00

  That sounds right. Also, just a terrible nickname. That's when you know you've got no personality, when your nickname is just your regular name shortened up.

• 57:26Laci Mosley?

  It's giving Malibu's Most Wanted.

• 57:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, truly.

• 57:29Laci Mosley?

  Like, T-Rob.

• 57:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's true. It's absolutely Malibu's Most Wanted.

• 57:34Laci Mosley?

  Hey, yo, T-Rob. Hey, man, hit up T-Rob. We need some of that blow for tonight. Hit up T-Rob. Yeah, like, at this point, just go by Tom Robinson, the cocaine salesman, because what are you doing?

• 57:45Speaker 00

  Call me that, I'm T-Rob.

• 57:47Laci Mosley?

  T-Rob. Y'all be tripping. Like, what is happening?

• 57:51Speaker 00

  Let me cook.

• 57:53Laci Mosley?

  When police raided Thomas Robinson's room at the frat house, he thought he was being pranked, so he didn't follow their orders. They tasered him.

• 58:00Speaker 00

  Nice. I don't think I videoed that. Those are some of my favorite videos.

• 58:06Laci Mosley?

  You know what? I love his caucasity. He was like, "I am a white boy in college named T-Rob. You're not raiding my home." And then they tased him.

• 58:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 58:15Laci Mosley?

  Damn, they tased T-Rob? That's wild.

• 58:17Speaker 00

  I love watching people get- not everybody, you know, people sometimes are quick to taze, but if you're coming entitled and like, "Oh, what are you gonna tell me?" And then they end up tased. Ugh, I love those videos.

• 58:28Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, I feel like T-Rob got tased, and Tom Robinson wouldn't have got tased. He should have straightened right up and went into Tom Robinson.

• 58:33Speaker 00

  And Thomas Robinson came out.

• 58:34Laci Mosley?

  Jumped out. It was like, "Wait, hold on, fellas. My name is Thomas Robinson."

• 58:38Speaker 00

  I'm cooperating.

• 58:39Laci Mosley?

  You've got the wrong guy. So cops found a 220-gram bag of marijuana, pill bottles, drug paraphernalia, and a handgun and ammo-

• 58:48Speaker 00

  How many grams?

• 58:49Laci Mosley?

  In the safe. 220-gram bag of marijuana. Yes.

• 58:53Speaker 00

  That's a lot of grams.

• 58:54Laci Mosley?

  Also, T-Rob, you don't have a place that you can store this stuff? You had it in your dorm on campus? And you just thought that was the place to hide your drugs?

• 59:03Speaker 00

  Again, he didn't, he needed you. He needed a partner.

• 59:06Laci Mosley?

  I just, T-Rob, what are you doing? And you got a handgun? T-Rob, who you shooting?

• 59:12Speaker 00

  The RA?

• 59:13Laci Mosley?

  Hey, break yourself.

• 59:18Laci Mosley?

  Let's make this quick. I gotta find him at 3:30. Like, what is happening? So Thomas ratted on Agostino as his supplier. Come on, T-Rob, why are you ratting people out?

• 59:27Speaker 00

  I knew Agostino was the supplier.

• 59:30Laci Mosley?

  And the whole coke ring was exposed. See, y'all are not real thugs, because snitch is supposed to get stitches. What do you mean you threw Agostino under the bus immediately?

• 59:39Speaker 00

  Oh, you know T-Rob gonna turn.

• 59:41Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, T-Rob didn't stand a chance. Agostino was charged with felony counts of illegal drug possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy. He failed to show up for his August arraignment, but turned himself in the next day. If you're not gonna show, why not just show up to arraignment? Were you gonna go on the run, Agostino?

• 1:00:00Speaker 00

  He was thinking about it.

• 1:00:02Laci Mosley?

  Mm, he was trying to do the race, like, take care. That was not gonna happen. Shortly after Thomas was released from jail, his dad, Paul, helped him retrieve a safe full of drugs and cash that one of his fraternity brothers buried in the woods near Penn State.

• 1:00:15Speaker 00

  No, Paul.

• 1:00:17Laci Mosley?

  Now, Paul, you're supposed to be smarter than T-Rob.

• 1:00:19Speaker 00

  Yeah, why would you go, Paul?

• 1:00:20Laci Mosley?

  P-Rob, really?

• 1:00:21Speaker 00

  P-Rob, what?

• 1:00:23Laci Mosley?

  You're not supposed to go get the drugs immediately. They watching you, P-Rob.

• 1:00:27Speaker 00

  They got eyes on you, P-Rob.

• 1:00:30Laci Mosley?

  So Penn State said the Delta Upsilon Frat House is facing interim suspension. Sigma Chi operates outside the school's oversight, so nothing has changed for them.

• 1:00:39Speaker 00

  Oh, nice.

• 1:00:40Laci Mosley?

  Of course Sigma Chi operates outside of the school's oversight, because-

• 1:00:44Speaker 00

  I didn't know you could just do that.

• 1:00:45Laci Mosley?

  I don't think you should be able to do that.

• 1:00:47Speaker 00

  It seems like you shouldn't.

• 1:00:48Laci Mosley?

  No, because frat's notoriously, even within school oversight.

• 1:00:52Speaker 00

  If there's students in the school in the frat, you feel like they should have some type of oversight.

• 1:00:56Laci Mosley?

  I feel like always.

• 1:00:57Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:00:57Laci Mosley?

  Because notoriously, they have not made good decisions, especially at this university. I feel like if your school is ranked anywhere in the Princeton Review for partying, definitely every party house should be a part of the school's oversight. So Sigma Chi was like, "Good." They were like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we was dope boys, but technically, we off-campus still, boys."

• 1:01:14Speaker 00

  Yeah, we don't even go here. We don't even know you like that.

• 1:01:18Laci Mosley?

  I love that that worked out for them. I don't, but it is hilarious to me. Paul, why would you get involved in this? T-Rob's dad, what was the goal here of getting the drugs out of the woods?

• 1:01:28Speaker 00

  That's just when you love your kid too much, and you're willing to go do anything. And he was probably taught to him, "Hey, go pick this up." Oh, unless P-Rob was involved from the get-go.

• 1:01:39Laci Mosley?

  I mean, P-Rob could-

• 1:01:42Laci Mosley?

  He was getting a nice cut of money. So maybe P. Rob was going to Long Island and getting the drops or something.

• 1:01:49Speaker 00

  Like Poo Shiesty's dad.

• 1:01:51Laci Mosley?

  Oh goodness, talk about bad father-son relationships. If you don't know who Poo Shiesty is, he's a very dumb rapper who was recently paroled. And then he tried to get out of his music contract with Gucci Mane by going to Gucci Mane's studio while like on live or like on Instagram and holding him up at gunpoint to get him to sign a contract releasing him from his deal because that's totally gonna hold up in court. And then stealing his jewelry. And then getting on Instagram and bragging with this man's jewelry.

• 1:02:18Speaker 00

  Well, no, he didn't do that. He didn't do the bragging.

• 1:02:21Laci Mosley?

  Oh, the friends did, right? But he was there.

• 1:02:24Speaker 00

  Yes, he was there.

• 1:02:25Laci Mosley?

  And his dad went with him out of state, which was already a violation of his parole before we even get into the whole like gun and you know, hostage.

• 1:02:32Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's real interesting. I've always, because I was a fan of his and then I'm like, oh man, I just get, I do love it when people are authentic. He was, he was saying, I'm doing this, I'm Shiesty, I'm the snake and you gotta look out for me and he was telling the truth.

• 1:02:50Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, no, he did the robbery.

• 1:02:51Speaker 00

  Yes.

• 1:02:52Laci Mosley?

  I don't know, I prefer the performative rappers who just like, I wanna feel good about being like, you know, rah rah rah. And I know we're all just like rah rah, but nobody's actually like shooting people.

• 1:03:04Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's your one rah rah rah.

• 1:03:06Laci Mosley?

  Like rah ta ta ta.

• 1:03:07Speaker 00

  Okay, I like doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

• 1:03:09Laci Mosley?

  Okay, doo doo doo is good too. Yes, okay, there's a lot of good ones.

• 1:03:13Speaker 00

  That's your, okay.

• 1:03:14Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, yeah, I love that, but I want it to be fake. I want it to be cosplay so that we can all just pretend we're gangsters. I don't want you actually out here shooting people. But Poo Shiesty, yeah, you're right, he lives by his words.

• 1:03:25Speaker 00

  He lived it.

• 1:03:26Laci Mosley?

  And I'm like, your dad was like, yeah, good idea, son. You literally just got on parole.

• 1:03:30Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:31Laci Mosley?

  Let's violate all of it.

• 1:03:33Speaker 00

  Yeah, you just got out, so much so that you just put out a song called First Day Out and then by the time that song was hitting the charts, you were back in. Wild.

• 1:03:44Laci Mosley?

  And I don't know if they gonna let him out again because they let him out a little early. I think they gonna keep him in there.

• 1:03:48Speaker 00

  They might keep him because the first thing was pretty wild.

• 1:03:51Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 1:03:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:03:53Laci Mosley?

  And you got a second chance. I just don't understand people who are just like not scared to go to jail. Like it's very dirty in there.

• 1:03:59Speaker 00

  Especially at that age, you still have so much of a life to live and he's actually pretty talented and just bad for hip hop, which was already struggling to then lose such a talented artist.

• 1:04:09Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:09Speaker 00

  I don't get it sometimes. Some people just don't know how to, you know, how to win, you know?

• 1:04:15Laci Mosley?

  And that's what's confusing to me. And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go with that for Paul as well because like if you Tom's dad, P. Rob, why not just wait until all the charges are dropped or, or you know, whatever sentencing happens and you know where the safe is in the woods? I'm sure the police don't. Why are you trying to go get it immediately during the ongoing investigation?

• 1:04:33Speaker 00

  He was worried that the police were gonna get to it first, that they were gonna find it. I don't know, we get paranoid, maybe we need money for the trial, everything. I see the stress of it, but I just wouldn't have never gone myself.

• 1:04:46Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:46Speaker 00

  I would have been like.

• 1:04:47Laci Mosley?

  You have to imagine that they're following you.

• 1:04:49Speaker 00

  Yeah, you gotta send somebody.

• 1:04:51Laci Mosley?

  Yes.

• 1:04:52Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:04:52Laci Mosley?

  I also do wanna know how they, like who snitched? Because that is not apparently like.

• 1:04:58Speaker 00

  I don't know, but if you go through those list of faces, there weren't very many trustworthy ones, there weren't many.

• 1:05:03Laci Mosley?

  Can we go through the faces real quick? Because let's see who looks like the rap. We're just gonna guess.

• 1:05:10Speaker 00

  No, no problem.

• 1:05:11Laci Mosley?

  So we're just gonna guess here as we wind down the episode because this is all like their charges are pending.

• 1:05:15Speaker 00

  He wasn't, he's the boss.

• 1:05:16Laci Mosley?

  Okay, so we know he wasn't the rap. Agostino wasn't the rap because he got ratted on. Now with glasses that thick, you should've saw this coming.

• 1:05:23Speaker 00

  The house definitely didn't snitch. Oh, no, because he was the big, he was one of the big suppliers, so definitely not.

• 1:05:30Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, but then remember his supply ran out and so he dried up, but he wouldn't rap because he got caught.

• 1:05:36Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:05:38Laci Mosley?

  And he wasn't the plug no more. Hmm, Thomas Robinson.

• 1:05:41Speaker 00

  Well, we know that he ratted.

• 1:05:44Laci Mosley?

  Well, he ratted on Agostino, but who ratted on him? Do we think Michael?

• 1:05:49Speaker 00

  I mean, look at that face.

• 1:05:52Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, that face just.

• 1:05:53Speaker 00

  That face says I'm not doing a day in prison.

• 1:05:56Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, you know what it is? It's like his lips are so thin, I feel like you gotta purse them to keep them together.

• 1:06:01Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:06:01Laci Mosley?

  Like I feel like he be talking a lot.

• 1:06:02Speaker 00

  His lips look like a tight vagina. So he, he not gonna last long in jail.

• 1:06:08Laci Mosley?

  Okay, wow, I was not.

• 1:06:14Laci Mosley?

  Not where I was going at all, but okay, do we think Seth?

• 1:06:21Speaker 00

  I feel like we found our guy.

• 1:06:23Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, yeah, Seth, Seth, we're not gonna, allegedly, we don't know who ratted. Yeah, he's probably at one of them parties in the splash zone, like I.

• 1:06:33Laci Mosley?

  We run the biggest cocaine cagaver in Penn State. Yeah, he definitely the one who let it leak.

• 1:06:39Speaker 00

  Allegedly.

• 1:06:40Laci Mosley?

  Yeah, allegedly, all alleged, but how do you feel about the scam overall, Rob?

• 1:06:45Speaker 00

  Eight out of 10. Would I watch it as a movie? Absolutely. I wanna see the scene where they're hazing you by making you slice up a brick of cocaine and you thought someone thinks they're gonna get their ass paddled, but they end up having to slice a brick. I think that's a fun scene I would watch. I, I love that again, no, no black people were harmed in the making of the scam. I'm a big fan of that always. And then everybody looked like they would scam you.

• 1:07:12Laci Mosley?

  Yes, everyone fits the profile of like what I would be looking for if I was looking for something shady on campus. Yes, I love thinking about like the frat guys coming down, like probably like pinched butt cheeks, like ready for whatever weird thing was gonna happen. They're like, hold out your hands. And they're like, in the Nazi thing? No, no, no, not the Nazi thing, not the Nazi thing, not right now. Right now, just hold it out steady. They don't even get to go by looks, it's just purely off of you can do this. They're like, all right, everybody stripped naked. It's literally only so they don't steal bags of coke. It has nothing to do with the humiliation ritual.

• 1:07:44Speaker 00

  That's what I'm saying, it's a fun, yeah, that would be really fun to watch.

• 1:07:47Laci Mosley?

  Yes, I mean, honestly, this scam, it feels like nobody got hurt. We haven't heard about any overdoses or anything like that. I mean, these kids were using their applied knowledge from the university. I don't, I don't know, I don't want them to go to jail that long.

• 1:08:04Speaker 00

  No, lock them up. Oh, you said not lock, long. Oh, okay, I thought you were saying you didn't want them to go to jail at all.

• 1:08:09Laci Mosley?

  No, they can go, they can definitely go.

• 1:08:10Speaker 00

  No, I just had a good time hearing about it.

• 1:08:13Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:14Speaker 00

  But you messed up and that's a bad thing you did, you shouldn't do that, go to jail.

• 1:08:17Laci Mosley?

  They could be guests of the state for a little bit, but then I feel like they could come out and you know, write a book or have a funny story.

• 1:08:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, do Dancing with the Stars.

• 1:08:27Laci Mosley?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:28Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:08:28Laci Mosley?

  They could pull a Tim Allen, except for hopefully not go MAGA.

• 1:08:31Speaker 00

  That's so funny.

• 1:08:32Laci Mosley?

  He was, he was a cocaine salesman, people don't know that, Mr. The Tool, Tim the Tool.

• 1:08:36Speaker 00

  I'm surprised you know that, actually.

• 1:08:38Laci Mosley?

  Yes, oh, freaking snitch and a jerk and a racist. Oh, bitch ass Tim.

• 1:08:49Laci Mosley?

  You know, and that's what I wanna go out on.

• 1:08:51Speaker 00

  I love that.

• 1:08:52Laci Mosley?

  And Rob, we always ask on this podcast, where would you like to be found? Anything you wanna plug, your social media, all of that.

• 1:08:57Speaker 00

  Of course, I wanna plug my special, Eat Cookies and Die. If you like me and like my comedy at all, it's out now on the Gorilla Comedy Plus app. Now you're probably saying, Rob, I don't wanna download any more apps. And I say, hey, got you, free code word, Funches, free weed, just go in, watch my special and then you can dip in and out as you please. We all be doing that. Just help me out because for my scam, if you go in and you use that code word and then you actually watch my thing, then they'll be like, oh, Rob was a movement, people actually came over and then they gonna give me more money to make more projects and I sorely need that so that I can stay home and go to my son's school events instead of being on the road every week. So that's what you could do for me or just follow me on YouTube at Rob Funches.

• 1:09:41Laci Mosley?

  Help Rob Funches be a father.

• 1:09:43Speaker 00

  Thank you.

• 1:09:44Laci Mosley?

  If you're not doing it, you're not helping be a father.

• 1:09:46Speaker 00

  Yes, if you don't watch my special, you're making me an absent father.

• 1:09:51Laci Mosley?

  Thus making yourself an accomplice to absent fatherhood. Yes, so you are the accomplice to the dead, you are the T. Rob.

• 1:09:59Speaker 00

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:10:00Laci Mosley?

  Of, of deadbeats.

• 1:10:01Speaker 00

  That's right.

• 1:10:02Laci Mosley?

  Mm-hmm.
