Scam Goddess

Surprising no one, golf courses remain racist, sexist, and overall just horribly hateful to any non-white, non-cisgendered, queer human hoping to hit the links. While some things have evolved, not all is fair in love and sports. Shaddowy golf brokers are out here stealing tee times! Comedian Zach Noe Towers joins us to talk about one of the most petty schemes to happen at a private club here in Los Angeles. Plus, we take a call from a member of the con-gregation who just barely survives a phone scam. Follow Us: Laci Mosley: divalaci Zach Noe Towers: zachnoetowers   We're on YouTube: Join us on YouTube!

The iconic stand-up comedian Ms. Pat makes her debut on Scam Goddess. Laci tries to gently break the news that the D.A.R.E. program was designed by the same man who was in charge when Rodney King was beaten by the police and who invented SWAT. Ms. Pat discusses sharing a Sears credit card, past scheming, and Smokey the Bear.  SOCIALS: Ms. Pat: @comediennemspat Laci Mosley: @divalaci    WE'RE ON YOUTUBE: Join us on YouTube!

Buying a car is stressful, but is it worth a stack to hire a middleman to negociate for you? Juruys still out, but comedian and voice of comedy central, David Gborie is here to help Laci get to the bottom of this scam. Along the way these long time friends discuss that time David bought fancy art in the middle of Colorado and why credit scores are a scham to withhold wealth from the Black community.  SOCIALS: David Gborie: @coolguyjokes87 Laci Mosley: @divalaci    WE'RE ON YOUTUBE: Join us on YouTube!
