On today’s episode, Laci is joined by stand-up writer, actor, and comedian Dewayne Perkins (The Blackening, One of Them Days) to dive into the con of the century, unraveling the web of lies and false promises spun by John Ackah Blay-Miezah. In a story so wild it could be straight out of a movie—one that Dewayne himself might have written—they also discover how Shirley Temple got caught up in the chaos. Plus, Laci shares a surprising encounter with a cop who asked her out while on duty. Stay schemin'!
