The Deacon Jacquis Neal (Crowd Control, Dropout TV) returns to the CONgregation, and today even the highest in the church grows weary. He shares nearly being fooled by a fake credit union posing as his own. Meanwhile, Laci regales Jacquis with the tale of a major pigeon heist: an organized crime ring in Belgium stealing elite racing pigeons worth millions, cutting into lofts to snatch champion birds. Stay schemin’!

Laci welcomes back comedians, actors, and podcasters Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas (How Did This Get Made?), and the pair immediately have a bone to pick with the studio: why is there a Chewbacca mural on the wall instead of one of them? Paul, Jason, and Laci then bond over their shared distrust of AI on social media before diving into a wild FBI sting that exposed former NBA players and coaches like Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones, who were allegedly involved in rigged poker games. Backed by the Mafia, the operation used insider information to cheat at sports betting on a multi-million-dollar scale. Stay schemin’!
