If you can't buy a modeling career for $4.6 million, you simply weren't meant to strut runways or grace Vogue's pages. But that didn't stop Chanise Coyne from scamming parents across Florida out of millions, hoping their children would hit the big time. Coyne had no photos in her hands. Actor and comedian Brandon Kyle Goodman joins Laci Mosley for a mind-boggling trip into the Facebook pages, artist squabbles, and unbelievable bank accounts of America's wannabe models.

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.

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.

BookTok used to be the place where readers went to argue about their favorite authors, ship the gays, and learn which creatures their friends were sexually attracted to, and now, like all good things, it's being used to scam. Writer and comedian Ashley Ray joins Laci to discuss the Fyre Fest of book link-ups. A shared cabin, no food, in the middle of the wilderness could be a good time if properly funded; instead, it left a pack of women and one very nice male author hungry and feeling ripped off. Will there be justice or a second round of schemes?
