Laci welcomes comedian, writer, and now dancer Andy Richter (Dancing with the Stars, The Three Questions Podcast ) to dig up the sauciest of cons by R&V Warren Farms. Between 1997 and 2003, as the most successful tomato farmers on the eastern seaboard, they swindled the government out of $9 million before investigators discovered that the B in their BLT stood for “bullshit.” Stay schemin’!

 

You can vote for Andy & Emma on "Dancing with the Stars" by texting ANDY to 21523 during show time (Tuesday from 8 pm to 10 pm ET & 5 pm to 7 pm PT)!
