Scammed

If you've been seeing Jameela's name everywhere lately and have no idea why, don't worry, we gotchu. Tiff and Nicole break down what's going on with the "Good Place" star--it's A LOT--and why everyone on Twitter is so mad about it. Plus, stop by the Kardashian Korner for Kourtney's tips on keeping your home green. In a word: LOL. 

Happy Valentine’s Day, scam fam! Just kidding, we don’t really care about V-Day, we just wanted an excuse to talk about love and dating scams. In this episode, Nicole explores the scammy origins of the holiday, and Tiff shares some tips on how not to get scammed online if you’re looking for a date. Plus, Nicole recounts one of her best dating scam stories OF ALL TIME. Also, in the Kardashian Korner: Kim and Kanye’s v suspicious Architectural Digest video and Kylie’s INSANE 2nd birthday party for Stormi.

Everyone's talking about #Megxit, so we had to give the people what they wanted. Nicole and Tiffany got a real life British person (and good friend), Rachel Richardson, to stop by and clue us in. Rachel's bombshell theory: Meghan and Harry tried to scam the queen--and failed. We explore the scammy beginnings of the monarchy itself and dissect where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went wrong in having their cake and eating it too. (Of course a British person came up with that phrase.) Plus, in the Kardashian Korner: Nicole might test out some of Kim Kardashian's SKIMS, and Khloe Kardashian is back at it again with the Fit Tea.

The day has finally come for Tiff and Nicole to discuss if art’s a scam. Inspired by that GD banana on a wall at Art Basel, your fearless hosts are brave enough to say what everyone else won’t:  yeah, duh, art’s a scam. Well. Art’s not a scam. The art world is a scam. Placing a monetary value on art is a scam. But art? Art’s tite. Allow us to explain. Also, in the Kardashian Korner, Kanye paints himself silver to further entice us to join his cult. Is he OK though? Like actually?

It’s easy to call Taylor Swift the girl who cried wolf — we’re not really sure when we can believe her. #Snakegate? Helleaux. So, yeah, sorry if we immediately thought this whole Scooter Braun thing was just another Taylor scam… But! Friend of the pod and WORLD’S BIGGEST SWIFTIE Lizzy Hale stops by to explain the feud, and you might be surprised at the details. (Tiff and Nicole were…) Also, in the Kardashian Korner, we kongratulate Kylie on her $600 million cosmetics deal and wonder when the fuck this giant grift will ever end.

On this episode, friend of the pod and SCAMMED's white tech bro correspondent Peter Conforti joins Tiff and Nicole to break down the spectacularly shameful (and equal parts beautiful) WeWork scam. How does a real estate company parading around Silicon Valley as a technology company lose more than half of its (potential) value in just over a month? All the stars have to align....and, damn, did they align. At the time of publication of this episode, WeWork's much anticipated IPO has been postponed indefinitely, and infamous founder Adam Neumann has stepped down as CEO (but not without a $1.7 billion payout, of course). We also revisit Tiff's early prediction and warning about the rise of the Church of Kanye, which is not only in full force but also may be his greatest financial scam of all time. "Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West" (yes, he's legally changing his name to that) claims that God gave him a $68 million tax refund because he is now “in service to Christ.” Kanye is definitely reaping the benefits of the massive tax break bestowed upon the ultra-wealthy by his BFF Donald Trump, but Is he ALSO reaping the benefits of a religious tax exemption now that he has started a musical ministry?

Soooo, Trisha Paytas is trans? At least she said so on YouTube...kind of. Tiff recaps a handful of Trisha's previous clickbait scams and the (several) mixed messages in her latest video. We have a lot of questions. Also, Nicole throws a flag on the Kardashian Kloset, the Kardashian-Jenners' latest grift to steal our hard-earned money. (Reselling their used Fashion Nova pieces for literally the same retail price? Oh yes they did.) As the old idiom goes, the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder.

Elle and Ellen Woods reporting for duty. Nicole gives us an update on the college admissions scandal, one of the best of the year. And Tiff shares all the sus details of her recent stint with the legal system, begging the question: Is jury duty a scam? (Hint: Kinda sorta. A lot people out here suing people are scamming, that's for sure.) Plus, Kim is really trying us in the Kardashian Korner this week.
