On today’s episode, Laci is joined by Emmy Award winner Lamorne Morris and his hilarious co-host, comedian, writer, and director Kyle Shevrin from their podcast The Lamorning After. Together, they serve up laughs as they follow the trifling story of 49th place Jamaican Olympic table tennis player Michael Hyatt and how he used his ping pong passion to scam a lot of people out of a lot of money. Plus, the "Scammers of the Week" are dressed as bears, proving once and for all that only YOU can stop bear insurance fraud. Stay schemin'!
