What’s poppin’ con-gregation? This week, Oscar Montoya joins the show to discuss David Hampton, who became infamous for claiming to be the son of Sidney Poitier, conning his way into the upper echelon of New York City society in the 1980’s. It’s giving Six Degrees of Separation. Plus, Milo Yiannopoulos has been accused of using a Congresswoman’s campaign credit card to purchase a website domain for Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign. Stay Schemin’!
