Speaker 1: I'm Honey German. My parents are Dominican. I was born
Speaker 1: and raised in New York City. I love sneakers and
Speaker 1: I'm a body positive advicate. I'm Carolina Bermudez, but I
Speaker 1: was born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife, a mama,
Speaker 1: and a worker being. This is life Inish Carolina. Honey,
Speaker 1: I want to shut down my Instagram so bad. You
Speaker 1: don't even understand, Honey. Why just you have a great Instagram.
Speaker 1: Why are you gonna shut it down? That took work.
Speaker 1: It's just the people on Instagram, Carolina, and just it's
Speaker 1: just I don't know, it's just the scamming. But wait
Speaker 1: a minute. Can we go back? Can we go back
Speaker 1: really quick? And I'm sorry, I don't want to cut
Speaker 1: you off no good, but I want I want to
Speaker 1: take people back to a time where Honey German worked
Speaker 1: her ass off to get a social media following of
Speaker 1: like how many hundreds of thousands of followers did you
Speaker 1: have before the first one? Yeah? Two? Hunt? That was nuts?
Speaker 1: So why are you reminding me of this? Oh? No, baby,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm so sorry. I know so the way
Speaker 1: I know it hurts me too, because that really did
Speaker 1: so honey, used to have a different Instagram, right, and
Speaker 1: then it got shut down, so you've built up this
Speaker 1: new one, this one. You know what's crazy. I used
Speaker 1: to have a general Instagram where I would post celebrity news.
Speaker 1: Celebrity news was always my thing. It's how I got
Speaker 1: my foot in the door. You know, I've been doing
Speaker 1: it for like ten fifteen years now. I scaled back
Speaker 1: because everybody is a celebrity news reporter. But yeah, and
Speaker 1: my Instagram, you know, it was like two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand. It was used on you know, old radio shows, personalities.
Speaker 1: Everyone used my Instagram to prep even for their shows.
Speaker 1: And then I shared a clip of like Cardi b
Speaker 1: on like Jay Leno or something, and it blocked the
Speaker 1: Disney and they hit me with a copyright infringement. It
Speaker 1: was like I even thought about getting a job at
Speaker 1: Instagram just so I could get my page back. That's
Speaker 1: how bad I wanted my page back. This was a
Speaker 1: few a few years ago, and that's when they were
Speaker 1: hitting people, pinning people all the time about copyright infringement
Speaker 1: and stole a content, which is what Instagram is right now.
Speaker 1: Everywhere I look, I'm like, this page is full of
Speaker 1: stolen content, but they are living, They're thriving. Everything. Everything
Speaker 1: that we post on our radio station, websites and Instagram,
Speaker 1: people steal it and I see it everywhere and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I had to get my Instagram deleted. And the
Speaker 1: Instagram I have now that that was supposed to be
Speaker 1: my personal Instagram where friends and families can see my life, right,
Speaker 1: and that's the one that I By the way, I
Speaker 1: had access to both of them from the beginning. I
Speaker 1: will just say there are very few of us that did.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing to me right now is that
Speaker 1: you're saying, so Instagram shut you down, but now you're
Speaker 1: ready to shut Instagram down because you were just so
Speaker 1: sick and tired of seeing the scammers. What do you
Speaker 1: mean by that, though, Carolyn, It's like it's like a
Speaker 1: scam life, right, Like it's just like I see people
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, just perpetrating, you know, a
Speaker 1: life that is just not really what they're living. Like
Speaker 1: I know people in real life, and I'm like, you
Speaker 1: are such a scam bro. Like I just can't like
Speaker 1: from the way people look. I see a picture, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is not how you look like you are scamming
Speaker 1: on Instagram on your looks, the lifestyle. I'm like, that
Speaker 1: is not your car, like I know your car. The homes,
Speaker 1: that is not your home, I know your home. It's
Speaker 1: just like the scamming and you know, the perpetrating of
Speaker 1: this lifestyle that is not real that I can't take, Carolina.
Speaker 1: It's weird, Like I shouldn't let it bother me, right,
Speaker 1: but it does. It just it kills me. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're posting all this, but I know you're struggling in
Speaker 1: real life, and you know that's a meme. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like people forget we know them in real life,
Speaker 1: like you guys are posting all this. It even when
Speaker 1: it comes to relationships, Carolina, people like, I'm so in
Speaker 1: love this this first house together, showing the keys. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all just had a whole cheating fallout. Why.
Speaker 1: That's what I call scamming on Instagram. It's not even stealing,
Speaker 1: because that's a whole another type of scamming. You know
Speaker 1: Anadelvi and the tender Swindler that's also on Instagram too.
Speaker 1: We can get into that lay of camming. Do you
Speaker 1: know anybody on Carolyne Carolyne on Instagram that is perpetrating
Speaker 1: or scamming us with a lifestyle or even a look
Speaker 1: that you know, it's not really too many people, honey.
Speaker 1: And on my end, it is more of the family
Speaker 1: thing that you mentioned, because I know plenty of people
Speaker 1: that are posting these photos and that's part of the
Speaker 1: reason why I'm very cautious to put things up like
Speaker 1: here's the love of my life, he's my everything, and
Speaker 1: posting a picture of my husband because like, meanwhile, I
Speaker 1: just m ft him for not taking out the garbage
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. So I'm going to be authentic and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you guys know whenever he's not doing
Speaker 1: great things, I feel like there's just no validity or
Speaker 1: even a way to check people on social media. So,
Speaker 1: for example, I know a lot of young people coming
Speaker 1: up in this industry, okay, and I watched them on
Speaker 1: social and they are flexing so hard, and I think
Speaker 1: to myself, and I'm saying this humbly, I know you're
Speaker 1: not even making anywhere near like what I'm making and
Speaker 1: I'm not even and I'm thinking, like you are being
Speaker 1: so foolish, like why are you making these decisions? But
Speaker 1: then again, I think to myself, they got to live
Speaker 1: their own life. They're gonna do what they want to do.
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's an insecurity. Whenever you're flexing
Speaker 1: like that, it's it's pressure. It's a lot, a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure, Carolina. That's true. I know people, you know,
Speaker 1: mostly guys borrowing cars, you know, because they want to
Speaker 1: keep up with the other cars that guys are posting.
Speaker 1: I've been on boat rides where I see people change
Speaker 1: their clothes, Carolina, so that they can save pictures for
Speaker 1: a different occasion and continue to post about the same day,
Speaker 1: but create this narrative there. I'm always on a boat
Speaker 1: because you know what, I took a picture without my shirt,
Speaker 1: I took a picture with a different swim trunks and
Speaker 1: just hoarding it to scam and you know, to perpetrate
Speaker 1: this lifestyle that's not real and that that can't be
Speaker 1: that can't be healthy mentally for you to even have
Speaker 1: to live this way. Can I tell you that right now,
Speaker 1: that statement that you just said, where people will change
Speaker 1: their clothes, that idea has never even entered into my
Speaker 1: mind that people would even do that. That's how far
Speaker 1: away I am from even trying to be something that
Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, one thing that I do say
Speaker 1: is I've given throughout my career, my life, and I
Speaker 1: say it this way because it's very true. Warts and all.
Speaker 1: There's been good times, there's been bad times. There's been
Speaker 1: times where you know, I've been happy, I've been sad.
Speaker 1: My weight has fluctuated, it hasn't there there are so
Speaker 1: many things about life that you know, there's those roller
Speaker 1: coaster moments, the ups and downs. But I think that's
Speaker 1: the reason why I have such a great relationship with
Speaker 1: the people who follow me on social media, because they
Speaker 1: know what's really real. They know that I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be making a gourmet meal for my kids every night.
Speaker 1: I'm going to float them some taco bell because mom
Speaker 1: is tired. Okay, but what other mom isn't doing that?
Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of the people that
Speaker 1: are on social are trying to portray this different lifestyle
Speaker 1: file for themselves, but then they're the ones that have
Speaker 1: to live with the reality. And that's where I kind
Speaker 1: of just let it go, Like I don't even dive
Speaker 1: too far into it because I got my own problems
Speaker 1: and issues to think about. But where it really rubs
Speaker 1: me the wrong way is when they scam other people.
Speaker 1: That's what bothers me. It's almost like cat fishing, but
Speaker 1: like not on a relationship level, on just an everything level,
Speaker 1: and that's happening on the daily. It's like you have
Speaker 1: to even look for red flags on social media. You
Speaker 1: can get scammed by female you can get scammed, you know,
Speaker 1: by mail. It could be any type of offer. People
Speaker 1: are just out here just trying to grab money from
Speaker 1: wherever they can. I also think that there's something to
Speaker 1: be said about people trying to scam professionally. There are
Speaker 1: so many people that portray themselves as a professional of
Speaker 1: certain industries. Um For example, I know that there's somebody
Speaker 1: that is in finance that has built a really, really
Speaker 1: great social media following. And I'm not going to name names,
Speaker 1: but there has been some backstories about this person not
Speaker 1: really working at the places where they said they got
Speaker 1: their finance background from. So that's where I feel like
Speaker 1: it's the wild West out there. Anybody can be anything.
Speaker 1: It's almost like fake it till you make it, and
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna research or nobody's gonna question you, because it's
Speaker 1: just there and people take it at face value. Like
Speaker 1: let's say getting verified on Instagram. That's a huge scam.
Speaker 1: People pay all types of money to get the blue badge.
Speaker 1: I thought you couldn't do that. No, because people scam.
Speaker 1: They tell you that they're going to get you verified,
Speaker 1: you pay them, and then they just steal your money.
Speaker 1: I think it's like, I know somebody who was like
Speaker 1: desperately wanted to get his wife verified. Why, I don't
Speaker 1: know he and the wife is not even like a
Speaker 1: public figure or anything. They just wanted the blue check, right.
Speaker 1: So he goes on. He finds somebody the persons in
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic. Oh send me six hundred, Oh send me
Speaker 1: this or send me that long story short. Eighteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars later, the guy blocks them everywhere and they got
Speaker 1: scammed at eighteen hundred dollars just trying to get verified. Again.
Speaker 1: It brings me back to wanting to be lit on
Speaker 1: a Graham. But I bet you that person took that
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred bucks and got a nose job or got
Speaker 1: themselves a Brazilian butt lift, because that's what's happening. Hell
Speaker 1: yeah it was. There was in the They definitely got
Speaker 1: some light. But that person definitely got some fake apps.
Speaker 1: It was a guy they were dealing with, so he
Speaker 1: definitely got some fake apps and go on out something.
Speaker 1: I think it's more of something where you have to
Speaker 1: just be cautious of everyone, and I hate to be
Speaker 1: that way. I really am a very trusting person, and
Speaker 1: I like to think that there isn't people out there
Speaker 1: or there aren't people out there that are scamming, but
Speaker 1: they're alive and well in there everywhere. I mean, look, Carolina,
Speaker 1: you even mentioned romance scams? Are you the tender swindler?
Speaker 1: I have a lot of I have a lot of
Speaker 1: male friends right yo. These girls I'll be asking for money,
Speaker 1: rent money. You know, one of my friends showed me something.
Speaker 1: This girl said, send me one dollars to get my
Speaker 1: hair done. Cash happen to me like men have to
Speaker 1: be where And she was gorgeous. I don't know if
Speaker 1: these were her pictures, but these romance scams are at
Speaker 1: the top, top top of the list people are asking,
Speaker 1: and people in America, I'm not even talking about people
Speaker 1: in other countries. These beautiful female influencers, they will use
Speaker 1: their looks to try to scam you out of money.
Speaker 1: But guys, please, unless you meet her in person, and
Speaker 1: unless you get to smash, you shouldn't be giving no
Speaker 1: female money out here. I think I wouldn't even I
Speaker 1: don't know how to finesse like that. Even when I
Speaker 1: was single, I wouldn't nowhere to begin to ask somebody
Speaker 1: to send me some money. I feel like my pride
Speaker 1: is too. They don't have no problems, they have zero
Speaker 1: issues asking for some lute, and that to me is
Speaker 1: so concerning. Well, because I'm bringing up kids in this
Speaker 1: this life now, you know, I'm this is these are
Speaker 1: the things that I'm going to have to really warn
Speaker 1: my kids about as they get older and when they
Speaker 1: get social media problem. I just hope all other ship
Speaker 1: dies down. Honestly by the time they're like sixteen, seventeen, eighteen.
Speaker 1: I feel like just the metaverse is this is just
Speaker 1: the beginning, I know. And that's the problem is that
Speaker 1: people will always find a way. Even if you go
Speaker 1: back to the Bible. There were swindlers back in the Bible,
Speaker 1: and they're swindlers today. And that's why you touched on
Speaker 1: it before the Tinder Swindler when people saw this on Netflix,
Speaker 1: and if you didn't check it out, it's about a
Speaker 1: guy who completely scammed a number of women into believing
Speaker 1: that he was like some air to this fortune and
Speaker 1: but he was needing money all the time, and that's
Speaker 1: that would have been the first red flag for me.
Speaker 1: But there are people who actually believe. And he was
Speaker 1: another one, honey, like what you're talking about these private
Speaker 1: jets and things. They weren't even his, but he was
Speaker 1: playing it off like they were because maybe having this
Speaker 1: lifestyle on Instagram where you don't even think this person
Speaker 1: needs a penny, So then you're like, oh, well, you're
Speaker 1: always on boat, you always had these great cars. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: oh well let me hold three dollars or whatever, And
Speaker 1: people said it. That's not the only one, though. There
Speaker 1: was recently another woman in the news that everybody's been
Speaker 1: talking about this, Anna Delvi, who managed to that one
Speaker 1: break into high society in New York City, which is
Speaker 1: truthfully one of the hardest places to break. I will
Speaker 1: tell you, we have a dear friend who's I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want to give too much detail, but I
Speaker 1: know somebody whose husband is high, high, high up. Okay,
Speaker 1: they run in a different type of circle. Wonderful people,
Speaker 1: humble people, very honest and genuine, but when I tell
Speaker 1: you I've gone to events with them before, and people
Speaker 1: look at you like cross eyed when you show up
Speaker 1: because you are not wearing You're wearing off the rack.
Speaker 1: You're not wearing oh couture. That's the all that these
Speaker 1: people like this Anna Adelphia is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: The level. I'm proud of her, Carolina, what she did.
Speaker 1: Stop it right now. Listen. She did it to the
Speaker 1: big banks. She didn't do it to the regular working person,
Speaker 1: and she didn't do it all the way well the bank,
Speaker 1: I guess the hotel's kind of sort of. But I'm
Speaker 1: proud of her what she managed to pull on the
Speaker 1: elite in New York City, this secret society, The way
Speaker 1: she managed to infiltrate, Like the girl has got some
Speaker 1: brains up there. If she would have used it in
Speaker 1: a different way, there wasn't a criminal fashion. She could
Speaker 1: go far as hell in life. Think about it. Totally genius.
Speaker 1: But I'm showing up in wearing Zara to these events
Speaker 1: and these ladies are wearing Chanel Runway craziness, and they
Speaker 1: look at you like a certain type of way, like
Speaker 1: you're the help, like girl, who is this? Can you
Speaker 1: get me a drink? But yes, yeah, exactly. But I
Speaker 1: think that she was a different type of I don't know.
Speaker 1: There has to be so thing mentally that you can
Speaker 1: pull this off, because there's no way that I could
Speaker 1: lie to people like that. I think I would get
Speaker 1: caught in the line. How do you keep her story straight? Now?
Speaker 1: Then people got different, so they think differently. Their mind
Speaker 1: is a little bit twisted and totally different. You know
Speaker 1: what's another scam, Carlina, is happening a lot now. The
Speaker 1: crypto scam, people telling you to invest like in bitcoins
Speaker 1: and like crypto currencies and just stealing your money. I
Speaker 1: read this story about this girl. She invested all this
Speaker 1: money into like a new cryptocurrency. It was totally fake.
Speaker 1: She even like wiped out like her parents retirement accounts
Speaker 1: or whatever. They're the fraudsters are everywhere. They're doing everything,
Speaker 1: romance scams, bitcoin, credit card fraud. Don't get me started
Speaker 1: out of the credit card fraud, Carol Realina. These people
Speaker 1: out here stealing your whole identity. It's bad. I don't
Speaker 1: ever want to be a victim of that. The bitcoin stuff,
Speaker 1: you could totally get me if I'm too being chip.
Speaker 1: My mom says, no, I do not let my money go.
Speaker 1: I really don't, and so that's the reason why I
Speaker 1: won't let anybody get me if it's not a established
Speaker 1: I have one credit card I use I and I
Speaker 1: pay it off every single month. I do not mess
Speaker 1: around with my finances. I work too hard for my money.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid to lose it. Like for example, bitcoin, cryptocurrency,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, it sounds like a different language
Speaker 1: to me. I fully don't understand it. I should educate
Speaker 1: myself on it, because I don't like to be uneducated
Speaker 1: or ignorant about things. But I won't go investing my
Speaker 1: money in something that I'm not fully aware of. You know.
Speaker 1: It's those fake promises, like people get so gas, like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be rich, I'm gonna get in early. You know,
Speaker 1: the same thing that happened with bitcoin is gonna happen
Speaker 1: with this new cryptocur I feel like people get get
Speaker 1: super hyped and like gas, and then they get robbed.
Speaker 1: You know. Another way that people are getting robbed Carolina
Speaker 1: buying followers, buying followers and likes. People go to these
Speaker 1: websites right to buy the gate likes for their Instagram again,
Speaker 1: trying to look a certain way on Instagram, and you
Speaker 1: know what happening. All your financial data is being is
Speaker 1: being so stolen, like you enter your credit card to
Speaker 1: pay twenty dollars. Let's say, followers, guess where your credit
Speaker 1: card information was stolen? And here you're gonna It's just
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of things happening. It's weird. Also,
Speaker 1: like you gotta keep those eyes open, eyes open. And
Speaker 1: you know another scam like fake job offers. You know,
Speaker 1: they offer you jobs, right, and then they start getting
Speaker 1: all this data from you, talking about they're gonna hire you,
Speaker 1: and then you give them like your driver's license, you
Speaker 1: give them your home address. You know, do you do
Speaker 1: like a whole fake hiring process and these fake jobs
Speaker 1: still your entire identity. I heard about this. There was
Speaker 1: a young lady and there was an article I think
Speaker 1: I read it just like a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: where she went to one of these job sites and
Speaker 1: she entered all of her personal information and then they
Speaker 1: told her that they were going to call her in
Speaker 1: for a meeting, but they needed all of her information
Speaker 1: to process her before so she wouldn't be waiting. And
Speaker 1: that's a exactly what they did. Now when it comes
Speaker 1: to stolen identity. My identity has been stolen many times.
Speaker 1: Apparently my social Security number was in the circuit and
Speaker 1: my identity was stolen even back in two thousand three,
Speaker 1: a long long time ago. So that's something that is
Speaker 1: so hard to recover from. I have to have a
Speaker 1: pin number for the I R S to do my
Speaker 1: taxes because people were taking out I mean, it is
Speaker 1: a actual nightmare. One thing that did come to mind, though, Honey,
Speaker 1: when you're bringing all of this up, is research. I
Speaker 1: feel like people are too lazy. They don't they want
Speaker 1: to believe that that easy you know, cryptocurrency is gonna
Speaker 1: put them on the road to success or they're going
Speaker 1: to be living the high life. If they just give
Speaker 1: fifty thou dollars or whatever, ten thou ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a lot of money to me. If they just give
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, there's a lot of money to me.
Speaker 1: Even if you do that, and then you bring your
Speaker 1: family into this and blow like the whole family babies,
Speaker 1: you know, just with the hopes of getting rich. I
Speaker 1: guess cyber criminals they're trained. These people are out here,
Speaker 1: they are scamming, they are you know, what's crazy down
Speaker 1: in Miami. They have television ads for scams. They tell
Speaker 1: you like, oh, have you been a victim of a scam?
Speaker 1: Did you receive an email like this? This is how
Speaker 1: bad it is getting that they are now putting television
Speaker 1: ads alerting people about scams that are happening. One that
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about that has just recently been on
Speaker 1: the news. A lot people are hearing about it, and
Speaker 1: f T s n f t s are really taking over.
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about, Oh, you've gotta have an n f T.
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber bought like a monkey eating a banana n
Speaker 1: f T and spent like millions of dollars on that.
Speaker 1: And I just can't picture myself investing in something that
Speaker 1: isn't tangible. But then again, I have a lot of
Speaker 1: people are saying, well, that's the wave, that's the future,
Speaker 1: So you're not going to get in on the wave.
Speaker 1: I'm just more afraid of putting my money in an
Speaker 1: investment that I won't see a return on, and that
Speaker 1: that's the scary thing for me. Yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 1: crazy with n f T s. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: everything is dying down. I remember um last year for
Speaker 1: our Bossle down in Miami. They had a lot of
Speaker 1: like events, and it's crazy, Carolina. You couldn't even R
Speaker 1: s v P to these events if you didn't have
Speaker 1: a crypto wallet, like they wanted to make sure you
Speaker 1: were not going to their event, if you were not
Speaker 1: even ready to purchase, because you know, you can't really
Speaker 1: you can purchase n f T s with a credit card,
Speaker 1: but they want you to have a crypto wallet. But
Speaker 1: n f T s, I feel like it's not for
Speaker 1: the average person. I'll tell you that much. Buying one
Speaker 1: of those eight n f T s for dollars that's
Speaker 1: for like rappers, a little baby and them. Let them
Speaker 1: have that. I'm not invest in my money that I
Speaker 1: have some weird n f T s. Let's say like
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club they did an n f T drop.
Speaker 1: I bought all of those n f t s, but
Speaker 1: they were like nine dollars. Okay, So then what in
Speaker 1: the future could you do with those? Like do you
Speaker 1: have the right to post those on social media? Deal?
Speaker 1: Like do you own those or do other people own them?
Speaker 1: That's my confusion. It's like I don't want something that
Speaker 1: everybody else has, they're yours. There no They're like, well
Speaker 1: you could. Anybody gets screen shot and then and now
Speaker 1: they have it in their phone. But to be able
Speaker 1: to like sell it, you're the only one that owns
Speaker 1: that particular n f T. Now the odds that of
Speaker 1: n f T that you purchase ends up costing millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. That's where that's where the problem lies. You're
Speaker 1: the only one that could sell it. You own it,
Speaker 1: and that's pretty much it. Like your own n f
Speaker 1: T is in your phone, is in your wallet. You
Speaker 1: could look at it, you could say you own it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I felt like it just became like
Speaker 1: a hype a wave. Everything was about n f T,
Speaker 1: and you don't tech people and like, you know, people
Speaker 1: that are really into digital world. I mean, they're the
Speaker 1: ones that got super hype about it. But you can
Speaker 1: buy an n f T today and it could cost
Speaker 1: the same thing tomorrow, or it could drop in value
Speaker 1: and you lost all your money. That's the scary part
Speaker 1: of it. And I'd rather give my money to a bank.
Speaker 1: See a bank. See is tangible right, It's there and
Speaker 1: you have it right in your house exactly now, by
Speaker 1: the way, I can't eat in afford to look at
Speaker 1: a bank. See, um, I buy my art at home goods.
Speaker 1: Same here. I am actually in the clearance part of
Speaker 1: home goods, because then that's when you really get stop.
Speaker 1: I have some flies shipped from home. Yes. My my
Speaker 1: friend came over. He said, oh my god, this are
Speaker 1: I love it. It's like inside of a plexiglass. And
Speaker 1: he said, oh wow, who's the artist? I said, I
Speaker 1: got to say, it's a print. What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: It's a reprint. It's like canvas. It actually looks like canvas.
Speaker 1: That's why he was so thrown off. But yet, scams
Speaker 1: are everywhere, Carley, and I'm talking about scams are everywhere,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the worst scam is people scam,
Speaker 1: Like when you get scamped, Like you know, I know
Speaker 1: people that will date somebody like, Okay, this person has money.
Speaker 1: H They're not really my type. I'm gonna still date them,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna scam them out of everything I can.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make them take me to This is real
Speaker 1: life scamming, and it's done, and it's done. And I'm
Speaker 1: only gonna make him take me to all the best restaurants.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure and then they can scamming comes in.
Speaker 1: Then the Instagram scamming comes in. So you're live in
Speaker 1: the fresh scamming someone to take you to top NASA restaurants.
Speaker 1: Then you're posting it on Instagram like that's a life
Speaker 1: that you're financing. Why did I have to see it
Speaker 1: on World Star that. Now the new scam is girls
Speaker 1: that are dating guys and then they expect the guy
Speaker 1: to take all their girlfriends out and pay for the bill,
Speaker 1: and they're showing up for the dates. This is a
Speaker 1: This is a new thing to me. I saw that video.
Speaker 1: See I don't know not girl, this has been a thing.
Speaker 1: Okay with scamming, Well, it depends. Let's say, like if
Speaker 1: I dated a drug dealer right before I was married,
Speaker 1: which I did several times, I'd be like, girls, get
Speaker 1: it together. This motherfucker's taking us out to eat, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I would expect him to or he's gonna pop bottles.
Speaker 1: This guy's gonna get a section. Yeah, if I came
Speaker 1: with my girlfriends, I would fully expect you to pay
Speaker 1: for them too. That was me way back when I
Speaker 1: saw the video you're talking about. This girl was outside
Speaker 1: of a restaurant going off because she expected the guy
Speaker 1: to pay for eight of her friends. But you know,
Speaker 1: as men, you should be like, nah, I'm inviting you
Speaker 1: and you alone, don't bring all these girlfriends. If you
Speaker 1: let the girls all come, I guess then there is
Speaker 1: an expectation that you're gonna pay as the mail. Again,
Speaker 1: that's scamming. You're scamming not just for you, You're scamming
Speaker 1: for your home girls too, Like people scam boats, like bitch,
Speaker 1: I got a guy with a boat. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: on his boat. Get it, get ready, and then you
Speaker 1: show up and he has this romantic interest in you.
Speaker 1: But you're using that to your advantage so that your
Speaker 1: girlfriends can also live a lifestyle that they can't afford
Speaker 1: on the dime of this guy who has hopes of
Speaker 1: sleeping with you. I'm running in the wrong circles, man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm car pooling to to freaking karate. I'm not
Speaker 1: on any boats. I'm I'm Kellena. We're retired, we are
