Today, I 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.280 was actually thinking about one of my favorite scams of 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.640 all time because Jlo is hosting or is performing. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.240 At the super Bowl halftime. She is, which is a 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.920 scam in itself, and her whole career is one long scam. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.320 Oh the longest con Jaylo can't sing? And did you 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.160 know that Jlo does know that she can can't sing? Well, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.480 that's the thing that is. She did an interview and 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.240 then she was like, I never knew that people didn't 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.880 think I could sing. I thought I could sing. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.280 Like she thought that she was on she thinks she's 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.320 on multiple tracks, but it's not her, like it will 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.360 literally be a shanty or Christina Milian or like another 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:14.480 girl who sounds like her. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.080 Like it's other people and the royalties. Yes, I love it. 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:27.320 That's a scam, not a shanty. No, it's I'm rewriting history. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.680 So so she thinks she's on these tracks, I'm confused. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.800 I think she like or she thinks that she's still 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.160 good even though like she's. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:39.159 Not singing for most of these songs. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.440 Like and I was reading up because I was just 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.640 I just I was fascinated.

It's 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.039 the kind of stuff that I aspire to. Yeah, it's 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:14.480 it's wild, but still making money. That's what I want.

So this is where we just like 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.040 warn our listeners what's hot in fraud. Sometimes we get 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.279 like a fun listener letter and we just say that 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.680 and and today it's a fun listen to a letter 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.760 from Scamala Anderson. Oh wow, good for her. Yeah, she 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.160 coined that name herself and wrote it in the commons. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.600 It's great, Hey Scamala, Scamdala Bassett. Oh, Scamdala Bassi's good. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.280 Don't want to light somebody's carl fire with a cigarette on. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.760 Oh so it's the least you deserve it. Yes, so, 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.240 Scamla says, girl, I love the show. Okay, thank you, Scambala. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.920 I'm gonna skip the other compliments, but thank you, she says. So. Anyway, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.160 my retired scam consisted of buying an item, usually big ticket, 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.640 at a big box store. Then I go back into 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.760 the store the next day with the receipt, get the 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.000 same item off the shelf, and then go get your 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.560 money back. Technology killed the scam. She said, whoa, yeah, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.840 the serial numbers. Yeah, because before cereal numbers, you probably 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.440 could just roll up in that bitch and be like, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.680 yeah about this same washer and dryer yesterday, roll it 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.680 to the front, give them the receipt, they pay you 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:57.720 for your drive. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.320 Wait also, wait, hold on when was this happening? She 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.600 doesn't put a year, but it had to have been 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:04.080 a while. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:04.400 Yeah. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.280 I'm like where are you? And that's kind of also 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.800 I'm like where are you? Because I feel like some places, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.840 like if they're more like small town or yeah. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.800 Rule, they'd be like, oh, scam, all, good to see you. Dang, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.520 your washer's really messing up. You gotta check a pistol. 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.640 Don't worry about it. Yeah, just roll it in. So 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.440 it reminds me of Good Girls where they go to 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.880 the big box. Have you seen I Love Good Girls? 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.120 Scammers It's coming back in February. Watch it. Okay, it's 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.960 so good. It's basically Mad Money, the plot of the 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.600 movie Mad Money. But then like they make it a 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.679 TV show that's good. Yeah with the white woman from 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.240 Mad Men. Who a camera, her name, thank you, I 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.559 love her, Retta and May Whitman. You know all their names? 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.360 Yeah I don't actually, so this is as I said 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.680 the show. There was a blank look in your eyes 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.240 and you listed all the. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.000 My scam, my personal scam is that I got a 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.080 BFA and playwriting, and I learned that in order to 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.600 succeed this into street, you don't actually have to have 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.960 seen things. You just have to know who is in 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.640 it and what it's generally about. Oh, spend enough time 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.920 on IMDb and you can wheedle your ways. 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.439 One episode of everything. That's also that's all. That also works. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:16.280 Then you get tone. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:22.000 People love talking about tone. Yeah, tone makes me horny. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.400 So the next scam the SCAMLA sent us two SAMs. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.840 The other scam is she said another one I just 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.920 thought up, which I love that she's writing as if 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.760 she's talking, and she says, I worked at a convenience 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.520 store and fountain drinks were keyed in manually. I would 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.600 key it in and pocket the money and I was 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.360 taken home around one hundred and fifty dollars a day. Jesus. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:46.640 But the store got robbed and I was out scammel 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.320 it was robbing the store every day.

Just probably loves it. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.720 So this is important though, because I wanted another black 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.920 woman on the show to discuss this scammer because it's 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:26.120 a delicate topic. Yes, it's the Welfare Queen, and boy, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.760 oh boy, did that name do a number on our community. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.520 Just want to remind you guys that the majority of 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.000 people on welfare are white. It is a fact there 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.760 a lot of them are in California, but they are 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.840 the black and the Welfare Queen. Really when we talk 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.720 about a hit for the culture, like really like DC 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.920 sniper level hit where like we were like, black people 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.840 don't kill people at random, we kill people with a 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.320 small amounts of money, like, and then the DC sniper 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.800 came out and was just literally shooting everybody. And then 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.080 we had to spin it and we was like, well, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.240 he was also spent a time with his sons, so 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.280 he was a good dad. It's a good that's which 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.680 is all so brutal to have to be Like I 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.560 guess the spin is fatherhood. I don't know. Yeah, he 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.520 was hanging out with his son. He took his son 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.120 to lost of murders. Like, how do we fix this? 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.160 So the Welfare clean did a number on the black community, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:22.200 But I love her. Today we celebrate the Welfare c Day, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:27.640 We celebrate the welfare class history months. Oh no, oh no, 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.600 we call her Linda from the for the for here 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.400 on out. But Linda Taylor was born in nineteen twenty six. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:42.560 The arms the twenties were like real and also like 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.000 this is a bad time for black people. So I 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.840 can't believe I even tried to call her the welfare Clay. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.000 She's just out here trying to live her life. I'm 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.320 not mad, she's just trying to get to neutral. What 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.160 am I saying? Every day's a bad day for black 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.040 people in this country. It's not gotten that much better, 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.040 all right, Well a little bit, but not a lot. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.680 So we have lake phones and showers. Yeah, we have 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.760 phones and showers. But that stuff that everybody had specifically rights, 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.400 Why yeah, that's what That's what I had to offer, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.960 phones and towers. So her name was Martha Louise White, 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.280 and gold Dust, Tennessee is where she was born. And 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.560 she was born to a white woman named Lydia Moone White, 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.440 a little white person named white. What is this? Tone? 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.040 Is this for black stream? And she was born what 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.880 and white? So this is her mother? So she Mark 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.680 Louis White is the welfare Queen. Linda Taylor's original name, 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.080 and then her father was a Negro and she had 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:45.680 been conceived in Alabama, where at the time sexual relationships 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:51.760 between white folks and black folks legal and punishable by prison. Honey. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.560 The family frequently lied about the race. I want like 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.600 tiny little piano piano too. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.320 We would have to edit in a that's definitely the music, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.440 as telling the truth could have made her mother guilty. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:12.400 Matha grew up in the child interns sharecrop who made 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.600 little money, and we're gonna have to fuggle the levels 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.280 on this. People are gonna hate this. I have to stop. 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.160 They will hate that and we will have to fuggle 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:24.119 the levels. So the family frequently lied about her race 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.000 and telling her that she was, you know, a white person, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.440 which is a common thing, especially in Louisiana. Like, there's 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.480 lots of creole people who passed for Where are you from, Louisiana, Dallas, Dallas, Okay, Okay, 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.760 but I have family in the Muisuma. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.399 Yeah, Boston, Boston.

And then and 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.359 then there's like Hislanics have to be black. There's Cape 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:49.240 Verdian people. 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.159 There's not that many Hispaniic and Latino people in like 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.200 it's like certain neighborhoods, it's like very racial, like racially segregated. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.320 Yeah, that's why how Pittsburgh is a little neighborhood its 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.359 own race. And yeah, there's not a lot of mixing. 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.639 There's it's yeah, it's like there's definitely a separation, but 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.600 there's not. There's not a lot of passing, even though 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.080 I did meet one. There's one girl I met who 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.000 who is a black girl. She's half black, and she's 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.199 the only black person I've ever met with the Boston accent. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.880 Oh raised, that sounds horrible white family. It wasn't horrible. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.080 It was just deeply fascinating. And I think about her 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:23.880 a lot a lot. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.520 It's I always feel for black people who get raised 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.120 by the white part of the family. Oh, I do, 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.679 because either they ignore your race and like she's just 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.560 like ash, she's just damn or they like indoctrinate racism 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:36.240 into your soul. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.959 Oh No, I feel like there's gotta be a middle ground. 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.280 Can you not always guess when someone is half black 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.760 and they have a black mom. I can. Yeah, well, 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:46.639 I come. Well. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.720 Honestly, there's a certain nage where it's like, oh, there's 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.879 like hair, You're like you, like you. I feel like 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.200 it's either like they're working through hair and like getting 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.400 to a good place, or their hair is like immaculate 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.200 because it was like so rough during childhood and now 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:03.600 they're like no, no, no, I know how to do 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:04.520 this perfectly. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.040 There will be no mistakes. I am free the shackles. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.840 Take the shackles off my feet, take off my hair, 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.480 or as we say here, take the shackles off my feet. 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:19.440 So I scam, Wow, that's good, feel good. I didn't 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.920 come up with that. Someone else did. Don't know who. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.119 That's Twitter for you, but I won't steal it. I'm 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.119 not Lizzo. I will say I got it off Twitter. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.920 So Martha grew up the child of innerant sharecroppers who 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.280 made a little bit of money honey and were devastated 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.960 by droughts of floods all the time. It was always 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.840 droughting or flooding, which is some bullshit. It was either 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.560 dry or it was real wet. This is like biblical. 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.160 It was too wet or too dry, so on top 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.480 of the financial deprivation, she was often made to feel 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.119 like an outsider in her own family and community because 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.400 of rays mixed race. She was expelled from an all 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.200 white school at the age of six and didn't make 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.200 it past the second grade. So must have been in 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.479 that all white schools. Some Negro came out and they 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.920 were like, wait a minute, wait a minute, is this 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.840 tan white woman black? She just should have said she 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.840 was Italian. She really should have. But at that time, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.399 I think Italians was still getting it rough. White people 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.840 had united as one white front. That's true. In America, 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.639 that's true. They still was talking about Irish people like 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.560 you know what I mean, all splitting up. Now they're like, 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.679 make America great again. We're all the same robot human 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.280 you know. They got together like the Power Rangers and 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:35.720
