Today, Caitlin and Sue sit down with author and comedian Dave Hill to discuss his new book, The Vapors. Did you know that Arkansas used to be like THE place to go for rest, relaxation, and gambling? Neither did we. Plus, Dave tells Sue and Caitlin ancient family lore about how his hustling granddad killed a guy and got away with it, and how his dad was friends with Bill Clinton, who is the Patron Saint of Hustlers. Let’s talk about that Epstein connection!

Wow, what a week for drama. Mackenzie Thomas joins us to break down everything that’s happening in the YouTube beauty community with Shane Dawson, Jeffree Star, Tati Westbrook (aka “That Old Bag”), and James Charles.

Let’s face it: the cops are scammers. From PBA cards to signal jammers, and even conspiracy theories about missing protestors, these uneducated and barely-trained oafs will do anything to keep people in check. TEAR GAS IS FORBIDDEN BY THE GENEVA CONVENTION, PEOPLE! Anyway, this is a nice episode about cop scams and how Producer Cait’s mom once sued her local police. Enjoy and we love you.

Our country is in a time of crisis. We struggled whether it would be insensitive to put out an episode this week. Ultimately, we decided that, because we’re comedians, our purpose is to make you laugh and take your mind off of things. That’s why we’re talking about Bethenny Frankel, Myka Stauffer, Kylie Jenner, and Smile Direct Club. We know that covering a bunch of white women doesn’t make anything better, but hopefully it brings a smile directly to your face, for at least a little bit. Stay safe and take care. Love, ScamWow.

Books? More like scams. Today, we take a deep dive into late ‘90s literary scammer, JT LeRoy. What a trip, people!

Hello Scamsters! This week we get up close and personal with some skin scams. Remember Proactive? Justin Bieber and Sue’s students swore by it. Our special guest is author and comedian Ellen Haun, who teaches us about the scams behind the serums. We cover the entire Rodan and Fields enterprise, from the billionaires to the tiniest people in the pyramid. And would your boss ask you to defend their company on social media? Should Sue’s mom ride that Diamond Princess, and why do so many senior citizens love the Brodnicks? Don’t get your lashes in a tangle, we answer all these and more.

Friend of the show and Upright Citizens Brigade comedian, Lydia Hensler, joins us to talk about a truly bonkers historic scammer named Ann O’Delia Diss Debar. Well, that was one of Ann’s names.

We also discuss aura readings, making love to cabbage, cults, and the first female candidate for president, Victoria Claflin Woodhull. (It wasn’t Hilary Clinton? We’ve been scammed!)
