Summary

Nobody was tripping in 2010, and maybe that was because all the cool people in the zeitgeist were wearing bracelets that claimed to harness the power of holograms to make you stronger, faster, more flexible, and possibly sexier, too. Jon Gabrus (ActionBoyz, Game Over, Man!) joins Laci to test their knowledge of physical balancing and placebos in the body. Plus, we break down the superstitions in sports, including Wade Boggs, Michael Jordan, and Jason Giambi. Stay schemin’! Keep the scams coming and snitch on your shady friends by emailing us at [email protected]. CON-gregation, catch Laci's TV Show Scam Goddess, now on Freeform and Hulu!
