Summary

Yep, a big day for con artists. Between the recent downfall of George Santos and Billy McFarland being back in the news cycle, we had no shortage of discussions surrounding lies, fraud, and general (extreme 1920s gangster voice) racketeering. We also discuss a recent tweet from M&Ms, our Weekends in Fun, and an app that allows you to talk to Hitler from the dead.
