Summary

Kathleen is reminding us all that just because we have different opinions doesn’t mean we can’t still be parasocial friends! Kathleen and Bethany go through some of their unpopular opinions and then brace for feedback. Then, just because con artists do bad things doesn’t mean we can’t learn some lessons from them. Bethany runs down her list of some crazy inventive con artists and lessons we can cull from their bold choices! (Listen until the end for Bethany’s favorite con artist of all time. It’s insane people believed he was their CHILD!) Plus, what’s Kathleen’s new scheme on how to get verified?
