Bad dates.

Speed dates.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another edition of Bad Dates Speed Dating Edition.

This is, of course, the Bad Dates podcast.

If you're just tuning in for the very first time, normally we have a panel of guests who come in and talk about bad dating stories.

But on the Speed Date edition, we slow things down a little bit, which I know seems sort of anathema to what the title says, but we get one on one with one of my very special friends, and we talk about whatever the fuck we want to talk about. And today, joining me is a writer-comedian and actress from shows like I Carly, Florida girls, and a black lady sketch show.

She is the host of the podcast, The Book, and the series Scam Goddess, which has won her two Webby Awards.

And you can see her live on tour this spring with the show.

It's Lacey Mosley, everybody.

Hello, Lacey.

Welcome to the Sirius XM studio where normally you record, but today you're in my house. I'm in your house now. Does it feel weird? Yes, it does. I started reaching around for paperwork and shit and then like the walls are blue and it normally red for me. No, but I like what you do with the place. They change the colors of the walls? Yes. These are your walls. They're blue for you. I feel so special. You are so special. In fact, yeah, I have a whole new appreciation for the team here at Sirius XM. Before, I couldn't care if they lived or died. But now I understand the work that they're putting in. Before I would hit them with a Mac truck. Yeah. But now. Now, now, not so much.

Before we dive in, I have some, I do have some love and dating and stuff, questions that I do want to get to. But I want to talk to you very quickly about your own show and the premise of your own show, which is, of course, very simply, scams. Scams of all kind, big scams, small scams, everything in between. But let's talk a little bit about dating scams.

You've covered dating scams on your show before.

Give us a run now.

What are some of the most notable dating scams that you've covered on your show?

One, I find, like, dating scams to be pretty distasteful.

They're kind of, like like really hard for me because

they're so interpersonal. And it's like this person just wants love or a relationship and like I find

the violation of that to just be incredibly disgusting. Like if you need some coin, I understand you

mean the coin. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. But to manipulate someone's life like that, and I mean, like, to think of names specifically, it's so funny because the dating scammers are always the ones that I can't even remember because I remember the scam, but the name and the face of the person, I'm just so detested. But obviously there's like the love fraud that happened with the Tender Swindler. Of course the number one that everyone thinks of.

Yeah.

Yeah.
