Laci entertains cousin Danny with tales of Lululemon looters, the TikTok Target thief, and a private island owner who stole from K-Mart. Danny shares his altar boy church scam, while Laci and the crew lose their minds trying to name a buttercrunch toffee chocolate commonly found at Ross stores. Plus, Danny discloses his passion for healthy floor grass and finding balance in daily life. Stay schemin’!
