EP. 44 — The Flexing Fraudster with Trixie Mattel

What’s up, con-gregation? This week Trixie Mattel scammed her way onto the podcast to discuss a man scammin’ on the gram. We’re all for a flex but it’s harder to flex from prison. Plus, Laci and Trixie talk about the hero using government contracts to scam the government. Stay schemin, but maybe don’t post about it!
