Introduction

In this episode of Fraud Friday, hosted by Laci Mosley (aka Scam Goddess) and featuring her longtime friend and co-host, Priscilla Davies, the duo delves into both contemporary scams and historical frauds, blending their sharp comedic wit with insightful analysis of deceptive practices. This episode, titled The Counterfeit Composer, focuses on a notorious fraud case involving a Japanese composer and explores recent scamming tactics targeting everyday individuals.

Segment 1: The Israeli Locksmith Scam

[06:09] Priscilla Davies:
Priscilla recounts her personal experience with the Israeli locksmith scam, a deceptive practice where fraudulent locksmiths charge exorbitant fees for minimal services.

Key Points:

• Scam Details: Priscilla and her friends were locked out of her apartment early one morning and contacted a locksmith who arrived in an unmarked vehicle.
• Overcharging Techniques: The scammer significantly overcharged for each lock, prompting Priscilla to question the legitimacy of the service.
• Resolution: Upon realizing the deceit, Priscilla negotiated a reduced fee and ultimately paid a fraction of the original charge, exposing the scam.

Notable Quote:
Laci Mosley [06:47]: "They charge you for each lock. Part of the scam."

Priscilla emphasizes the importance of recognizing red flags, such as unmarked vehicles and suspiciously high fees, to avoid falling victim to such scams.

Segment 2: Zelda’s Reiki Scam in Kroger’s

[15:26] Priscilla Davies:
Priscilla introduces a listener-submitted scam story involving a woman named Zelda attempting to scam shoppers in a Kroger’s grocery store.

Key Points:

• Scam Approach: Zelda approaches shoppers with a charming demeanor, offering Reiki energy readings for a hefty fee of $500.
• Public Setting: Conducting the scam in a busy grocery store makes the deception both audacious and easily noticeable.
• Negotiation Tactics: When challenged, Zelda drastically reduced her fee from $500 to $50, revealing her desperation and the flawed nature of her scam.
• Host Commentary: Both hosts critique the implausibility of conducting such services in a public place and the overpricing involved.

Notable Quote:
Priscilla Davies [35:25]: "She didn't even have a basket. She was just walking around the store being fine and targeting people. It's a good scam, but it's also a dumb ass scam."

Laci and Priscilla highlight the unrealistic aspects of Zelda’s approach, underscoring how public settings and inflated prices diminish the likelihood of success for such scams.

Segment 3: Historic Hoodwinks – The Counterfeit Composer

[37:07] Priscilla Davies:
The hosts shift focus to a historical con involving Marimoro Samuraguchi, a revered Japanese composer whose career unraveled amidst allegations of fraud.

Key Points:

• Background: Samuraguchi was celebrated as Japan's Beethoven, lauded for his musical genius despite becoming deaf later in life.
• Unveiling the Fraud: It was revealed that Samuraguchi had fabricated much of his musical prowess and lied about his hearing impairment.
• Impact: His deceit came to light when a ghostwriter, Tekashi Nagaki, exposed that he had authored Samuraguchi's compositions, leading to public outrage and the cancellation of Samuraguchi’s concerts.
• Aftermath: Music companies vowed to halt the distribution of his work, and the scandal tarnished his legacy.

Notable Quote:
Laci Mosley [37:43]: "He was turned into the face of strength and resilience for the Japanese people. I hate how that's written."

The hosts critically examine how Samuraguchi's fabricated story exploited national sentiments, ultimately serving as a cautionary tale about the lengths individuals may go to deceive and the profound consequences that follow.

Segment 4: Donda Academy – Kanye West’s Controversial School

[56:33] Priscilla Davies:
Laci and Priscilla delve into the controversial establishment of the Donda Academy, a private Christian school founded by Kanye West, examining its operations and the surrounding controversies.

Key Points:

• Founding Vision: Kanye West aimed to create a gospel-focused institution offering practical tools for students in a technologically driven world.
• Operational Red Flags:
  • Unaccredited Institution: The school lacks accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, raising questions about its legitimacy.
  • Extremely Low Enrollment: Initially enrolling only 21 students, expanding to 100, which is unusually low for a private school.
  • Dubious Practices: Reports indicate a shift from academic curriculum to a focus on basketball, employing highly touted athletes without proper educational frameworks.
• Parent Concerns: Parents were required to sign NDAs, limiting transparency and indicating potential underlying issues within the school's operations.
• Shutdown and Reopening: Following Kanye’s anti-Semitic remarks, the school abruptly closed for the remainder of the school year. Subsequent emails caused confusion about its operational status, suggesting instability and mismanagement.
• Perception as a Cult: The school's appearance and practices, such as mandatory uniforms from high-end brands and unorthodox curricular activities like parkour, have led to speculation about cult-like behavior.

Notable Quote:
Priscilla Davies [63:40]: "This is a child cult. And I'm not okay with adult cults, but not child cults."

The discussion underscores the alarming aspects of Donda Academy’s operations, highlighting issues of accreditation, parental consent, and the welfare of the students, painting a picture of a potentially exploitative and unregulated educational environment.

Conclusion

In this engaging episode, Scam Goddess effectively combines humor with critical analysis to expose and discuss various scams and fraudulent activities, both modern and historical. Laci Mosley and Priscilla Davies provide listeners with valuable insights into recognizing and understanding deceptive practices, all while maintaining their trademark comedic banter.

Final Notable Quote:
Laci Mosley [82:56]: "Stay scheming."

Listeners are encouraged to remain vigilant against fraud and deception in all its forms, embodying the Scam Goddess’s motto to “stay scheming” wisely and cautiously.

Wait, do you?

[Priscilla Davies]

[Lacey Mosley]

Who is the guest who's been on the show the most out of any guest? And she sat down this series just a few moments ago and said, so how does this go again?

[Priscilla Davies]

Listen, congregation, I got a lot on my mind, okay? I'm a black woman in America just trying to make it day by day, okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

How you gonna do me like that? Not the Black Woman in America card. Wow.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, I pulled it.

[Lacey Mosley]

Now I can't say nothing.

[Priscilla Davies]

Listen, I'm doing the best with what.

[Lacey Mosley]

I got, best I can with what I got. And you drop the beat.

[Priscilla Davies]

Doo, doo, doo, doo doo doo doo.

[Lacey Mosley]

If you haven't seen that video of Mariah Carey saying, I'm doing the best I can with what I got, you need to, because it lives rent free in my head. Dwayne Perkinson's head as well. And honestly, it's the best affirmation I've ever seen, period. Mariah Carey owns Christmas and Affirmations.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yes.

[Lacey Mosley]

Now she did actually try to trademark the Queen of Christmas and they shut her down and they said no.

[Priscilla Davies]

They were like, ma'am, let's. First of all, there's a real Queen of Christmas.

[Lacey Mosley]

She said, jesus, move out that way.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay. I love her for daring to try though.

[Lacey Mosley]

Right.

[Priscilla Davies]

And honestly, if I was working trademarks that day, she would have got it. Yep. She would have been approved.

[Lacey Mosley]

Honestly, the only person who could be like, okay, yeah, we know about Jesus, but what about me?

[Priscilla Davies]

Right? And Jesus is just the King of Christmas. Right?

[Lacey Mosley]

He need a queen.

[Priscilla Davies]

He need a queen. I don't know.

[Lacey Mosley]

I guess they're trying to say it's Mary, but like we know Mary was.

[Priscilla Davies]

Lying, but that's his mama, I guess. Okay. She's the Queen mother.

[Lacey Mosley]

She is she Queen Mother of Christmas.

[Priscilla Davies]

The regent Queen. Because he was just a baby in the manger.

[Lacey Mosley]

Game of Thrones. The Bible was the original Game of Thrones.

[Priscilla Davies]

She's the Queen of the North. Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

North Jerusalem, Northern.

[Priscilla Davies]

The main North Jerusalem, AKA Palestine. Free Palestine.

[Lacey Mosley]

So wow, I love our tangents. What's your relationship with Scamps Priscilla? Do you love him? Do you hate him? Has anything happened to you recently that you care to share?

[Priscilla Davies]

Damn, the past. Yeah, I mean I definitely was once a victim of the Israeli locksmith scam. I don't know if I've talked about that on this show before.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, you haven't. And that sounds so specific.

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, I mean we should honestly probably do a full on episode. Cause it's a whole thing. Like the only reason why I know it exists is cause after I got scammed, I went to the Googles. Cause I'll be researching and I was like, oh, this is a whole fucking network. From Canada on down to America the Beautiful. Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, this is a business. Okay.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's a network, a chain. It's a chain scammer business.

[Lacey Mosley]

That just sounds like a business to me.

[Priscilla Davies]

Hey, hey now.

[Lacey Mosley]

Sounds like they got franchises. They said we can open up robbery near you.

[Priscilla Davies]

Listen, when you're getting charged 300 something dollars to get let back in your apartment, that's. Yeah, that's, you know, I don't know if that's a business anymore. It's just a straight up scam.

[Lacey Mosley]

I mean, it's people who know how to break into your apartment and they're lending you their services. It still costs like $300 to get back into your AP.

[Priscilla Davies]

No, no. Oh girl, no, no, no. So when this went down, I was like, what the Fuck.

[Lacey Mosley]

Wait, what went down, though?

[Priscilla Davies]

So what happened was it's like fucking five in the morning, you know? And so me and the homies are coming back from the club, and everybody had gathered at my house first. So, like, we come back to my spot and everybody's gonna leave from there. Five in the fucking morning, the sun is coming up, and I don't have my goddamn key. And we're cracked out. The sun is coming up, and it's literally Sunday. So it's like. I mean, it was just. It was all bad.

[Lacey Mosley]

So.

[Priscilla Davies]

So we called around and we found this locksmith who was like, yeah, we'll be there. Da, da, da, da. Long story short, this guy shows up in an unmarked vehicle, okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

What you wanted him to have money for, like a van with a logo?

[Priscilla Davies]

This ain't Bob's birthday, so wait till I tell you. So that's okay. I'm glad you. We're gonna come back to that. I'm glad you brought that up. So the dude comes and he's like, yeah, you know, this is how much it's gonna be. And mind you, this fool took forever. It was like a whole thing. Like, he took a whole. So now the sun is up, okay? Motherfucker's going to church, okay? And we have this motherfucker sitting here, you know, he shows up. It takes him 10 minutes just to get out of that unmarked car. It was like that, okay? And then he comes and he unlocks the door. And mind you, they charge you for, like, each lock. Part of the scam, okay? So they charge me for each lock.

[Lacey Mosley]

They say you didn't want to get all the way back in or just partially back in, okay?

[Priscilla Davies]

So I was like, you know what? And now it's 7:00am I'm like, just take this fucking money and go. Like, I don't even give a shit. Come to find out after the fact that my keys happened to be in somebody else's purse that we were at. We were with that night, who lived in a whole different part of town and found that out on, like, Monday, like, at. Cause they were like, coworkers, my friend and this other person. So I just could not shake this shit. I was like, I know this is crazy. So I ended up actually having to go to an actual locksmith.

[Lacey Mosley]

Wait, I thought you went to one. This guy wasn't an actual locksmith.

[Priscilla Davies]

It was something like I went for something different or it was like just a. It just happened to be a coincidence that I was going to this another locksmith around the same Time. And this fool was like, he was like, yeah, you got scammed, girl. And he was like, it should have never cost that much. He was like. And then he was like, the. The vehicle should have been marked. He's like, that's how you know they're legit. He should have showed you a card with his fucking number on it. Yeah, it's like a whole thing. And I did all these Googles and I find out cuz the guy. I didn't know it was an Israeli accent at the time. I just knew it was an accent. I was like, oh, sound a little French, you know, da da da da. And it turns out that this freaking guy, you know, I Google and I find out this Israeli locksmith scams.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, they pulled like Judas just pulled something up. It says, the Israeli locksmith ring charged with fraud. A group operated in Missouri and Florida.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's all over. And I remember them also being in Canada. I don't know if it started in Canada and migrated down, but it's still, as you can see, it still exists.

[Lacey Mosley]

So they scammed their overcharging customers for their services. So according to this specific affidavit, these people were working with a company that was called Dependable Lock. So y'all, if y'all see Dependable Lock out there, run. Okay.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

Now it depends on how much money you got if you gonna get that lock.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay. That's what they say.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, so I didn't. Oh my God, I forgot the end of the story. So long story short, I think I like canceled their. The what? I paid them, right? So then I'm like going back with them and I ended up. They were like, okay, we settled on a price. Like that's how I knew they were a fucking scam. Cause once I, when I realized it then they settled on a price with me. So I ended up. They were like, just send a check. So I was like, all right. So I sent a check and I just wrote them a check for what I felt like was appropriate and that was it. Never heard from them again. And it was not. No. $325.

[Lacey Mosley]

I love that.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, I fight fraud dog.

[Lacey Mosley]

You did, you did. And also now we know, like if an unmarked car comes to Your house at 10pm charges you $300. You know what's wild is when I got locked out at my building, which is just haunted now. Like this new building manager came in and now he haunted the whole ho. Like, I'm not even joking. Like our elevators be broken all the time. Luxury Apartment buildings are a fucking scam, especially in Los Angeles. Like, I'm paying a mortgage to live in an apartment where I share walls. Like, come on, y'all.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's ridiculous.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's ridiculous. But, you know, they got the little theater and the little accoutrement, the little amenities, the pool, whatever. But I don't know what happened because this building was relatively new when I moved in. I think it had maybe been standing for like eight or nine months. So everything was brand new. No one's ever lived in my place before. La da da da. We used to have this great building manager, but then he, like, did something creepy. But he was so good and reliable.

[Priscilla Davies]

But then he had.

[Lacey Mosley]

Did some creepy stuff.

[Priscilla Davies]

Well, he was inappropriate as well.

[Lacey Mosley]

Why is it always like that? Why are the creeps always so good at their jobs? Now we can't keep you. Cause, like the main.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, now we can't benefit from your talents.

[Lacey Mosley]

Right?

[Priscilla Davies]

Because.

[Lacey Mosley]

Because rule number one, don't be creepy.

[Priscilla Davies]

Don't be creepy.

[Lacey Mosley]

It actually means you're actually bad at your job because you brought the creepiness to work. Like, you should have left that at home.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's professionalism or a lack thereof.

[Lacey Mosley]

But yeah. So this new guy, like, everything, he's breaking. Elevators are breaking. One of my neighbors got stuck inside the elevator this week. Was texting me, like, hey, can you help me get out of the elevator?

[Priscilla Davies]

I had to release somebody from my. Listen, I know the congregation knows about my elevator woes. I did have to release somebody from the elev in my building as well.

[Lacey Mosley]

Once when I got locked out. The number that they gave me to go, like, emergency number. They were sending me to a lockspot that would've charged me $300. So if that's not the price, then what is happening? Is this inflation now? Yesterday's price inflation.

[Priscilla Davies]

What year was this?

[Lacey Mosley]

This was this year, okay?

[Priscilla Davies]

That year of our Lord 2022. I'm sure it's inflated. This happened over five or six, maybe seven years ago.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, damn. $300, seven years ago. Thank you.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I'm not talking crazy, girl. This was like seven, eight years ago. They took your home for ransom, basically. I mean, this is when the economy was semi good. Not. You know what I mean?

[Lacey Mosley]

You called you like, I'm locked out. That was like when niggas were taking good luck.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, literally, you want to be.

[Lacey Mosley]

Unhoused because that's what you finna be if you don't give us this 300.

[Priscilla Davies]

And that fool was looking at me like, well, what else are you gonna do? And I was like, exactly. Here, take this bucket of shit down.

[Lacey Mosley]

And you're right, it should be.

[Priscilla Davies]

But I got them in the end. You did.

I need a Fake name for this person, Priscilla we don't care about.

[Priscilla Davies]

Let us call them Zelda.

[Lacey Mosley]

Zelda. That's actually gonna work out great.

[Priscilla Davies]

Perfect.

[Lacey Mosley]

So Zelda says, here's a very specific and weird scam that someone tried on me a couple years ago in Arizona. I was taking my time grocery shopping, considering which sauce to get or something, and I turned around and this absolutely gorgeous woman dressed in the this curve hugging, cool girl, hippie, jewel toned fit was making her way straight towards me. She smiled as she approached me and I went stupid. She said, hey, I get a vibe from you. I am submitting like, yes, this big dyke energy is finally being recognized and appreciated. This is Zelda talking about herself.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay, Zelda.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay. Zelda says she got that bde. Yes, yes. It says I'm pretty femme. So I love being clocked in public, especially in a crusty city in a red state. Yeah, that feels dangerous. I feel like if you are queer and you live in one of them crusty red states, you got to be.

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, you got to lock it up, right?

[Lacey Mosley]

You got to wear the one earring again, like back in the day.

[Priscilla Davies]

You got to remember which ears the game signal.

[Lacey Mosley]

You got to drop a little napkin by your ankle, okay. To tell the girls that you like to go down, right? Like, you can't just be out here all willy nilly. So I love this for both of them. So Zelda says, she continued, you have this amazing energy. I can see by your aura that there's something special about you. Like, I can tell you have great energy. And so Zelda's like, I was still thinking I should definitely ask for her number when she said, okay, listen, I have a message for you. There's someone in the spiritual plane trying to communicate with you. Do you have a minute?

[Priscilla Davies]

Uh oh.

[Lacey Mosley]

So this was starting to sound like the Long Island Medium. In parentheses, US camera. Yes, we love Theresa Giudice. Why I say Theresa Giudice?

[Priscilla Davies]

That's somebody else. Pretty close.

[Lacey Mosley]

But we do love Theresa, the Long island medium. Her and her. She brought back. She single handedly brought back the French tip.

[Priscilla Davies]

It was her. Yeah, Long Island Medium.

[Lacey Mosley]

Who's laughing now because now we're all getting French tips again.

[Priscilla Davies]

She's like, I'm because of her.

[Lacey Mosley]

Definitely not because of her. She just held on for so long that it came back. So she's a trend predictor.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm pretty sure all the influencers are following what the Long Island Medium is doing. Let's be Teresa Caputo. I know. Gigi Hadid follows Theresa Caputo.

[Lacey Mosley]

She's a tastemaker. Okay.

[Priscilla Davies]

Period.

[Lacey Mosley]

She knows the past, the present, and the future.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

For fashion.

[Priscilla Davies]

And clearly, as she demonstrated with her.

[Lacey Mosley]

Nails, she's like, turtlenecks are coming back. We're like, we believe you, Theresa. Theresa Caputo. We stand. So she's saying that this starts sounding a little Long Island Medium. Ish. Zelda says, my guard goes up and my heart stopped fluttering. And I said, oh, I mean, sure. And she said, okay, great. So I do energy readings, and I can give you some Reiki so you can receive the message. Have you ever had Reiki? And this is the scammer talking. So if you don't know what Reiki is, it's energy healing. Yeah. Because it's not quite a therapist. You don't necessarily have to be certified in Reiki.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, yeah, you do.

[Lacey Mosley]

Certain people are, but some people aren't.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm sure. But you're supposed to. I mean, you can do a Reiki program and get your certification. You're supposed to. You're supposed to.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, but correct me if I'm wrong. In Reiki, there's no physical touching.

[Priscilla Davies]

No, there's no touching.

[Lacey Mosley]

They're literally just, like, waving their hands over your body and, like, doing energy healing. Now, here's my thing about Reiki, because I've heard people really love Reiki and it really helps, and they feel the presence and the energy. So I definitely don't want to take away from that. But I'm sorry if I didn't pay for a session where I'm laying on the table. You better rub one of these knots out.

[Priscilla Davies]

Touch me.

[Lacey Mosley]

We need some Reiki massage combo. You better get into the shoulder blade and then do a little hoodoo on top of it. I can't just be laying there like, hello. I'm like, face down, like, you still here? Hello.

[Priscilla Davies]

So you've never done it?

[Lacey Mosley]

No, I haven't.

[Priscilla Davies]

I've done it. I did it once. Ironically, the person who did it is now a famous astrologer. I'm not gonna say any names, but she's a famous astrologer.

[Lacey Mosley]

I know all the famous astrologers. So you don't tell.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay, okay. No, but she's like, people be knowing her. I'm like, really? But yeah. So she did Reiki on me. This is like when I first moved to la and I didn't. And I never went back. I just. No shade to her. But it was.

[Lacey Mosley]

It hitting.

[Priscilla Davies]

It didn't hit. It didn't hit. I don't even know what I went There for.

[Lacey Mosley]

And she said, let me lay on this table and let me not touch you. But the air around you.

[Priscilla Davies]

I listen. You know, I do believe in energy. You know, we are obviously all made of energy. And I do think that, like, you can do. You can feel people's energy. Yeah. And you can. You can. I've had moments where people have done stuff, and I'm like, oh, shit. I did feel that, you know, So I do believe it can work. And I'm sure, like, maybe if I did it a few times, you know, went back.

[Lacey Mosley]

Well, it's also just about the person, too. I feel like it's like, yeah, you can walk into any nail salon and get your nails done. Does that mean they'll be done?

[Priscilla Davies]

Well, right, Exactly.

[Lacey Mosley]

Does that mean that maybe, like, the woman who's doing your nails will pop off one of your acrylics with a Metro card? Maybe. That happened to me in New York.

[Priscilla Davies]

God, she took off one of my.

[Lacey Mosley]

Acrylic nails with a Metro car. Popped that bitch off like it was normal.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, my God.

[Lacey Mosley]

And I was just like, huh?

[Priscilla Davies]

You're like, am I gonna fight or just get this manicure?

[Lacey Mosley]

Worst manicure ever. She was so terrible. But I should have. When she did the Metro card, it was time to go. Yeah, that's not an official photo.

[Priscilla Davies]

She should have taken the Metro card.

[Lacey Mosley]

She poked at it. Barbasol. She's, like, putting the Metro card in Barbasol, like, sanitizing it for the next customer.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's not clean.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's not clean at all. Like, I'm just glad I didn't get a hand infection or something fell off. So now back to Zelda. So Zelda says, now I'm confused. She says she wants to deliver a message, but wants to do an energy reading through Reiki. I was curious to see where this was going, but I was fully guarded now. Especially since I knew a bit about Reiki from a friend who's a practitioner. I said, oh, yeah, I've done Reiki a few times. She said, okay, that's great. So do you have a moment? Can I give you Reiki now? Zelda said. I said, right here in the grocery.

[Priscilla Davies]

Store, at the produce aisle, right next.

[Lacey Mosley]

To the grapefruits in front of my salad dressing.

[Priscilla Davies]

The fuck? Like what?

[Lacey Mosley]

Like, Reiki is a thing. You don't do Reiki at Kroger.

[Priscilla Davies]

You don't. Maybe at Ralph's. Definitely not Kroger.

[Lacey Mosley]

I feel like if you were gonna do Reiki anywhere, it's Whole Foods. Is it Kroger's or Erewhon.

[Priscilla Davies]

Aren't we black? Don't we say Kroger's?

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, we have this. It's Kroger's. It's Nordstrom's. It's JCPenney's.

[Priscilla Davies]

It sounds right to me, and it is right.

[Lacey Mosley]

I actually. I had a script supervisor at work the other day be like, lacey, there's no S on Besides. And I was like, shit. And I was like, no, Besides.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, but if you say, like, well, besides. But if you use it by itself.

[Lacey Mosley]

I was like, besides, no.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, you can.

[Lacey Mosley]

And our script super. Our dialogue coach is also a blog.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, I guess it would be besides.

[Lacey Mosley]

He was like, damn, I didn't even notice that it's an S on there. What do you mean? That's seasoning.

[Priscilla Davies]

Besides.

[Lacey Mosley]

Besides. Okay, what y'all talking about?

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, the fuck?

[Lacey Mosley]

So besides that, they are in this damn store, and Zelda says that the hot girl hippie wants to do Reiki on her in front of the eggplants. So obviously that doesn't sound like a good situation, right? So I said, oh, right here. And again, we are in a grocery store. Zelda says. She says, if y'all have never had Reiki, usually you're in a very quiet setting, laying down or sitting in a sort of meditative environment. And she said, yes, it's just gonna be $500.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, my girl, if you don't hand me that mango and get the fuck up out of my face.

[Lacey Mosley]

Do you know how much baby formula I could get for $500 at the grocery store? At least two cans.

[Priscilla Davies]

Let me tell you why.

[Lacey Mosley]

This grip shit is expensive, bitch. You think I'm in the most expensive shakedown in the world right now, the grocery store? And you think I'm gonna get you $500 to do Reiki on me?

[Priscilla Davies]

And in a grocery store, in the.

[Lacey Mosley]

Frozen food aisle, like the Green Giant gonna be looking at us the whole time? No.

[Priscilla Davies]

This scam fails, I don't know where it's headed, and I look forward to hearing it. But let me just tell you why it's already fucking up. Okay, first of all, who brings $500 cash to the grocery store? Let's start there. Number two, who trying to get Ricky, as you said, in the frozen food.

[Lacey Mosley]

Section, she must have been a real bad bitch.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, I just. I don't know what she was thinking that she thought she could pull this off.

[Lacey Mosley]

I think she thought I'm sexy.

[Priscilla Davies]

Pretty privileged.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, pretty privileged. And she definitely must have a lot of it. Because if you come up to somebody selling them this kind of bridge, selling them this kind of bullshit, you must be a fine ass bitch, okay? To the point where people just gonna listen to you while they're staring at.

[Priscilla Davies]

You and pull out a wad of cash that they have. Definitely.

[Lacey Mosley]

They're like, I don't know. You need it more than me. Being sexy must be expensive.

[Priscilla Davies]

Clearly it is.

[Lacey Mosley]

So she does need that money.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's true.

[Lacey Mosley]

So Zelda says, $500 for a grocery store medium. I look like that much of a simp. I kind of chuckled and said, oh, no, that's all right. Actually, one of my dearest friends is a Reiki master. So I go to her pretty often and she doesn't charge me $500. I could see her starting to get annoyed, but she tried to stay charming. She said, okay, that's. That's fine. I really want to get this message to you. So what did she charge you? Starting to sound like you're Israeli Rocksmith. She's like, okay, $500. Too much. The message could be cheaper. I think the message could let me talk to the spirits. Okay. They said the message could be a little cheaper.

[Priscilla Davies]

They sent me a code, okay, A discount code.

[Lacey Mosley]

Send me a discount code from the.

[Priscilla Davies]

Spirit world so I can take that down.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, you just gotta use Astral Plane 47. Okay. And then the spirits are gonna give you a discount for. Only for first time customers. So I got a big shit eating grin on my face, says Zelda. And she said she told the scammer, well, she gives me a great fan discount, like $50. She was getting very impatient at this point and said, okay, fine, I'll do it for $50. You got Venmo.

[Priscilla Davies]

Damn, she really needed that money.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, but she started so high. She started with $500 for grocery store Reiki and then came down so hard.

[Priscilla Davies]

So hard. I'm questioning the quality of this reiki.

[Lacey Mosley]

$500. Okay. A dollar.

[Priscilla Davies]

This is crackhead negotiation. Whatever. You gotta get back in.

[Lacey Mosley]

This is crackhead negotiation. Okay? You started just wanting a vcr. Felicia, like, what?

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, it's giving Felicia, like, girl, that's.

[Lacey Mosley]

Too big of a price drop.

[Priscilla Davies]

Y'all need to. Boholisha.

[Lacey Mosley]

Boholisha. So in a split second, her whole ethereal, sexy hippie vibe fully dropped. She sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes, pivoted and walked away.

[Priscilla Davies]

She was like a whole different. You know who she reminds me of? Hippies who are really evil.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, yes. I know exactly what you're talking about. You know, like that bitch is evil.

[Priscilla Davies]

Right? It's so interesting. Like, that was just a whole fucking facade.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. I'm very leery of people who are too. Like, anytime anybody makes anything their whole thing, I'm like, you're full of shit. I don't care what it is. I don't care if you love running, if running is your whole thing and everyone. Like, you can't just not be. Like, something's wrong with you that you.

[Priscilla Davies]

Make it your personality.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, if it's your personality, you're sick fuck. Like, and you're trying to hide from the fact that you're not a good person. So you've made something, your personality, distract people from the fact that you're evil and don't have one. Your personality is getting what you want from people, so you got to trick them. And, like, anytime I see the girlies, like, look, I love a crystal. I love a sage. I love a candle that I burned for three days straight and risk burning my home down, but it's for vibes. Like, I love all of that shit. But, like, people who are too, like, oh, yeah, well, you know, we're just vibrating here, and it's our whole personality. I'm like, bitch, what are you hiding? Yeah, you fucking crook. You sociopath. What's wrong with you?

[Priscilla Davies]

I want now, I want to know what her real story is. Like, what this hippie's real story was.

[Lacey Mosley]

I do, too. But we know the real story is rooted in grifting. And manipulation has been a survival tactic for a very long time.

[Priscilla Davies]

Damn. Lacey just dressed her down.

[Lacey Mosley]

So sorry, sis. Therapeutically so sorry, sis. We know what you up to, so. Because immediately, when she can't get what she wants, she's no longer nice anymore.

[Priscilla Davies]

Exactly.

[Lacey Mosley]

We've met those people who are, like, so friendly, so in your place. But the second they realize you're not a fool, they turn on you. And they turn on you hard a lot of time. They're vengeful, too.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like, they're the pettiest motherfuckers. They're like, you didn't let me trick you. All right, bitch, I'll be waiting outside your bushes for the next six months.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're the type of people that, like, like, you know, ruminate on things. And, like, yeah, they feel scorned.

[Lacey Mosley]

They feel like they're the victim when someone doesn't let them victimize them.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's narcissism.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, exactly. So any. And I'm telling y'all, if y'all got anybody out there who Made their whole personality a thing. That's not a part of personality. You're dealing with a narcissist.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's not a part. The key is it can't actually be a part of personalities. Right?

[Lacey Mosley]

A personality can be like, oh, you're fun. Or you're. You like to joke or you love adventures. You like to travel. That can be a part of your personality.

[Priscilla Davies]

But, like. But you have to be. Well, human beings are multifaceted. Exactly. And that's one of the things that really bothers me is that because we live in a society that's just so, you know, everything should just be one thing and fit into a box. People who are actually multifaceted, like, everybody else was at them, like they're crazy. Like they're doing too much. You know what I mean? And it's like, baby, we supposed to be doing more than just one thing on this planet, you know?

[Lacey Mosley]

No, man, look, we're supposed to be. I'm a shoe guy. I do shoes. I mean, I'm a shoe head. A sneakerhead.

[Priscilla Davies]

Be a sneaker head. Monday through Friday. That's full time sneakerheads. I know that. That's 24 7. But you know how to wrap all.

[Lacey Mosley]

Their shoes in plastic for Selena.

[Priscilla Davies]

My God. I'm not sure if you ever seen. They have to lick their clean soles every 15 minutes.

[Lacey Mosley]

I've seen someone do that in prison. And lick the souls of the. Because it's the only time you can lick it is when it's out the box. Factories, dude. Like, where rats are running around. Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies]

And factories are nasty. As nasty as.

[Lacey Mosley]

Especially ones that don't make food. Their standards are low. Low.

[Priscilla Davies]

Because the ones that make food, the standards are regular low.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, pretty low. They're like. You can have like, a little bit of roach in each. In each snack bar.

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, literally, as long as it's just like no more than three roach legs drinks, you're fine.

[Lacey Mosley]

That's literally what the FDA does. Like, we're not joking. We be eating all types of wild. If it's in packaging. Honey.

[Priscilla Davies]

Listen. I learned that whenever you open a can, which we're sipping on right now, anytime you open a can, you should watch. Which we did not do. But you're supposed to, like, wipe down the top. Because the rasping and on them, like, basically, like crazy. Crazy should be going down in the factory at this point.

[Lacey Mosley]

I've done so much piss play with rodents. I just gotta take the L. I gotta take the L. I gotta just take the little ratatouille.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'll take some golden showers. Just. Just unintentionally an unintentional golden shower.

[Lacey Mosley]

If you do take them intentionally, that. Look, that's your life. As long as everybody's participating and having a good time and wants to be there.

[Priscilla Davies]

No kidding me here.

[Lacey Mosley]

Not at all. I'm saying. I'm just unwillingly doing it as I stuck on this coke can. But here we are. Here we are in life. Okay, so what don't kill you brings you closer to death, but doesn't kill.

[Priscilla Davies]

You makes your body hurt?

[Lacey Mosley]

What does it kill you makes your body hurt? That should literally be the phrase. Why does it makes you stronger? It doesn't. If someone attempts. Makes an attempt on your life, you are mostly for certain gonna be weaker.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

Like Kelly Cartula does. What doesn't kill your makes you weaker.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, yeah, fragile. Fragile, broken, distraught, disheveled.

[Lacey Mosley]

But that's okay. Look, we gotta rebrand toxic positivity. We all about it. Okay? Anyway, so as soon as this grifter doesn't get what she wants, she sucks her teeth, she walks away. So then Zelda says, I saw her trying this a few more times on other shoppers as I continued through the store. She didn't even have a basket. I smiled at her every time we passed each other and she just rolled her eyes back at me.

[Priscilla Davies]

Wow.

[Lacey Mosley]

Someone must have finally reported her because by the time I checked out and got to my car, she was being.

[Priscilla Davies]

I wanna. Zelda, first of all, I wanna give you props for taking the high road. Like, I give you mad respect and I me, I don't know. I'm from New Jersey. I like to fight. You know what I mean? So I feel like this would have, you know, I would've gone off on this bitch. I probably wouldn't have. I don't know. It depends on how I was feeling that day. But I appreciate that you just. You were like, you know, I smiled at her every time she rolled her eyes right back at me. Killed him with kindness. You know what I mean?

[Lacey Mosley]

Cause the girl's just mad because you didn't give her what she. She wanted. So, yeah, you should be smiling because you're like, ha ha, nana nana boo boo. Like. Like Cardi B said, like, you know, yeah, you should. But also what's intriguing to me is this woman didn't even try to sell the fantasy of like, she was at this grocery store for anything other than a grift. Because that's the point.

[Priscilla Davies]

It had nothing in her hands.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, she had no basket she was pushing. She. She had no cart, she had no basket.

[Priscilla Davies]

She didn't even list one item.

[Lacey Mosley]

She had no list. She definitely had no list. This is. This is how bitches going to Target, okay? I always go to Target with no list, no basket and no cart because I'm like, I know what I came in here for. Next cut to me, like, hands full.

[Priscilla Davies]

Really? I was like, okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

And you know, that's the most shameful part of Target is when you gotta go over to the security guard where he got the cards and he's like, yeah, bitch, you thought.

[Priscilla Davies]

You thought this shit.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, put your shit in that cart. Take your ass back over there. Oh, you thought you was coming here for some toothpaste. That's hilarious.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, right? Hey, you know what? Give me some dentine ice, okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

Remember those Ditzy and ice commercials?

[Priscilla Davies]

I remember the winter fresh ones. Remember those?

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. When I think about gum commercials, I think about how they're just as stupid but seem to be on the inside of being stupid commercials, whereas perfume commercials are not. So I think of perfume commercials and gum commercials as the same thing. You're selling something that we cannot smell or that we cannot taste, right?

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

So you gotta, like, sell the vibe of it. So perfume be like Zendaya riding a horse. You wanna smell like that? I'm like, I mean, she's a bad bitch. She probably smells great on that horse. Yeah, I will wanna SM smell like that.

[Priscilla Davies]

I never thought about it like that.

[Lacey Mosley]

Charlize Theron. She wearing gold and now she throwing it all off and then she getting in the pool. You want to smell like that?

[Priscilla Davies]

I never thought of that.

[Lacey Mosley]

Dinsy Nice is like the more comedic dumb version of that.

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, where they're like, ah.

[Lacey Mosley]

And then mouth opens and they have like blue crystals flying out their mouth to somebody that they talking to at the club and they're like, kissing and the light's sexy.

[Priscilla Davies]

Always the sound of the wind. And I always imagine it being freezing.

[Lacey Mosley]

You want some Top of the Mountain peppermint Patty? Freezing ass breath.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

I want them to open their mouth one time. Just like, icicle comes out. Like, it's hard. That's how cold it is.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's a little weird.

[Lacey Mosley]

Is it weirder than what's already happening Fetishy that a frozen ice comes out of anybody's mouth? Oh, okay.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah. Think about the shape of that icicle. Yeah, it's very phallic.

[Lacey Mosley]

Sure, fine.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm just saying.

[Lacey Mosley]

Fair. I was, I. I was thinking, my.

[Priscilla Davies]

Brain'S in the water. Sorry.

[Lacey Mosley]

But anyway, she didn't even have no dentist. She had nothing. She was just walking around the store being fine and targeting people. It's a good scam, but it's also a dumb ass scam. Cause it's like, who wants to get rubbed on at the fucking Kroger's?

[Priscilla Davies]

Not even rubbed on. Like you. So imagine, imagine $500, right? Imagine you're at the Krogers and you're standing. You're standing up next to the Mac and cheese, okay? And this lady's just doing all this.

[Lacey Mosley]

Woo, woo.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, how insane must that look? You know what I mean? Like, girl, ain't nobody trying to be in public. I didn't even want to do that shit behind closed doors.

[Lacey Mosley]

It is embarrassing behind closed doors. It's definitely more embarrassing to do it in front of people as you're also.

[Priscilla Davies]

Hearing just like, boop, boop, boop.

[Lacey Mosley]

You over here getting a message.

[Priscilla Davies]

Clean up on aisle three. Clean up on aisle three.

[Lacey Mosley]

The ancestors are saying. And I'm like, why is this happening to me?

[Priscilla Davies]

Also the grift of like, I need to do Reiki to get the message. Bitch, give me the message.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, give me the message right now.

[Priscilla Davies]

Just charge me for the message. Like, why? That's the other reason. Girl, I know you pretty privileged. That's all I gotta say. Cause like, girl, you didn't think this through.

[Lacey Mosley]

No. And that's not how Reiki works. And I know you just found a buzzword and we're like, yes, right?

[Priscilla Davies]

It's like so fucking dumb.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm gonna do EMTR to you, but for a specific message, but also for $500. And we must do it in the produce aisle.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's not how it works at all.

[Lacey Mosley]

But guys, we're gonna take a quick break for some non scam advertisements and we'll be right back with historic Hoodwinks.

[Priscilla Davies]

Robbery just in and so good. Thousands of spring finds up to 70% off are at Nordstrom Rack stores now. And that means thousands of fresh reasons to rack.

[Lacey Mosley]

How did I not know Rack has Adidas? Why do we rack for the hottest deals?

[Priscilla Davies]

Save on madewell, Vince, Kate Spade, New York, Sam Edelman, Joe's and more. Great brands, great prices. That's why you rack.

[Lacey Mosley]

Hey, guys, have you heard of Goldbelly? Oh, my God, it's the coolest thing ever. It's this amazing site where they ship the most iconic famous foods from restaurants across the country anywhere nationwide. I've never found a more perfect Valentine's gift. They ship Chicago deep dish pizza New York bagels, Maine lobster rolls, and even Ina Garten's famous cakes. Seriously. So if you're looking for a Valentine's Day gift for the food lover in your Life, head to goldbelly.com and get 20% off your first order with promo code, gift and fraud. And we are back. It's time for my favorite part of the show, Historic Hoodwinks. This is where I will regale Priscilla with a famous con caper. Group of criminals. We don't know until we know, but we'll see if we love them or if we hate them. Let's find out.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm so excited.

[Lacey Mosley]

So today, a content warning. At the top here, there is a brief mention of someone taking their own life. So we're just gonna say that up top, but we'll try to get over that as quickly and kindly as possible because we don't like to do the dark stuff here. So for almost 20 years, Marimoro Samuraguchi was one of Japan's most beloved composers. We have a picture of him right now up there on the screen. And is he holding the cane?

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, he is. Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

And he's in a chair, and he's got on sunglasses, and he's got long hair, luscious hair.

[Priscilla Davies]

Beautiful.

[Lacey Mosley]

Ha. And you could tell he didn't do anything to it. So if they, like, ran a flatiron to Davitz or, like, a little blowout, it would really be giving.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's nice.

[Lacey Mosley]

So he was one of Japan's most beloved composers, with some even calling him Japan's Beethoven. He was lauded as a musical genius who, despite becoming deaf later in life, composed beautiful works. However, after building a career for 18 years, it was revealed that Samoroguchi may not be as musical or hard of hearing as he says. So he had a cane and he had on sunglasses?

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

So my assumption was that he's lying. Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies]

I guess he mixed up the disabilities. He was like, yes, I cannot. I am deaf. I cannot hear. And that's why I wear sunglasses. Sunglasses. And I have a cane. Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay. Okay, well, let's read on, because we don't know yet, but it's given. Like, you went to the store for the wrong costume. So. So Samura Gucci was born Sept. 21, 1963, in Hiroshima. Both of his parents or. Hiroshima. Why did I say Hiroshima?

[Priscilla Davies]

You were talking so much about.

[Lacey Mosley]

So much about knowing how to pronounce Hiroshima. Because it's. They gave me a phonetic here, and I was like, I went to school, guys. I read, and then I Literally said Hiroshima.

[Priscilla Davies]

Hiroshima.

[Lacey Mosley]

He was from Hiroshima.

[Priscilla Davies]

Y'all know I fought in Hiroshima, right?

[Lacey Mosley]

So both of his parents were victims of the effects of the atomic bomb. People, also known as Hibakosha. So these are people who, when our trash ass nation dropped bombs on innocent people, you know, the effects of those radiation wise, like, still to this day, we don't need bombs. Nobody needs bombs.

[Priscilla Davies]

White men need bombs.

[Lacey Mosley]

And that's why we need to stop them.

[Priscilla Davies]

Cause they don't.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like, bitch, if y'all want to fight war, let's just designate. And I think I've said this on this positive before. Let's designate some place in Iceland or somewhere where all the leaders, all the people who want to put their dick on the table instead of trying to send innocent young people who need health care and they need, you know, to take care of their families to survive over, to fight your shit. Y'all go over there and y'all fist fight each other. Bitch, leave us out of it. Like, what I got to do with that?

[Priscilla Davies]

You know, I just don't understand. Well, I guess. I guess I get it. I was like, I don't understand the grift of, like, you know, getting convinced into, like. But I guess when you have to defend your territory, I get that. But then it's just.

[Lacey Mosley]

But is anything ever ours? Bitch, when we die, we don't get nothing to. We can't take no land with us.

[Priscilla Davies]

Listen, we black people understand that this planet is not for us to have. It's for us to enjoy while we're here and share amongst each other. Most black and brown people understand that, you know, the problem is not coming from us. You understand what I'm saying?

[Lacey Mosley]

Yes. No, I get it. It's like if everybody's at a Golden Corral, it feels like all the people of color and minority and disenfranchised people are just like, oh, let's get a scoop of potatoes. Let's get this. And then the straight white man comes in and he starts wheeling out all the buffet tables, all the fucking food, and we're like, bro, we just enjoyed the buffet. He's like, no, I own the buffet.

[Priscilla Davies]

I own it now. You gotta pay me for it. Yeah, bro, why?

[Lacey Mosley]

So anyways, his parents were victims of the effects of this, so he rose to international fame with his contributions to the soundtrack of the film. First Resident Evil video game in the late 90s. And this gem is included. So we have, like, a little. A little snippet of his Resident Evil bop, which I didn't even Know, like video game soundtracks for that. Popping.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

Turn this off. Oh, my God. I'm terrified.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay, that's the sound.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, that's the sound that he. I guess they like that over there.

[Priscilla Davies]

Sounded like a fart machine.

[Lacey Mosley]

Damn. We was calling him Beethoven earlier, not Japan's Beethoven. And it was like.

[Priscilla Davies]

The.

[Lacey Mosley]

Look, they like whatever they doing on Resident Evil. I know that's a very popular game. So this is also the late 90s, so we have to give him the technological grace.

[Priscilla Davies]

I hope that was just the intro and it.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, maybe it got busted.

[Priscilla Davies]

Maybe the beats come in later.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, maybe the beat hasn't dropped yet.

[Priscilla Davies]

But it was.

[Lacey Mosley]

It was not giving one. We thought so. Samuraguchi was lauded for the beauty that his music. Wait, what? That music was a beautiful vibe. The beauty of his music. Music. Despite going deaf at the age of 35, around that time, he began composing for a number of video games. Note. He told people he started to lose his hearing due to a degenerative disease. So if you lose something with a degenerative disease, like, it's a slow. It can be slower. It can be very quickly, depending on the pace, but, you know.

[Priscilla Davies]

But it's not an instant thing.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, exactly. So he claimed to rely on his perfect pitch to compose after losing his hearing. In a 2001 Time magazine interview, he said, if you trust your inner sense of sound, you create something that is truer. Losing my hearing was a gift from God. I just feel like this specific business, like, maybe if he was partially or, you know, was using, like, an aid or something, but, like, if you completely lose your hearing, I feel like that would kind of hurt.

[Priscilla Davies]

Well, I mean, didn't.

[Lacey Mosley]

I don't think it makes it impossible.

[Priscilla Davies]

Wasn't Beethoven deaf? Maybe one of those dudes was based.

[Lacey Mosley]

On the deaf stuff.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's like Bach or Beethoven or.

[Lacey Mosley]

But, like, I also know that, like, deaf friends have told me that, like, they still, like, love, you know, be at the concerts, be at the music.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, they feel the vibrations.

[Lacey Mosley]

Feel the vibrations. Like, you know, so they're still having. So people. So you can enjoy music no matter what. But I feel like this sentence to me is giving, like, grift.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's like doubling down a little too hard. Like, I feel like most people would be like, if, you know, hearing was a huge part of my career, then if I slowly lost it, I would be like, this is devastating.

[Priscilla Davies]

Right.

[Lacey Mosley]

I wouldn't immediately be so positive.

[Priscilla Davies]

I understand what you're saying. Yes. I mean, some people like to find the Bright side, immediately, that's true toxic positivity. And look, we see Beethoven. Yeah. Beethoven was deaf. I don't know if he was still composing afterwards. I think he did or maybe he didn't. I don't know.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies]

He revealed issues including large amounts of lead in his system. Oh, damn, damn.

[Lacey Mosley]

Beethoven got poisoned with the lead. Damn, damn. So, you know, that makes sense with them calling him Japan's Beethoven. So now he's like, I really am Japan's Beethoven. He's kind of following the same.

[Priscilla Davies]

He's following the script blueprint.

[Lacey Mosley]

So he became even more well known with his 2003 composition, Symphony Number One, Hiroshima, intended to be a memorial piece for the hibakusha. In 2008, he was given Citizens Award by the mayor for his artistic contributions. And remember, Hibakusha are the people who have suffered residual effects from bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So he did this in dedication to those people, and his parents are in that number. So, you know, that's like, a big deal. In 2011, after Japan's earthquake and subsequent tsunami and nuclear meltdown disaster, Symphony Number one was transformed into a kind of theme song of national survivor wow. Or survival.

[Priscilla Davies]

Excuse me. So this motherfucker was popping in Japan?

[Lacey Mosley]

Yes, he was popping in Japan. Basically, he wrote up a new national anthem for him.

[Priscilla Davies]

Damn. Real quick, how come we never heard of him? I mean, I guess he just couldn't. We don't play Resident Evil, bridge that gap.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm sure people know about him over here.

[Priscilla Davies]

Sure, sure, sure.

[Lacey Mosley]

But we just. I guess we're not on that level.

[Priscilla Davies]

Maybe in the video game world. Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

And maybe other places. Composers be famous.

[Priscilla Davies]

Composers be famous. Good to know.

[Lacey Mosley]

We don't know, like, they might be famous. But also, it's interesting to me that there was an earthquake, there was a tsunami, and a nuclear meltdown disaster.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

He was like, hey, y'all, bump my song.

[Priscilla Davies]

He was like, you know what would make us feel better in this moment? Wawa.

[Lacey Mosley]

Wawa.

[Priscilla Davies]

I forgot.

[Lacey Mosley]

Let me play my SoundCloud real quick at the memorial. And I'm sure. Don't drag us. I'm sure he got some busting tunes. That one was just a video game. That's the one that we pulled up, which it was just shocking that it was.

[Priscilla Davies]

I need the Resident Evil Stans not to come for us.

[Lacey Mosley]

Literally. They're getting ready. So through a documentary produced by nhk, Japan's national broadcaster, Samuraguchi was likewise turned into the face of strength and resilience for the Japanese people. I Hate how that's written. I'm so sorry. But basically, they put him on TV and they were like, this is our girl and he's helping us through the music. Yeah, he's surviving and he's just like Beethoven in every way. A little too coincidentally. But we're going with it. In 2014, Japanese Olympic figure skater Daisuke Takahashi was set to perform to Saramaguchi's sonatina violin. At the time, though, it was revealed that that may not actually have been his work.

[Priscilla Davies]

Ooh.

[Lacey Mosley]

So he was claiming that he composed sonatina, but now, as soon as this huge Olympic figure skater is about to skate to it, they're like, now wait a minute. Chile, not yours.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm just curious what flipped the switch.

[Lacey Mosley]

So days before he would perform, Saramoguchi, now 50, came forward to confess that the most famous of his works had been written by someone else. It became clear why he confessed when he did, as the following day, the ghostwriter himself stepped forward to further elaborate blackmailing on the lies that Sarah Maguchi had used for years to bolster his career. So he said, I'm about to take all your shit down.

[Priscilla Davies]

Damn.

[Lacey Mosley]

To the point where Sam Gucci had to come out and be like, ah, Ah. Don't start skating yet. Put the torch out. Olympics. Put that bitch out. Put it out. Michelle, sit down. Michelle Quan, sit your ass down. Actually, I did not write this song. It's very crazy.

[Priscilla Davies]

Bad news, guys. The truth is I'm a liar. I'm a fucking f fraud. And I can hear everything you're saying right now.

[Lacey Mosley]

The truth is I'm a liar is now my favorite phrase. The truth is I'm a liar.

[Priscilla Davies]

I don't know if we're gonna get more details, but I'm curious to see how he was holding this guy hostage this whole time in the first place.

[Lacey Mosley]

Right, so Tekashi Nagaki, 43 years old, is largely unknown. He was a part time lecturer at a school of music.

[Priscilla Davies]

Do you see this guy?

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. This is the kind of guy you steal his music.

[Priscilla Davies]

Literally, just steal his music. I would have stolen his music too, dog. You deserve it. Sorry.

[Lacey Mosley]

I've never thought of myself as a bully, but I've never seen someone that I wanted to push in a locker so bad.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, my God.

[Lacey Mosley]

He looks cute and really sweet, though.

[Priscilla Davies]

He looks really cute and sweet, but I totally get why he got murked.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, he definitely has gotten a swirly once or twice in his life though.

[Priscilla Davies]

A thousand percent. And honestly, the bow tie's not helping Guy, it's so small, too. Yeah, like, what is that?

[Lacey Mosley]

And the suit is wrinkly. Babe, babes, what's going on? Let's give a class photo. Like, senior class photo. Also give you that bathsuit jacket.

[Priscilla Davies]

Isn't the little pocket square supposed to match the bow tie?

[Lacey Mosley]

No, not necessarily. He might have been trying to hit us with some drip. I'm not mad at that. He seems cute.

[Priscilla Davies]

I will say, though, that the bow tie is giving a little bit. I'm not gonna lie. It's different.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, it's eating a little bit. Look, we're becoming more.

[Priscilla Davies]

What was his name? I'm sorry.

[Lacey Mosley]

Tekashi. And I started, like, saying I wanted to push Tekashi in the locker.

[Priscilla Davies]

Tekashi.

[Lacey Mosley]

Tekashi, you're adorable.

[Priscilla Davies]

Let's issue a formal apology to Tekashi.

[Lacey Mosley]

Tekashi, we're so sorry. You already got stolen from a scam. We shouldn't have come in that hard.

[Priscilla Davies]

Tekashi. 6ix9ine. We are sorry.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, no, not the 6ix9ine one. Now you get your cousin. 6ix9. Get his bitch ass out of here. So he's also the true author of Saramagotchi's music. Tekashi said that he had written more than 20 songs for Saramaguchi since 1996, for which he received the equivalent of about 70. He said he pushed Sera Noguchi to come forward after years of begging him to go public because he couldn't stand the deception in the face of an Olympic performance. So now he's like, my good ass. Music is going to the Olympics.

[Priscilla Davies]

Right? That was. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. If you think about how much money he was probably making, the appearances, like signing stuff, all these tall tales that he's told people that made him seem like a Beethoven hero.

[Priscilla Davies]

Right. I mean, also, 70k starting in the 90s.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's 2014.

[Priscilla Davies]

Right.

[Lacey Mosley]

So starting in the 90s, 70k total is 2014.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's not a lot.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, we pushing about 25 years. How long can you stretch 70k?

[Priscilla Davies]

Meanwhile, this guy is winning Grammys, Japanese Grammys, Japanese American Music Awards.

[Lacey Mosley]

Imagine you ghostwriting and then they like, this is the new national anthem for Japan and you sitting in the corner, like, for real.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, you know, shout out to ghostwriters. Couldn't be me.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, same. I mean, like, as long as you get your coin and you get paid in whatever credit you want. But this feels like he just was stealing your shit. And I'm trying to Understand why? Still sealed. He also said that he never believed Seramaguchi was deaf and that they had normal conversations and that Seramaguchi provided feedback on the music that he wrote for him, according to Tekashi. He says, at first he acted to me as if he had suffered hearing loss, but he stopped doing so eventually. Later, I found out that he cannot even write musical scores.

[Priscilla Davies]

God damn, nigga. What you doing here? What is you doing here in the music department, Tekashi?

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, question for you, though, King. Clearly you know how to write music. So if he's sending you notes, then the fuck is he sending you notes? And how do you not realize he don't know how to write music? He was like, yeah, can you take the fourth treble clef up six notches? Like, what is he saying to you? Because he don't know about music. He's like, yeah, let's get that in the minor key and the major key and mix in a little of that contralto and soprano. You know what I'm talking about? Don't ray me. Faso. Latito. That's just one email.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's all it says, literally. So sorry. Does Tekashi. Is he saying that the reason why he started doing for this guy was because he came and said I had hearing loss at first, Maybe he said.

[Lacey Mosley]

What started as a lighthearted relationship turned serious over the years. But when Tekashi wanted out, Seramaguchi said that he would commit suicide if he didn't continue helping him.

[Priscilla Davies]

And there it goes.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, the abuse.

[Priscilla Davies]

Abuse, yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

So in response, Sera Miguchi held a press conference of his own. And though he admitted to much of his work being written by Tekashi, he denied many of the other claims. He said that he was completely deaf in one ear, but had some hearing that was assisted by a hearing aid and that his hearing was coming back.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, my God, I think I hear something.

[Lacey Mosley]

He was like, damn, what was that? Oh, okay. See, it's coming back. It's actually. Y'all know how sometimes it be going.

[Priscilla Davies]

And coming, and now it's coming.

[Lacey Mosley]

And now it's coming.

[Priscilla Davies]

Now it's coming.

[Lacey Mosley]

I can feel it. Oh, my God, I feel it in the air tonight. Oh, Lord, that's my new song. Y'all know.

[Priscilla Davies]

Write it down.

[Lacey Mosley]

Write that down.

[Priscilla Davies]

Tekasha, get in here now. Oh, shit.

[Lacey Mosley]

They started answering questions at the interview. They were like, he can hear just a little bit, y'all. Just a little taste of it coming back. So even after public apologies were issued by all involved and the. He said he Said continued. Seramaguchi's remaining concerts were canceled, and music companies pledged to stop selling his CDs. So even after public apologies were issued by all involved, the he said. He said continued. And Saramaguchi's remaining concerts were canceled, and music companies pledged to stop slanging his cd. Damn.

[Priscilla Davies]

You kind of got to at that point. I mean. I mean.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, so the music's stolen.

[Priscilla Davies]

Is this still slapped, right? Like, just take the. Switch the names.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, I feel like that's just a credit issue. We just switch the names. We switch to where the check goes, right? And then that's it.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, I guess it's tainted now. And it's. Is it though? It's a national anthem. It's gotta have a clean bill of health. Does it?

[Lacey Mosley]

Cause ours definitely doesn't. Francisco Key was a weirdo ass racist who definitely included some slavery shit in his. His fucking freedom bop that we took out.

[Priscilla Davies]

But that's why America likes it, right?

[Lacey Mosley]

Why are they so obsessed with us? You're gonna make a whole national anthem for this country and you still gotta sprinkle in some like. And the Negroes can't be free.

[Priscilla Davies]

Don't let them out, please.

[Lacey Mosley]

Why is that in the Song of Hope?

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay? Cause that's their version of hope, right?

[Lacey Mosley]

They're like. And we keep them in chains. Okay, no, guys, literally, if you've never heard the real national anthem, Google it. See them extra lyrics that Francis put up in there.

[Priscilla Davies]

Read that second stanza.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's ass. Okay, bro, we took it out. Like, we try to erase everything. I'm like, you want us to not kneel for this? Play the whole bop.

[Priscilla Davies]

Play it backwards.

[Lacey Mosley]

We don't want the radio edit.

[Priscilla Davies]

Start from the end and go back.

[Lacey Mosley]

We want the extended version.

[Priscilla Davies]

We wanted the dirty cut, right?

[Lacey Mosley]

With all the expletives, okay? Not the radio version. Okay? And then tell us that we can't kneel for it.

[Priscilla Davies]

We want the two shortcut, okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

That's my favorite word, the N word.

[Priscilla Davies]

Slavery.

[Lacey Mosley]

But you gotta say it like short.

[Priscilla Davies]

Slavery, Slavery, slavery.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm dead. So anyway, the girls are done with him. They're throwing his CDs out at effigy. They're like, bitch, get out of here. So despite his musical career being canceled almost eight years ago, Sara Magucci has returned with new music.

[Priscilla Davies]

Destiny come. What is it with these fools? It's like old girl at the grocery store, just going from one person to the next.

[Lacey Mosley]

But he said he wrote it himself this time.

[Priscilla Davies]

Who gonna believe him? Who?

[Lacey Mosley]

He said, look, we got bangers okay. And these are definitely written by me, for sure. And it's not a lie.

[Priscilla Davies]

I don't know much about the Japanese people, but I don't take them to be fools.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, they not fucking with this nigga no more. They already done threw out his CDs. But let's see. Let's hear a little snippet of what he said. Is definitely music that he wrote.

[Priscilla Davies]

100%.

[Lacey Mosley]

100% him.

[Priscilla Davies]

This is like a particular type of.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, it's a style.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, shit. Oh, this shit getting lit.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, it's getting a little. Wait a minute. Okay, turn it off. We don't need Sam Gucci.

[Priscilla Davies]

You know what? I believe him now. I know he did this. It's so good.

[Lacey Mosley]

He definitely wrote this.

[Priscilla Davies]

He 1000% wrote that.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yo, he lowkey. Put his foot in there. It turned up. See? Maybe we should have waited for the beat to drop in Resident Evil.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah. We like to apologize as well to the Resident Evil community. In addition to.

[Lacey Mosley]

Right. We should have got past the fart sound, because then the beat was gonna drop like that. Like Hope.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, she got live.

[Lacey Mosley]

It did. It got really lit. Okay. I could see that, like in a movie.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, my God. It was really good.

[Lacey Mosley]

An epic fight scene.

[Priscilla Davies]

I just wonder if he's gonna be like, I wrote it under a new name. Sakahashi.

[Lacey Mosley]

Bro. Is this still Tekashi? Tekashi, show yourself. Don't let him do you like this. You don't have to be pushing no more lockers. You grown now. So, guys, that brings us to the saddest part of the show, the N, where I have to let for something go. But this is a special scammer of the week that's a bit longer than our normal ones. So we have a little tea here. So for scammer of the week, we're talking about the Dunda Academy.

[Priscilla Davies]

Dun, dun, dun.

[Lacey Mosley]

If you don't know what the Donda, Donda Academy is, let me put some respect on her name. Because, I mean, she made him.

[Priscilla Davies]

I know. I was gonna say, what happened in that house, girl?

[Lacey Mosley]

He was better. He was better when she was alive.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm tired of that freaking excuse.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm not saying it's cause she died. I'm just saying maybe somebody was around being like, hey, stop. And he could. He actually listened. Yeah, because it feels like now when people are like, hey, Kanye, please no. Like, please stop.

[Priscilla Davies]

He's like, go harder.

[Lacey Mosley]

He's like, do more.

[Priscilla Davies]

Go ham. I'm glad I invented that word.

[Lacey Mosley]

Imagine making an anti semitic Threat against Jewish people saying that you're gonna go DEFCON 3 on them, and then going.

[Priscilla Davies]

To bed, went to sleep, and, like, woke up like, oh, my God, my notifications are blowing. Oh, what the fuck?

[Lacey Mosley]

He was, like, time to do it now. He was on his set of reminder.

[Priscilla Davies]

Saying, DEFCON 3 was so wild. I mean, it's just, like, what?

[Lacey Mosley]

I think it's because he didn't know which one is worse. Five. One. This one on the scale.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, it's just such a choice of words.

[Lacey Mosley]

It is. And then to go to bed on that, I just feel like that's not the good night tweet. That's not the goodnight text.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, boy.

[Lacey Mosley]

He's just made some insane decisions. But we all know that he is just someone who seems to not care about other people deeply.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah. I don't know what his dealing is, but he's disappointing me more and more as the days go on, the years go on.

[Lacey Mosley]

You know what's wild is he can't disappoint me anymore. It's been a while since, like, once he did the whole slavery as a choice thing, I chose to disengage. I was like, this kinfolk is not my kinfolk. He does not represent me. I don't know him.

[Priscilla Davies]

I feel like the White Lives Matter sure is the one that got me off. It's like I had already let go of him, and then it was like, he's back in my face again, being even more fucked up. That White Lives Matter shirt shit pissed me off. And then the fact that he wore it to his kid's freaking soccer game as well. Like, what?

[Lacey Mosley]

He's a weirdo and a dummy. Like, it's weird to watch, like, these men, like, just explode.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, it's so weird. Like, this whole, like, you know, group of men, you know, I guess 40 and older. 30, late, late 30s and older. It's just, like, from 40 to, like, 60s. It's like they're just digging their graves and digging them more.

[Lacey Mosley]

And they're getting so embarrassing. Did you see the Kyrie Irving protest that they're doing down at the Brooklyn Nets Stadium?

[Priscilla Davies]

No.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's the Hebrew Israelites. And they're wearing purple and gold. Yes. And they're out there and they're like, we are kings. We are like. And they're, like, chanting.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah. I mean, that's what they do.

[Lacey Mosley]

Embarrassing.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's what they do.

[Lacey Mosley]

It is embarrassing. I was like, I just wanted to go out there in New York and be like, are you not embarrassing us?

[Priscilla Davies]

They're not. They love it.

[Lacey Mosley]

You should be, though. They're embarrassing us.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, but anyways, the embarrassment we're.

[Lacey Mosley]

Talking about today is Kanye West. In September 2022, he revealed that he opened a Christian private school named the Donda Academy after his late mother, Donda West. In an interview with ABC News. Yay. Said that he envisioned the academy to be a gospel school and hoped to give kids practical tools that they need in a world post the iPhone being created.

[Priscilla Davies]

Where is the school? Is it in Chicago?

[Lacey Mosley]

So the school was opened on the site of the defunct Simi Valley Stoneridge Preparatory School, a small property in a semi rural part of Simi Valley, California.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, okay. Really? I didn't realize it was a Christian school.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies]

And why do they look like they're in prison? This is private school.

[Lacey Mosley]

Cause it's giving jail.

[Priscilla Davies]

Because, you know, that's his uniform, the all black.

[Lacey Mosley]

Well, yeah, I know his, like, he loves to make everybody look like they staying home for the week.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like they're just gonna be in sweats at their house.

[Priscilla Davies]

But, like, why are they wearing these, like, prison uniforms?

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, it's giving prison. Also, the black is kind of sad.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, and they look sad too. Is that Kanye's back or is that just another person?

[Lacey Mosley]

I feel like his neck don't look that good.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, I was like, that don't look like that.

[Lacey Mosley]

That neck looked better than Kanye neck.

[Priscilla Davies]

That hairline is fantastic.

[Lacey Mosley]

A little too thick. And that back is looking like. Like they've been lifting up them weights. You can tell I lift weights.

[Priscilla Davies]

So. So this is a Christian school. See, I didn't know the details about that teacher.

[Lacey Mosley]

I don't think I'm looking at a child.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

I just want to make that clear. This is an adult that I was describing. Anyway, so he has a school, it's in Simi Valley, and he started it in October 2021. At the time, 21 students were enrolled in the school year, which is not enough kids for me personally. I don't want to go to a school school with 21 kids. Like, how.

[Priscilla Davies]

What about 21 Savage?

[Lacey Mosley]

Then I go to school in the UK because he's British.

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, I love now that his, like this album came out with him and the other messy hoe.

[Lacey Mosley]

Oh, such a messy hoe.

[Priscilla Davies]

Every time it comes on, I'm driving. I'm like, are we ever gonna talk about the fact that we just stopped talking about that this fucking guy is British?

[Lacey Mosley]

Do something. Yes. Show us your passport.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, that's what I want to see. I want to see the stamp. And I want to see your green card.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, we are 21 Savage Truthers.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

So 21 students. Too small for me. I'm like, everybody knows your name. What is this? Cheers. Like, I need a big school, right? So in order to register their children, parents were told that they had to sign an NDA, which is a non disclosure agreement, which is why perhaps news of the Academy has been limited. So the interesting thing is, even if you sign an NDA, our lawyer told me, the best, they don't count. And that the. The best thing you can do when you don't want your information put out there is not tell nobody your fucking information, period, period.

[Priscilla Davies]

That liberated me. Our lawyer. Shout out to our lawyer. We love her. Yes, Grace. Does she ever hear us talking, singing her praises? Okay, so she knows we're obsessed with her. Okay, fantastic. So, yeah, learning, that has liberated me because now I sign every NDA, I'll be like, okay, okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm like, for sure y'all ain't gonna say shit. Okay, no photos. Let me put my phone in the pouch. I'll be breaking that hoe out of that little pouch so quick. And I'm not even taking photos. Like, I'm not clout chasing. I'm just like, I want my phone. Like, I'm so. I'm not going to be a widow and take a picture, but if I want to send a text, bitch, so sorry, I'm not going to text about your Disney movie, right?

[Priscilla Davies]

Like, please not putting your Disney movie on Twitter.

[Lacey Mosley]

I don't care that much.

[Priscilla Davies]

So just FYI, sign all the NDAs and tell everything. Spill it.

[Lacey Mosley]

Probably just don't do it publicly, but. So the principal and executive director for the 2022, 2023 school year is Brianne Campbell, a master's student at Pepperdine University who had previously worked as an actress and choir director. So, you know, natural step, principle.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, and Brianne is a white woman. Oh, that was unexpected.

[Lacey Mosley]

I mean, is it. It's Kanye.

[Priscilla Davies]

But I just thought.

[Lacey Mosley]

Donda Academy. Black and brown children don't put away.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay, now you're. Now he's losing me even more. He's losing me.

[Lacey Mosley]

Why? And that's not to say that this white woman can't be good at her job. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying as far as, like, education goes, it's already very carceral for black and brown children, especially where you live.

[Priscilla Davies]

You got them in these jumpsuits, all.

[Lacey Mosley]

Their superiors, and usually all of their teachers are Caucasian. So you would think at a school that's targeting black and brown children that they would have black and brown leaders for once.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, Yeezy.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like, what is this? Sorry, sorry to that lady. I'm sure she's lovely.

[Priscilla Davies]

Maybe sorry to her.

[Lacey Mosley]

She says she's a singer and an actress and also a master student. Not graduate student.

[Priscilla Davies]

I said student.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. Did you miss a student? Yeah, student.

[Priscilla Davies]

I thought it said she graduated.

[Lacey Mosley]

No, she's studying.

[Priscilla Davies]

He. That's the principal.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, that's the principal.

[Priscilla Davies]

I'm glad they shut this damn shooting school down. I could have been the principal. In that case, I could have been the principal.

[Lacey Mosley]

We would have been better principals.

[Priscilla Davies]

I would have done principaling by Zoom. Because I'm not going to Simi Valley. Hell no. But.

[Lacey Mosley]

But I'd be like. And they. During, you know, parts of the pandemic, there were principaling by Zoom. We had a principal who was principaling by Zoom and he was principling at two different schools and then got in trouble.

[Priscilla Davies]

He was double timing the district.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. He was getting his lick and I was not mad at it.

[Priscilla Davies]

He made $3 million a year as a school principal.

[Lacey Mosley]

School principal. Just at every school. As a school's principals, he was principaling everybody's school. It's crazy. Our school, our principal also named Mr. Marcus.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's how we all know to say that's. That's so crazy. What a coincidence.

[Lacey Mosley]

We've never seen.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, he don't come here either. That's so weird. We never see him here either.

[Lacey Mosley]

So. The school has currently enrolled about 100 students and employs 16 teachers with a number of celebrities children in attendance. So you got some celebrity children to pull up to the school. Notably Mr. West's children do not attend the school. Kim wasn't having that.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay. That's the first sign.

[Lacey Mosley]

Kim was like, are you kidding me? Absolutely not.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's the first red flag.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yes. When your kids don't go to your.

[Priscilla Davies]

Own school that you created that you made. Okay, yeah, let's. I'm a little worried, like, your school.

[Lacey Mosley]

Ain'T good enough for your kids, but.

[Priscilla Davies]

It'S good enough for these kids. Them kids.

[Lacey Mosley]

For them kids. So the school offers a curriculum including language arts, math, science, Christianity, film, choir, and parkour. Now y'all got these people's babies jumping off buildings and shit. So do your baby want to be Tony Hawk?

[Priscilla Davies]

Imagine you send your kid to school and that fool come back with a broken collarbone. Talk about some parkour.

[Lacey Mosley]

I thought it was reading, riding and Rithmatic.

[Priscilla Davies]

Not reading, riding Rithmetic in parkour.

[Lacey Mosley]

In parkour.

[Priscilla Davies]

Parkour. Rhythm of parkour.

[Lacey Mosley]

Rhythm of parkour, bitch.

[Priscilla Davies]

What?

[Lacey Mosley]

Excuse me?

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, wait.

[Lacey Mosley]

We have a video of the choir. And I think that's just them singing.

[Priscilla Davies]

And probably being adorable children in their prison outfits.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, stop this. Please stop this. Oh my goodness. This looks like they are. He's. It's a cult.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, this is a child cult. And I'm not. Okay, I'm okay with adult cults, but not child cults.

[Lacey Mosley]

You know what I'm noticing too here is maybe, maybe the school wasn't targeted at black and brown children. Because I'm seeing actually a lot of non black people in this video.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's not a lot, but only a few white kids. Only a few, but most of them are black and brown. When the camera panned over, I saw that little boy. That little.

[Lacey Mosley]

Also I love the little black boy in the gray sweatshirt in the front here because he is not here for this shit. This woman is like, everyone say, good morning, Donda. Good morning, Donda. Good morning. And some people are doing it. He's just staring like. Like, I'm just here so I don't get fired. Like, I'm just here so I don't get trusty.

[Priscilla Davies]

I just wonder, you know, what kind you know? And we know the answer. Like, not everybody who has a child should be a parent. Right? Like, but I just wonder, like, what kind of parent would have like, really sincerely put their child in the school? For real. For real.

[Lacey Mosley]

Exactly. Like clout chasing. It's.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's borderline abusive. I'm not gonna. I don't wanna be that person. But it's like. Cause it's like it is a weird cloud. Like even this, this, this video. Good morning, Don. Like that is really weird with him, like videoing it. And like, it's super weird. It's like he has this like weird.

[Lacey Mosley]

Megalomaniac situation where he wants to be in control of other people. It's not just about making money. He needs to feel like he can make people do what he wants them to do. And now he's gotten at least 21 idiot ass parents to give their children to him to mold their mind.

[Priscilla Davies]

Isn't it 100 now? 100?

[Lacey Mosley]

Well, yeah, it went up from 21 to 100. So that's 100 fucking people who are dominant. Like, honestly, somebody should be over at all all Yalls houses doing an evaluation.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, deadass, deadass. Because sometimes like you're the same people who like let their kids sleep in beds with celebrities, you know what I mean? The same people will be letting their kids go in hotel rooms with, you know, famous directors and shit like that.

[Lacey Mosley]

Cause y'all cloud chasing with your kids. And I know parents like that. And there's nothing more upsetting to me than seeing parents cloud chase with their fucking children.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's dangerous and it's really. And I feel for those kids. Cause they're just, you know, they're palms in a fucked up game.

[Lacey Mosley]

And what are you gonn. Legally, they own them. Like, well, you can't. You can't really intervene.

[Priscilla Davies]

I don't think you own children.

[Lacey Mosley]

I'm just saying their parents like, legally, you know, that's every night.

[Priscilla Davies]

Only black parents on their children.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay. Is it just us?

[Priscilla Davies]

It's just us. Oh, okay. I thought everybody felt like, no, okay, cool, cool.

[Lacey Mosley]

I didn't know that.

[Priscilla Davies]

I know that I brought you in this world and I own you so I could text you out.

[Lacey Mosley]

And they love that phrase and they all use it. Guys, it's toxic. You're telling me you're gonna murder me.

[Priscilla Davies]

Also, please take me out. I hate it here.

[Lacey Mosley]

I never asked to be born. Kill me. So this is just wild. These are irresponsible parents. So the school has not sought accreditation by the Western association of Schools and Colleges.

[Priscilla Davies]

It's not accredited. I'm done here. Turn this shit off.

[Lacey Mosley]

They not even looking for accreditation.

[Priscilla Davies]

How you gonna send your accreditation?

[Lacey Mosley]

Who is that? We don't know her. Is she trying to enroll?

[Priscilla Davies]

Mis accred accreditation. Never met her accreditation.

[Lacey Mosley]

West.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

No. Bring her on in.

[Priscilla Davies]

So this is definitely against the law, right? Because children are supposed to go to accredited schools and they're supposed to go to schools also. Yeah. So this doesn't mean the truancy law.

[Lacey Mosley]

Doesn'T account for like accreditation.

[Priscilla Davies]

I get it there. This is a truancy school. That's why they're dressed like that. It's just like a double. Two words in one stone.

[Lacey Mosley]

No. So one of the foremost accreditation organizations for California and Hawaii is the Western association of Schools and Colleges. They haven't gotten no accreditation. Tuition is approximately $15,000 a year.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's not so bad.

[Lacey Mosley]

That's not so bad for a private school, but also for what those uniforms were giving.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay, it was giving. Cause it looks like you got them in the bottom of the gym locker room.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, it was giving bread and water. It was giving. We're in prison. Like, even the facilities themselves didn't look like what I would imagine. A private school that you're paying for looks like. Yeah, it's supposed to look like almost like a college. Like. And they look like they're in a compound in the woods, right?

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, a mess.

[Lacey Mosley]

So students are also required to wear uniforms made by Balenciaga and the rappers brand. Easy. So that's what we were talking about with their little prison uniforms that they're wearing. They're wearing all black. And it definitely looks like he knew it was.

[Priscilla Davies]

But it's just so, it's just so his style of being. Like, isn't it ironic? They look like they're like dirty and dingy kids, but it's Balenciaga, you know what I mean? And it's easy. He always tries to be so, you know, contradict, contrarian, you know what I mean? Like dog.

[Lacey Mosley]

Well, he's talked about how like he doesn't wear jewelry because billionaires don't wear jewelry. Like they don't have their wealth on their body. And it's like, bitch, we're all gonna fucking die. Stop being a weirdo. And half the time you see any of those rich ass tech dudes, they're wearing expensive as fuck clothes. You just don't know the label because it's not on the outside.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

They're wearing $2,500 white T shirts, bro.

[Priscilla Davies]

Okay?

[Lacey Mosley]

People like what they like. And even if you're not into clothes, being into clothes doesn't make you stupid and not as smart as someone else who's into boats. Like, no one needs a boat for real, for real either.

[Priscilla Davies]

You know, I mean I could.

[Lacey Mosley]

I want one and I'm gonna have it.

[Priscilla Davies]

I need one. But I need to be on the.

[Lacey Mosley]

But like everything that we do is a dalliance because at the end of the day, if it's not like eating and breathing air, like why do we do anything?

[Priscilla Davies]

We're here to have fun. That's really what the hell we're here to have. And these white men convinced us otherwise.

[Lacey Mosley]

They did. They told us we wasn't here for. They said we supposed to be here to walk.

[Priscilla Davies]

We used his to work.

[Lacey Mosley]

We not here for no fun. So its website is brief and features only two of its apparently new numerous rules. Donda Rule 58, which is writing should be regarded as an activity that necessitates critical thinking, an aspect that is fundamental to all good writing. And Donda Rule 51, students must be confident in forming ideas. If not, their writing will suffer. What? These are the most vague ass rules. Are you Uncle Clifford? Kanye. How are we doing? Rule 51 and 58. What's number one one.

[Priscilla Davies]

Let's start with 1, 2, 3.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like I feel like we should have just started like a little bit earlier.

[Priscilla Davies]

Also those kids look like his children.

[Lacey Mosley]

Those two look his children, which we were told don't go there. So why he got north.

[Priscilla Davies]

In the photo it looked like north. But that's just her cousin.

[Lacey Mosley]

Maybe it's just our cousin.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's not her.

[Lacey Mosley]

Probably a lot of light skinned children there who are mixed race.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

They don't. Those aren't.

[Priscilla Davies]

They look like dream Kardashian too.

[Lacey Mosley]

You do, but it's not.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, but.

[Lacey Mosley]

But you know, there's so many of those kinds of looking children there. So it could be anyone. But also this is interesting to me because Kanye has openly said he does not read. So I'm like, bro, how you gonna even have a school when you tell people you don't read, bro? That's like the, that's like the thing that you do in school.

[Priscilla Davies]

I feel like he's just trying to see what he can. What we're gonna let him get away with.

[Lacey Mosley]

Him get away with.

[Priscilla Davies]

And clearly it's a lot.

[Lacey Mosley]

So they move vocations. So when the school initially registered with the Department of Education, it listed as the semi Valley address. However, it appears that when the school refiled this year that it was moved to a location in Los Angeles suburbs, they had moved to school. Imagine your school goes from as far as Simi Valley to like the LA Sub la. Also school's not really supposed to be moving like that. That happened to me. I did. I had to go to school in a middle school even though I was in high school for one year because they were building our high school.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

So like, I guess schools move sometimes.

[Priscilla Davies]

But you know, actually I taught in a school in Maplewood for the East Orange school district because they had to. They were renovated. So.

[Lacey Mosley]

So it happens.

[Priscilla Davies]

It happens.

[Lacey Mosley]

So a teacher who resigned after Kanye's anti Semitic rant has positioned to the Department of Education to remove the new address from the public directory due to the increase in public attention. Yeah, because people are gonna try to pull up there and then like see what the goddamn kids doing. And we don't wanna endanger the children. It's not their fault. So in late October.

[Priscilla Davies]

That their parents are dumb.

[Lacey Mosley]

That their parents are dumb.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley]

On their fault that they were born to idiots, to fools, you know. So in late October, a source familiar with the school told Insider that the Simi Valley location was abandoned after just four months around Thanksgiving. Well, it looked like a commune. So I'm glad it looked like very sad. Since the move, people on the Internet have expressed concern about the new location after photos were released of students sitting on folding chairs in a warehouse during the school day.

[Priscilla Davies]

Why he knocking on this?

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, so these are the chairs that you get at like a wedding that's like, at like a marriage. And you know, they trying to give the girls like a good little ballroom moment, but it's still a fold out chair. That's what they have these babies sitting in.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, it's pretty depressing. I mean, in a garage and it.

[Lacey Mosley]

Looks like they're eating and it does look like they're in prison.

[Priscilla Davies]

But they wearing Balenciaga.

[Lacey Mosley]

They wear a Balenciaga though. Okay, please don't step on my Balenciaga.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh, I see they have the cell block D, the thing on the dove on the back. Okay.

[Lacey Mosley]

I mean, sail black education, right? That's what it's giving. So the next Bishop Sycamore, though. Kanye has said that he opened Donda with aspirations to create a private Christian school that developed critical thinking writing skills. Donda Academy has also been known for its basketball team. Before the school even opened, Kanye recruited two and four, five star athletes to be on the Donda Doves backed by Adidas. A teenager and student, Chuck Bailey III is one of the most sought after high school basketball players in the nation. The team was also featured on the COVID of Slam magazine wearing the highly anticipated Yeezy basketball shoes. And this is a picture of them.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's the team.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yes.

[Priscilla Davies]

Those are adults. How you got. How you got college freshmen?

[Lacey Mosley]

I definitely saw a baby who looked like five or six. And then we have grown ass men.

[Priscilla Davies]

Grown men at your school. These are adults. That dude has a full beard and a full mustache. Yeah, no, on the bottom right too.

[Lacey Mosley]

And it connects.

[Priscilla Davies]

Oh my God. I feel like we're gonna find out that these are literally adults that he recruited to pretend to be children. They're literally.

[Lacey Mosley]

It's like, it's like when Adam Sandler went back to third grade. Like, that's literally what they're doing to us right now. We know Habit Gilmore. We know what's happening. So with corporate backing and recruiting some of the most sought after teenage basketball players in the country, the school has appeared to shift its focus from offering a private Christian education to basketball. So now he just doing he being Lavar Ball. I don't know. He was just like, I don't know. We also do basketball fixing, so unfortunately, Scholastic play by play Classics of major tournament has recently announced that they have removed the Danta Academy from the tournament due directly to Kanye's comments and behavior. Now, I don't think that's fair to the kids.

[Priscilla Davies]

I don't either, because the kids ain't say nothing. They have.

[Lacey Mosley]

That's like the super superintendent of my high school said some. And then there was like, oh, none of y'all can go to the. To the dance.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, just get rid of the superintendent.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. It's like, bro, what did we do? Yeah, why are we being punished?

[Priscilla Davies]

That's.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah, that's some of the most talented adults in the country.

[Priscilla Davies]

He got D1 basketball players at his elementary school.

[Lacey Mosley]

Like, how you go rob them about.

[Priscilla Davies]

Tending to be fourth graders with mad skills.

[Lacey Mosley]

Right. With all the skills. These men are like, they look like the niggas in Space Jam.

[Priscilla Davies]

They're you grown.

[Lacey Mosley]

Grown as hell. So I feel bad for them because it's not their grown ass fault that Kanye said that shit. So the shutdown in October 27, 2022, following Kanye's stream of anti semitic remarks, parents received an email stating that the school would be closed for the rest of 2022 school year. So how you gonna give me an email talking about, hey, y'all, we actually gonna close on the school.

[Priscilla Davies]

Guess what?

[Lacey Mosley]

We know it's not supposed to close yet. Cause it's summer. Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies]

You're not gonna believe what I'm about to say. Guys, gather round.

[Lacey Mosley]

So remember when we used to do a school here?

[Priscilla Davies]

Not no more.

[Lacey Mosley]

We ain't doing that no more. Yeah, yeah, sorry about that.

[Priscilla Davies]

If you could go ahead and carry a desk on the way out.

[Lacey Mosley]

We do have to lock up by four or they will lock us out. So just y'all clean out yalls lockers. You know, they didn't even have lockers. Like clean out your.

[Priscilla Davies]

Your Balenciaga tote bags. We're taking them back as.

[Lacey Mosley]

And give us the clothes back too.

[Priscilla Davies]

We're going to pay the taxes on this.

[Lacey Mosley]

Yeah. So you're going to have to run us those back as well. So in an email sent to parents, the school's principal wrote, first, we would like to express our gratitude for the community of families and scholars that Donda Academy brought together. However, at the discretion of our founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of 2022-2023 school year, effective immediately. Thursday, October 27th, in all caps, there is no school tomorrow. Damn.

[Priscilla Davies]

They were like, you better not show up here tomorrow.

[Lacey Mosley]

But you did this on a Thursday. Like you couldn't even tell the girls. So they Got the weekend to plan to get in a new school. Like, this is the middle of the school year, and now all of these kids need to re enroll into actual schools.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, they really weren't enrolled in a school to begin with.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, well, yeah, it's not accredited, but they signed up with their name.

[Priscilla Davies]

I mean, these are just feral children just running amok.

[Lacey Mosley]

Okay, well, they put their name on a little paper or whatever, and they got a uniform, so they had to get somebody they shirt size, and they put. That's true, that's true. It was official enough for that.

[Priscilla Davies]

That's true.

[Lacey Mosley]

But no.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yes.

[Lacey Mosley]

Now they have to enroll in different schools. So in the email, no alternatives or refunds were offered.

[Priscilla Davies]

Wow.

[Lacey Mosley]

So you're getting your coins back either. Hey, we'll give me half a year of education and just say, all right, bye.

[Priscilla Davies]

Also, how are you going to be an ex billionaire and do that to me?

[Lacey Mosley]

Well, he's an ex billionaire now, so.

[Priscilla Davies]

But he's still a millionaire.

[Lacey Mosley]

But he still need to get money.

[Priscilla Davies]

I get it. I know. I'm a billionaire, too. I get it.

[Lacey Mosley]

If I ever became an evil, nasty billionaire who obviously did murders to get there, I wouldn't tell anybody, right? But it's not a goal. It's not a goal at all. This feels like a terrible choice in life. So according to some reports, parents received another email just hours later saying the school would reopen on October20. So then Kanye just said another. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. We actually gonna reopen on October 28th. So y'all just stay tuned, right, to see if y'all gonna have school, like, he acting like they getting shut down for inclement weather, okay? He's like, y'all just watch the news, okay? And we'll tell you if you have to get an education, we're gonna blow.

[Priscilla Davies]

The horn and you'll know.

[Lacey Mosley]

So it's unclear where the school currently stands. And that brings us to the end of a fantastic episode. Kanye, you know what you did. But I'm glad that at least you're not messing with the minds of poor, innocent children who have stupid parents or adults who were playing on your basketball team anymore.

[Priscilla Davies]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to the adults playing sixth graders for their shot at the NBA. Yes.

We're so focused on those details, we're missing something that's actually way more important. Breast health. It's wild. Breasts get so much attention, but they're still so ignored when it matters most. Don't know what I'm talking about? Tune in on February 9th and visit YourAttentionPlease.com that's YourAttentionPlease.com See you then.

[Priscilla Davies]

Just in and so good. Thousands of spring finds up to 70% off are at Nordstrom Rack stores now. And that means thousands of fresh reasons to rack.

[Lacey Mosley]

How did I not know Rack has Adidas? Why do we rack for the hottest deals?

[Priscilla Davies]

Save on madewell, Vince, Kate Spade, New York, Sam Edelman, Joe's and more. Great brands, great prices. That's why you rack.
