3. Historic Hoodwinks: The Milli Vanilli Saga

[17:22 – 59:00]

Introduction to Milli Vanilli

[17:22 – 18:40]

• Laci sets up the story of Milli Vanilli—the pop duo who lip-synced to someone else’s vocals and became the subject of global scandal.

How the Con Was Built

[18:55 – 26:07]

• Brief bio: German-French duo, assembled by producer Frank Farian.
• None of the vocals in their hits were actually theirs.
• Origin story: Frank Farian built hits by hiring real singers and later grafting “the look” onto frontmen.
• Priscilla notes: “It's just such a—where can… Who has God got by this?” (12:28, adapted to this later context).

On Image vs Talent in Music Industry

[22:43 – 25:51]

• Sharp critique of how the industry privileges looks and marketability over actual musicianship.
• Laci: “It's like… I heard a song and then I, like, built this monster around it.” (25:08)
• Discussion: Would a similar scandal even matter today with auto-tune and manufactured pop?

Life as Milli Vanilli & The Cracks in the Scam

[26:07 – 39:09]

• Rob Pilatus & Fab Morvan were dancers from Munich, living in poverty before being discovered.
• Farian coached them on image; kept actual singers isolated and secret.
• Commentary on 90s pop: “You had to be someone we could cut out of a magazine and stick on a wall and be so horny for, right?” (27:34)

The Unraveling: The Skipping Track Live on MTV

[42:31 – 46:26]

• Iconic moment: During a live performance, the backing vocal track skips; duo panics and flees the stage.
• Priscilla reflects on the cultural impact: “It was like a national, international story… everybody’s like, did y’all hear that?” (43:39)
• Laci contemplates what they should have done: “I think if he had stayed on stage and just been like, the track is skipping…” (45:16)

Where Responsibility Lies: Victims or Perpetrators?

[46:54 – 50:26]

• Are Milli Vanilli architects of the scam or just pawns?
• Laci: “They weren't the ones who orchestrated these scams… They were just trying to get out of a bad situation. And now they're the laughingstock.” (39:50)
• Priscilla: “They were too good for the world… one of them killed themselves. Yeah. They committed suicide because of this scandal.” (50:26)
• Open discussion about the toll of public shaming and systemic exploitation.

---

4. Cultural Reflections: Media & Meme Longevity

[53:03 - 55:28]

• How pre-social media scandals lasted much longer; references lived on in sitcoms; contrast with today’s 24-hour meme cycle.
• Priscilla: “You can still make that Milli Vanilli reference and only Gen Z won't know what's going on.” (55:10)

---

5. Scammer of the Week: “Students for Trump” Co-Founder’s Law Grift

[59:20 – 64:29]

• John Lambert, Students for Trump co-founder, posed as a lawyer and scammed $46k.
• Laci & Priscilla’s recurring joke about political grifters: “You can scam Trump supporters all you want. Like, I'm not against it.” (60:06)
• Delicate conversation: Is a scam against “bad people” still a bad scam?
• Ultimately, Lambert was himself a Trump supporter—diminishing any Robin Hood angle.

---

6. Call to Action & Social Responsibility

[66:13 – 67:08]

• Closing with pointed political commentary urging listeners (especially white allies) to do the work of changing hearts and minds among less progressive family members.
• Laci: “Please don't spend any more time posturing on Twitter or talking to your black friends about how bad the world is… get out there and spread the good gospel to your cousins, your aunties, your problematic uncles.” (66:34)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Final Thoughts

The episode humorously but thoughtfully explores the spectrum of scam artistry—from petty neighborhood cons to music industry mega-deceit and modern political grifting. Laci and Priscilla bring sharp wit and warmth, contextualizing historical and contemporary fraud with keen observations about race, media, shame, and who society holds accountable. The tragic fallout for those caught in a scam they didn’t craft (like Milli Vanilli) is juxtaposed with the knowing, even gleeful, pursuit of exposing hypocrisy elsewhere.

---

Tone: Outspoken, sarcastic, irreverent, and socially conscious—full of quick wit, occasional song, and pop culture references.

For Listeners: This episode unpacks one of music's greatest scandals, a Bronx “gold ring” hustle, and how systems—not just individuals—engineer fraud, all with incisive comedic energy.

You guys went viral with the shits. You got lit. You bought shirts. Yeah. And those shirts, pros. The proceeds went to Black Lives Matter. That's at the time where all the proceeds were going to.

[Kelly Ripa (Podcast Promo)]

Oh, wow.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Amen. Amen.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Skim off the top at all.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I didn't and I regret that. I sorely regret it. But I did not skim off of the top. So, guys, we did it. We got them legs to the poles and. And we love it. If you're in Georgia, I don't know when that runoff's happening. It's probably this week, huh?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

No, girl, I don't think so at all. I'm pretty sure runoff is like a process. Oh, okay.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Chelsea said the runoff's in January. Let me stop spreading misinformation because I told y' all to vote on the wrong day. And y' all knew what I meant. But yes, guys. So shout out to Georgia followers if y' all out there, Georgia, the whole day through, make sure y' all get out there. I'm getting sued by Ray Charles ghost. He's litigious. The ghost.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I believe it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So y', all, you know, stay woke because there's probably going to be a run out runoff and we gonna need those seats. So y' all gonna have to get out there and get that leg back to the pole.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Come on, Georgia, Keep that momentum Going for us.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Take those Georgia peaches and those legs you heard to the polls. So back to Belviv. We gonna get there.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Back to what the hell we came here to do.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We gonna get there, y'. All. This is actually into it pretty quickly. I said seven minutes ain't bad. Okay, so. So Belviv says, my name is Belviv Devoe. Okay, we said that. But still. He says, I'm a Latino who lives in the Bronx.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

He's a Latino?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yes.

BK Forever, he says, and he lives in a very Italian neighborhood. The first time someone tried to run this possible scam, and it started the same way. So he said someone pulls up and is like, do I blas espanol? And he's like, see? Unsure. Because he doesn't like to talk to strangers. And if you don't know what yetoblaz espanol means, just means to use Spanish. But also, like, there's no official language of the US. You guys should know that, right?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's a fact.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So. So the guy continues, and he says, I'll give you this jewelry for money so that we can me. Which is Belle Bibdevo. He says, I don't have money. I'm so sorry. And walks away. Which, you know what, Belle?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Smart.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You did the right thing. The guy tries to talk to him more, and he says, sorry, and he walks away. So the first time, he didn't write in because he was like, I don't know. Scam or real? It could have just been random, and I didn't fall for it. Fast forward to the pandemic in New York City in 2020. The day before the election, I believe.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Ooh, recent.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We love fresh con.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Very fresh.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

He says he rarely goes outside.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

A distancing king.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Respect.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

A duke of distance. And when we do go outside, I wear a mask. Okay, cool. That's what you should do. So he says, a different guy in a different car, Same story, same type of ring, same family guilt trip. He said this time it was a guy who asked if he speaks Spanish again. And he had a car seat in the back of the car and a woman in the back seat. A sweet, presumably with a baby. But he couldn't see the baby. So again, Belviv says, I don't have any cash. And the guy's like, but I'll give you this ring for gas money. And he's like, sorry, no cash. And he crosses the street. So he says, I guess this is a popular scam. Cause it's the same neighborhood in the Bronx. Same pickup line. The whole give you jewelry to get gas thing is the same thing. And family in the back seat, a sob story. Basically, the whole same grift. So then he did some Googles.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Nice.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We love a Google. And the San Francisco gate said, drivers beware of roadside scammers offering gold for cash. It's fake. Now I know. You know, gas is high. Is it gold ring high? No.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

In parts of California. I'm keeping it real. I would.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

In San Francisco, you actually may need to give up your baguettes.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay. If you have a high school ring, a graduation one, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Listen, I used to sell those.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

What?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I worked for redacted rings, company Stop. And my mom used to work there. So she got me a job on campus scam. And my job was social media coordinator. So I would post on Facebook and I post on Instagram about class rings.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It was.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I was just making money for doing nothing. And I would have to sit at the graduation table and be like, do you want a ring? And I got a ring for free. It was. Nobody has a class ring anymore. No one wears that ugly piece of jewelry.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So ugly. And I'm so grateful. I never spent any money on any. And they would try to do, like, for ladies, for the girls.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

There's a tiny one.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Little. Yeah. And it's just. They're just not.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I lost mine.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I never had one. I never ever. Because I. Even as a kid, I was like, this just seems like a bad investment. You did the right thing. I mean, back in the day when.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It, like, degrees really mattered, it was like a networking tool. Like, you had your Penn State bring on and be like, oh, Chip, I see.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So that's what it's.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

How about those Panthers? Panthers. The Penn State Panthers. It's some kind of cat. I don't know. I went to Pitt.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I know Penn State.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So this is basically another one of those tug on your heartstring scams. It's like, oh, my family's going through this. The thing that I don't understand about it in New York is like, there's like a pawn shop on every corner. Like, how you. Like, why are we going to think you can give us a real ring when you could literally go to the corner and it's going to be a liquor store, the bodega, and then a pawn shop.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And that's. And that's why this scam gets an F from me. Because first of all. First of all, you're doing this in the boogie down Bronx. Come on now. Like, niggas got sense out there. Okay? And then, like, it's just. It's just such a. I just feel like, where can.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Who.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Who has God got by this? Apparently some people have also, like, what.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Is the whole point of being like, hablas? Like, what is that supposed to bring?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Like, it's to.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It's the Bronx. Who doesn't speak Spanish? The Bronx. I feel like you gotta be like. Like, you gotta hit him with some. Something different, right?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I guess it's supposed to be like, hey, compadre, like, you know, we are the same. Help me if you help us and our people, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And our people. It's like, look, give me gas money for la raza, okay? I don't know if that adds up, bro. Seems complex, seems complicated.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I just need to know who's gotten got by this and. Did you keep the ring?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You keep the ring? I love doing that reference. It's from, hey, Marnold, you keep the money.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay, thank you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No, it was this episode where you know how they live in that building, that border house, you know?

And it was.

And then one day he, like, came across some money or something like that. And like, his bottom bitch was like, you really about to take this or whatever. And he was tempted, and then at the end, he came back and redeemed himself and he was like, you keep the money, okay?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

She was like, damn, that is the plot of Belly. I don't want anything to do with this anymore.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You Donald Trump?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yes. All right, guys, we're back, and it's time for historic hoodwinks. My favorite part of the show. This is where I will regale Priscilla with a famous hood wink, and we'll get her opinions all throughout. And we're talking about a very special one today, guys.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We're talking about Millie Vanilly Kat.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

What's their song? Come on, give it to me.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I don't know what their song is.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It's a girl.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You know it's true. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Okay, I don't know it. Girl wasn't born when they were famous.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Well, I was, and I'm proud of that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh, God. So Milli Vanilli was a German French R and B duo from Munich. The group was founded by Frank Farian and consisted of Fab Morvoron and Ra Pilatus. They became one of the most popular acts in the late 18.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

In the 1800s, since the late 80s in the turn of the century, with.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Millions of records sold and won. They won a Grammy for best New Artists in 1990. However, their success turned to infamy when it was discovered that they did not sing any of the vocals to their music releases. Their music releases. Why did my voice go full like their music? Their music releases? I am an anchor low key. I am. Y' all see me on the con on abc Scam. I went to be an expert.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That was the biggest scam of it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

All, truly, of 2020. That's my biggest scam that I've done so far is me sitting in this, like, chair and being a tossing head, experiencing.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You should be fucking proud of yourself.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It's a crime. So the making of Milli Vanilli I I1 I have to say, I don't know if this would have been such a huge scandal if it happened now because it's like with auto tune and how much we do to fix people's voices and change them and how you artists actually sing live at concerts and performances. Like, is it really that wild to not sing your own music?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes. Like, yes.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Are you kidding me? Think about all the singers we got singing in italics and webdings these days. You know what I mean? I go to hell and jail about your boy I go to hell and.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Jail boy no delete I do.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Where did it go?

Where did it.

Surrey.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't like this.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So head of the fly.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Skip this. Oh, damn. I got the Anti skip button on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Shout out to CD to Walkman Whisper singers. Come on, Janelle.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

AO oh, now here's my thing. I do think it would be a problem today because in the end we still expect the artist to be able to sing their actual songs.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We don't expect actors to do their own stunts.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay, that's not even equivalent at all. Like what? Like how can I wish you would go to every actor and be like, wait, you can't do a kickflip and do a backflip off of a building.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And if you can't, how am I supposed to believe you? How am I supposed to believe you? Did Vin Diesel flip them cars and automatic parks?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm sure he didn't. I'm sure he.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Is he really even bald? I can't trust anything. I can't trust anything.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

The only person who doesn't own stumps is Tom Cruise. And that's cause he's crazy. That's cause he hasn't felt anything on the inside since the early 80s.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

He was like, no, I'll jump under the car. Like, Tom, it's not even gonna be in the movie. Like we don't own that car.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Let's just get it in case.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

He'S like, that's just a pedestrian driving a car. Like, we shouldn't do this.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Dude. I definitely think that's like, no, you can. No, you would still get dragged by the media if you. Okay, remember when Jessica Simpson's little sister. She got caught. She got caught lip syncing.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh yeah, that's.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

She got dragged. However it was still.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

She got dragged for that jig though.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah. It was like on a Monday.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm sitting on a twist on a one side.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

How do I again?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

How do I skip slip? I love that song. And the fun rings. And I hear you in the darkness There's a Claire of ya so come to rest in.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I hate it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I know everyone's so angry right now. I'm gonna stop. But it's hard. It's hard.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I just, I.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It would be.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

In my opinion, it would be a scandal even to this.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay, maybe, maybe you're right. I think.

Okay.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

T Pain could sing underneath that. That.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh yes he can.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

He was like, I wish he would talk about my voice. And to go to the masked singer.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I don't know what he says.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

In Wisconsin. He rhymed. Wisconsin.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Wiscanson.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

What was it? He rhymed.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm gonna take you to a mansion somewhere in Wisconsin. And it was beautiful. It was truly, truly a moment of artistry. It's just Shakespeare. Frank Farian, a German record producer, was in a disco in his native country when he heard the song Girl youl Know It's True by the Baltimore band Numerous and immediately knew it could be a bigger thing.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

What'd I say? Girl, you know it's true.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You said that. So he started recruiting singers in 1988. Singers Linda and Jody Rocco sang back up and Charles Schar rapped on the track. Okay, so this is because he decided that he was gonna assemble a team to recreate the version of that song, taking the original hip hop track and mixing it with a little bit of Euro dance.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I mean, what a dumb move. Like.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I mean, the song was a hit. The one that you heard was the remix.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's true.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Is Frank Fairy in the original Diddy.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I mean, here's my thing. And this is, I think why this was probably doomed from the start. The goal was. I see, I. I didn't know that they were put together for a song. I thought they were put together as a. As an actual group.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Well, so this is just the song. So this is where it started. So this is Farion being like, oh, I like this song a lot. I'm gonna steal it. I'm gonna hit it with the remix. I'm gon it some flavor.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

But then he found people to sing the song, right? Or he just.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Well, he found real singers to sing the song. He started recruiting singers in 1988. Singers Linda and Jody Rocco sang backup and Charles Shaw wrapped on the track. When he played the record for me, I already knew the song, said Shaw. He told Billboard magazine this. He said I had been dancing to the Numaru version on the weekends in an American club in Hamburg. Fan played it and I said, this song ain't new.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And exactly. That's exactly how he said it in 1990. Let's continue.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

This song ain't new, homes.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Hey, this song ain't new.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And then I said to Belle, that's how people talk in the 90s, right?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Absolutely.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Faring admitted that the song wasn't new, but he still went with it and started mixing the voices. You can't really hear the vocals or exactly who's singing because there are so many voices on the chorus, he said. Eventually, Brad Harrell and John Davis were brought in for vocals. His version of the song quickly became popular in now he just needed faces to go along with the music group.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's what I mean.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

He. It's like it's empty.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It's not real art.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I don't know A lot of music is made for mass consumption. And some of it's good. It's not all bad. If it.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

If it happened the other way around. If it was like, I put together this amazing band and they came. But it's like I heard a song and then I, like, built this monster around it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But think about producers and writers. Like, they're writing music and song for, like, whatever model is hot right now.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

True.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Like, there's some people can really sing down. Like, I think Ariana Grande can sing. I don't think she's, like, drawing very hard, but she can sing. But people make music for her all the. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, there's very few. Ariana Grande. It's mostly just, like, models now who can carry a tune.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Look at the R B scene. There's a lot of very beautiful models here.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

R and B is dead.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Smoking a weed My man stole my money from my purse the latest again.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

How do I skip? I hate this song. Yeah, I. Yes, yes, you're right. Well, yeah, you're right.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So he was like, okay. Gotta find some faces to go with these voices. So this is discovering Pilatus and Morvan. At the time, Pilatus and Morvan were dancers living in a housing project in Munich. They were pretty poor and were often stealing food to survive.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, wow.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Farian came along and offered each of them $4,000 to become the faces of the duo.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's a lot in the 90s, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

4,000. You can definitely move out the projects.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

For sure.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

For sure. So he named the duo after the nickname of his girlfriend. So his girlfriend was named, like. Nickname was Milli Vanilli. And he was like, that's what I'm gonna call y'.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

All. I thought it had something to do with vanilla, but that's fine.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Maybe the girlfriend's name was Millie or Mildred. Nick called her.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I mean, look, I. With it. It's still a great name.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Farion wasn't new to the game. He had done the same thing with his 1970s disco funk group, Bony M. Well, that's not a great name with a singer who was actually just a dancer.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

By the way, M is short for Mil.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Bony Millie. All he's got is Millie. And he's just been making it work. He's like, Milli Vanilli. Bony Milli. So he did. Again, this was with someone who was also just a dancer who was lip syncing to Farion's own vocals. He was able to hang on to that secret for 25 years, according Shaw.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Wait, Farian was a singer too? This is really what this was all about. He was trying to get his vocals on the track. I need a picture of this guy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh, so, yeah, can we Google a photo of him? Because I wonder if he's. He. He can't be hot, maybe.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's exactly. Because back in the 90s, like, it was.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You had to be like, I forget who wrote this tweet, but they're like, remember in the 90s when we had all the posters of, like, the hot singers and actors on our walls, like we were trying to solve a horny murder? And I was like, yes. Like, you had to be someone we could cut out of a magazine and stick on a wall and be so horny for, right? So Farian came back after the song hit the charts in England and said he had to have two faces for the project. I was already paid $12,000 for singing Girl.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And he said, don't you look at this nigga's face.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Wait, okay. And he said, keep your mouth shut and you can do the whole album. I'm thinking that studio work for me. This is Shaw talking. So he's already. Oh, my God.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yo, congregation, do yourself a favor and google Frank Farion and you why he went through so much work to find people to sing his damn songs. Come on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh, God. I feel. See, no, no, I feel bad because, like, we should be able to have more people. Like, what's that nigga who likes spongebob? Daniel Caesar, where, like, you sing really well, but you're, like, hideous. But he's.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

This guy's not hideous. He's just, like, an interesting looking character. That's not a positive either. But. But, I mean, he's. It's not that he's ugly.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It's just like, who needs to normalize ugly people in music?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Well, we're. We are. We've done. We're doing better than we did in the 90s.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, the 90s was like, you had to be, like, a horny superstar. Oh, gosh. So Shaw is basically saying, like, well, I kept working for him because it was a check and I needed some coins. So had Farian realized how popular the group Milli Vanilli was gonna become, he would have realized the dancer's acc have been an issue. Pilatus had a German accent and Morvon had a French accent. Well, see, I don't know because, like, I think about people like Craig David, who, like, when he sings, he was like, why were you creeping around? And, like, anyway, Talks. I am.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah. Like, I'll see you down at Piccadilly. Ace of bass. Like that. Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So I don't think that's a big deal. But Linda and Jody, the two original singers from earlier, were also brought back in for more vocals. So he was like, all right, I'm not gonna worry about the fact that they don't have accents or they do have accents. I'm gonna just bring in Linda and Jody for more vocals and Shaw's gonna come in the studio and he gonna record stuff. They said there was really no plan. We were just recording stuff real fast to get enough together for a four song EP for the American market. Pilatus and Morvine would come in and go down to the basement where the pool was and hang out for a couple of hours. They'd then, then go down to the basement, but they never sang a note or went into the studio.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Wow.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I love that they showed up for.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Appearances to record, though.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

They were like, there's plenty of footage of us going inside of the studio.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Your Honor, I like you to turn your attention to exhibit A. My clients went in the studio and.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

They came out hours later. Okay. Whether any tracks were laid down, that's.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

None of our business.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

None of our business. They showed up. I love the dedication, though, to having them come and then just like hang out somewhere. I mean, like, oh, we gotta go. Like, I can't do a German accent.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

We, ah, we have to go to. And you know, we call. You want to go to the studio?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We love to go to the studio. I love going to the studio. You swim so much into whatever.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You know, your congregation knows we speak French, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You know, moi.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I want to go. I am German again. Because German accents and French accents from the Americans perspective are very similar.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Right.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It's very easy to mix it up.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We don't do anyone justice. We're so disrespectful in this country. And I love it. So. So they're basically pretending, cosplaying to be artists. I stand. So Linda said that they were kept a distance from the guys so that they wouldn't get too close. The real singer was secretly brought in at night and he would be taken to the studio late at night, even after the other staff was gone, so that no one would. He was the true voice.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So hold up. So this guy's coming in masked singer style, like the visor over his face.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

They roll him in a filing cabinet. He's like, guys, why do I. Yeah, yeah, no, you got a record deal.

You did.

We're so excited to work with you here.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

If you could just stand behind this bush real quick and not make any noises.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We're so excited to have you at German Sony Records. Yeah. Okay, we're gonna need you to put this blanket over your head. No, it's all the rich. Michael Jackson's doing it to his kids. It's like a thing. So just put it on your head. Come inside the studio. So, yeah. Poor guy. Whoever was really singing these songs. So they were doing all this shady shit, which is very fun to me. So looking suspect as soon as the music video for Girl youl Know It's.

True was a global hit.

Milli Vanilli also had four other hit songs.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, blame it on the. How does it. Blame it on the rain.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay, I'm mixing two songs, but I know the congregationals. It's like Blame it on Lorraine. You don't remember that?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No. Why would I remember this?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Well, your parents. Well, they wouldn't be jamming to this. They'd be like, what the hell? Give my bell bib to bow.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Back then they had Girl, I'm gonna miss you, and baby, don't forget my number, which all hit number one and All Or Nothing peaked at number four. They were everywhere. So Milli Vanilli was a huge sensation. I want to wait. I don't know if we'll get sued by Frank or whoever the fuck actually owns Frank is definitely suing us. But I need to know. I truly need to know, because I've never heard a Milli Vanilli song.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Which one is this?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Girl, you know It's True.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Why they talking?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Because it was the 90s. They got. They intro every song. Here it comes. Yep. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay. Let that rock for a second. Hey.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay. Where's the song, though? This is all intro.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You know how the 90s was.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

All intro notes, song, all intro, no song. Where is the song?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It's coming, girl.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It's taking way too long to get here. Not Chelsea. Dancing in the booth.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's the rapper.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm turning this off. So that's Charles Shaw.

Wow.

That's Shaw. Oh, goodness. That's terrible. So basically, they blew the fuck up, right? Yeah, and every time. And.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Hold on. I just want to tell you, like, I was alive. They blew the. The fuck up. They were on everything, everywhere, like, they were the shit.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

What do you think contributed to their success? Are they hot?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

They're fucking hot. They're models. They were both. That's also how what we learned about them is that they were models. They're hot.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Really?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Let me see both of them.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm looking right now to see if they're hot. If I think that they're hot. Okay. They have this wild hair. One of them has very strong bone structure.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yep, yep.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I mean, they are giving the girls fashion.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And they were like a whole scene. They were a whole vibe, too.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah. Oh, and they. They were wearing the eyeliner and Millie or Vanilli, I don't know which one, but he was rocking a lot of concealer.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

He. It was like a whole. They were. Yeah. And then it's so funny because they look so much alike, but apparently they're not related.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Related at all. Okay. Wow. He got crochet braids in this. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Okay, so this is a quote from Morvan, from Milli Vanilli. He says, every time we gave an interview, the reporters would hear my French accent or Rob's German accent. And they say, no way. How could these guys have sung these songs? Well, obviously, they never heard of Craig David, right? Or. Or Adele.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Or.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

They'll be like, hello. And then she get off the record and be like, oi, oi. Why, someone go get me, go get me. Fish and chips.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Like, that cockney accent.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So they even had dialect specialists brought in, paid by the record company to try to help the situation. But fast fame didn't make it easy, so they blew up so fast that they didn't have time to, like, fix their accents, which nowadays I feel like you could have a strong French accent or German accent and still sing in an American one and nobody would be the wiser.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I have to say, I'm actually surprised that that was even an issue, because, like I said, like, Ace Bass was around this time, too, and they had, you know. You know, they had their, like, northern European accent and whatever.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh, my God. So we didn't. So basically, they said we didn't want to do any more interviews. Pilates added, the more we talk, the worse things got. Their former manager recalled the situation to Billboard saying, I remember there were some world. Some words that Fab couldn't pronounce. He had a pretty thick French, Guadalupe and accent. Oh, French, Guadalupe. And okay, so, yeah. Exits, accent sense. So on the girl, I'm gonna miss you, he couldn't say miss. And he would say miss. He would say, girl, I'm gonna miss you. Miss you, miss you. You think those. You say me.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Come on. I miss you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I miss you.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Hey, I miss you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

That's hot. That's I'm okay with it. I'm okay with that. But I guess the issue is, is, like, if you can't say me as you say it on the song, because I'm not gonna say one's right or wrong. But if you can't pronounce it the same way that you pronounce it on the song, then people are like, h, interesting. Interesting. Because you sang it like, miss you saying this right? My true question is, why do we care? I love chaos. I'm like, why do we care? Like, let Milli Vanilli keep. Like, they could dance, right?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

They could dance their asses off. And they was. When I tell you, why is that not enough? And there it is. They were gorgeous. They could dance their asses off and they didn't start no trouble. They were willing to let somebody take over their lives, force them into. Forced them into labor. They didn't agree with. And they kept. You know, they showed up every day.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I love them. I love them so much.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

They showed up to the recording studio.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And what's interesting here is, like, Milli Vanilli to took so much shit. Like, the only reason I know of Milli Vanilli is because of the joke of, like, oh, these guys who are imposters. However, they were not the ones who orchestrated these scams. They were at in the projects and like. And someone came and was like, they.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Were on in the projects, chilling on the stoop.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We are moving on up to the east side.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

East side.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We finally got the piece of the.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Journey or the French guy. Okay. Because I was gonna do the other one. I don't know.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I was trying to do French and it's terrible. But, like, they literally were just chilling and somebody was like, hey, $4,000 and you get to go to a pool every Tuesday to pretend that you're singing.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Think about, like, what I would have done it. Exactly. This is a great gig. They have to literally just show up and they're just getting paid.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Paid, Right. It's a shitty record deal. Of course, it's probably 360 where they own your whole booty hole. But they had nothing before that also. And they weren't planning to be singers.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

The company owns everything, but it never was yours to begin with.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Like, truly, you should Only sign a 360 deal if you are Milli Vanilla. Because, like, if you can't sing or contribute anything but, like, beautiful looks. I don't know, though you should still get some more coins for that because it was the face.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You could dance too.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Because think about it. Frank's face wasn't bringing in them coins.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Y' all shout out to what's his name. Let me look it up again. Frank Fairy shout out to Frank.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But he wasn't gonna bring no coins in, so. But I do feel bad for Milli Vanilli because they took the hit. They weren't either the people who made the name. They weren't the people who made the music. They were just trying to get out of a bad situation. And now they're the laughingstock. Even though they weren't the bad guys. Yeah, I don't know about Frank Ferra. What the fuck is that nigga's name?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't know anybody.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Frank Farian. I don't know him. I don't know that girl.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't even know Milli Vanilli's name. I just know Millie and Vanilla, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So I feel bad because I never knew Frank was pulling these strings. I was just laughing at Milli Vanilli robbery.

Tuesdays 8, 7 Central on ABC and.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Stream on Hulu and fraud. So on July 21, 1989, while on the club MTV tour in Bristol, Connecticut. Okay, wow. Have your life fall apart in Bristol, Connecticut. That's tragic. Like, I can't imagine a more sad place to have your life fall apart.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So I will spit on my shit everywhere. Not Bristol.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Pilates, you know Bristol. You know the girls keep it real in Bristol, Connecticut.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

B town, baby.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

B town, baby. We don't be having that. You in the hood now, baby.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Of Connecticut. Although there are some really hood parts of Connecticut.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Pus and Fab Moran, moron. Sorry, I'm y' all names. They were singing their mega hit girl, you know it's true, which we just heard, which is mostly intro, which makes sense. It makes sense to me because I'm like, okay, y' all can't sing, so we're just gonna have a lot of intro. I'm not mad at it.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

That's a lot of good math right there.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So they're singing this. When their live backtracking began to skip, it was.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And I just again, first person point of view. It was like a national international story. It was like, when this happened, everybody's like, did y' all hear that? Milli Vanilli's track started skipping? And they're not actually. It was a fucking scandal.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

The fucking BBC is like, tonight Milli Vanilli a fraud.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Now, I know you don't recognize me because my singing voice is very different.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Very different.

Okay.

I know that when I sing, I sound like 21 Savage. And I am the same person, cuz 21 Savage is British. Okay? I love the 21 Savage British. I love it so much. He like 21. It's a knife. But then he like, can I have some? Like. Like, that's why I imagine 21 Savage at home. He's like, bring me the blicky. That's what I think is happening. That's a gun. Oh, yeah. That's how the. What the kids call firearms.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

The British gun. The British kids.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No, the black ones in America, yes. I call it a blicky with the sticky and the blicky.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, well, that sense now.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So I just think this is so fascinating because they ran off stage. Do we have a clip of them, like, running off stage?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah, it was like a thing. It was. I want to. I want. I just need you guys to hear the hook.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Oh, my God. Because I never heard the hook. I'm about to. While you're doing that, I'm going to pull up this damn video of them running off of the stage when they're backing began to skip. Because I need to fucking know. I think that personally, they shouldn't have run away. Like, this is a moment where you gotta stand up like Patti LaBelle and be like, my music is skipping.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You asking way too much for. For two Negroes from the fucking projects who don't actually sing. She said, you need to. They're not performers.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But by this time, they weren't ready. I wanted to die. You know, it's good. 80,000 people good. You know, it's good mean, you know.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I couldn't repeat it 15 times.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

You got obvious.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So I stopped.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I panicked.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I ran off stage.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Wow. Used to work for mtv. Ran after me.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I didn't want to go back to stage.

[Kelly Ripa (Podcast Promo)]

I had enough.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

80,000 people waited. He said, I did not want to go back to stage. And I get it. I feel you. I don't know if this is Millie or Vanilli. Who's talking. I'm going to guess Vanilli, because he's blonde. So I'm guess I was Vanilli talking. But he said, I do not want to go back to stage. I said, no more stage. Please, please, no more stage. I'm bad at accents. That's my scam. So please, no more stage. I think if he had stayed on stage and just been like, the track is skipping.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay, Just imagine you are a black person in Germany living in the projects. Some random white dude shows up, offers you $4,000, flash forward. You don't even know what happened. It's three years later, you' on stage. You asking way too much, honey. That's too much. They're not real performers. You Gotta remember you're a performer. Like, we would know what to do.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Performing for long enough that you don't think they can develop some skills. And they were already dancers.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Were they real dancers or were they just black people who can dance?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

What is the difference?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't know.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I don't know. I don't know if there are real dancers or black people who could dance. I consider myself to be a black person who can dance.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm a black person who dance, but I am not a black person. I'm not as hippie dance choreography is a rat.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No, but I am a black person who can dance the shit out of some shit. Listen, I'm so sore right now, so I truly don't know, but I just feel like as a scam. Okay, yes, they're adjacent to the scam. Yes, they weren't the people who created it, but they are willing participants.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't think they're adjacent when you're a willing participant. That's not adjacency.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay, but they didn't make the scam up. So it's like if you throw a rock in the scam. Yeah.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You hit.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Hit them. You would hit them if you threw a rock, but they're not like the can.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Does that make sense? No, no.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It's like if you. If like, it's like a run. It's like the getaway car. And then they ask you to get in. And then you get in, like. But you didn't actually rob the bank.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, you didn't rob the bank.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

But why are you hanging out with these motherfuckers?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay? And they did keep the secret because obviously, while they're blowing up, they're not like, we're not singing the songs. Like, they're not.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

We don't sing at all.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We don't sing. Ooh.

Oh.

We don't. They don't say that. They don't sing. They don't say that. You're right, but. So that's what I'm saying is, like, at this point, this has become your career. You got women fawning over you, men fawning over you, everybody because you're hot.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

How much sex they had during those years, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Millie Avenue, just sticking it. So, like, they're getting everything. They're getting the fame. They're getting. Like, the thing is, like, yeah, it's probably a shitty 360 deal, but they're probably getting so many free perks. Hotels, cars, jewelry.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

But it's not a shitty360 when you don't do nothing.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Look, they brought the looks and the dance moves.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And in Hollywood, that's a lot.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

That's a lot. Looks are a lot. Brocw is. Is hired models, okay? Everyone on the CW is just fucking hot. And they're like, get up there and say these words that we told you to say with your perky boobs. So there's. You know what I mean? So I just feel like they should have tried to preserve the scam more. They should have stood there and been like, oh, our track is not working. MTV fix track. Like, you know, and everybody, everyone that would have been fine.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I think really what we're seeing is they couldn't do it. Just couldn't. And they were just like, we're done. I like, you know what I mean? I think it was the end of the.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Maybe they were constantly afraid that they were going to get found out.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And this is the moment scammers.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And that's what it is is that Milli Vanilli weren't. And I want to Millie Vanilly so.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

It is their fault. They weren't true scammers.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I want you guys to come on the show. I love you so much. I just want to say, Milli Vanilli, I sympathize with you guys because you aren't pure of heart scammers. You were literally chilling at your project and this man, this really strange looking man came up and offers you $4,000. It's not your fault. You're not scammers because if you were scammers, you would have rode this bitch to the wheels fell off. The fact that y' all were so nervous because they were like, that's I accents. That's accents. You're already nervous about the accent. Then finally the music skips and you run off stage like these ran off stage like they were Usain Bolt. They were like, and we're out.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

They were too good for the world. I. And that. That is the sad part of this story is that one of them killed themselves. Yeah. They committed suicide because of this scandal. Yeah. You didn't know that?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No. He died of an overdose.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Well, maybe it was an over overdose. Well, the story. The story I heard was that he killed himself.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah. It says Pilates was found dead at 33 in Frankwood on April 2, 1998 of a suspected overdose. And they got famous in the 90s. So.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah. And it was because it was like.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Right after all this.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah. It was really sad. And when you now like talking about this and understanding the breakdown of it's like, oh, they. Because I had always understood it to be. Be that this was their idea, that they had. Whatever. I didn't know that they were. Basically, they were pimped out by this.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Frank guy, which makes it extra. And I never knew that either. So, guys, share this with your friends, because I truly didn't know that Millie Vanilli wasn't the orchestrators of. You know, because there's so many Milli Vanilla jokes. Every early 2000s, late 90s sitcom was, like, Milli Vanilla. Tongue in cheek. Wink.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Also, there was a lot of weird.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Denzel references in the early 2000s, because I guess Denzel was like the Michael B. Jordan of that time. Oh, my God. And there were so many television. Well, don't come over unless you didn't sell Washington, because I want him to fuck me.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

They didn't say that on network, but you get the idea that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And Morgan Freeman Half and Half has a ton of references about. I'm rewatching Half and Half on Netflix. They have a ton of references that are like, oh, well, if. If it's Morgan Freeman, let me know. I'll come over and rub on him. I was like, he's the voice of God. Like, what are we doing?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Okay, that's weird.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

It's weird. But so back to this really sad thing. Chelsea just informed us that he had had, like, addiction issues. His death was formally ruled an accident. Yeah, but obviously we don't know. We weren't there. And Priscilla. But I do want to say, like, you know, addiction is nothing to joke about. Suicide is nothing to joke about. I. There's something I could hope that would make this more positive. However, I'm just like, damn. Like, I wish that we had all known that this Frank guy was, like, the sick fuck who is, like, really controlling this because this was his second attempt. Like, guys, Milli Vanilli was just the one that hit. He's been going to projects and being like, here's $4,000 and I will fucking make your face a star. And you can just hang out in the pool while we record the album. So, like, he's done this before, but this is the one that hit, so. And I know that we were all so mean. And here's the thing, too, is, like, pre Trump.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Pre.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

That raggedy bitch 45. And honestly, like, pre. Like, the social media age, news was news for a long time. So right now, if Milli Vanilli came out and they couldn't saying, we probably talk about that for, like, 16 hours on Twitter. If that. If the memes are slapping.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

So yeah, Al Gore's Internet wasn't popping.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Like that at the time. And so everything, word of mouth and everything in the news lasted so much longer. It was like dinner party conversation and conversation on the news and jokes and television shows. Like things lasted longer because it wasn't like the raggedy orange bitch in office who literally had crack rocks flying out his nose. And that was news for two hours. God, this whole Melania turned into the Grinch and was like the Christmas the kids. That was News for literally 30 minutes. Meanwhile, when Obama wore a tan suit, we was talking about that for two weeks.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

My Lord, he looked good, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Or when I just saw this on Twitter and I missed this the first time around. But Brock Mama apparently called Kamala Harris fine. She was the best looking woman in the Senate or like the best woman, best looking attorney general.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Where. When was this?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

This is a few years back.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And they would have been a cute couple, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

That was too much, too, too much light skin energy.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Right? But they would have been a cute couple.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But he said this and, and everybody was like, that must have been lit because it was completely unprompted.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Barry, Barry.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Barry got shit for it. But he talked about at the correspondence that he joked about it. So it was like, you know, Michelle was chilling. It was, everybody was, was laughing. But it's funny though, because like I truly didn't even know. But like those things used to last longer in the news cycle. And so if you're thinking about that as someone who's under duress, who's under stress, who wasn't the mastermind behind this fucked up shit and then got dragged on television, film, radio, everywhere, dragging like that would weigh on you.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Of course it would. I mean, and again, just to reiterate, it was a huge. When I you tell. It was a huge fucking story when this shit happened.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Really?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah, it was everywhere. I mean like I remember it, I remember being, you know, you know, seeing this and it was. And it again, like you said, it's in all the shows, right? Every show talks about even to this day. You can still make that Milli Vanilli reference and only Gen Z won't know what's going on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But I'm bummed for them because if they had just stayed on stage, it wouldn't have been been this controversy to.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Stop trying to save million. Can we just get that out there? I need you to stop. You're such a, like such a sleazy manager. Like why didn't you just stay on stage?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I am a Sleazy scam manager. I am. Because they ran off and that's what made them look guilty. They look like they were clearly lip singing. They rest off stage. And the chorus continued to repeat over and over again, which makes me think because, like, look, okay, it's back in the day, right? Technology, it really ain't shit, okay?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

This was only, like 30 years ago. Relax.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay? But if some shit is skipping, like, y' all couldn't unplug the. Y' all couldn't turn the song off. Like, did someone sabotage Melly Vintage? Was it Frank did. Frank was Frank. Like, oh, they got more fame than I ever could. And then he.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Did he.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yolanda Saldivar. Them.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

He's what now? Is that. What's her name? Is that Selena? Yes.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Know the woman that murdered Selena, who was the president of her fan.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, you say Yolanda. Oh, Yolanda.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yolanda Sal.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Oh, I know the up.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yolanda and Yolanda Salvar. She's still in jail, I think. So.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Is she in jail for this?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, she been in jail. Jail and her. You know, I honestly, like, feel bad for the actress who played Yolanda Salivar in the selena movie with JLo, because whenever I think of Yolanda Salivar, I think of that woman's face.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Poor lady. She.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I don't think of the real Yolanda.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Hopefully. She had heavy makeup on, so she looks totally different in my life.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No, she's very recognizable. And I feel super bad for her because I'm like, anytime I think of Yolanda Saldivar, I think of that bitch. And I'm calling her a bitch. She's just an actress.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

She's a bitch and an actress. Oh, she's still alive.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

She's 60 years old.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yolanda.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Mm.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Fuck that hoe.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Fuck that hoe. Fuck Yolanda and Donald Trump, both of them. Fuck both of them. So, man, I really feel for them. So eventually it was exposed that they had never even sung on their six time platinum album to begin with. Never. Not a note. Not a tune.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And that was the other thing, is that they had. They won Grammys. Like, it was like y' all were fucked. From, like, can you imagine?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

C, D, C, D, E, D, W.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

G, H. Talk about a fucking whirlwind.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Not a note. And you.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Can you imagine that whirlwind? And you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

How do you repo a Grammy? This John Legend show up to your house and he's like, all of you, you, grammar. SC with me. There's been so much singing on this episode. I'm so sorry, guys. It's all for me too. I'm apologizing a little bit, but I won't stop.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

And I'm like, I definitely sang as well in addition to you did.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

But, like, I feel like more necessary than my singing, which was like, I just feel like singing today. Damn, I feel so bad. So they were exposed guys in November of 1990 as complete frauds. Their Grammy was repoed. Their Grammy snatched it right off their necks. And unfortunately, their careers were never able to bounce back, which makes sense because they never really had careers. It's hard to bounce back from, like, something you never had. They went. They went back into the studio where they swam in the pool, but, you know, they just couldn't make any more music.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

No, they weren't allowed in that pool anymore. Frank was like, the fuck out of here.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I think Frank is behind this. I'm gonna put a conspiracy theory out that Frank was the person who sabotaged Milli Vanilli.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I support it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I think he was hating on them. They got too big. He wasn't ready for that. And he sabotaged them.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I believe it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I feel like Frank came in and was like, millie Vanilli, let's hang out. And they're like, Flank was not want to hang with you. We have. The group is here. We want to be with Z. And he was like, these. I found them at the projects and.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I gave them $4,000 back to the projects for you. Oh, you know, they're horrible people.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So scammer of the week. This is. This is perfect. Students for Trump co founder pleads guilty to scamming business out of $46,000.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Donald Trump.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Hey. Donald Trump. Hey. What the shoulders. Donald Trump.

Hey.

Hit the dance. Donald Trump.

Ow.

So John Lambert, the co founder of Students for John Trump, pleaded guilty to scamming consumers and businesses out of $46,000 by posing as a lawyer online and dispensing legal advice. We love a litigious lying king. Yeah, you can scam Trump supporters all you want. Like, I'm. I'm not against it.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm for it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm like, should I make some recount merch for Trump supporters?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Right? Like, how can you turn leg into a Trump supporting.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Leg has gone full leg.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Trump 2020. Trump leg. I don't know.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Kick Joe Biden out with the leg. I don't know. I just want to make money. So 23 year old Lambert went by Eric Pope, which already.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I don't trust a nigga named Pope. You know who else is named Pope? Olivia? We don't fuck She a shady bitch, too.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Listen, we left. We stand. This is Olivia Pope's stand account. Okay, okay.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

But she got some dirt on her hands.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I know she did. She was fucking the Republican. Republican president. Wasn't that supposed to be based off con? Lisa Rice? Let me stop talking before I get sued. But Eric Pope, I love that he was like, watching Scandal. He's like, what do I call myself? Olivia Pope. Olive Pope. Oliver Pope.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm so close. I can feel it. Let's go.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Eric Pope. So he pretended to be a New York based attorney at a law firm called Pope and Done that.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Done. Got you, though.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Done. Sounds like some work at the Law, Dun and D. Done. Done and done. So the justice department basically said this. He pleaded guilty in a New York federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Are you an attorney? Judge Valerie Capron asked the Tennessee native in court. The New York Post reported no, your honor. Lambert said, that's crazy. He said, look, he said, I'm not an attorney. I just said that I worked at Pope and Done.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yes, my last name is Pope.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

We can do.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I am the Pope of Davies and Mosley.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Like, look, we work for Davies and Mosley. We never said we were lawyers. Did I have Esquire on my email signature? Yeah, but it all means just law.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Just cuz my card, My business card says I'm a lawyer. Doesn't mean I really am. Please, come on, come on. Now back up, your honor.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So Lambert founded Students for Trump during the 2016 presidential election. He ran this scheme from August 2016 to April 2018. 2018. And made several appearances on news shows. Prosecutors said he created a fake website and claimed to have 15 years of experience in corporate patent law.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I'm just gonna go ahead and say you don't have to be an expert to be on. On a new show. And I think Lacy Scam goddess Mosley is proof positive.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, guys don't trust experts on new shows because I'm one of them.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I just.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, you should not trust that.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Like, got you rethinking your whole life, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

I'm gonna just tell y' all point blank, as an expert on a new show, 2020 on ABC, like, retweets, like videos of me, like, talking about scams, and I'm like, bro, yeah, don't trust none of that. Nope. So. And I'm also very fascinated by that because I'm like, y' all go come over here and listen to y' all about to get some expert information. Look, we. I told y' all I will tell y' all when I'm making stuff up. We do. Sherlyn Vera does research our facts. They are factual and actual. However, I do add non goya adobo to them.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

I just want to say anytime someone rhymes their defense, factual and actual. Cuz if the glove don't fit, you must acquit.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, you should know they lying if you got a rhyme, if you got to hit niggas with razzle dazzle for the truth, don't razzle, they are lying. We're doing some rhymes for some razzle dazzle. If you gotta throw razzle dazzle in.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

You lying don't make it rhyme. That's all that matters.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

So they also alleged that Lambert pretended to be a graduate of NYU's law school, which, you know, another scam. But, yeah, no, seriously, like, I don't know how I feel about the scam because I'm just like, yeah, scam Trump supporters seems fair. Seems only right.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Here's what. Okay, so here's my thing about the scam. Again, I'm with you. I don't know how to feel. And the only reason why I don't know how to feel is because I'm like, was this guy scamming Trump supporters? But he also was a Trump supporter. You understand what I'm saying? Was he just scamming his fellow people? Because that is very Trumpian, you know what I'm saying?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Right?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Or was he really on our side and. And scamming Trumpers as a lefty, as a radical, as a progressive, whatever you want to call us in 2020. That's the question. If he was a Trump supporter, then fuck him. But if he wasn't, then I'm going to put some money on his books because he's in jail, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

No, we don't know if he's in jail. Let's figure out if he's in jail right now. I'm about to find out that we did get some information on this Lambert character, and unfortunately, he is a Trump supporter. He actually did have involvement in a student organization that was supporting Trump. He just decided to lie and say that he was a lawyer and scam $46,000 from people. So I'm disappointed in you.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Yeah, John, now I'm mad at you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Now, honestly, I think if you hadn't been a Trump supporter, you probably would have made more. More money. Just saying, like, if you had been scamming this from a better place in your heart.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Because when you scam, it has to come from the altruistic Part of your heart.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Okay. At least if you're scamming degenerates, it has to, like. Yeah, and look, I get it. Like, nobody wants to be called a degenerate for voting for Donald Trump. Honestly, I'd say if you voted for Trump the first time around and you were like, oh, a Republican. Okay, he's kind of fucked up. But, you know, a lot of Republicans are. And Democrats, let's be honest, I'll let you rock with that. But after four years of this raggedy bitch, a whole pandemic, and all the raggedy ass shit he's done, and you still voted for him.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Not only did you still vote for him, but you were like, let's vote in higher percentages.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Yeah, okay, white women, before I go, y' all went from 53% to 55.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

How dare you?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

What happened?

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

We went to filth and you did this.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And the Karen wigs were sold out. I think the Karens assembled. They said, you're going to call us Karen's old.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Going to show you what a Karen really assembled.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

Like a fudgeing Power Rangers. Like, they were like, it's Morphin Time. And they all put on their spiky wigs with the bangs, swooped to the right, and they voted against all their self interests. Guys, please talk to your family members. You can't. If you're a liberal and you enjoy this show, especially because, you know I'm a black black woman, you have to talk to your family. Please don't spend any more time posturing on Twitter or talking to your black friends about how bad the world is. We know, but if you're and ally.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

The work is just beginning. Yes, we have won this battle, but this is a fucking war. And the war is for the conscience of this nation, and we have never gotten it right.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And don't think that black people are doing this work, too. You think I don't have cousins who believe ti when he said that if you drink boiling hot water, the virus will get burnt out of your throat and you won't get coronavirus. I absolutely do have to talk to those people. I have hotep uncles and aunties who think that milk will stop you from getting your period. And guess what? I get on Facebook and I'm like, hey, uncle so and so. That's not true. I know. T, I told you to invest in Bitcoin and also that you could sanitize your throat for coronavirus. But he lied. I have to do that. So. So do you.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

We are. We are all doing the work. It's hard, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]

And you got to come from a non pretentious place. You got to come from a like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I also love Louis Farrakhan.

[Priscilla Davies (Guest Comedian/Writer)]

Anyway, honestly, he's woke as minus all.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess - Host)]
