Scam, Robbery and fraud. Scam ca. Robbery and Fraud. Scam Goddess. What's poppin, Congregation? It's your girl, Lacey Mosley, AKA Scam Goddess, back with another installment of the podcast, all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice of what is going on with my voice. Do we like it? I don't know what's happening. I started being like, you know, it is. One of my engineers, Rich was playing some Sade right before this. So I was just listening like, you gave me the kiss, and I'm like, I just took it on. Kiss of lie. Scam of lie. Yeah. What do y' all think? Okay, so, y', all, today we have, you know, I'm already. What? Yes. Very excited. Today we have a guest that I've known for many, many years, and I will never tell you how many, but he is a ucb, darling. You might recognize him from Bosch legacy. What, the elf? And St. Denis Medical. Okay. We got some medical dramas. He can be seen performing improv with Fuck. This month, Menudo comedy and in herald teams at ucb. And if you are a UCB cultist, like I am myself, then you already know the vibe. I even went to improv 401 in the cult together back in the day. Okay, Congregation, please welcome Eli Gonzalez to the show. Hi. Oh, my God.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, my God. Lacey, this has been a in the making.
Lacey Mosley
Don't say that.
Eli Gonzalez
I had to. No, I had to give up our spot. Okay, bleep out the number. But it was. But it's insane.
Lacey Mosley
I remember I was a baby in the number. You said I was an infant. Can I tell you, that's when I started improv. It's like I Would be. Remember, I would take Similac breaks. Uh.
Eli Gonzalez
What the hell is that?
Lacey Mosley
It's baby. Baby juice food. Oh. To keep hydrated. I gotta tell you, we have a child list on the show.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah. No children in my life. I gotta say, though, I remember like, day one being like, oh, that's what a star is. I was like, in Hollywood and I was like, people talk about the it factor, what it means to be, like, why people get discovered. I step into the class, see you do a scene, and I'm like, oh, there it is.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, thank you.
Eli Gonzalez
That's what it is.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, thank you.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Okay. That was also 401 though. So at that point I had figured out make em Ups. Cause when I tell you, I took my first two classes in New York, and the first one was one on one. If you don't know what this is. Okay, y', all. So we in this cult. It's a nice cult. Okay. There's no. Like, the four leaders of our cult are wonderful. Like the founders. I don't talk about the founder. Founder. But, but, but, yeah. So you take these classes and you advance once you pass them. But it's all improv. So it's all make em up. So someone's grading you on how good you can make em up.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, exactly.
Lacey Mosley
101 was like, let's get our. There's a grandma in here. She retired.
Eli Gonzalez
You're a firefighter that used to be a policeman. How does that affect your job now?
Lacey Mosley
Right? And then also just like, you have the fun little, like, aunties and grannies who are like, this is something sad to tell my knitting group. And then you have people who are like, oh, I want to be famous.
Eli Gonzalez
Exactly, exactly.
Lacey Mosley
And then you have some people who are just like, I don't know, I need friends. Do y' all want to hang out? I take this class, we become besties. I just moved here from Montana.
Eli Gonzalez
It's so crazy how all these personalities take these improv classes, wanting something different. It doesn't quite fit. I mean, like, obviously we're more Hollywood people. We wanted to make it into the business. This is why we did it for. But I do remember these people just doing it for fun. And I'm like, why are you playing in my career?
Lacey Mosley
Right? I am here because I need to eat food.
Eli Gonzalez
This is serious. Yeah. This is gonna get me wma. This is gonna get me.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, right? I'm like, I saw Wayne Brady and they gave him money.
Eli Gonzalez
Drew Carey used to make Wayne Brady do the craziest shit.
Lacey Mosley
And they gave him money for it.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah.
Lacey Mosley
So that's what I'm trying to get.
Eli Gonzalez
That's where I'm gonna be.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, but you're right, it was like some people having fun and we played.
Eli Gonzalez
This is not fun. This is not. Hahah.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. There was a girl I met and this. I love scams so much. I met this girl in a UCB class. I'm gonna get back to what I was saying in two seconds, y'. All. You know how I can go on a tangent and bring it back around? Bring it around town, SpongeBob. So this girl, she told me that she pays her rent by like playing her guitar on the train. I said, girl, now how you doing that? Cause every time I walk in there, the girls ain't even got no cords in their little guitar strap cases. And she was like, oh, the trick is like you put in a dollar bill, a five dollar bill, some change. That's how you start out the guitar. Because if you don't have any money in the guitar, when people walk by, they're like, oh, you ain't got no money. I'm not gonna contribute, I'm not gonna do it. If you got too much money, they like, oh, you popping. You don't even need.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, you don't need my coin. You don't need my coin.
Lacey Mosley
But if you got just enough, they're like, oh, this is so Sad. You have $7.42.
Eli Gonzalez
Let me make it an even a 10, right? Yeah. And then you take off the 250. Everybody wants to make it an even 10.
Lacey Mosley
Exactly, exactly. Or you get a baller who sought a $5 bill is like, I'mma beat that.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh yeah, here's a Benjamin. I think it's so funny. Those people, they don't even have to be good. Honestly, I think the biggest scam is just buy yourself a cheapy guitar out of tune and just try to strum. Cause either people will be like, oh, that's art. Like, I don't get it because I'm stupid. So I'm gonna give you money. Or you really. Or just have to put yourself out there. You're gonna get money. You don't have to be good.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, I think you don't have to. You don't necessarily. I like what you're saying, because you can get out there and just have the spirit.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, ma'.
Lacey Mosley
Am. You know what I mean. Now some New Yorkers who are gonna try to punish you and be like, you should really not be doing this.
Eli Gonzalez
But it's not for them.
Lacey Mosley
But it's not for them. No, but the tourists who see you and they're just like, it'.
Eli Gonzalez
It's for the people coming from, like, Oslo, Norway, who's like, oh, this is a New York.
Lacey Mosley
This is art.
Eli Gonzalez
Exactly, Exactly. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. That's the thing from. That's something.
Eli Gonzalez
That's all I hear.
Lacey Mosley
It's true.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
No, but you're so right. And then I also think that there's some people who come in from, like, I don't know why I keep wanting to say Montana, but like Wyoming, and they're going to the big city and then they see you and they're like, you know, I always wanted to be a singer. I sang in the church choir and I would always get the solos, but I never thought I was good enough. And look at this girl, she's fucking terrible. I could have made it. Then they gave you a couple dollars.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, my God, that's brilliant.
Lacey Mosley
I'm gonna tell all my girlfriends, like, I made the right choice by getting married at 22 because otherwise I'd have been strumming my guitar and years.
Eli Gonzalez
Yep, 22.
Lacey Mosley
Back to the point I was making. So there was one on one that I took and that was with all the random people. And then I think after that the random people were like, that's enough for me, babes. But then 201 is where you start to get the people.
Eli Gonzalez
Like, this is my career. Yes, yes, the milit. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
And I was doing standup at the time, and I remember Terry Withers, he told me, he was like. I got up and I don't know why the fuck I thought, like, improv. I could just come in here with my jokes already pre recorded. And so they gave me a suggestion. And then I was just going into my stand up set and he stopped me mid scene and he was like, what the fuck is that? And I was like, like, Lacy, you.
Eli Gonzalez
Were supposed to be a nurse in a hospital.
Lacey Mosley
And I was like, something about self care is.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, like, okay, your patient has just gone into cardiac arrest and you're.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, my coochie is so slow. Like, what are you like? He was like, be serious. So by the time we met at 401, I was a little more serious.
Eli Gonzalez
Okay, you had already. Yes, you had under. You understood the assignment. And mama, you too.
Lacey Mosley
You're so funny. I was so excited to have you on the show because I know we can have a fun time.
Eli Gonzalez
Hello, Keke.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. But we haven't even gotten to the first question of the podcast. Lord Jesus, we are seven minutes in. I know y' all are cussing me out. Um, I always ask people, what is your relationship with scams? Do you love them? Do you hate them? Have you ever been scammed? Have you ever run any scams on your own? Past statute of limitations?
Eli Gonzalez
I absolutely love scams. And I actually came here with a little, like, saying, a Spanish saying that my family in Espanol. Yeah, you're about to be a little bilingual, mama. Okay, so the saying is in Spanish.
Lacey Mosley
Oh.
Eli Gonzalez
They who do not cheat, do not advance. So that's been like, ruminating in my mind all my life.
Lacey Mosley
Love how it rhymes. I know.
Eli Gonzalez
El que no Translucent.
Lacey Mosley
One more time.
Eli Gonzalez
El que no tranza. No avanza.
Lacey Mosley
El que no transa. No avanza.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes. Can we make it a tenet? Like. Yeah, there it is. There it is.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. Oh, wow.
Eli Gonzalez
But yes. So all my life I've had little scams. I have one main scam that sticks out, but that one was kind of like, it's a religious space. I didn't mean to do it. And then I have a little skin that I've been running all my life.
Lacey Mosley
I didn't mean to do. I want to start with the one where you were letting yourself off the hook.
Eli Gonzalez
Okay. So basically, growing up, I was Pentecostal. That's a more elevated, a little kookier religion, I'd say.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. They'd be putting the shoes in people's faces.
Eli Gonzalez
Shoes in people's faces, speaking in tongues. And I remember once my aunt got into this, like, speaking in tongues trance. Yeah. And apparently when she was speaking in tongues, God talked to her and told her that me, little like 8 year old me was a reincarnated biblical saint.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, okay. So. And this is one of her trances.
Eli Gonzalez
It was one of her trances the.
Lacey Mosley
God started gossiping about.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. He was like this little girl, this little boy. This little boy's Daniel from the Bible.
Lacey Mosley
I love, I love God being a gossip.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, oh, he is. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Like, God told me that chew. And it's like, why God didn't tell me directly.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Lacey Mosley
God gave me the cheeseman.
Eli Gonzalez
But anyway, so basically because of that, I got all, like, I was a confident little kid. So I got it into my head that, yes, I'm this prophet. I can like, interpret dreams.
Lacey Mosley
Yes.
Eli Gonzalez
So basically I just started interpreting dreams left and right. People would be like, oh, my grandmother, like, visited me and passed away. Grandmother visited me. And I'd be like, you're gay. Or like, I don't know. Like, I just started interpreting people's dreams.
Lacey Mosley
Because that's all we were. Gay.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, that's all I was.
Lacey Mosley
That's how the church makes you gay.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, exactly.
Lacey Mosley
Not the other way around. Now, wait, did we take any little coin for this or was this just like something you introduced?
Eli Gonzalez
No, I was doing it piously. I was a pious little boy. But for me, the scam is like, I'm interpreting dreams. An eight year old boy has no business interpreting people's dreams.
Lacey Mosley
I didn't know that. I saw the Sixth Sense. Oh, that's true. Yeah, kids can really tap in.
Eli Gonzalez
They're crazy. Yeah, they're crazy.
Lacey Mosley
That's why, like, when you see a baby, they're always like, oh, this baby been here before? If the baby has any, like, mannerisms that are like adult mannerisms.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, he's got a couple of like liver spots right here. It's like. That's been there before.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, no, this baby been here before. I feel like it's always when it's like a rude baby. A baby that looks at you like, bitch.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
They're like, oh, she's been here before.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. She's like. She knows how shitty people can be.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. And then. Okay, what's the scam that you have been running?
Eli Gonzalez
I've been trying traveling for free, basically, for the last 10 years.
Lacey Mosley
Okay, I need a bomb drop right there.
Eli Gonzalez
I know. So this is a little secret. It will only work for people who, like me, have been working in the service industry.
Lacey Mosley
Okay. Now it's per day.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
Before you tell it, is it like one of those things where, like, people get on TikTok and they ruin it for everybody?
Eli Gonzalez
No, I don't think there's a way that. There's no way that you.
Lacey Mosley
Because I like to gatekeep some things. I'm like, y', all, that's ruining things.
Eli Gonzalez
I don't think there's a way for this to be ruined. So basically the scam is you get a credit card that gives you points for travel, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Or gives you even a bonus, like, thing. If you're working at a restaurant and a table pays you in cash, you put that bill on your card and you pocket the cash. Oh, so the restaurant's still getting their money, but you're getting the points off of that.
Lacey Mosley
Off that transaction.
Eli Gonzalez
Exactly. So for 10 years I did that. Truly, I've racked up almost a million points.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, my God.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, ma'.
Lacey Mosley
Am. Where were you when I was waiting for you? I know, right?
Eli Gonzalez
Right. But this is for the people. This is for the next generation of black people.
Lacey Mosley
We knew each other then. Eli. You could have. You could have.
Eli Gonzalez
You were a. You were a meteor up to the stars.
Lacey Mosley
You could tell me.
Eli Gonzalez
You weren't working at restaurants back then, were you?
Lacey Mosley
When I first got to LA, yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
Really?
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. When I was at 401, I worked at. I was a sushi. I was like a sushi.
Eli Gonzalez
That's when I started the scam too.
Lacey Mosley
Wow. Wow. And we were in class. You never thought to, like, I don't know, insert it in a scam.
Eli Gonzalez
I was too afraid. I was too intimidated. I was like, this girl, she's everything. I'm nothing.
Lacey Mosley
No. And we know that is simply not tr. But that's okay. That's a really great little scam for the service workers out there.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
And you know what's funny is, like, cash transactions, obviously, that's just between the restaurant, the server, and whatever the restaurant decides to declare on the taxes, right? But car transactions typically do have, like, the credit card company is either charging the business or they're charging the consumer a little fee.
Eli Gonzalez
A little fee, A little fee.
Lacey Mosley
Just like a tiny, little, cute little fee.
Eli Gonzalez
But for how much work servers put into restaurant, I'm like, no, you deserve it. They're fine. They're fine. The restaurant's fine. They're still getting their coin, man.
Lacey Mosley
The restaurant.
Eli Gonzalez
The restaurant.
Lacey Mosley
I mean, I love the restaurant, but the restaurant, I agree.
Eli Gonzalez
I could drop down dead and be like, all right, we've got another server coming up. It's fine.
Lacey Mosley
Right?
Eli Gonzalez
We don't need you.
Lacey Mosley
And it's also one of the places where you can under pay people criminally because people are still expected to make up the difference in your wages.
Eli Gonzalez
I was a server in Oklahoma briefly. They would pay. Under minimum, they would pay you $2 an hour because they're like, your money's your tips.
Lacey Mosley
Mm. Mm. You watch Real Housewives?
Eli Gonzalez
No. God, I'm a bad guy.
Lacey Mosley
It's okay. You don't even need to know this. Okay, there's this woman named Cynthia Bailey on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her ex husband, Peter Thomas, I wanna say. And he was opening all these restaurants, and then he ended up stealing the tax, like, difference from all of his wait staff. And now he's going to jail for it.
Eli Gonzalez
Good.
Lacey Mosley
So I want you to see this. There's a photo that says Federal Bureau of Prisons, fci. So this is like, in front of the jailhouse, in front of the prison house. So this is what he says in his instagram post after he's been stealing, you know, wages. All my people told me not to post this. Okay, you did not listen to. I feel like anytime people tell you not to post, you should just listen.
Eli Gonzalez
You honestly. Come on.
Lacey Mosley
They said, I'm crazy if I do. Yeah. See, they really doubled down on me.
Eli Gonzalez
And they really were trying to.
Lacey Mosley
He says, I am not crazy in all caps. Anytime you have to yell.
Eli Gonzalez
When you have to say that. Oh, my God. When you have to say, you're not this thing, mama, you're that thing.
Lacey Mosley
But there's something about crazy, specifically that if you're yelling it, it's like. We're like, no, you are. You for sure are. You're like, I'm not crazy. It's always in some, like, horror movie or like some movie where some woman is being tricked or lied to, and she's like. They're like, ma', am, the cops come.
Eli Gonzalez
They're like, ma', am, yes, yes.
Lacey Mosley
We don't see anything that you're talking about. She's like, no, it's happening. I'm not crazy.
Eli Gonzalez
I will say what's fun is that this one is a guy. Cause it's never this one. This man.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. And he was like, I'm not crazy like you are. So he says, I'm not crazy in all caps. Just real as fuck. The first thing I must say to all new business owner. I'm just reading it as it plays, Love, please pay that withholding tax. You do not want to be in the position that I am right now in all caps. The law is the law.
Eli Gonzalez
Seems like he's learned something.
Lacey Mosley
It's not easy for us black men, especially in my industry. No bank fund, restaurant, bar, lounge. We have to put that shit on us a hundred. This is a new chapter in my life. It's called accountability and responsibility. My road to redemption. I have three black son, and I must lead by example. Also, for my four beautiful grandsons, this life ain't easy. But we resilient or no? He said, we're resilient.
Eli Gonzalez
Okay.
Lacey Mosley
And your granddaddy is a king. God bless. And by the way, I didn't just found God in my time of troubles. I was raised this way. Love, Peter Thomas.
Eli Gonzalez
I just want to say really quickly, also on a bit of a tangent, that this is why this is the kind of a post that we're going to miss when ChatGPT is writing all of our Instagram posts. That. That is human. That is human error.
Lacey Mosley
It's human error.
Eli Gonzalez
That is human comedy.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, yeah. And I don't think he meant to be funny, but it was hilarious.
Eli Gonzalez
Are you kidding? No. Intentional humor.
Lacey Mosley
And also, I love that he says that the first thing I must say to all new business owner is to follow the law, basically. Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
You think that would just be kind of inherent?
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. I feel like you didn't have to really make this post to be like, hey, y', all, follow the law.
Eli Gonzalez
Did you know that if you don't follow the law, you could be in prison?
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. It turns out that there are repercussions for not following.
Eli Gonzalez
Did you know that not paying people what they're worth is bad?
Lacey Mosley
Like when you don't pay to withhold it tax, because basically withholded tax is supposed to be paid to the government so that your employees, like, are paying taxes on their wages. So basically you're fucking over all your employees because technically they walked away paying no tax on what they made.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, why do. How do you know this? You are so smart.
Lacey Mosley
Listen, I mean, listen. I mean, that's. I gotta know the law in order to break.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, true. Yes.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, you gotta. You gotta know the rules in order to break em. Scams. What's poppin, congregation? Okay, I'm coming at y' all hot because we need to debunk some things about plan B emergency contraception right now. Listen, Plan B is not an abortion pill. It's safe, effective backup birth control you take after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy before it starts. And are y' all ready for the inside tea? It works by temporarily delaying ovulation and it will not impact your future fertility. Because some days. Who know, someday you might want a little unemployed person in your house. Follow plan B on insta at plan B, one step. Use as directed, y'. All. Sometimes it is so hard having hair. If your hair looks crazy, you look crazy. And sometimes you don't have enough time to stroke it with all the waters and the creams to get it to look beautiful. Which is why I love Batiste Light, the lightest dry shampoo from Batiste. Batiste Lite dry shampoo has lightweight, non gritty feel, and it effectively absorbs oil and grease, leaving your hair looking clean and refreshed without weighing you down. Oh, hallelujah. With an invisible finish that blends seamlessly into your hair. There's no white residue for cleaner looking, feeling hair. It's great on your hair and it's easy on your wallet, giving you a blowout look without a blowout price. I love being able to put some Batiste in my Hair. Cause y' all know I got like 50, 11 jobs, and sometimes I gotta show up and be cute, but I don't have time to, like, get this hair together. And Batiste comes in and scams my hair back into life, and it's amazing. Buy Batiste dry shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. Con. I feel like the little scheme that you got going on is that was cute.
Eli Gonzalez
Travel for free.
Lacey Mosley
Travel for free.
Eli Gonzalez
Get those.
Lacey Mosley
Okay? And that's your fault if you didn't cheat and somebody else did. Okay? We want you to win. So you get out there, you cheat.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes. Go to Hawaii on the restaurants, basically.
Lacey Mosley
And you deserve that. If you work in a restaurant, you deserve all the nice things in life. Because the girls out here entitled, then they don't want to tip. I'm like, you go take your buck ass to the grocery store where you can have your own restaurant at home.
Eli Gonzalez
Mm.
Lacey Mosley
Home restaurant.
Eli Gonzalez
We got it at home. Yes.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. So let's get into my favorite segment here. Historic Hoodwinks. This is where I will regale Eli with a famous con caper. Group of criminals we don't know yet. Sometimes we love them, sometimes we hate them. But I want to get your opinions all throughout, so you let me know. There's quite a bit of media in this episode. So you definitely wanna go to the scam. I'm talking like Peter now. I say so you definitely wan. So you definitely want go. Oh, goodness.
Eli Gonzalez
I have many son.
Lacey Mosley
I have so many son. So you definitely want to go to scam goddess pod on Instagram so you can check out these videos. And we'll include the Instagram clip for Peter Thompson as well, because him and his mini son and grandson would want you to see it. So based on TikToks without any real scientific support, regular people are paying thousands of dollars to lay in top, top secret in quotes hospital beds that can cure any disease. Except they don't actually do that. They're just a days in motel bed with a canister full of nothing underneath. So I first want to say the hell, Eli, when you were telling us your scamming, I was like, hold on, hold on. Is it one of those things on TikTok where once the girls know, they know.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
There are certain things about TikTok where it is legitimate and there will be like, oh, my God, you guys will never guess. And they all talk in that same cadence and. And it scares me. Oh, my God, guys, you will never guess. The product I am obsessed with.
Eli Gonzalez
It's disarming.
Lacey Mosley
But also a little I punch my grandma in the eye obsessed.
Eli Gonzalez
They all want to punch our grandmas.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, they do. They're like, I hit my grandma in the throat after I put on this.
Eli Gonzalez
Elderly abuse is running rampant on TikTok. But no one's talking about that.
Lacey Mosley
No one's talking about it. Okay, we're not ready for that disc.
Eli Gonzalez
No one's ready for that conversation.
Lacey Mosley
No one's ready for that conversation.
Eli Gonzalez
Let's see these beds.
Lacey Mosley
Down to the boots. Bad joint tea. Okay. Because you also gotta, like, use like African American language and, like, queer language.
Eli Gonzalez
And queer language. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
You gotta. Yeah. Slay the house down Boots Mama.
Eli Gonzalez
I can't listen to a post without a couple of tongue pops.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, no.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah. Speaking like birds.
Lacey Mosley
Bird talk and avian talk.
Eli Gonzalez
Avian talk. It's all the same.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. Oh. So I said all this to say, some of these things on TikTok are legit. Like, you'll look at that. Like, you'll be like, oh, my God, I do love this product that I got off of there. But then. Then what I don't like about them sharing and why I like to Gatekeep is that soon as the girlies who sell the products know that the product is flying off the shelves, the price goes up.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
All of a sudden, my $2 translucent powder. No, I won't tell you, the name goes up to like 10 or wherever. Yeah. And it's like.
Eli Gonzalez
And then like all the. And then after that, then you get the, like, kind of lesser things popping up. They're like, oh, it's the same thing, but cheaper.
Lacey Mosley
Like the Kirkland.
Eli Gonzalez
Not the Kirkland is bad, but like the.
Lacey Mosley
The dupes.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, the dupes. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. But I'm saying all this to say that, look, these people are at a Daze Inn motel. So we're just gonna photo of a Dazen, because I have never seen one. I'm. I've never. I'm kidding. I've seen a days in I.
Eli Gonzalez
But I haven't wanted to. I've never wanted.
Lacey Mosley
I never wanted to.
Eli Gonzalez
I've seen it, but I've never wanted to, Mama.
Lacey Mosley
I never wanted to see it.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Driving up the. Yeah. Driving down the 10 to like the.
Lacey Mosley
Inland Empire and this is no shade. In certain areas, you're not going to get any type of luxury experience. No, you're not going to get that H and O tail. You're only going to get the M.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah, you're going to get the M. And honestly, sometimes the O is like on the floor so it's Mattel.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, Mattel.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Which sounds French.
Eli Gonzalez
It does sound okay.
Lacey Mosley
But we're looking at this Dazen motel. And you know what days in motels do have that continental breakfast. And I won't even lie. I'm not even going to hold you. When I. When I was in middle America we definitely had to stay at a certain spot when we were shooting. Scam got us for one that was just in the middle of nowhere and they had, you know that cup that they. You put the batter in and then you pour it on the waffle maker iron. Yes, they had one of those. So your waffle was hot.
Eli Gonzalez
Honestly, I like it.
Lacey Mosley
Okay.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. That over crisp bacon as well.
Lacey Mosley
You gonna get all the cantaloupe? Green.
Eli Gonzalez
Only green.
Lacey Mosley
Only green.
Eli Gonzalez
Only green.
Lacey Mosley
That's all.
Eli Gonzalez
You get a little orange.
Lacey Mosley
You get a little orange and I hate that. It's not a real fruit. Okay. That is a potato in drag and.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm tired of it. A potato in drag, that's what a cantaloupe is. Yes.
Lacey Mosley
I hate it here, but it's fine. So let's talk about movies and media just for a second. In the sci fi future of books and movies, advanced medical pods that can diagn and treat any illnesses using alien or military. Or alien military technology have existed for a long time, right?
Eli Gonzalez
Oh yeah, A generation.
Lacey Mosley
So we were always seeing the girls get out of a pod. Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
Your Star wars, your Star Trek.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, yeah. And your Fifth Element. I feel like homegirl got out of the chamber.
Eli Gonzalez
I've never seen.
Lacey Mosley
Oh my goodness. They don't yell at you, but those are the fanboys. But no, no, no, no, no. The Fifth Element is like a very popular Halloween costume too. Like the girl is in the chamber and then she has this really red like bob and she's wearing just like stuff over her titties and like anything that needed to be covered up. Yeah, she got.
Eli Gonzalez
You see that any day in WeHo.
Lacey Mosley
Exactly. Oh yes. You got Westworld where they naked and they acting naked the whole time and stuff. So you know, this is a very popular concept that people have always kind of dreamt of.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
So Larry Niven's 1970 sci fi novel Ringworld has a lot of these type of self healing ideas. I have never heard of that. Larry, I don't know this man. I'm sorry to.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Ringworld, Ring World. But it's too close for me, it's.
Eli Gonzalez
Too close for my company.
Lacey Mosley
I don't want to read that. I don't want to touch it. I think people's trying to get a, you know, diagnosis.
Eli Gonzalez
Runs rampant in the family. That's not right.
Lacey Mosley
No, no. Good. So in the 1994 movie Stargate, an aquatic species of symbiotes from the planet P3X88. Which, honestly, sounds like a barcode. Yes. Or like one of those codes that you get when you need to, like. Like, put Apple on a new tv.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Link up this thing.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. It's like, this is the code that comes. The bank sends you this code and is like, do not share with anyone. That's what it's given.
Eli Gonzalez
Sci Fi book the same code.
Lacey Mosley
So basically, they use a sarcophagus to cure themselves and their hosts from any disease and keep them from aging. So that's where you really gag me, is when you say, I gotta cure my disease, but then also, I'm gonna look like a fresh baby.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. So we're talking about pods. Like, pods where you go in you.
Lacey Mosley
And we have a little clip from Stargate just to get an.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, no.
Lacey Mosley
I love waking up screaming. What is he doing? Okay, he's feeling all his body.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, maybe he was shot and then that healed him.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
Is that what that is?
Lacey Mosley
Work? So he got up, like, in the place of just being shot, and it's like, oh, I'm not shot no more.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes. This room. The room doesn't have to be that scary.
Lacey Mosley
It does, obviously.
Eli Gonzalez
You could have put that in nice little, like, pastel room.
Lacey Mosley
You know what? Okay, well, that's great. You wake up in a scream, which I used to think movies were being overdramatic, but then I turned 30, and I was like, no. Sometimes I do wake up screaming.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lacey Mosley
People have said I should see somebody about that, but I was like, I don't know. It's giving drama.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. I was like, me and all my friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I live my life dramatically. Why not wake up that way, right?
Lacey Mosley
Are y' all all just waking? Y' all. Let me know when you see.
Eli Gonzalez
It's only in the movies.
Lacey Mosley
Put it in the comments. Have you ever woke up screaming?
Eli Gonzalez
Please do. Please do.
Lacey Mosley
Is it normal? Should we start a club?
Eli Gonzalez
Yes. The movies are all lying to, you know, these. You see these women waking up. Light shining through, a full makeup, a full beat. A full beat. That's not reality.
Lacey Mosley
That's not reality.
Eli Gonzalez
Sometimes you wake up and you're swinging, swinging, swinging. Yeah, yeah. Say, don't take me.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some were saying it was, like, called ptsd, but I was like, no, let's.
Eli Gonzalez
Just call it being 30.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, that's called life, baby.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, Aging. Everyone does it.
Lacey Mosley
In the 2013 movie Elysium, a med bay is a bed or gurney shaped device that humans can use to remedy any ailments or problems related to their health. And it plays a big part in the plot of the movie that not a lot of people saw. I didn't see this, but this was in 2013, so this is recent Elysian. That sound like the Elysian Theater?
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, I was like, isn't that where I do comedy?
Lacey Mosley
Right? Am I deficient in that? Elysium? Do I need vitamins for that?
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, I think I got like, a Costco Kirkland brand, like, a huge supply of it.
Lacey Mosley
Yes, you can get that one a day. Elysium.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, ma'.
Lacey Mosley
Am. Okay, so she's in the little thing, and it says, Citizen Ms. Santiago. It's like a little girl who hopped into Latino representation. I love that. Yes. And so she gets in the machine, it does this body scam on her. It says acute lymphatic leukemia. Damn.
Eli Gonzalez
Damn.
Lacey Mosley
Girl not. You got a diagnosis that fast. That's.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, not a good. Not the kid.
Lacey Mosley
So I know. So little baby. And then. Okay, so they're re atomizing and now she's all clear.
Eli Gonzalez
She's all clear. Oh, good.
Lacey Mosley
And like, isn't that the dream that, like, remember when, like, okay, you can still die from the common cold, which the girls be forgetting, but it has to kind of.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm not forgetting what it has to.
Lacey Mosley
Progress into, like, pneumonia and things like that. You typically have to be super duper elderly or already have some immunocompromization if you're a little.
Eli Gonzalez
New fear unlocked.
Lacey Mosley
Yes, but this. You said new fear unlocked. Oh, my God. Yes. That's why you gotta wash your hands and stay away from people. Guys, like, I still think a mask is cute. I'm not burning all my masks. Like, you know, I'm getting on the plane. I'm going to the dirty ass airport.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, I did the Metro for the first time in like, 10 years recently, and I was. My heart was pounding the whole time. Somebody would sniffle and I would feel like. You know in movies when somebody's about to faint, you hear the. The thing goes narrow. That's what I feeling.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. All of a sudden, everything's in fisheye. Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
Your ghost lanthimos film in fisheye.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. No. So I. I wish I could just hop. I'd be like, oh, my God, y', all, I got a little gal. Let me Hop in this machine.
Eli Gonzalez
I know. It's such a big deal. Next time, you're like, oh, my God, I've got. In the future. Like, I got cancer.
Lacey Mosley
And you're like, girl, just go, girl. I'm using that cancer as an excuse. Last week, when you come back, you.
Eli Gonzalez
Can get that lasered off.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Last week, when you're gonna come to.
Eli Gonzalez
Pride, it's a 15 minutes.
Lacey Mosley
It's like mean girls just like, I'm sick, girl. Go get over that cancer. So we can go.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, yeah. Just get in a pod.
Lacey Mosley
It's like, y', all, I'm running five minutes behind.
Eli Gonzalez
It's 2070. Yeah, it's 2070. 10 minutes. I'll give you 10 minutes behind.
Lacey Mosley
Listen, I got 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah. Can y' all order for me? Yeah, I gotta get rid of this diabetes real quick. I'll be. I'll beat her up.
Eli Gonzalez
Order me the pancakes. Extra syrup.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. And the mimosa. Thank you so much. No, I can have the sugar because I'm about to treat it.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. I'm about to treat it.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Like I want. Everybody wants it.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm about to die a. Beat this.
Lacey Mosley
No, not. I'm about to diabeteat this. No, no. Does that mean that people die?
Eli Gonzalez
Losers. No.
Lacey Mosley
Y' all remember me different. Remember me different.
Eli Gonzalez
Remember me different.
Lacey Mosley
We're trying to motivate y'.
Eli Gonzalez
All.
Lacey Mosley
You going to die a this.
Eli Gonzalez
You're going to.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, that's merged.
Eli Gonzalez
That is merged, y'.
Lacey Mosley
All. Remember I said it first. Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
Remember I said I'll deal with.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, percentages. Oh, no, I said it first. So I.
Eli Gonzalez
Scamming the guest right now.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, yes. That's a part of the show.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm getting scammed irl.
Lacey Mosley
So I'm not gonna play this clip, but there is another movie, Prometheus, that features a med pod. Like, you kind of get where we're going here. Like, there's a bunch of med pods, but the machine was designed to treat men, so there's no automatic, like, C section that it can do. So she has to use abdominal surgery instead. Yeah, it's definitely gonna be sexist.
Eli Gonzalez
Even in the future, you would think.
Lacey Mosley
Nah, Prometheus was like. It's named after Prometheus. Like, y' all thought it was, like, pro bitches. Yeah, Pro womenness.
Eli Gonzalez
Damn.
Lacey Mosley
No, we. We have nothing for you.
Eli Gonzalez
Damn.
Lacey Mosley
I know that's wrong, but so, you know, women. Hopefully it can still help us, you know, something. Give us a crumb at least. Like, I'm. I'm on My period. Let me hop in this machine real quick. All right, it's done.
Eli Gonzalez
Ready for the swimming pool, right.
Lacey Mosley
Ba season. And it's white. Let me put on my white bikini. I hope that that's the ad now. Like, instead of with the blue liquid, it's like the machine, and they're like, ladies, are you on your period?
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, she's been.
Lacey Mosley
But it's time for your honeymoon. Hello, bookie.
Eli Gonzalez
I love that.
Lacey Mosley
Okay, so these are fictional depictions of the future, of course, but that future is now, according to TikTok. And hold on, we got another source here. YouTube.
Eli Gonzalez
Not YouTube.
Lacey Mosley
Rich people are already using real med beds all the time, and Joe Sixpack has no idea.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, poor Joe Sixpack.
Lacey Mosley
Poor Joe Sixpack.
Eli Gonzalez
Poor Joe Sixpack.
Lacey Mosley
He is trapped in a mansion with 12 other teens, and he has to dance for his dinner. Okay, that's nuts. That's nuts. Joe Sixpack. We're so sorry. So look, they're real now is what we're saying. Okay. The theory has grown in popularity among followers of far right movements like QAnon, some of whom claim to be urgently awaiting a med bed to treat a sever severe health condition. TikTok and YouTube videos claim that the US military is already in possession of advanced technology that could cure all diseases and extend human life. Now, here's where I just want to pause for a quick second before we watch this video and say that. Far right people. 1. We know y' all in a cult, bookie. Like, y' all in a cult, baby girl. Because if you cannot evaluate anyone who's leading your cult to any degree, no matter what they do or say, baby, that's a cult.
Eli Gonzalez
That's a cult. When the sun shines out his. And he's like, oh, my God, no.
Lacey Mosley
That is a cult. Because I can still admire someone and respect them and respect certain ideas while also taking them to task when they make mistakes. Oh, yeah. That is what you should be able to do.
Eli Gonzalez
Aoc. I'm keeping tabs.
Lacey Mosley
Yes.
Eli Gonzalez
Love her. I'm keeping tabs.
Lacey Mosley
Sometimes you're slapping on that red lipstick and doing a photo op in front of people in cages. Don't think.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, mama, mamas. I keep my eyes open.
Lacey Mosley
I know you got your videos and your viral sensation stuff, but, like, babes, we need to be politicking.
Eli Gonzalez
That was not of time for lipstick.
Lacey Mosley
No, I mean. And I know that's her signature red because she's. She's. She's D.C. hot.
Eli Gonzalez
She is. She's really D.C. hot.
Lacey Mosley
Yes. And, oh, my God. I said, this is someone from dc. And they did not understand what I meant. And I felt so bad. I was like, yeah, you know, DCs like Hollywood for ugly people. And she was like, she was from the dmv. She's very pretty. But I was like, ma', am, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the famous politicians don't have to be lookers.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. When you're even, like, kind of when you have, like, one symmetrical feature, you're like, oh, a 10 out of 10. Did you see?
Lacey Mosley
Damn.
Eli Gonzalez
Their eye is only a centimeter above their other eye.
Lacey Mosley
Barack Obama had the girl sliding out of the chairs.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, yeah, honey. Oh, yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Bill Clinton played the saxophone and everyone was like, play it on me, please. Please.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Nuts.
Lacey Mosley

That doesn't shock me. Most cults like the propaganda, the things that get spread around conspiracy theories. There is always a little bit of truth to the lie and that's what hooks people to it. Because yes, they're claiming that the US Military and the government is already in possession of advanced technology that could cure all diseases. I don't think it's all diseases, but we all know that since our healthcare is for profit and since there isn't really an incentive in curing some disease that we can chronically just keep you ill with medicine for cause that eradicates that chronic pace system.
Eli Gonzalez
That's so true. So what disease do you think that they have the cure for but are like, we'll just keep it. We'll just keep it for.
Lacey Mosley
I feel like not all cancers, but some of them cancers are very big boomy. Don't have me putting out conspiracy theories, y'. All. I'm not that girl. Let me take this tinfoil off. Eli, how did you put this riddles wrap on my head?
Eli Gonzalez
Mama, we're dying. It's a dye job.
Lacey Mosley
So let's look at one of these videos here. I'm already titillated. Ooh.
D
Med beds are revolutionary medical devices that look like regular beds but work wonders. Using advanced technology, they scan your body, detect issues, and start the healing process. Think of broken bones, chronic pain, or even diseases being treated while you rest. It's like having a personal doctor, nurse, and surgeon all in one. Just lie down, relax, and let the med bed do its magic. This is the next big leap in healthcare, making treatments Faster, safer, and more comfortable. So are you ready to sleep your way to better health?
Eli Gonzalez
I'm about to cry. I'm sold.
Lacey Mosley
Okay. See, the reason I'm not sold by this is, like, the person's voice, like babes could. Don't. You're not a voiceover person, Mommy.
Eli Gonzalez
You're doing the same voice when you were doing the intro.
Lacey Mosley
That's not the same. She was like, are you ready for me bed? It's a little more. Are you laid down? And the doctor. You don't even need them no more because the bed is super good, and it's gonna heal you while you sleep. Imagine the future. I'm like, no, girl.
Eli Gonzalez
I need, like, yeah, get a professional actor to do that at least.
Lacey Mosley
But can you imagine, like, if James Earl Jones.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, Mufasa.
Lacey Mosley
Earl Jones told me about it. Oh, take my money.
Eli Gonzalez
Take my life savings. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
I'm laying down right now.
Eli Gonzalez
I follow that man to the ends of the earth. That voice, like, just.
Lacey Mosley
Even the guy who does the movie trailers.
Eli Gonzalez
Imagine. Imagine. Imagine a bed. A bed cure every disease. As you see, I can't even get to that register. I'm making a fool of myself.
Lacey Mosley
I can't even do it either. I'm trying so hard, and my throat is starting.
Eli Gonzalez
I need one of those beds to hear the, like, nodes after that.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, right. I'm getting notes. I'm getting full notes right now. Also, I feel like I'm giving something scary. I'm like, imagine a bed like that. You don't want to get into the bed. Scary. You don't want to get in the bed that I was just selling. But you know what I mean? You know, you give me a Morgan Freeman, a James Earl Jones, dulcet notes. Who's a woman who could also do this? And it would become.
Eli Gonzalez
While singing Enya, maybe Enya would sing it.
Lacey Mosley
Well, we don't want singing medical stuff.
Eli Gonzalez
Okay, let's see. Who's somebody singing?
Lacey Mosley
Talking about medical. Wee operate on your heart. Like, you don't want nobody singing.
Eli Gonzalez
How about, who's got a beautiful voice? I mean, I like Cate Blanchett.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Cate Blanchett could eat. I feel like Nikki Kidman could.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
When she was like, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. We were like, every day.
Eli Gonzalez
I was going every day just for that.
Lacey Mosley
Ugh. Like, I don't even know what's playing as the movie. I'm sorry. The movie goes. I'm just there.
Eli Gonzalez
I'd use my little past and be like, okay, I'm good. Like, there's still.
Lacey Mosley
I just needed a quick hit of.
Eli Gonzalez
Quick little than this golden minute.
Lacey Mosley
She reminds me that things are possible in life.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. But this. That it doesn't convince me just because of that. But we are looking at a real woman laying down here in this bed. Bed, though they have human beings doing it. And she is going into a machine that has lots of lights.
E
And we're gonna do cellular resonance therapy, ozone therapy, negative ion therapy, vibrational therapy. So we'll start all that.
Eli Gonzalez
So you.
E
Can see the vibrational theory.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm sorry.
Lacey Mosley
That was vibration.
Eli Gonzalez
That's a portable air conditioner.
Lacey Mosley
Yes.
E
It's called our celestial chamber. And it's designed for deep lymphatic flushing. So what's happening here?
Eli Gonzalez
There's somebody underneath that just shaking it. There's somebody underneath?
Lacey Mosley
Yes.
E
It can go around the Earth four times. The Earth is 25,000 miles long. So people, everything is diet. So your lymphatic system carries 3/4 of all your fluids in your body. So as you can see, while she's shaking here, this is giving her whole body vibration at the same time with the infrared therapy, that's heating the body up. So the body being heated up is.
Lacey Mosley
Gonna do extremely heated up.
Eli Gonzalez
Let me see underneath that. There is someone underneath that portable AC shaking that thing.
Lacey Mosley
They just have like 10 thera guns, the teemu ones. So I have to say that first of all, they said they were going to do vibrational therapy. Vi. Like vibranium. Like, what are we talking about? I remember low vibrational plates. Low vibrational people, but low vibration. You talking about my vibes gonna be better when I leave here.
Eli Gonzalez
You say that I'm gonna actually be a pleasant person after I go.
Lacey Mosley
People are gonna like me more.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, people are gonna like me.
Lacey Mosley
They said they're doing Celestial therapy.
Eli Gonzalez
Angels. He's just as. As a reincarnated saint. I gotta tell you, that bed is not doing anything for you. Celestial. Are you sure?
Lacey Mosley
This is also interesting to me because vibrating beds are usually like, a sign that you're at, like, a very seedy motel.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Oh.
Eli Gonzalez
Because people want a little motion in that ocean.
Lacey Mosley
But I have always wanted to see if it adds something to the experience. Because for some reason, I'll go to the Motel 6. I'm like, can I get two people in one of these and just close the doors.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Days Inn. We just gotta make a reservation at the local. Days Inn.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Don't you insult Motel 6 like that. They leave the light on for us. So the beds are said to be at least three types. Right. One is holographic med beds, which scans your whole body to instantly diagnose and then heal any sickness. Another can regenerate personal DNA, so people can regrow missing limbs in a few minutes. Faster than a lizard.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Lizard takes a.
Lacey Mosley
With that tail, I'm like, come on. Now. A third can reverse aging and rewind people's bodies to the age and condition of their choosing. So the third one's like, I want to start over. I want to be a baby.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. You know, I want to in my. I'm tired of going to the bathroom. I'm tired of leaning over. I just want to.
Lacey Mosley
We'll keep walking into the days in with empty strollers. Yeah.
Eli Gonzalez
And then coming out, and someone's pushing.
Lacey Mosley
Them out, pushing the baby.
Eli Gonzalez
Where are they getting these babies?
Lacey Mosley
Where are they? They're babies now.
Eli Gonzalez
For me, it's like, why would you lie so crazily? That's like, limbs growing limbs in minutes. Come on. I could believe you if you said, oh, the vibration could help. Back issues could dislodge, like, toxins. I could believe that this is too far.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Because I'm gonna. I go and get a peel or I get something done, or I slather myself in creams at night. Yes.
Eli Gonzalez
Scams that I can believe.
Lacey Mosley
And I'm like, I believe this is working.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes.
Lacey Mosley
And I'm hydrated. But then a scam, like, where I'm missing a limb, and then I come out, I'm gonna know. Yes.
Eli Gonzalez
A skin can easily be like.
Lacey Mosley
And they're like, no, it takes years for it to grow. But don't you feel it tingling?
Eli Gonzalez
Like, the video just said. The video just. I literally just said minutes.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Minutes. But they didn't say how many minutes.
Eli Gonzalez
That's true. Yeah. 25,600 minutes.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. They didn't say how many minutes. Okay.
Eli Gonzalez
That's true.
Lacey Mosley
Truly. So they're also saying, in fact, JFK is still alive. Which. Remember when they went to the grassy knoll to see jfk, and he ain't slide, but they said he's alive and he's in a med bed, if you can believe it. So now they said he was gonna pull up to Dallas, and then he did a show, and they were like, oh, it's cause he's in the med bed. But he.
Eli Gonzalez
He got stuck in the med bed. They couldn't open it. The latch wouldn't work.
Lacey Mosley
But he is coming back, and he's alive. So this powerful healing will work for anyone. And all you have to do Is lay in bed. It's the dream, literally. And real companies are marketing it. So of course Tesla is involved. Well, mama, not that one.
Eli Gonzalez
Well, was waiting for that driver.
Lacey Mosley
This one's called Tesla Biohealing and has no relation to the car company. Or Elon just conveniently has. Has the same name. You know how you have the same name but you don't have no relationship? Tesla.
Eli Gonzalez
But it's with a Z. Tesla, right?
Lacey Mosley
Oh, no, they just spelled it.
Eli Gonzalez
They literally. They're just like.
Lacey Mosley
But they put bio healing, so it's like you can't.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, that's a. Oh, so. Yeah, because it's a. You elongated the name. Okay, that's fine.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, that's how I own Frito Lay.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes. Get ready for McDonald's. Okay. I couldn't even finish it. I think of something else. Play place. Yeah, McDonald's food.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, they own Play Place now, you know.
Eli Gonzalez
Do they? Oh, they really probably do.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. You gotta be like, McDonald's food. Food.
Eli Gonzalez
Ye. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Sustenance. So Tesla Biohealing runs multiple locations where you can go lay on one of their medical device beds that supposedly fill patients with life force energy. They have locations in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arizona, Massachusetts and Florida.
Eli Gonzalez
You know, you could just eat food, right? You want to just. Life force.
Lacey Mosley
Life force energy comes from laying in a warm vibrating bed with slightly purple shining on. Yes. How are you going to tell me that I don't have life force energy after that?
Eli Gonzalez
You just have to believe it.
Lacey Mosley
But you can only bring your pets with you in Delaware, Arizona and Illinois. But you can bring your pets if you're like, fido is down bad. Yeah, Fido don't want to fetch no more.
Eli Gonzalez
Fido's missing a limb.
Lacey Mosley
He needs. He needs no Fido on one of them. Oh my gosh, Not Fido. I want wheels. He won't be after he lays in the Tesla Biohealing. So they recommend one adult BioHealer which costs $599. But for severe cancers, they recommend two or more med bed generators which cost around $19,999. Doing the $999.99 healing here. Also, you are right, Eli, earlier when you said it's just something under the bed. Right.
Eli Gonzalez
That's craziness. I'm telling you. I've got the prophetic powers you do.
Lacey Mosley
You know, prophet came out, jumped out.
Eli Gonzalez
Yes, yes.
Lacey Mosley
So if you want to try it out before you get one in your house, you can go to one of their motel room facilities and lay on the bed for an hour for $160. That's not the only thing that's happening for an hour. $1 60 in.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm gonna take.
Lacey Mosley
So they offer a special of 14 straight days of four hours a day in their motel bed for the very reasonable price of 2,999. Okay. And look at the bed. Look at. They've got so much light on it.
Eli Gonzalez
I. I thought that was an ad. I thought that was an AI ad. I did not know that that was actually.
Lacey Mosley
We all know that. Just has so much light.
Eli Gonzalez
Light coming out of it.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Coming out of it.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. When I drop my phone underneath and I've got the, like.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. So you've got it glowing. Yeah. No, now don't do that, because then you're copyright infringement. Okay. They invented beds with lots of light.
Eli Gonzalez
Who's paying for this?
Lacey Mosley
Tesla Biohealing credits its technology with James Liu, who has previously been accused by the Federal Trade Commission of misleading advertisements for asthma treatments. And his previous company board issued a resolution accusing him sabotage, forgery, and sending company money to an online girlfriend. And this is James right here. And I'm sorry. Like, when we think about.
Eli Gonzalez
That's my doctor. That's my doctor at Cedar Sinai.
Lacey Mosley
I was about to say, when we think about doctors, James really fits the bill.
Eli Gonzalez
That looks a picture copy of mine.
Lacey Mosley
I would let him put me in a paper gown and stethoscope wherever he wanted.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. I'd be like, that's a medical doctor.
Lacey Mosley
He'd be like, we gotta hear your coochie. I'd be like, yep. I'll just put my feet in the stirrups.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Standard doctor.
Lacey Mosley
Has your booty hole listened to with a stethoscope.
Eli Gonzalez
There's a lot going on down there. A lot going on down there.
Lacey Mosley
A lot that you need to hear.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm just ready for his Instagram post being, I have so many son. You should not be. I'm sorry. For Tesla. Yeah. These do not work.
Lacey Mosley
Right. Do not lie to consumers. So other companies. There's a Swiss company called 90.10 or 90.10. I don't know. Child. Which owns the URL. Medved.com so they got the URL. That's nice. They claim to allow users to access infinite energy and reprogram your DNA without any side effects. How am I supposed to go home and know if my DNA is reprogrammed?
Eli Gonzalez
23Andme. Oh, no.
Lacey Mosley
That.
Eli Gonzalez
That went under.
Lacey Mosley
Right. But I'm like, I don't even know.
Eli Gonzalez
All of a sudden you have different Relatives.
Lacey Mosley
You're like, oh yeah, how would I know?
Eli Gonzalez
I know. That's crazy.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, how would I know?
Eli Gonzalez
Well don't they say that like your animal, animals, your dog can like sniff your like DNA or like nose maybe?
Lacey Mosley
Like, oh, maybe. Yeah, you have your dog do a sniff test and you see. So Unlike Tesla, BioHealing 9010 doesn't even offer users a metal can. Instead it purports to convert users regular beds into the fabled med bed, using faster than light technology to teleport or beam quantum energy and frequencies into the human body without time delay. So for $2,500, the company instructs you in how to lay in your and harness their technology by saying a special phrase out loud.
Eli Gonzalez
That's praying. That's what the Bible does. You go to bed, you pray.
Lacey Mosley
Jesus, are you medbed.com? because I've been getting on my knees and saying the special words to harmless.
Eli Gonzalez
And I'm still waking up screaming, fighting for my life.
Lacey Mosley
Wait a minute. Jesus, I know these chunklers. I noticed. This is you. So although the advertising often looks like cutting edge alien future technology, like a movie Prometheus, sometimes it is truly like an image from a movie. But in practice, the beds are regular mattress firm style beds with mysterious canisters placed underneath.
Eli Gonzalez
Okay, no, those are food cans with the label ripped off. That's literally food cans with the label.
Lacey Mosley
One has the label still on it.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, there it is. Yeah.
Lacey Mosley
Babes, what are we doing? They knew.
Eli Gonzalez
That's the menudo. That's the menudo can.
Lacey Mosley
It is. You know what it's giving. Like when you were in college and you put your bed on coaster so you could make it higher up so you could put stuff underneath. That's what this is.
Eli Gonzalez
I was healing myself in college.
Lacey Mosley
They said do it, but make it science. And then you gotta say the magic words. Which are?
Eli Gonzalez
Which are.
Lacey Mosley
I don't know, what would the mama say?
Eli Gonzalez
And then the beams and then my limbs back. That's nice.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, that's. Y' all are trifling for this. Y' all are so trifling.
Eli Gonzalez
It's getting so much more rude. I can't. Every step I'm like, how do you.
Lacey Mosley
You're gonna get worse. Okay, so what do they claim or not claim? Tesla Biohealing doesn't claim that its med bed generators can regrow missing body parts. Okay, fair. They're not claiming.
Eli Gonzalez
Not. Okay, that's.
Lacey Mosley
But it does recommend its products for a spectrum of conditions ranging from mild including asthma and auto autism. They Always trying to cure autism. Like, autistic people are necessary, okay? Like, they work in so many fields that I couldn't work in because of just like my emotional processing.
Eli Gonzalez
You know what I mean? Love.
Lacey Mosley
Oh, God, you need them. Who else is going to work at Spirit Airlines? They don't got time for your emotions, Mama. Yeah, like, let's be serious. There's so many places that we need them, okay? Y. See all them movies with the beautiful minds and the drawing on the walls and like this? We not doing that.
Eli Gonzalez
So you're saying that you don't want a Beautiful Mind is what you're saying. You're saying that you don't want that.
Lacey Mosley
You want somebody with a special set of skills, okay? There's an autistic person out there who knows everything about fucking frogs that you could ever fucking know, okay? And I bet you he could tell me which ones I could lick to get high, which ones I lick and I die. And I want him to know when.
Eli Gonzalez
You'Re out in nature, when you're lost in nature and you want to get good high and you don't know how to do it, then you'll want the people who've been studying frogs and tell you exactly which frog will get you high.
Lacey Mosley
Exactly. They be knowing, I'm not with this. There's nothing to cure about autism, okay? We love these people. So they also said they do severe things like terminal cancers, which obviously they don't. In an email to Dr. Liu told the Daily Beast that med beds provide life force energy to the user. With anyone that has an unmet severe condition such as terminal cancers and stroke paralysis for six months, they don't have much life force energy and it's harder for them to get better. So they're saying, like, if you do this, you'll get some of your life force energy back. I love that the Daily Beast was the people who interviewed him because this is definitely an ad that you would read like Pizzagate, Wayfair Unleashed. And then you scroll down and one of the advertisements would be for medves. Yes, you definitely see this on TMZ as well. They're like, Janet Jackson has cartoon sex tattoos. And then you scroll down, it's like.
Eli Gonzalez
Guess who's dating President Obama on the DL.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. Five celebrities that are definitely gay.
Eli Gonzalez
And then you scroll down as told by an eight year old boy interpreting dreams.
Lacey Mosley
It was definitely you, Eli.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, yeah, mama. Oh, yeah.
Lacey Mosley
I've been telling you. Yeah, you've been telling people that they were gay and they need to.
Eli Gonzalez
I'm Telling Pedro Pascal.
Lacey Mosley
He's not listening, and he needs to know.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, mama, but you know what?
Lacey Mosley
For me, for my intensive purposes, I don't need that for me, but I.
Eli Gonzalez
Need it for me.
Lacey Mosley
I need. Okay, well, you know what? What if we got him to pan? Yeah, you don't want to ask God if we can make a compromise?
Eli Gonzalez
Let's do a pan yet.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. So on that we're wrapping this up on the Tesla site. A disclaimer says their products are not intended to replace your physician's care, diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any diseases or medical condition. It goes on to note, no claims are made that Tesla biohealing products or services diagnosed in the presence or absence of any medical conditions. No claims made by Tesla biohealing products are a cure or a treatment for any medical conditions or diseases. This does not work.
Eli Gonzalez
Come on, James Earl.
Lacey Mosley
These are just some cans that we got from outside. If you buy this, you're a fool. But we thank you so much for your money. You won't get it back.
Eli Gonzalez
Well, it says that on there.
Lacey Mosley
Void wear prohibited. And the nine Tens disclaimer says that its med bed is short for meditation bed.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, my God. Oh, y' all thought it was a rug under. That was the rug pulled from under me. Oh, you thought it was medicine.
Lacey Mosley
That's crazy.
Eli Gonzalez
Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. You can't sue us. We said meditation.
Lacey Mosley
Who said?
Eli Gonzalez
It's right there.
Lacey Mosley
It says med, not medi. Cal. Wow. Meditation. Meditation actually stands for medium. Medium bed. Okay.
Eli Gonzalez
And that's how they get. That's how they can't get sued.
Lacey Mosley
You know, they got a swim bed, they got a king, they got a queen, and we got a medium bed.
Eli Gonzalez
It's been a bed service the whole time.
Lacey Mosley
Exactly. It was just a mattress. What you talking about? I can't believe they said that. Who said that? Who said that? Legal love it. So it's not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It was also not developed for these purposes. That's what they said.
Eli Gonzalez
Well, yeah. They just found the mattress on the side of the road.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, they said. That's why we said. Say the phrase. You're supposed to be meditating.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, you're saying. Have you been saying it?
Lacey Mosley
That's how you're not healing. That's why you're not healing. Overall, what do you think of this scam?
Eli Gonzalez
Absolutely ridiculous. And I feel like at every stage, you have to have had a bunch of people be like, oh, now it's too ridiculous. So I'm curious About the one person that. That this fooled.
Lacey Mosley
I mean, there is a power of suggestion with this bed. There's also a desperation of people who are purchasing it because you're one trying. If you're trying to get life force back, you're probably tired, overworked, or perhaps you have a condition that is draining your energy, or maybe you have a terminal illness or you have a chronic disease and chronic pain. And so, yes, if someone told you that you could relieve yourself of these things by laying in a machine or laying on a different bed, I'm not gonna say that if I had exhausted all of my resources, if I'm not to get this bed. You know how many times I thought about buying miracle spring water?
Eli Gonzalez
How many?
Lacey Mosley
Like 3am times.
Eli Gonzalez
That's dark.
Lacey Mosley
52 weeks time it was 2020. That whole year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, like 365 days. One year during COVID I was just up late and I was like, miracle spring water's starting to look kind of good.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah. Up to anything at this point. I think that, you know, what if. If you're gonna do it and if it's terminal, I mean, dark as it may be, put in our credit card once you're gone.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah. If it makes you feel better, like, I get a little woo woo with certain things. You know, like, I believe in a little. I drink, I sip a little bit of everybody's Kool Aid. Just a taste. Not a Jonestown amount, but just like.
Eli Gonzalez
A little, you know, for a little bit.
Lacey Mosley
Yeah, Yeah. I just want to know so I understand. And I don't fault the people who have invested in these. I fought the companies and I really fought 9, 9010. Because y' all ain't for medical bed, they said meditation bed.
Eli Gonzalez
Truly the rug pulled from underneath me. Mr. Liu, you better. I better see your Instagram post tomorrow.
Lacey Mosley
Literally. And it better be like, this is for my grandson.
Eli Gonzalez
This is for my grandson. My many grandsons.
Lacey Mosley
My many grandson. Yeah, okay. Cause we. We not fucking with it. Definitely not fucking with it. And TikTok, look, shame on you. It's very much. May the buyer beware, because sometimes you do find a little hack or a little something that works. But a lot of times the girls are just on there talking in that cadence. It's like, oh, my God, guys.
Eli Gonzalez
Yeah, no ser. So interesting. That's so true about any technology, any new, like a platform that like you there will be good. But if you're going to take the good, you have to. Yeah, you have to deal with some of the scams.
Lacey Mosley
