She didn't even pronounce Illinois right!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh you want some more? Alright. Here you go. 🤣🤣🤣
For obvious reasons, this is one of my favorite episodes of the podcast and it's super interesting listening to the bonus version!
landlords are blood sucking parasites? What is wrong with you? You realize the stereotype of a landlord is plain false, right? Majority have a couple of properties and are making a tiny profit each month. Not flying private jets and living in luxury. Plenty of horrible tenant stories out there as well.
nobody who owns a couple of properties is scraping by lmao
Damn!
tron funkin blow!!!!
I’m so curious about the hired actors...like, how did she find them? Craigslist? Were some of them in on the con or was she pulling a double con? Con con con. Americon.
Every time you played or referred to "Hero" I just laughed more. I really needed that! I will never hear that song again without thinking of this con artist :D
People he conned showed up in court defending him and saying his con saved their lives. Raises interesting questions about whether a con can have good consequences for some victims.
Here is a little discussed con tip for you. https://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/17/us/2-found-guilty-of-collecting-millions-to-aid-love-angels.html
Wow. Just wow. The audacity of some people. I think that's why I am in love with this pod. Great work ACC.
A hero, dog shit, no rent money and a bad garage printer ❤ 10/10
"There's a hero"....😄😄... great listen.
When is season 5 coming? I can't wait and listened to every episode multiple times already lol
Oh, ACC.....I just lol'd way too much when the Hero song stopped and you played it again. That will keep me smiling all day
Back to Back bonus episodes have given me the strength to carry on until Season 5 drops
A few lil bread crumbs while we patiently wait for the new season😊
Illinois taking a beating lately.
It's the most corrupt state in the country..but that's only counting the politicians who are licensed to do it. ACC could do a couple seasons on Chicago alone.
I already didn't care for the Hero song, but now I despise it! Lol how depressing!!!
Oh hello 👋
Yesssss. Perfect Monday start. Tell me this means the new season is on the horizon 👀
Wow, this chick is a bag of ass. Thanks for this episode!
You spoil us CC! ❤️
Professional con is an understatement. Wow. Meanwhile, a double bonus weekend--thanks ACC!
