The Casual Lovestruck Con Artist w/ Chris Gethard

from Scam Goddess · host iHeartPodcasts

What’s poppin’ con-gregation? This week, Chris Gethard joins the show to discuss Steven Jay Russell, a notorious conman, fraudster, and hopeless romantic who’s known for walking out the front door of prisons, driven by his desire to be with the love of his life. His life inspired the movie I Love You Phillip Morris staring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Plus, an Arizona mom claims that scammers used AI to clone her daughter’s voice so they could demand a $1 million ransom from her while she was safe on a ski trip.

#1 Dad Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts As kids, most of us look up to our Dads. A Dad should be a positive role model who shows us the value of hard work.

Or is he still wearing a fake neck brace, forging documents, and creating sham businesses to scam anyone who will take the bait? Welcome to the hilarious and heartfelt true story of Gary Vider and his #1 Dad. Explicit
