Some might call him the Deacon of the CONgregation, and today, he’s blessing us with his presence. Laci welcomes her OG comedian bestie, Jacquis Neal (Grand Crew, Dropout TV), to dive into the wild story of phone call phony and teen fraudster Elliot Castro.
As his scams unravel, Laci and Jacquis uncover Elliot’s bad-kid teeth, his absentee father—who may or may not have worked on an offshore oil rig—his obsession with credit cards, and his desperate desire to make long-lasting friendships. And just like George Costanza in Seinfeld got caught pretending to be a marine biologist, Elliot eventually gets busted for faking his way through a profession he never actually worked in. Stay schemin'!
