CONgregation, we’re back this week LIVE from Cobbs Comedy Club, where Laci was joined by comedian, actor, and host Jacquis Neal (Grand Crew, Crowd Control). Laci invited fans to steal merch and books, and together they pondered whether flight vouchers for giving up your seat on an overbooked plane are actually worth it. They discussed TikTok Shop and asked the age-old question: Are fathers a scam? Finally, they dug into the scam empire of the iconic Tyra Banks and listened to listener letters live in person!
