Speaker 4 (00:19):
Okay if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio at Tiffany Hobbs. Here, it's Saturdays with Tiffany. We're
back after a two week hiatus. Happy to be with
you here in our regular seat. You've taken to the talkbacks.
You've told us what you're thinking, what you're doing this
Labor Day weekend, and some thoughts on burning man.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Right, Eric, let's do that. What are we doing this
Labor Day weekend?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Good evening for San Diego. Hello, I have absolutely nothing
going on this holiday weekend, saying I have no family,
no children, no living relatives, and all my friends are busy.
So I'm just gonna chill out here and just do
my own things, enjoy my piece and quiet. But I
(01:03):
love listening to KFI. You're always live and that makes
me feel so good. Thank you that week, have a
great weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Have a good weekend to you too.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
And I think peace and quiet is the luxury that
a lot of people are looking for. You are rich,
and you are really lucky to be able to enjoy
your own company, and I hope you do all right, Eric,
what's up with Burning Man?
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
So I was.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
I've been showering every day since I was a burning Man,
and I'm telling you.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
I'm at that sandstorm. I'm still trying to get the
grit out of my nards.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Can we say, nerds on the radio? Is that okay? Nerds?
Is there another one? We go ahead?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Where you gonna say, Eric, I was just gonna say,
I'll allow it, allow it, allow it, all right? More
and more Burning Man talkbacks.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Did Neil Savager say anything about the orgy tent at
Burning Man? Quite a few people have been talking about
that orgy tent at Burning Man. I know for a
fact it's they're the entire time Burning Man has been
out in the desert.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
How would you know?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
This little teenager go walking by and my cousins say, oh,
don't don't go in there. Literally the plenty. Yeah, yeah,
that sounds like a porn video.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well, it's an orgy tint, so it's probably the same.
And yes, Neil's comment did come and relate? Did happen
in relation to the orgy Tint Jesus sorry put that
in the promo. Yes, so in all this conversation about
(02:40):
Burning Man, you might find yourself, like I've been in
the past, going what the heck is burning Man? We
hear a lot about Coachella, we hear a lot about
other festivals, but Burning Man seems to be somewhat of
an enigma. And and because it happens every year, I said,
you know what, let's take some time in our deeper
(03:00):
dive segment to really explore what Burning Man is and
why their orgy tint is making all of the news headlines.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
But before we do, Eric, have you ever been to
Burning Man? No?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
But I've been to music festivals.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Similar to Burning Man. Or no, I mean coach like that,
not like anything camping. Yeah, no, I'm standing in a hotel.
I'm not camping, none of that. I need to shower,
ac warm bed.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Come on, you don't want to rough it out there
in the desert with thousands and thousands of other people
or stands deodorant and soap.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
No, no, no, not sure, idea have a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, give me the pool with the hotel room service, all.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Of that nice little drink with an umbrella in it.
You were perfect, perfect Nikki. You're new, you're new to
the States. But burning Man is I can't call it
a festival. It's more of a gathering or a galvanization.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
They're all around the world. Have you ever been.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
I've never been to Burning Man, but I've been to places.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Where it cheese there were men burning.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
No.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
I've been to sex clubs, but never never camping. Okay
with Eric, give me a five star retreat. I'm not
going to go and attend to a festival.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Okay, okay, what about you, Brigitta. I think you might
be working doing some stuff. But have you ever been
to a Burning Man festival?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I will never go. My husband wants to go, and
I'm like the dust.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And then of course I saw all the footage and
I was like, I told you, horrible, no for you.
And then producer Kayla absolutely not, absolutely not my thing,
not your what's your thing?
Speaker 10 (04:34):
I don't even think it's the thing of like the culture,
like that's it's.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Not you know, drugs aren't my thing or do's not
my thing.
Speaker 10 (04:39):
So I'm more of an't know that umbrella and the
drink or a real flower in the drink float around
the pool type of gal I don't even want to
do cochella, just I don't like big cows anymore, especially
after the pandemic.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's just not that a.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Vibe, okay, especially those who aren't necessarily, like I said,
wearing deodorant, practicing regular hygiene. No, but that's what people
seemingly love about Burning Man. Myself, I've never gone, but
I've talked to quite a few people who do and have,
and they love it. Every year this is their pilgrimage.
So where did Burning Man start? We'll start it with
(05:15):
a question of have you ever wanted to burn a man?
Of which some of us could probably say hell yes.
But in June of nineteen eighty six, the founders of
the Burning Man Project and nonprofit look at that altruistic roots,
Larry Harvey and Jerry James, built a wooden human effigy,
(05:38):
set it on fire on San Francisco's Baker Beach as
a symbolic act of letting go of their personal crises,
and called it the First Burn. So this was a
way for them to purge. They were doing it as
a symbol of letting go, kind of like a phoenix
rising from the ashes. They took a man made of
(05:59):
wood they set on fire on the beach, and that
was supposed to signify that they were letting go of
things that they no longer need it, and they named it,
they called it the First Burn. That's in June of
nineteen eighty six, so we're talking thirty nine years ago.
Every year since then, the two Larry Harvey and Jerry
(06:21):
James committed to doing that burn again.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It started as a one.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Day thing in San Francisco, but the next few years later,
in nineteen ninety, it moved to black Rock City, Nevada,
where it lives mostly and most famously now, which is
about one hundred and twenty miles from Reno, and instead
of lasting one week excuse me one day, it lasts
a full week or eight days. It's an interesting event
(06:50):
because you have to essentially survive a few days out
there roughing it in the desert with people you've never met.
You're surrounded by dust than grime, and art, lots of
interesting art, concept art, and what Henry Wu Henri Wu,
a photographer, said is that this entire situation is a
(07:13):
challenge of being self reliant in the desert. Henry Wu,
this photographer, creates content on social media, and he's attended
Burning Man for the last fifteen years. He's one of
those career attendees, and there are a lot of them.
Mainstream media has taken hold of Burning Man in recent years.
(07:36):
We're seeing lots of video about people heading out to
Black Rock City, Nevada, or getting people's anecdotes about what
they're experiencing, especially this year because it's been so topsy turvy.
And even though mainstream media focuses on Black Rock City
in Nevada, like I was saying to Nikki, there are
Burning Man events all over the world.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Now. Some people refer to Burning Man as a festival,
and that's what I started by doing. It's actually not
a festival. It's more, according to attendees, a living art piece,
so you are immersing yourself in living art. It attracts
more than seventy thousand people to Black Rock City over
(08:21):
this eight day period, and together over that eight days, burners.
These are the people who attend Burning Man. And I'm
sure we may have used burners in other ways in
previous conversations, especially in conjunction with orgies and orgy tents.
These burners create a self governing city, and that city
(08:42):
has rules and laws that are somewhat ambiguous, somewhat fluid,
probably using the word fluid to talk about Burning Man.
There's a lot of a lot of metaphors here, but
these rules are there to help things go seemingly smoothly.
It all INDs September first, this Monday where the entire
city gets deconstructed and you'll never even know it existed. People, though,
(09:07):
who leave Burning Man may leave with things that they
may have trouble getting rid of. As more people experience
Burning Man, you know, it's just it's taking shape in
other ways, it's changing form, and it always holds to
ten guiding principles. When we come back, I'll tell you
what those ten guiding principles are that were written by
(09:29):
the founders, Larry Harvey and Jerry James, and then I'll
also tell you about some of the major headlines coming
out of Burning Man, including that aforementioned orgy tent, but
also a baby was born at Burning Man. Tents were
wiped out in the first day of Burning Man. There's
a lot that's come out of this eight day gathering,
(09:51):
and it still has a few more days to go.
We'll continue the conversation on the other side of the break.
It's Tiffany Hops here Saturdays with Tiffany KFI AM six
forty everywhere on the iHeartRadio. At Burning Man, No, not
that thing that happens after you've made a really bad decision,
although in this case it could happen, and we'll get
to that in a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
We're talking about.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
The gathering in the Nevada Desert that attracts tens of
thousands of people to this city, that just forms itself
over the span of eight days and brings all of
these burners that's their name, to this place so they
can all enjoy art and self expression and all these
other things. And I'm telling me about the history of
(10:34):
Burning Man. And we're gonna also get into some of
what's happening currently at the festival, at the gathering as
it wraps up on Monday, September first, But before we do,
we have a talk back about Burning Man.
Speaker 11 (10:47):
Hello greetings, this is Kevin going from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Oh Kevin regarding Burning Man. If you want first class
resort around a Burning Man, google Zoe Zobra. It's our
own Burning Man Festival. Here and it's crazy. It's a
freak show. Zo Zobra, all right.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I'm gonna do that right now. I'm scared of what's
going to happen, zo Zo bro. It just pops up.
Since you put in zoe Zo, a giant marionette effigy
constructed of wood, fire and cotton cloth that's built and
burned on the Friday, yesterday of Labor Day weekend prior
to annual fiestas in New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Oh, currently represents gloom and anxiety. I've had that. Yeah,
it's nice to burn those things down annually. I'm sure
I've had gloom and anxiety. I like to get rid
of that.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Sometimes had a bit of anxiety earlier today. I think
that might have been the sushi from yesterday. Huh, Zozobra,
what Why do they burn to purge negativity, like you said,
symbolize starting anew and release the past year's anxieties in gloom,
much like what Burning Man hopes to do, which is
in its origin story, to let go of personal crises,
(12:02):
to let go in a symbolic act of things that
are weighing you down. And that was started back in
nineteen eighty six by the founders Larry Harvey and Jerry James,
and now thirty nine years later, Burning Man, which started
as a one day, one day gathering, has turned into
an eight day amalgamation of people from everywhere and it
(12:23):
ends up having about eighty thousand people collecting in this
area of the Nevada Desert over an eight day period.
And like I said, it ends this Monday, So this
is the last weekend, and it is hot out there.
It's ninety something here, it's like one hundred and plus.
They're out there in the Nevada Desert and not a
lot of deodorant. There's not a lot of water, there's
(12:44):
not a lot of There aren't any amenities unless you
fork over some major cash to do the glamping or
more highbrow side of what Burning Man has now become.
But at its origins, it is a very paired scale
down collecting and gathering of people with like minds, and
(13:05):
it's guided by specific principles. Larry Harvey wrote these principles,
and they include decommodification. Decommodification which means no money is
exchanged at Burning Man. It's all the barter system. It's
all bartering. And I think Eric told us that before
the show, he said, did you know they only can
(13:26):
barter there? So it's all trade, right, It's all trade.
And then there's the idea. Another principle of radical self
expression all about individual authenticity. They want people to be
their true and authentic selves. Service based expression is another
guiding principle, where people can provide food, transportation. It's about
(13:50):
providing a service and helping others who might need some
extra support. All of these principles are at play within
Burning Man over these eight days, and of course it's
a human gathering, so things aren't always going to go
as planned, and you also have weather to contend with.
(14:10):
Last weekend news reports everywhere, headlines everywhere were a wash
with stories of people at Burning Man being washed out
by mud. Apparently mud was everywhere. They had a rainstorm,
a shower come through, and that just kicked up all
(14:31):
that dust out there in the desert and turned it
into a muddy, sloshy mess that people had to still
stay in if they were expecting to participate in Burning Man.
But apparently it decimated whole entire tents. People were walking
around covered in mud, and I imagine at first it
might be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Oh yeah, we're in mud.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Oh, but then after about an hour or less and
you want to wash it off and you can't. Now
you're scraping mud off or there's just no way to
contend with it. So you're out there and you're miserable,
and the heat in the rain, in the mud. It
also was said that mud was all over the portable
toilets they do provide toilets, and mud was caked all
(15:17):
inside of the toilets, all under or within the shade structures,
all inside of people's tints. And this type of mud
out there in the desert, it's alkaline, which means it's
even harder to get off. Water isn't the easiest, easiest
way to get this mud off. Vinegar became and becomes
(15:38):
a hot commodity, and it says here that spray bottles
of vinegar are highly valuable, so people are bartering spray
bottles of vinegar.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So now you have keep up with me. Here.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You have mud, you have people caked in mud, you
have toilets that are unusable, you have tints that are decimated.
This was last weekend. You have anger, because I'm sure
that's there, right. You have what people wanting to get
into this orgy tint and I'm going to get into
quickly in a moment. And you can't get the mud
off of yourself and you don't have deodorant. Sounds like
a lot of fun or soap or water, you know,
(16:13):
just sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
But for people it is this is what they go for.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Now, speaking about this famous orgy tint that we've all
been waiting for, potentially every year at burning Man, there's
a section of the festival that is under a tent
and it is, I believe, invite only. You have to
schedule this and it's very Yeah, it's kind of controlled.
I've never been, but in reading about it, it's a
(16:39):
very it's a place. It's popular, I'll say it's a
popular place at burning Man and people, single, couples, whatever
it may be, all go under this tint and they
they enjoy themselves for however long. And this tint is,
you know, it's rocking. Everybody knows. Everyone knows what you're doing.
(17:00):
One in that tent, it's the orgy tint. It's actually
labeled so people know exactly what it is. This year,
because of the storm, the orgy tent was decimated.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It was knocked down and wiped away by God.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Okay, who knows, but it was wiped away. People were
very upset, and in its place they put a symposium.
They said, you know, we can't actually do the physical
side of the orgy tint activities, but we can talk
about it, and you can gather here to talk about
what we would be doing should this orgy tent be erected, erected.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
See what you did there, erected. Thank you. It's okay,
I was waiting you see the pregnant pause.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It was on a different page, speaking.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Of pregnant pause.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Another story coming out of out of not the orgy Tent,
but hopefully not. This seems a little further along was
a woman who did not know she was pregnant. Her
name Kayla. No, it wasn't Kayla. Really, Kayla's her name.
Kayla's always know when they're pregnant.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
This is news to me.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
This Kayla was nine months pregnant, out there hanging out
at Burning Man, doing all the things. Burning the men
fell a twinge, told her boyfriend something's wrong, and she
went into active labor at Burning Man. And luckily, because
Burning Man is attended by everybody and everyone. There were doctors,
nurses and obgyn just happened to be there in their
(18:31):
loin cloth and their their metal masks and all their stuff.
And they ran over and all their regalia and helped
deliver that baby.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
And the baby's fine. It's a baby girl, would it?
KK name it? I don't know. Bernie Ma, okay, burning Ma, burning.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Ma, little little little Babyphylicia, little klemydie little Gonna. Risha
Crab No, okay, no, when we come back, we're gonna
no no more of that, no more. When we come back,
we're gonna talk about not that anymore. We're gonna talk
about another symptom. Or No, we're gonna get into our
(19:08):
Scammer's Gonna Scam segment and then we're gonna talk about
another symptom of ozempic. I'm excited about this symptom. Can't
wait to share it with you. But before we do,
Scammer's Gonna scam. On the other side of the break,
k IF I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Tiffany Hobbs here with you till seven. Then
Michael Monks comes aboard right here. Ok we are in
our Scammer's Gonna Scam segment. It's one of my favorite segments.
(19:31):
I get to tell you about all the ways in
which people are trying to separate you from your what money,
your money from your money. And this pair of stories
couldn't be more different, but they are conjoined. They are
connected by that simple fact that these are people who
are trying to get over on you and have you
(19:52):
send them money so that you will be broke. And
in the first story has to do with social media.
Often starts with social media. There are lots and lots
of ways to scam people using any one of those platforms,
and on Facebook specifically, I think you find more of
(20:12):
a demographic that is diverse in age. TikTok, the kids,
the twenties, maybe some olders, but mainly the youngers. Yes, olders, Kayla,
we're in the olders category. Sorry to tell you, all right,
all right, sorry to inform you or any olders.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Got a process.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And then Instagram probably is leaning a little bit younger
as well. But Facebook, Facebook is where you have your
granny and young uncle and your friends and the kids.
Even maybe it's a real wide range or spectrum of ages.
And one of the ways in which people on Facebook
(20:51):
are preyed upon is by feigning affection.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
What do I mean.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
There's a story and I happen to be following this.
It's not to make headlines, not yet anyway, but it
is something that I have been seeing happen on Facebook
for months. With one particular profile, there's a man, very
attractive picture, very very attractive. Man in this picture seems
to be in his forties maybe early fifties. Got the
(21:19):
salt and pepper beer, the beautiful smile, the straight teeth.
Don't look too closely, Kayla. Wonderful outfits, you know, the
body is really well preserved. This is, by all intents
and purposes, a very attractive man to anyone. But here's
the problem. The picture of this man has been attached
(21:41):
to no fewer than i'd say, twenty different profiles, different names.
One name David Williams, another name Dwayne, Ryan Scott Brown,
Chris Walker, Henry Morgan, John Morrison. One profile says he's widowed,
(22:04):
one profile says he's divorced. One profile said that he
was widowed starting on eight sixteen, twenty five. That's last
week that he became a widow. This person, this profile.
This picture is being used on numerous again, like I said,
numerous accounts to attract women. Here's what's happening. Women see
(22:30):
this guy, whoever his name is. It's always the same picture,
and you'll have other pictures.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Even video.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
So this person might this this person really does exist.
I don't think this is an AI deep fake. I
think this is a real, live human being who may
or may not know that their image is being used
to lure women or anyone into this sort of exchange.
But when this person reaches out to women, he befriends
(22:58):
women and on these different piles and then starts messaging them.
And when he reaches out, he apparently asks to communicate
on different social media apps or texting apps, the ones
that are what is it not encrypted or encrypted whatever
the secret of texting apps are. I don't know how
it goes, but the ones where the messages can't be found,
(23:20):
I guess he wants to communicate in secret. Is the
point he professes his love to you and says he
wants to marry you, and that he's on a contract
on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico or
whatever you want to call it. Call it, and he's
going to try and also get information from you, like
(23:42):
your bank account information, so he can send you money
from this oil rig because he loves you and he
wants to marry you.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Kayla.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I actually got a message from a really hot man
on TikTok not too long ago, and I am in
a relationship, but I was going to pass him with
my friend relationships exactly, and I am faith to my man,
and I was going to pass him off to my
friend if you lived in LA because this guy was
smoking hot, like stupid burning man.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
He's a burning wood. That man was burning. He was
a burning man. So I asked him where he lives.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
He's only the USA, and I'm like, that's a red
flag right there, because who says that? And then he said, Angel,
you're so pretty. You're pretty enough to be my sugar baby.
Really what I really want you to be, and I'm
glad if you can make it so you could be
my sugar baby.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I'm like, oh, this guy's a scammer. I'm not responding anymore.
I'm not going to send him to my friend. Now.
I'm going to my messages and it's a woman's page.
It's like his.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Pages is going now and in the page of a woman
he almost tried to still and now I guess he's
doing it as a.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Woman, now see. And this is the thing.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
If you weren't if you weren't knowledgeable, and you hadn't
investigated or just used kind of that common sense of
having media literacy or social media literacy, you might have
fallen for the USA location might not have been a
red flag. Everybody's looking to be taken care of, and
you're offering to be my sugar daddy.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, I mean, who.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Wouldn't Exactly so in this case, this profile eighteen or so,
twenty or so different accounts with the same pictures asking
you for information. One woman said, specifically, he's slick but
stupid enough to use the same pictures on several profiles
with different names and different about info. That he played
(25:20):
his game very convincingly. But I have no money to
give and do not take offers of money from men.
She goes, accept my husbands, sons or brothers. So, ma'am,
you're married and you were entertaining. This is what you
just confessed to, she said. And also, so since I
began questioning him about some things, he told me, Uh
it didn't really make some not very intelligible basically kind
(25:44):
of ghosted her. And she said, thank god he ghosted
her before it was too late. Ma'am, you're married. Why
would it be too late in the first place. But
she is one of the possible or could have been
one of the possible victims of this strange account. Now, Cale, I'm.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Gonna show you the picture of this guy. Look at this.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
Here you go, Ah, yeah, I love that beard. It's
very healthy, very handsome, very manly. God is good is
in his bio, and I am a sucker for a
man who loves the Lord.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
That's one of the twenty or so bios. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Because the thing about it too, is that in comments,
because I started clicking around since I've seen this picture
pop up numerous times on my Facebook profile. In comments
on these different accounts, you have one hundred comments. Eighty
of the women are like, oh, yes, I'll be your wife.
I love you, you look great, and they're complimenting him back,
trying to get his attention. And then you have the
(26:42):
others who were like, wait a minute, I've seen you before,
I sent you money and you didn't do anything, or
they identify him and tell women, Hey, be careful because
this guy is also under this name or that name.
But how sussepple our people to this sort of scam.
Speaker 10 (27:03):
Highly especially since we're technically and like a loneliness epidemic
running rampant.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It's absolutely playing on the vulnerabilities of people who are
looking for attention, especially by somebody who, like you said
this picture. This is a good looking dude and he's
offering to send you money. So imagine if it's a woman,
good looking woman, yeah, you know, Eric might take the bait,
and Eric then is going to send money to this woman.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Don't grab the mic? No, Eric, will you? I want
to know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm not sending any money to anything, nobody.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Somebody's offering to send you money a hot girl? You will?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
That's too good to be true.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Have you ever had someone in your social media profile
try to catfish you? Or catfishing is when you pretend
to be someone and you're.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Not not catfish But I've had the like sugar baby
bots the bottom. Yeah, but those are very clearly bought,
so you can I mean to.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You, yeah, to us, yeah, but like what about your
friends who don't know you know?
Speaker 8 (28:03):
No, but I mean, my grandpa almost got caught on
a phone scam one.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Time, see like a like a woman scam type thing.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
No, it was like someone pretending to be my cousins
asking him to send a money type situation.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Oh wow, I reported on that months ago or maybe
a year ago or so something like that.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
There was a big proliferation of those sorts of scams.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
He was like, I need like this is hey, my
cousin's name whatever, Like I need five thousand dollars like
I'm stuck like in college.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
And my grandpa almost went through with it, but he
luckily he called my uncle to like confirm first and
like he's like, no, yeah, he's fine, like doesn't need money,
Like we're all good.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Oh thank god. Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
H speaking of money and and none, I would say, well,
it's still kind of in the same vein of a
social media profile feigning attention to get something back from you.
This situation, our second store, our last story in Scammer's
Gonna Scam has to do with a woman in California,
right here at home, who almost lost it all. But
(29:02):
she did lose her home after being scammed by an
AI deep fake posing as an actor. So what happened
is she got into what she thought was an elaborate
romance with an actor from General Hospital. Yes, she thought
she was talking to an actor from General Hospital, and
(29:23):
that that actor Steve Burton, which ended up being an
AI deep fake, a digital recreation of this real, actual
human Steve Burton from General Hospital, This deep fake fake,
this poor woman, Abigail Revolcaba sixty six years old, into
sending him or it eighty one thousand dollars eighty one
(29:45):
thousand dollars because this deep fake kept saying I love.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You, I love you, I want to marry you. You're
my you know this, that and the other.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
She also agreed to sell her family's condo for three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and she sent the proceeds
to the scammer. She said it happened within less than
three weeks. The sale of the home was done and
it was over with, and this person, this scammer, ran
off with her money. She now has a GoFundMe page
(30:13):
to try and recoup some of the loss. But this
is this is the future, unfortunate, it's the present and
the future, and these scamming situations are not going away.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Uh, if you take ozempic, your weight might go.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Away, but something else, if you're a woman, might go
away as well, if you're a woman. Specifically, this is
specific to ladies. Now, I'll tell you what you might
lose that you don't want to let go of. I
know I don't want to lose mine, And apparently they're
going away. On the other side of the Break, Saturdays

few or, well if you have a picture of your
turtle or your, pet good good little hack tip something
(33:11):
else you might be searching. For should you lose this?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Thing? Unfortunately? Ladies your? Labia, Yes, nikki your? Labia what are?
Labia shall we dive into some science really? Quick?
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Well labia happened to be part of the genitalia of.
Women they make up the, outside if you, will of female. Genitalia, What,
kayla what are you? MOUTHING i don't think you want to?

if you take, ozimpic, unfortunately along with your weight, loss
you might lose the, fullness ladies of your. Labia they become, deflated.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
So like saggy and, wrinkley like they. Hang they lose
weight like go nads like they. Hang but hear me,
out aren't they? Going aren't women also? Going i'm not
saying that you should do this getting? Filler, yeah that's
WHERE i was going with.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
This, yes as a result of women losing the fullness
of their labia due to taking ozempic and other weight
loss drugs originally prescribed for, diabetes let's just say that
women are turning to plastic surgery and getting injections into
their labia to plump them back up because they do
(34:50):
not want to have quote unquote ozimpic. Vova, yes it's
called ozempic, voge which is that you can deflation and
then this is there and it's all moving, around and
it's moving around in ways that women don't. Want but
doctors are, saying not so, fast, relax don't do this so,
(35:12):
quickly even though it's a minimally invasive.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Process and although.
