This week (recorded June 5, 2018), the weird news stars aligned to bring the ladies several exposés related to con men/women, faked identities, and good old scams. Cate kicks things off with some random headlines followed by a story about a Russian journalist who faked his death to prove an assassination attempt. In Pop Culture, Liz reports on an insane attempted murder lawsuit involving Courtney Love, Britney Spear's ex-manager Sam Lufti, and Ross Butler of Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why fame (come again?). In Crime Time, the ladies take on the bizarre case of NYC fraudulent socialite Anna Delvey and how she conned her way through hotels, meals, trips, and friendships. In Sports, Liz reports on the strange case of Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Bryan Colangelo and his connection to 5 fake Twitter accounts that have been spreading private information about players, criticizing members of the coaching staff, and taunting beat reporters. As always, the ladies wrap things up sharing their results from this week's BuzzFeed quiz - This "Would You Rather" Quiz Will Reveal What Kind Of Friend You Are. This one is super hard! All this and so much more!
