Legendary comedian Margaret Cho joins the CONgregation as a self-proclaimed deacon. Margaret helps Laci uncover the surprising connection between Prince, Michael Jackson, and the art of smooth talk—and how it all leads to wire fraud scammer Tanya Smith, who, to her chagrin, is the last person you’d expect to pull one over on the FBI. Laci and Margaret also dive into a "purr-fectly" peculiar lesson about buying a new pet with gift cards and so much more. Stay schemin'!

Check out Margaret's new single "Lucky Gift" and tickets to her Live and Livid stand-up tour are on sale now at https://margaretcho.com/tour/
