Prophet Playoff Theory is back — and this time we're breaking down the NFC West! We start with the lonely Arizona Cardinals. Are they a team without direction, or is there actually a plan in place? Kev asks the big question: Do the Cardinals give Carson Beck a real shot at quarterback?Then we get to the first Super Bowl-or-bust team: the Los Angeles Rams. Aaron Donald is BACK, Matthew Stafford is coming off an MVP season, the Rams traded for superstar Myles Garrett, and Sean McVay remains one of the best coaches in football. With all that firepower, is anything short of a Super Bowl appearance a failure for LA?Next up, the San Francisco 49ers. They've been in the headlines for plenty of reasons this offseason, not including football related means— but can they put the noise behind them and make another championship run? And is this ultimately their last “Go For It” year with this core? Finally, the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are chasing back-to-back titles. But with Klint Kubiak leaving for Las Vegas and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker now in Kansas City, will the offense take a step back? Rashad says the Seahawks are underrated… but are they REALLY?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.

Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________ #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Supreme McGriff Jr. grew up in Queens not fully understanding who his father was until the stories, the attention, and the weight of the name Kenneth Supreme McGriff started shaping everything around him — while his mother worked to keep him away from the path that had defined his father's legacy and the federal prison sentence that followed it. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what finding out his father is Kenneth Supreme McGriff actually produced in him, what his upbringing in Queens really looked like with that name attached to everything, what his own trouble with scamming and his time on Rikers Island actually involved, what deciding to create an Instagram account with his father's name attached to his own actually set in motion — the celebrities who reached out, the stories with Mike Tyson, the 50 Cent beef, and the complete truth about what carrying one of the most recognized and most feared names in New York street history actually costs the son who never chose it. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #RikersIsland #supreme #50Cent #prisonstories _____________________________________________ Thank you to HUNGRYROOT & AG1 for sponsoring this episode: Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Connect with Supreme McGriff Jr: https://www.instagram.com/supreme_mcgriff/?hl=en _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Growing Up In Queens 01:02 Discovering My Father's Identity 03:13 My Dad's Life And Their Split 05:17 Life Before Knowing The Truth 07:31 Learning About My Dad From The Streets 09:39 The 50 Cent Connection 10:02 Law Enforcement's Perspective 11:21 Meeting My Dad For The First Time 13:41 First Phone Call With Supreme 14:28 Advice And Avoiding The Streets 16:17 Inevitable Pull Of The Streets 17:37 Uncle Comes Home From Prison 18:08 Street Culture Today 19:40 Dad's Fear For My Safety 22:16 Bill Courtney And The Movie 24:29 Sponsor: Hungry Root 27:11 Finding Myself In My Late Teens 29:25 Introduction To Scamming 30:38 Mom Discovers The Truth 32:36 Dad Finds Out I'm Scamming 35:26 Turning Myself In 36:44 Incarceration And Identity 38:23 Why Scamming Over Drugs 39:17 My Rikers Experience 43:28 Keeping My Identity Private In Jail 48:48 Life After Rikers 51:33 Finding My Path 53:17 Going Viral With 50 Cent's Son 55:20 Trolling And Building A Brand 56:04 The Brother Rumor 59:59 First Celebrity Encounters 01:01:31 Interviews And 50 Cent Questions 01:03:06 Biggest Conspiracy Theories 01:04:43 Dad's Take On My Interviews 01:06:47 Supreme Clothing Brand Connection 01:08:13 Mike Tyson Saved My Life 01:13:23 A Movie About My Dad 01:14:48 Thoughts On Meech 01:19:39 Challenging Lil Meech To A Fight 01:25:09 My Current Businesses 01:27:16 Relationship With My Dad Now 01:30:08 Hope For My Dad's Release 01:32:24 My Dad's Legacy 01:33:09 Changing My Last Name 01:33:34 Meeting My Half Sister 01:34:11 My Mom's Thoughts On My Fame 01:35:27 The Hit On My Mom 01:37:28 What If I Never Knew _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka
A recent suggestion for getting more people to play Sorare was shot down because of one major concern: what if people abuse it by multi-accounting?Which led us to a question we never thought we'd ask...Is Sorare even WORTH scamming?On today's SorareAndrews, Laird and Black take a tongue-in-cheek look at Sorare's concerns around multi-accounting, how much managers could realistically gain from exploiting certain promotions, and whether the fear of abuse is actually holding back ideas that could make the game more fun and accessible.Obviously, we're not encouraging anyone to scam Sorare. But if every new incentive has to account for people trying to game the system, how much should that affect the experience for everyone else?We'll discuss that, the current state of Sorare, and plenty more on today's show.

We Created the Monster | Ern and Iso PodcastDid we create the very culture we're complaining about?In this solo episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast, Ern takes a deeper look at the backlash surrounding Yung Miamifollowing her BET Awards performance and the viral success of her song "Scamming." After comments from India Arie and a response from Trick Daddy, social media quickly turned the conversation into a debate about morality, responsibility, and the influence of music.But are we asking the wrong question?This episode explores whether we've placed unrealistic expectations on entertainers while ignoring the role that audiences play in deciding what becomes popular. If millions of people stream, share, dance to, and celebrate a song, who is ultimately shaping the culture—the artist or the consumer?Ern also discusses:Should entertainers be held to a higher moral standard?Why do we expect perfection from celebrities?Can music influence behavior without being solely responsible for it?Why positive and uplifting music often struggles to reach the same audience.The balance between artistic freedom and social responsibility.Why the listeners have more power than they realize.The episode closes by reflecting on a powerful message from India Arie: while no artist owes the public perfection, the power of words is real—and with influence comes responsibility.This isn't just about one artist or one song.It's about all of us.
Oh boy we got a lot to cover. On this edition, Ked discusses the controversy behind India.Arie and her comments towards Yung Miami's "Spend Dat".

Prosecutors say Batino took a total of $2 million from dozens of church members, telling them they were investing in a rehab facility that actually never existed.

Scamming of your funds The Girls are all HOT BUT NOT REAL No video calls In fact no calls at all -- All Texting LISTEN IN and Get educated
Nikki St. Paul came into Jess's world when her business couldn't logically justify the investment. She deleted the message saying she was in. Jess had already screenshotted it. Muhaha.That moment .. the pull-back, the fear winning for about 24 hours, is where this conversation starts. And what happened in the months after is exactly what Jess talks about but rarely gets to show in real time: identity shifting not through strategy, but through the decision to move anyway, even when the obstacles are literal. Including a bank fraud team that needed to be convinced on a five-hour time difference that a near $30K wire transfer was not a scam.In this episode, Jess sits down with Nikki to trace the full arc .. from a low-ticket micro offer entry point, through Quarter Carnage, through the Ascension tier, to launching her own mastermind and selling out VIP spots for her live event in 48 hours. Not because she had the evidence or the revenue to justify each step. Because she stopped letting logic run the decision.What you'll hear: what the resistance actually looks and feels like at each stage (including nausea), why every obstacle that showed up was the identity work, not a sign to stop, what embodiment actually means when you stop treating it as a concept and start living it as a standard, and what Nikki would say to anyone sitting on the fence right now.Spoiler: she's very direct about it.

Scam emails used to be obvious. Bad grammar, generic messaging, easy to ignore. That version is gone.Today's scams sound like a real professional—someone who's “read your book,” understands your audience, and has a polished, confident plan to grow your sales, land media, or build your platform. It feels legitimate because it's designed to. AI has fundamentally changed the scam landscape, and authors are now a prime target.We see these pitches every day—forwarded by authors who aren't quite sure what feels off, but know something isn't right. Fake PR firms. Fake podcast booking services. Fake reader communities. Even impersonators posing as established marketers and recognizable industry names. The volume is up, the quality is higher, and the financial risk is real.In this episode, we break down exactly how these scams are built so you can recognize them before you engage. You'll hear how flattery is engineered to disarm you, why vague “big picture” strategies are a deliberate tactic, and how scammers create just enough surface credibility to pass a quick Google search. We also walk through the critical moment every scam converges on: pushing you to pay quickly, before you've had time to verify anything.More importantly, we give you a clear, practical framework to protect yourself. What unsolicited outreach actually signals. Why free email domains should immediately slow you down. How artificial urgency (“only two spots left”) is used to bypass your judgment. And why “guaranteed results” without defined deliverables is one of the biggest red flags in book marketing.We also cover payment risk—where things like wire transfers and crypto remove your ability to recover funds—and the proactive steps you should be taking now to protect your author identity, including locking down your domain and social handles before someone else does.If you've ever received a pitch that felt a little too polished, a little too perfect, this episode will recalibrate how you evaluate every offer that lands in your inbox.Listen now, then share this with an author who needs it.Subscribe, leave a review wherever you listen, and text PODCAST to 888-402-8940 with the strangest (or most convincing) scam message you've received.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

A major thing I've uncovered in my reporting is that most of the H-1B-related scams are coming from Hyderabad, India. Instead of reporting that, CBS News went there and pushed the narrative that the city is a Silicon Valley-like tech hub whose workers are more skilled than Americans. Meanwhile, the visa scammer I exposed in my last H-1B video has scrubbed his Instagram of incriminating videos to cover for himself ... but we have the receipts. RINO Rep. Tony Gonzales (Texas) gets exposed in another sexual harassment scandal. President Trump signs an executive order to restructure college sports. ► Here's my initial H-1B investigation that started it all: https://youtu.be/9sfeESywMUs?si=hoEI2Ab9z-tEqy0C ► Watch my latest H-1B visa scam video, where I confronted a food truck worker: https://youtu.be/iIsYhVSQCM0?si=_AQ6zoM3v72was-k ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► MDHearing Go to https://www.ShopMDHearing.com and use promo code SARA to get a pair of hearing aids for just $247. ► BlazeTV Head over to https://www.blazetv.com/sara and subscribe today.

Visa scammers aren't just taking advantage of the H-1B program — they're also using the H-4 loophole to scam the system. A former Los Angeles Unified School District employee and a tech company owner with a history of H-1B sponsorships were accused of carrying out a $22 million money laundering scheme in Los Angeles. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) can't find the time to vote for the SAVE America Act but has plenty of time to skip town for a trip to Disney World. Kristi Noem's husband got exposed for allegedly being a cross-dresser. The Supreme Court sides with a Christian counselor in an 8-1 decision and rejects Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. Former Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) joins the show to discuss the Department of Labor's new proposal that would remove restrictions on alternative 401(k) investments. ► Watch my latest H-1B visa scam video: https://youtu.be/iIsYhVSQCM0?si=_AQ6zoM3v72was-k ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► BlazeTV You can go to https://www.faucicoverup.com/SARA and use code SARA for $40 off a full subscription.
