767 - The Bad Lieutenant's Benevolence Association feat. Sam Lipman-Stern and Adam Bhala Lough (9/14/23)
🕑 Added 2023-09-15 02:00:01 +0000 UTCThe directors of HBO’s Telemarketers stop by to discuss their doc series. We look into how the Fraternal Order of Policeman’s association is obviously and willingly complicit in a multi-billion dollar telemarketing fraud, the character of New Jersey, the folk hero Patrick J. Pespas, Sam’s legendary media management, and much more!

Pat and these guys should go on Michael & Us, since they all share common bonds towards Michael Moore!
Good brain haver
Okay, I listened more. I can say that this is the worst episode since the boys interviewed Rod Blagoyavich.

Love when one of your interviewees is audibly calling in from a moving vehicle. Extremely good, nice to listen to.

In the ‘80s I worked for a place like this for a couple of weeks, but it was boring because it was legit. It was in NYC, and the clients were mostly involved in politics. CTTOI, I was only around 21 or so, so the more hardened types might have been up to some shenanigans.

Me too
Matt's anecdote about selling tickets to a Beatles cover band to benefit firefighters made me remember that I believe that's a job once held by infamous To Catch a Predator lolcow Lorne Armstrong. I feel sad that I possibly know that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

"There are legitimate police unions. There are great incredible non-profits out there." 🚩🚨🚩🚨🚩🚨

Due to the fact that im not 6 years old i was able to understand what they meant with the “generosity” point, as kind of a symptom of American consumerism leaving ppl prone to these scams, rather than interpreting it as them saying that the problem with america is that everyone is too nice. Hope the rest of u start to become more normal👍
