Notriously riddled with scandal, Penn State recently upped the anti with a fraternity led coke ring. Ron Funches joined Laci Mosley for a dive into the horrors of campus life in America. Together they try to figure out who else might have snitched, how long you can stay on the line when you know about the drug operation in the basement, and why Penn State became a party school.  SUPPORT RON:  https://ronfunches.com/2025/ SOCIALS: Ron Funches: @RonFunches Laci Mosley: @divalaci    WE'RE ON YOUTUBE: Join us on YouTube!

BookTok used to be the place where readers went to argue about their favorite authors, ship the gays, and learn which creatures their friends were sexually attracted to, and now, like all good things, it's being used to scam. Writer and comedian Ashley Ray joins Laci to discuss the Fyre Fest of book link-ups. A shared cabin, no food, in the middle of the wilderness could be a good time if properly funded; instead, it left a pack of women and one very nice male author hungry and feeling ripped off.
