Pat J Pespas is definitely still alive. I’m pretty sure he’s been doing some marketing for this show.

Disappointed that the new ep dropped and I don’t see a single Patrick JAYYYYY Pespas post


Really enjoying this episode, the guys are super likeable and I almost wish I was with them driving around the country doing investigative journalism. Looks like such a blast.

Solid last episode. Tommy is a PSYCHO

Someone needs to send some officers to his house to check the premises.

I got through about half of the episode before I started falling asleep, so I'll have to finish it tonight.

How many episodes are there total?

Just 3 episodes, so this was the final one.

**Somewhat spoilers**





It's a bit of a bummer that nothing really ever comes of any of it. They manage to even get a meeting with this dickhead who couldn't be more disinterested in what they had to say especially once they pointed out the PACs were involved. Its a fun watch especially with all of the great footage they have but its a bit dissatisfying that nothing ever happens.

Just finished it as well. I couldn't get enough. I feel like this was a comedy in some respects. Patrick J Serpas name, his lisp, missing teeth, fumbling interviews, calling the chief the wrong name when he had a chance to get a word in.

Filthy scheme the telemarketers use. I seem to get a couple calls a year from them myself and I never gave but felt guilty hanging up.

Blumenthal sucked so bad.

Finished it last night.

Yeah that was so disappointing. He clearly walked in and had absolutely no intention of doing anything to help them. And in a way, I get it. But man, he apparently used to be so anti these kinds of scams and now doesn't seem to give a single frick that they are still rolling along and scamming people out of money.

It almost felt like he's the career politician now and knows how the game works, and knows to keep his mouth shut and make his own money.

Enjoyed this doc though. It was a cool time capsule kind of thing seeing the old videos.

As dumb as this sounds, I found the series inspiring.

Two guys with questionable pasts and limited resources were able to put their minds together and relentlessly annoy and try to bring eyes to something that is obviously 100% wrong and corrupt.

Not sure how many people will watch this series. However, I have no doubt it will bring attention to at least some people thinking twice before taking the telemarketing pitch and thinking they are being helpful with a donation.

Just watched this after Dopesick/Painkillers/Pharmacist.

It saddens me greatly to see that our govt is inept and corrupt at every level whether it be city/state/federal.

We need a revolution.

Pretty haunting when he said he thinks about how he's going to OD one day.

I wonder if Sabrina ever found her dream man?

yet another entry in the scourge of the ever popular "docuseries." Where they drag it out about 100% longer than it needs to be.

You are probably right, but I at least like watching the footage, even when the footage is pointless. Something nostalgic about old camcorder footage from days past, pre-smart phone mania.

I agree that it was longer than it needed to be, but at least it was only three episodes. The worst ones are when it’s a super interesting subject and they have six episodes and should have like 2-3.
