Peak Fraud & Sherpa Shenanigans w/ Ginger Minj

Fresh off the LIVE Scam Goddess tour, Laci is joined by the fabulous drag icon Ginger Minj (Hocus Pocus 2, Stop! That! Train!). Together, they chat about Ginger’s love for Wawa, mourn the loss of Spirit Airlines, and dig into the monumental scams surrounding Mount Everest expeditions, from fake rescues and insurance fraud to dangerous labor disputes and growing tensions between wealthy climbers and the Sherpas who make their summits possible. So much high altitude drama! Stay schemin’!

Keep the scams coming and snitch on your friends by emailing us at ScamGoddessPod@gmail.com.

Check out Ginger's comedy film: Stop! That! Train! premiering in theaters on June 12, 2026.
