On the latest episode of Fully Loaded, hosts Boots & Melz break down some of the internet’s most jaw-dropping stories, from bizarre dating strategies to multi-million-dollar crypto scams. The duo reacts to viral clips, sharing their unfiltered takes and throwing in some much-needed warnings along the way.
Dating Hacks or Red Flags?
The episode kicks off with some unconventional (and questionable) dating strategies making rounds on social media.
The Depop Dating Method – A creator suggests using the clothing marketplace Depop as a secret dating app, filtering listings by size, scoping out attractive sellers, and sliding into their messages under the pretense of buying clothes.
Café & Bookstore Trick – Another viral dating tip encourages men to bring a book to a café and pretend to read, claiming that women will approach them because they’re “nosy” and drawn to self-improving men.
Health Horror Story: A Costly First Date
One man shared a nightmare experience after meeting a woman on Hinge:
He ignored the red flag of her messy car, went back to her place, and the next morning, woke up with swollen, infected eyes. After a trip to the doctor and a round of antibiotics, he’s now considering wearing swimming goggles for future encounters. Boots & Melz couldn’t help but roast the situation, warning viewers to vet their dates more carefully.
Scams & Schemes: Don’t Get Played
The hosts dive into two major scam stories—one from the ‘90s and another ripped straight from today’s headlines.
The Fake Millionaire Marriage – A 1990s TV special called Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire turned out to be a complete fraud. Contestants competed for a mystery millionaire, only to find out he was a struggling comedian living in a regular house. The scandal blew up after the winner annulled the marriage immediately, leading to the show’s cancellation.
Crypto Heist of the Century – In a modern-day cautionary tale, a 20-year-old scammer named Malone and his crew pulled off a $230 million Bitcoin theft by pretending to be tech support and stealing an investor’s private keys. His spending spree was legendary—renting a $68K/month Miami mansion, collecting 30+ exotic cars, and dropping $500K at clubs. But his luck ran out when a crypto vigilante tracked him down, leading to an FBI arrest and potential 20-year prison sentence.
More Viral Moments
The episode also featured a few quick-hit stories:
Racist Service Sticker – A woman discovered a racial slur written on her car’s oil change sticker, prompting backlash and a dealership in another state gifting her a brand-new electric vehicle as an apology.
Car Dealership Prank – A viral clip showed someone successfully pretending to be a dealership employee, exposing just how easy it is to blend in at a workplace.
Youth & Gun Violence – A brief but serious discussion arose after a video surfaced of young people flashing firearms, raising concerns about street violence and social media’s influence on the youth.
Boots & Melz wrapped up the episode with an important PSA on crypto scams, reminding viewers that legit companies like Coinbase won’t call or text about account issues. Whether it’s dating advice or financial decisions, the message is clear—do your research and don’t get played.
