Every era has thieves, but only some have taste! Laci welcomes Olympic medalist and podcaster Adam Rippon (Intrusive Thoughts) to break down today’s loudest wig heists, from ripping your own wig off and offering it to Beyoncé, to stealing them from boutiques, to snatching them right off people’s heads. Plus wig thieves may be shocked to discover they follow in the footsteps of a rich, 300-year history of literal wig-snatchers. Stay schemin’!
