Parker Valby says she quit after SECs

I'm not disputing that she's likely upper middle class, but could she just have relatively expensive habits? I'd be shocked if she's paying anything and she probably has a NIL deal or two so she could be getting spending money from that; her parents could also be giving her a large allowance as they're not paying anything.

But I can't wrap my head around her getting scammed out of $20k, let alone through CashApp - I never had that much money on hand and sure as hell wouldn't send 40 credit card payments all of $500 dollars. Maybe if I liquidated most of my trading accounts I could (I mostly got lucky with one stock that grew a lot - I only started with $5k) but I can't imagine not seeing that something is amiss.

Wow the mods are out in force.

She talks on the podcast about spending large amounts daily on kombucha, having a boat and blowing $20k in one day on this scam. But I can't say middle class kids would not do that and she is probably from a rich family?

Typical middle class and poor college kids don't have access to that kind of cash to blow. Cashapp is for cash, not credit.

This was the first Running Effect podcast that I listened to, and I was impressed. Good rapport and flowing conversation, good podcast voice, just a nice experience. Others on this forum had me thinking this was some second rate stuff, but there's enough in this single interview to fuel probably a dozen more pages of discussion here. Thanks for sharing.

I know Dominic gets a lot of hate on here, but outside of the Shelby fiasco it’s my favorite running podcast. The guests he gets on are the best in the sport. I haven’t yet seen a running podcast get on so many top HS/NCAA/Pro guests all within a same period.

why does he get hate?

She said she’s spent upwards of $45 on Kombucha in one day and laughs at Dominic when he says he doesn’t go to coffee shops much. I like Parker and her personality but she definitely comes from an upper class background where money isn’t an issue.

I think he was criticized for spamming a bit, but mainly the Shelby podcast

admittedly I haven't listened ot the podcast but when I talked to her at NCAAs, I was kind of surprised how difficiult she made it sound. I was then and am still thinking, "You won NCAAs under Palmer. You didn't under Solinsky. Solinsky abandoned you mid-season."Unless this was a sitaution where she ignored the coaching staff's workouts and did her own thing, I'd say keep doing what you are doing with them.

You’re being facetious - I hope

Palmer just came in. It was Solinsky that coached her all along at Florida. How do you assume that within several months Palmer is the one who gets all the credit??? And Solinsky didn’t “abandon” her. He got a great job offer that makes sense for his career.

One has to believe that the result would have been the same under Solinsky, since the only person to beat her, KT, was not in the race. Something tells me Palmer didn’t really do a whole lot for her other than get her from the warm up area to the call room.

I don't know if enough people here are on tiktok to remember this kerfuffle, but earlyish in the pandemic (early enough that people in Florida were actually taking precautions) Parker posted a tiktok that was essentially a video of her looking disgusted with a caption like "when the maid can't come because of covid, so Mom says I have to clean my room myself." She deleted it after enough people commented saying how tone-deaf it was.

I don't think we should pile on Parker- she would have been only 18 or 19 at that time, and if she only grew up around other people with money she really may have been too sheltered to realize that the video wouldn't have landed with many. But yeah, if she's in the position to be making that tiktok and sheltered enough not to see how it wouldn't seem that funny when many people were losing their jobs or having to make actual sacrifices due to a virus that literally killed many, it definitely seems as though she comes from a wealthy family.

If you don't believe that she will go far in life, you are not being honest with yourself. She is likeable and is better looking than anyone in the real world.

So this time it was cosine not tangent

That is good stuff right there!

Yes, but usually it doesn't work that quickly and especially not when you're going through a third-party app such as cash app, so all the bank's proprietary defense measures usually fail and it is up to the developer to detect unusual activities. However, with apps like cash app, it's common to have many transactions in a relatively short period of time and from what I gather from the podcast, she had to go speak to a person to keep sending money and this person even warned her that she shouldn't fall for a scam.

Bottom line, I cannot fathom how a young seemingly educated person could be tricked into such a bs scheme. Sending thousands of dollars for missing jury duty because a letter got lost in the mail? Common...
