On this episode we're taking a trip to Camelot to attend the court of America's favorite Irish family, the Kennedys. For part 1 of an upcoming 4 part series we examine the rise of Joe Kennedy and the war adventures of a young disease-riddled Jack Fitzgerald. So far it looks like nothing but smooth sailing for this rugged band of papists.

Grubstakers Podcast

Episode 227: The Kennedys Part 1

In this one we profile one of the most successful men on Wall Street, Bernie Madoff. We go from his early hardscrabble years trading penny stocks with his earnings from working as a lifeguard to his meteoric rise as one of the most successful and respected men in finance, netting consistent returns of 15-20%. We were particularly inspired by this man's story and hope you will be too.

(Patreon Unlocked)Episode 214: Bernie Madoff

Almost just in time for 4/20, the guys take a break from the billionaires grind for a low-key episode about some sketchy businesses. Steven's audio is messed up in this one because Andy forgot to press a button on the recorder and Andy is very sorry.

Episode 230: A Very Special 420 Episode

Dating's weird, isn't it? In this episode we're joined by the wonderful Kate Willett (@katewillett on Twitter) to explore the wild uncertainties of dating and the financial windfall available to those with the foresight to monetize it with a gimmick.

Episode 231 Teaser: Whitney Wolfe Herd (Bumble) feat. Kate Willett

It's another Buttigieg supporter and this time it's the man who invented MySpace for careerist psychopaths: LinkedIn. We've endorsed his skills at making less money selling his property to Microsoft than the Minecraft guy and rehabilitating Jeffrey Epstein. He also made an Apples to Apples ripoff called "Trumped Up Cards", which you can buy at trumpedupcards.com or alternatively put your money into a paper shredder.

{Patreon Unlocked} Episode 140: Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn)

This week we are taking a look at the Singh brothers. Malvinder Mohan Singh and Shivinder Mohan Singh the heirs to a generic pharmaceutical company that would be responsible for providing Africans with AIDS, junk drugs. A major source for this episode was A Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom by Katherine Eban. Sean is slowly being radicalized by RFK so a significant portion is spent on new theories as to why the world sucks. All that and more right here on Grubstakers.

(Patreon Unlocked) Episode 189: Malvinder Mohan Singh & Shivinder Mohan Singh (Ranbaxy Laboratories)

We looked at the similarities between empires collapsing of the past. Oddly enough we believe we found a pattern in the madness. Sean read a book about domestic Russian actors and asset stripping it's called Godfather of the Kremlin: The Decline of Russia in the Age of Gangster Capitalism by Paul Klebnikov. Many Russian accents, Drago impressions, and dark truths of our futures past?

Episode 240: The collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia in the 90s (Part 1)

This week we talk about William Shu the CEO of Deliveroo. Rhymes are fun. Anyways, we talk about how he came up with this brilliant idea of getting food delivered to you. What a genius! The twist is instead of trying to compete in America he decided to subjugate the minorities and impoverished into delivering food as "Independant Contractors" in the UK instead. SPICY. All because he wanted to order 25 whoppers at Morgan Stanley. Comment below if you think this will be the first episode that doesn't have a connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

Episode 249: Russ Weiner, Michael Savage, & Rockstar Energy feat. Felix Biederman

This episode we sit down with Mike Recine of the "The Sit Down with Mike Recine Podcast" podcast. 

Basically, the thesis statement of this episode is. 9/11 needs to be properly investigated with an actual qualified 3rd party investigation. NOT a Bush investigating the Bush's. Along the way we are going to talk about some conspiracy theories and their legitimacy in some cases.... wait... where are you going? COME BACK! Seriously, there is some stuff involved with the financial market that gets covered, and let's face it, Larry Silverstein who owned the buildings involved in the attacks, was pulling some pretty shady ass shit, and by pretty I mean VERY. So just give it a listen with an open mind, but of course at the end of the day you're all smart people, otherwise you wouldn't be listening to our podcast. However, the original investigation, was flawed, and I don't think anyone can deny that.

Ep 250 Larry Silverstein and the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks feat. Mike Recine

This week the boys sit down with John F. O'Donnell to chat about O.G. (Old German) Klaus Schwab. You heard of DAVOS? Dat's dis dude. If you thought we talked a big conspiracy game in our last episode dear listeners, then buckle up. We're about to drop some red hot William Gibson shit in your lap today. Oh and Greta Thunberg says hi! She's not on the show, she just seems nice so I imagine she would say hi to you, as she distracts you from the assimilation. 

We use this article as a really great reference in the episode, so here is the hot sauce.

In the wake of the Falcon Heavy launch many are wondering about the story of Elon Musk, the man who single handedly took credit for the work of countless SpaceX engineers. From his origins founding Zip2 with money his father earned from the apartheid government of South Africa to his tireless fight against the scourge of unionization we discuss what is known about this mysterious man and his journey to the front page of Reddit.

The richest politician in history? In episode 3 we explore the life and works of the billionaire former mayor of New York City.

Episode 83: Jeffrey Epstein (Part 2) feat. Matt Christman and Nick Mullen

Today on Grubstakers we're talking Naval Ravikant. He's known for creating AngelList, getting a bunch of money from Uber, and having one hell of a dumb brother. He was also on Rogan which makes him one of those dumb guy's smart billionaires. We also talk Epstein some more, because that shit continues to be wild.

Episode 91: Naval Ravikant

In this 3 part special series we explore the bank of credit and commerce international, or BCCI, the forgotten banking scandal of the century.

Episode 111: The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (Part 1)

It's the IKEA episode on furniture entrepreneur and "not a nazi anymore" Ingvar Kamprad. We discuss Ingvar's innovations in do-it-yourself furniture, made-from-illegally-logged-wood furniture, crafted-by-child-slaves furniture, and crushes-your-toddler furniture. It's one of our more light-hearted episodes.

Episode 122: Ingvar Kamprad (IKEA)

We take a deep dive on two of the world's youngest billionaires, Victoria-Katharina Flick and Karl Friedrich Flick (born 1999). How did they get so rich? Well, hard work and inheriting their grandfather's slave labor war crimes fortune. That's right: many of the people who carried out and profited from the holocaust were able to pass on the profits they accumulated first to their children and then to their grandchildren. The effects of that stolen wealth are still being felt today, but remember the rich are only rich because they do more for society than the rest of us!

Patreon Teaser Episode 205: Woody Johnson and the giant umbrella of death that is J&J

For our first episode of 2021 we're joined by the one and only Glenn Greenwald to discuss the January 6th riots at the DC Capitol Building and what the media reaction to them can tell us. In particular we focus on the long term plan to codify "domestic terrorism" as a federal crime and speak about why it is so disturbing to see so many embracing war on terror rhetoric to describe Trump supporters. Glenn has extensive and well known experience reporting on the global war on terror and he walks us through some of the most egregious examples of what we can expect to see as President-elect Biden and many in Congress call for bringing that war to the homeland. Also we make a hail mary plea for the pardons of Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and other deserving recipients.

Episode 213: The Coming Domestic War on Terror feat. Glenn Greenwald

This month we take a stab at covering the business of animals. To kick off this extravaganza of corruption we speak with animal rights activist and founder of SHARK (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness) about the corruption/thievery within animal charities such as PETA, the threat that factory farming poses against climate change and the effect the media has to dumb down the individual, which leads us to admiring animal abusers such as Joe Exotic. 

Support Shark by donating to them, watching their videos on YouTube or even just telling a friend about the reality of the dystopian present we live in.
