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.

Episode 227: The Kennedys Part 1

Unlocked for Easter: On this special ep we talk about The Vatican, from its humble beginnings with Jesus destroying the tables of money changers to its modern era as a destroyer of massive international banks. We also talk about the stuff with the kids.

Patreon Unlocked Episode 100: The Vatican

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

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.

We also discuss the bankruptcy of Toys R Us, how much blame private equity deserves for the wipeout of 33,000 workers, and what we might expect to happen if private equity owned companies continue to go bankrupt.

Join us as we discuss the many misdeeds of Henry Paulson. From his time at Goldman Sachs wrestling his boss to the time he let his pet raccoon roam free in his house listen to all the silly adventures of the Paulson saga. We also discuss how as CEO of Goldman Sachs he helped create the 2008 financial crisis through the selling of fraudulent mortgage backed securities and the purchasing of credit default swaps on them from AIG then operated the bailouts in a way to cover up his role in the crisis. Less silly.

Episode 34: Hank Paulson and the 2008 Financial Crisis

This week we talk Stewart and Lynda Resnick, the billionaires who use more water than the city of LA. They want to squeeze every drop of water from the Californian public to keep a stranglehold on the bland nut market. They want to starve the people of Iran for the same reason. They also went to the supreme court to fight for the right to lie about how good pomegranates are for penises. Also, we recorded this in Andy's room for the first time so we did a live intro for the fuck of it. Happy Holidays!

Part 1 of 3 in our dive in to Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and the weird world of early Google. Parts 2 and 3 are focused on Google's shady business practices, but this one focuses more on fucking. Turns out these weirdos fuck. Look at that picture of them. Pretty gross. Also, we got a midi keyboard to do our drops!

Episode 53: Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Part 1)

Enter if you dare tighten your seatbelt it’s time for Grubstakers.

Hear all about how the CIA put him in business, how his crappy database software became ubiquitous thanks to his government backing, how he almost destroyed his company with shady accounting practices, and why people are so mad at him on seekingarrangements.com. If this episode is buggy and of low quality don't worry we'll patch it later. It's what Larry would have wanted.

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. We discuss this worse than Watergate scandal and the reasons why it's been hushed up including its links to Iran-Contra, the CIA, the Mossad, weapons trafficking, global terrorism, and yes, Jeffrey Epstein

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

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!

Episode 171: Giovanni "Gianni" Agnelli, L'Avvocato ("The Lawyer")

For our triumphant return from summer vacation we profile the Fanjul brothers, two Florida billionaires who had to flee their native Cuba when Fidel Castro came to power. This may have had something to do with the fact that they trace their wealth to slave run sugar plantations and their former mansion is now a museum to the cruelty of the sugar industry in Cuba. Since arriving in the US they've been showered with plentiful subsidies and price supports and they've found even found new workers to abuse and exploit by using the H-2 visa program and by looking the other way at the trafficking of desperately impoverished Haitians in the Dominican Republic. If you're looking for motivation to consume less sugar and more vegetables this episode is here to make the case.
