Grubstakers

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!

Our 50th episode is a real car bomb under a mafia prosecutor's vehicle. We're discussing the life and times of billionaire former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi. Hear all about how he launched a political career for the inspiring reason of keeping himself out of prison and how his only crime was party rocking too hard. Mafia money, corruption, a fascist revival, bunga bunga: it's all here on Grubstakers.

This week we cover the NFL outlaw Jerry Jones. We cover everything from his dad’s alcoholic behavior at the White Pig Inn, to how he allegedly almost got a loan from Jimmy Hoffa and how he rules the brightest star the Dallas Cowboys. All of this is enhanced by special guest Joel Walkowski. Follow him on twitter @theWALKOWSKI Follow us @Grubstakerspod Follow your heart.

This week we are back with a tale from across the pound the harbinger of corruption in India, the golden son of Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani. Join us as we discuss the finer points of why someone who throws a 100 million dollar wedding, tears down an orphanage to build Antilia the worlds most expensive home for non orphans (no orphans allowed) and lastly how briefcases filled with cash greased the wheels until the Ambani's ended up on easy street. Enjoy!

Here's your promised New Year's bonus episode with not one but two Jho Low recordings as delivered to us from the aether. Take this one to the gym with you 'cause it's our hottest track to date.

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!

On this episode we cover the capitalistic escapade of Michel Milken. How he cheated his way to billions why people defend him to this day, and we rag on this dudes face a lot. Join us on another episode asking the question is there such a thing as a good billionaire? Enjoy!

This week we cover the master of disaster Vince McMahon. We cover how this trailer park child of abuse goes on to create an empire of people who are in various stages of drug addiction, CTE issues, and sexual abuse. Sean and Steven are absent on our discussion of this megalomaniac, and fortunately we are joined by wrestling savant Benel Germonsen! Follow him @Benel_Germosen check out his podcast Talking Naruto. Enjoy!

This week's episode follows the foibles of adorably corrupt leech on the state Ananda Krishnan. Hear all about how he was able to fund the 1985 Live Aid concert by jumping in bed with kleptocratic regimes in Indonesia and the Philippines, how he became a billionaire through the hard work of getting a monopoly gambling license from Malaysia, and how his friendship with the current Prime Minister makes it unlikely he'll be charged for his role in the 1MDB fraud.

CORRECTIONS: There is no evidence Ananda Krishnan was divorced. Also Tim Leissner/Goldman Sachs did the IPOs for Maxis, Ananda's cellular company, in 2002 and Astro, Ananda's satellite company, in 2003. In the episode we mix up the two companies when discussing Tim's role.
