    47. The Wolf of Wall Street?: Jordan Belfort

    Everyone loves a comeback story, well this ain't one of them. We're talking about Martin Scorsese helped to promote an otherwise average con man into one of the biggest figures on the bro-finance internet. We're talking movies, penny stocks, fake apology tours, and, of course, crypto. That's right, it's Jordan Belfort.

    45: Grifter Updates

    45: Grifter Updates

    It's the first show of 2023 and we've decided to check in on a few of the grifters we've covered to see what they were up to. We talk Andrew Tate (unfortunately) and Dave Miscavige. We also chat a little bit about New York congressman George Santos and try to find Charly a baby mama.

    44. Public Access TV, Globalists, and Super Male Vitality: The Alex Jones Story (ft. Joe Sposto)

    This is a big one. The whole reason there's an IYCMG is because of a podcast about Alex Jones. We're joined by Joe Sposto to talk about Alex's origin story and how he came to be liable for 1.5 billion dollars because he's an opportunist that can't keep his mouth shut.

    You can follow Joe on Twitter at: @JoeSposto or check out his podcasts Long Box Heroes & At Odds With Wrestling
