#125 Billionaires Get Drunk & Buy Things

from The Blackout Diaries · host Starburns Audio

CJ and Sean talk about the recently-departed Ted Turner, an old-school billionaire who seemed like he'd be fun to have a beer with. We laugh about how he ran the Braves as almost a barnstorming gag team in the early 1980s and his confidence that the American public did not have sophisticated taste in television. CJ shares some stories about Derek Stevens, the official billionaire of The Blackout Diaries- a good-timing, vintage Casino owner that CJ knows from his sports gambling world. We also share some of the details emerging from the Sam Altman / Elon Musk trial, and how Altman seems to be a hilarious liar. And in Sean's neck of the woods, there is a Wisconsin business magnate who keeps promising his brewery will giveaway free beer the day Trump dies.
