*Preview* 037 - The ultimate man-cave grift

**This is a preview of our premium Friday show, The Plug. To listen to the full episode, go to patreon.com/thedrain.** Today we're discussing the fascinating story of the southern California son of a billionaire real estate magnate who is facing a lawsuit from investors in his idea for the Ultimate Rich Guy's Man Cave, called "The Bunker," which has not come to fruition despite millions in investments. David Bren, son of well known real estate developer Donald Bren, is being taken to court over allegations that he has misused some $2 million in investments to his endeavor to create an opulent Los Angeles man cave at a Los Angeles hotel for dudes who love cigars, nice cars, and good wine/liquor. We discuss the details of the story, and take a look at his YouTube pitch video for "The Bunker," which holds some prescient clues for the trouble he is now facing today. Culture for the Driven, indeed. Don't forget to like, rate and subscribe to The Drain on your favorite podcast platforms. Questions? Comments? Pitches? Email us at [email protected].
