E234: Michael Rapaport with Bita Joudaki 

Hi there. This week, Chris, James and Michael welcome comedian and Heated Rivalry star Brandon Ash-Mohammed back to the show to discuss the insanely corrupt 19th century New York City politician William Magear "Boss" Tweed. During his time running Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party's political machine, it is estimated that Boss Tweed stole between $25-$200 million, the equivalent of put to $5 billion in 2025. Then, just as he was King of New York, he was dethroned by... political cartoons. Enjoy!

Evil Men is a podcast hosted by three comedians - Chris Locke, James Hartnett, and Michael Balazo. Each episode, they select a single evil man, bad person, or fictional character and discuss what made them so damn evil - all while joking their heads off. You’ll hear some super interesting nuggets of information about dubious historical or cultural figures, provided by three guys who don’t actually know what the hell they’re talking about.
