If You Catch My Grift

Austin hops on the short bus to catch up and talk about his PR campaign for someone who's reputation is in the mud.

We talk about self-proclaimed prophet turned sovereign citizen Sean David Morton. This guy runs the gamut of conspiracy tropes from weather weapons to biblical numerology, and we only cover one appearance of many on Coast to Coast AM.

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.

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.

Is it financial brilliance, CTE, or just a case of smelling his own farts? Andrew Tate teaches a generation of fatherless young men how to make money while bilking them for out of a fortune. The origin story of the "King of Toxic Masculinity".

We're going back into the belly of the beast with our second installment of the Prison Industrial Complex mini-series. This time we're looking at food suppliers within the carceral system and how they put profits over providing nutrition to the people they are contracted to serve.
