Pirate of Prague Podcast - Peter Elkind

My uncle, Peter Elkind, is a business journalist who has written many business books including Smartest guy in the room, (Enron) Client 9, The rise and fall of Elliot Spitzer, and many others. Wrote for Fortune magazine for 20+ years.

He recently released a true-crime podcast about Viktor Kožený and its really well done. Pirate of Prague

"A charming young Czech promises staggering returns. An entire country’s oil industry is up for grabs. America’s top investors want in. Sounds too good to be true? Damn right it is.

This is a story of private jets, $20,000 dinners, and suitcases stuffed with cash. It’s also a tale about the collapse of communism, the free-for-all that followed, and the birth of the oligarchs. And it’s a story of plain-old human greed...of just how far the rich may go to get even richer. Viktor Kožený smooth-talked his super-wealthy Aspen neighbors and a Wall Street titan into investing huge sums of cash to snap up Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company. Host Joe Nocera and investigative journalist Peter Elkind follow the trail, beginning in the Bahamas, where the charismatic financial genius has been lying low."

Feel like @Chase Parham and @Neal McCready would enjoy.

Take a listen!

This is OT and promise it’s not meant as a troll

So I began watching this old football game on YouTube between Auburn and OleMiss from 1985 late last night. (Side note: go check out the intros from the old SEC on TBS telecasts sometime, they are a sight to behold. However this game was on ESPN).

Woke up this morning and fast forwarded to the end and well….I have some questions:

I tried to add a screenshot and was unable to but the total yards was 585-9 with a minute to go. I think Auburn eventually popped 600. 600-9? Does anyone remember this game or did anyone actually attend this game? What the hell happened? I guess OleMiss only ran 30 plays to over 100 for Auburn. Seems weird.
