I checked Twitter while I was writing these show notes and noticed that today—the very day we are releasing an episode about two billionaire NFL owners—the Washington Reds***s have announced that they are “conducting a study” that will likely end up with them changing the team name.

It’s almost Halloween and you know what that means—only 7 months until Mother’s Day!In the news this week: It looks like Steve Mnuchin bent the U.S. treasury rules for designating opportunity zones to help out Michael Milken (long time enemy of the show) with a huge tax break.

Billionaires in the News: Trump wants to buy Greenland.

In place of our normal intro this week, Joe made me offer a disclaimer about my behavior during the podcast.

First, we realize that we don't know what words like dude, buddy, bro, chief, and man are called. (I looked it up after the show. They're called "colloquial vocatives").

First, we set a long-term goal for the show: By 2021, get more listeners than the flat earth podcast.
