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!
