• EMERGENCY EPISODE! The Astronomer CEO scandal and other messy executives

  The CEO of tech company Astronomer was caught at a Coldplay concert canoodling with the head of HR in a video that has since gone mega-viral. And SUDDENLY everyone is interested in what I thought was a niche topic - CEOs behaving badly!!  In this emergency episode, I review the latest in the Astronomer scandal and recap my favorite executive cheating scandals that we've covered on the podcast.  Correction: In an earlier version of this epiosde, I said Friends and ER were on CBS. They were not, they were on NBC. I also said Rupert Murdoch's wife was "Jerry Halloway" not "Jerry Hall." That's because I'm a millenial and I'm always thinking about the Spice Girls.  Timestamps:  00:00 Astronomer  07:25 - Kevin Plank (Under Armour)  13:30 - Sergey Brin (Google) 20:00 - Les Moonves (CBS)  24:30 - SBF (FTX)  26:00 - Jack Welch (GE)  27:20 - Rupert Murdoch (NewsCorp / Fox News)  I also touch on Dov Charney (American Apparel), Eddie Antar (Crazy Eddie), The Insys Sales Reps, and Vince McMahon (WWE)
