Stephanie recounts the Teapot Dome scandal, part 3 of an undisclosed amount of scandals involving the Harding administration, that time when a young nation first learned that the oil industry could wield substantial and corruptive power and influence at the highest levels of the government. This was 20th-century America's first great federal corruption scandal! We’ve grown a lot since then, haven’t we?

Tux revisits our 22nd and 24th president “Grover the Good,” (or as he should be known “Grover the Garbage Juice” or “Groper Cleveland”). Last episode Tux explored how before Cleveland ran for president he was busy being a womanizing scumbag and alleged rapist in upstate New York. This time we learn how he was still a bachelor when he was sworn into the Oval Office but he quickly moved on from stealing babies to robbing the cradle and the American public was super happy about it!

This drink is as potent as it is delicious (as you will hear!), & was invented in 1873--a year that ties directly into Tux's scandalous tale.

Tux’s tells the story of Grover Cleveland, who was nicknamed “Grover the Good” because he was supposed to be such an honest, principled, & ethical man. We’ll find out though, that his reputation might not stand up against the story of Maria Halpin, the woman who fathered his secret son, and paid dearly for it.
