He might be the most talked-about asshole in the world right now. Jeffrey Epstein was incredibly wealthy, insanely perverted, and oddly mysterious in every way-- including his death. As you can imagine, there is a lot to this story. So much so that we couldn’t just do one episode. To give this story it’s due justice, we’re running it in two full-length episodes. In this first episode, we cover Epstein’s early years as a student, teacher, and the start of his career in finance. Enjoy!

Our subject today became world-famous for organizing the greatest failure of a music festival in modern history. The live-streamed disaster that was Fyre Fest entertained the internet in the spring of 2017 and subsequently created two of the most entertaining documentaries of 2019.

On this episode of Asshole Court, we delve into the menacing figure that is Suge Knight. Part businessman and part gangster, Suge bullied his way into the music industry in the late '80s and early '90s and-- for good and bad-- created a rap music legacy with his label, Death Row Records.
Is he a bad guy? Definitely. Is he at least partially responsible for some of the best rap music ever? Absolutely. Does he have one of the most well-groomed beards in human history? You know it.

Even if you’re not plugged into the Christian Television world, you probably know Pat Robertson. He’s been on your television for four decades now and utilized his power as a Christian celebrity to enter into mainstream culture and, yes, politics. He ran for President in 1988 and even won a few states in the primary. Trouble is, he might be a monumental asshole. Take a listen and see what you think.

She was born to a well-to-do family, got into Stanford, and then dropped out to start a blood-testing company that she swore would change the world. And it wasn't long before she had hundreds of millions of dollars in investment capital, a corporate board filled with household names, a sweet-ass private jet, and a net worth that Forbes put at 4.5 Billion dollars in 2015.
But it appears to have been a massive financial scam of the highest order with Holmes allegedly at the helm of it all. The US Court system will weigh in on that soon enough but on this episode of AHC Podcast, three lifelong friends will discuss Ms. Holmes and decide (on an 11 point scale) how much of an asshole she is. Enjoy!

The most infamous man in boxing. Arguably the most recognizable hairstyle in the world. Don King worked his way up from an impoverished upbringing in Cleveland to become a household name all around the world, making a fortune along the way.

Arguably the most famous mafioso ever, John Gotti captured the American public’s imagination in the ’80s and '90s. While previous mob bosses had shunned the spotlight-- or at least attempted to-- Gotti seemed to revel in it. Splashed across the covers of national magazines and newspapers, Gotti gave the average American the closest glimpse into mob life that they’d ever had and arguably touched off the mafia obsession in popular entertainment over the next two decades. On this episode, we delve into the life of John Gotti to rate just how much of an asshole the Dapper Don was.
