Actor Leonardo DiCaprio testified in the money laundering trial of Fugees member Pras Michel. The case involves millions of dollars funneled from Malaysian businessman Jho Low into US political contributions, including for Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. The hosts discuss the broader "Sin Eater" style corruption in Hollywood and the recurring involvement of Fugees members in international legal scandals.

Anthony Scaramucci compares the films "Wall Street" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," noting that he appeared as himself in Oliver Stone's sequel. He praises the original "Wall Street" as a formative cautionary tale but criticizes "The Wolf of Wall Street" for glorifying the illegal actions of Jordan Belfort. Scaramucci explains that he declined a role in the latter film because it portrayed a darker, dishonest side of the financial industry.

A review of "The Wolf of Wall Street" notes that audiences in the financial district cheered for the protagonist's illegal activities. The hosts also discuss the Netflix series "House of Cards," describing the characters as despicable and murderous, yet compelling. Other television recommendations include the series "Rubicon," available on Amazon Prime.
