Coming here in 2025 to say eat shit Bob.
This show is beyond amazing. Hope he does one on the Mannington mine disaster in 1968 in WV.
Amazing episode. In the coming years we will find more cases of corporate abuse with all the deregulation taking place.
My blood began to boil listening to this episode. My husband lost his father at 8 years old in the Sunshine Mine (Idaho) disaster. Very similar shady shit caused deaths there, too.
second time the prelude has been set in my home state, I’m sure you can imagine how proud I am 🙄 Exploiting workers is one of the things WV does best.
If you haven't watched the most recent John Oliver episode about this, I *highly* encourage it. He ends with a song and dance number that is just superb. Also, very educational about the damage that SLAPP lawsuits do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN8bJb8biZU
As a Utah native, thank you!!! There's definitely some shady business practices around here.
Love how you ended with a dig on Mitch McConnell. The absolute worst person in the federal government.
🤣🤣 "that squirrel must have been a god damn genius" these little truffles are just one of the reasons I love this.
Wow, timing couldn't have been better. Bravo!
John Oliver talked about this again!
Last week Tonight with John Oliver talked about this asshole and the stupid lawsuit just last night.
God considering the Bob Murray likes to sue people to intimidate and bully people, I really hope you don’t get sued.
I adore A Concerned Citizen and all the awesome episodes he does!! This one broke my heart and made me soooo angry 😡
And thank you for stating the names of the lost miners in the first episode.. it gives these victims names to be remembered
I was thinking about how your Brilliant Snark weaves it’s way into the tale. What I hear is #Truth. The undeniable ‘Duh’ to 100% of the unbelievable Fucking Outrageous Horseshit these stories profile. You do the world a service with your delivery. Smart, Woke and Snarky MotherFuckers say, Thank You.
You’re getting braver regarding your political viewpoint I see. You’d often drop comments here and there, but this season you’ve been quite upfront about where you stand. I respect that.
Fucking. Love. It!!! Each episode just gets better.
🐿🐿🐿
I LOVED this episode!!!!
Oh and damn this was good, ACC....
Genius goddamn squirrel haha
Thank you for your amazing research and story. I love listening to this podcast!!!!
Thank you, ACC, as always for your pod. This is not a story I would normally know jack about. And that is scary.
Raising the bar! This was very informative and witty.
This episode had me in tears and heated but when he read Bob and told him to eat 💩. Woo god.
Additionally, no way can ACC be sued because no one knows who or where he is. XD.
Wow!
love a local story!
I mean talk about a "Power Grab" of an episode am I right!? 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥
Bobs friend Trump is known for some “power” grabs of his own, am I right?. #eatshitbob
😳🤯😡🤬 HOLY SHITBALLZ!!!
Listening now!
