Summary

The Betches Sup presents the third installment of the 8-episode limited series exposing the connections you never knew existed: Do You Know Who My Dad Is? explores dynastic nepotism and the effects it has on media, culture, and our current political system. Hosts Bryan Russell Smith and Alicia Angeles are talking all about the privilege that leads inexperienced and unaccomplished children of powerful people to get ahead. On this week’s episode, Bryan leads us through the family history of one of the most powerful dynasties in American history, the Bush family. First, they talk about the origins of the family’s wealth and power. Next, they discuss the many scandals and highlights of President George H.W. Bush’s political career. Plus, they talk about how nepotism led George W. Bush to walk in his father’s footsteps (and copy his playbook along the way). Finally, they close things out with a game of “Bush or Bull” featuring a collection of surprising facts about the Bush family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
