Breaking Nuts: finding money where the sun don't shine

Brazil Nuts: an insane journey through the world of Brazilian politics

Hi, friends! Another week that feels like a year, but here we are, still with you.

This week we bring you some fresh, warm nuts, which is saying something, since we're talking about senator Chico Rodrigues (DEM-RR) and the unusual place he chose to hide his allegedly illegal money.

Since the recording of this episode, Rodrigues's lawyers have sent out a release saying the money was to pay the staff in his family's company. To which we say, we need stricter labour laws. Also, Rodrigues has taken a leave of absence, meaning his son has INDEED taken his Senate seat. Coolio.

Next week we'll be doing a special HALLOWEEN MOVIE NUTS episode, with the film GOOD MANNERS (2017), by Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra. We will NOT discuss the film AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL (1964), by Zé do Caixão as mentioned in the episode. Apologies for our mistake and the confusion.

We'd like to thank Uoster Zielinski for the graphic design and all the essential workers out there, keeping us safe.
