    EP 67 - The History of Pimps
    May 4 2025
    Felipe and Butch get their dripped out canes and take a stroll down the history of pimps and the "game" of what is known as pimping. Before pimping, there was always prostitution and there have been businesses towards but were operated by women, usually by one powerful female. It's an interesting dive it would take a couple of episodes to cut through it but they hand you the education in about less than two hours.
