FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
Conversation highlights
A quick read from the 18,728-word episode transcript.
2 If I wanted to have a slightly more economy focused and maybe slightly more flippant kind of novel, 3 I would have called the unit of currency the fuck.
5 Anyone who claims to give a fuck and they're not spending their money on something 6 doesn't actually give a fuck.
9 It's that it takes a lot of your stuff and then it pays smart people to do stupid things 10 when they could be doing smart things instead.

doesn't actually give a fuck.

It's not just that it takes a lot of your stuff.
