This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltsin. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. It doesn't matter how much I fight. It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to What Happened in Nashville on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

How does Michael Lewis's portrayal of financial figures influence public perception?
Have you ever listened to those true crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? Who catfishes a city? Is it even safe to snort human remains? Is that the plot of Footloose? I'm comedian Rory Scovel, and I'm here to tell you Josh Dean and I have a new podcast that celebrates the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. It's called Crimeless, a true crime comedy podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? My sister was shot 22 times. A police officer, right? But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue? This dude is the devil. He'll hurt you. This is the story of a detective who thought he was above the law until we came together to take him down.
I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die.
What are the implications of Michael Lewis's writing style on his subjects?
I got you, I got you, I got you. Listen to The Girlfriends, Untouchable, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, everyone. Robert Evans here with Behind the Bastards, and we've got some kind of sad news today. You know, this is going to hit members of the community pretty hard. But 48 years ago, on November 10th, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members on board. this is a hard time of the year for for everybody here at behind the bastards for all of you at home and the only thing that makes it easier is the knowledge that both the russian federation and the chinese government have recently substantially increased the sizes of their nuclear stockpile while the united states is in the process of renovating its own nuclear weapons and my my hope i think all of our hope is that
the leaders of our world can kind of band together in this time of conflict and sadness to finally expend the entirety of their nuclear stockpiles, detonating them over Lake Superior. You know, that's my hope. I know it's all of your hope back at home. And I really think what can carry us through this is some classic Mao era propaganda posters, showing Joe Biden, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin walking hand in hand, surrounded by a crowd of little kids in Red Guard uniforms, heading towards the light of a new atomic sun, while a series of mushroom clouds detonate over Lake Superior's depths. Anyway, welcome to the show, Jamie. That's so I mean, first of all, thank you. Thank you for that.
How does Sam Bankman-Fried's behavior reflect on the narrative constructed by Michael Lewis?
I needed to hear it. I think we all the image you described. And I hate that my mind went here. Conjure the image of Paul Walker in the convertible next to Brian Griffin. That's right, that's right, that's right. That was sort of what I was picturing. The image you described has that exact same image. Just throw someone in the backseat, same exact shit. Yes, that's the dream, Jamie. That's the dream. God, what a beautiful, beautiful dream. I really think about being a member of Paul Walker's family at the time that image was circulating.
