Hello and welcome to another episode of the recapables Billions, a podcast on the Ringer podcast network.

My name is Allison Herman. I write about TV for the ringer.com.

And joining me on the other line, he's breaking it down to Nellie in an elevator.

It's our Billions recapper,, Miles Surrey. How you doing?

Hey, happy to be here. We should get right to it. We're at DefCon 6.

Miles, the scale starts at 1.

Oh, darn. Whatever.

Buddy, I got billions of dollars, hundreds of employees, and two kids at home who think I can fly.

Now what the fuck do you have?

The only thing you need. More. All the same. Get the fuck out.

Oh man. What a week. This was a big episode. There's lots to talk about, but if we're being real, there's only one thing to talk about. Shout out to Daniel K. Isaac. What a spotlight week for him. What did you think of this episode?

This episode was really fun. I just love that both Ben Kim was able to get his confidence up.

You know, that was a big deal for him, and we'll probably talk mostly just about that

elevator scene for this episode.

But also, I loved that Chuck, you know, made some real progress, getting some dirt

on Jock Jeffcoat and his brother, who I guess is some kind of Joel Austin type with a megachurch.

Yeah, the Jofcoats really strike me as a madlibs of every possible reference to things going on

in conservative America right now. He's like,

like Jeffcoat himself is clearly Rex Tillerson. He's, you know, this multi-millionaire

higher-up cabinet official. He's a former governor of Texas, so he's kind of like George W. Bush.

His brother's a teleangelist, and then they own a bunch of TV stations. What strikes me

is very Sinclair broadcasting.
