So this is Current Yield, Grant's interest rate observer of the air, and I am Jim Grant.

And I was going to say with me, as always, is the great deputy editor of Grant's, but Evan

Lorenzo is not here.

Harrison, what happened?

Oh, yeah, well, he called in.

He called him not sick. He's healing. He, uh, but anyway, he's, he's well or weller, and we'll be back soon. Harrison Waddill, my con frere, is at the control panel today. And with us is, uh, Zeke

Fox. Zeke Fox is the author of the week. Now I know there has been a lot

of hoo-ha about a certain biography of Elon Musk, but I'm here to tell you, ladies and gentlemen,

the book of the week is number go up inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Stagger staggering fall by Zeke Fox.

And what to say about this?

Oh, yes.

Well, I think the test of sincerity of the fan of a book is how many copies you buy, right?

One, yeah, whatever.

Harrison, how many copies of number go up have we purchased to date?

300, yeah.

Because I figured I've got to have one home, one in my book bag, one in the country,

you know, that's three.

But we are distributing a number go up to the guest at the 40th anniversary grants conference

coming up on October 3rd at the Plaza Hotel.

And Zika is going to be on hand to talk about, not to pitch his book.

That would be a little bit commercial.

So Zika's not going to pitch his book.
