| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:06.0 | Call Zone Media. |
| 0:07.7 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:08.5 | Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode. |
| 0:12.8 | So every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch |
| 0:22.1 | if you want. If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be |

| 1:31.1 | financial problems that caused me to write the shadow banking episode in the first place. |
| 1:35.8 | Oh, right. |
| 1:36.6 | Why I originally asked you what shadow banking is because there was some kind of economy problem |
| 1:41.5 | and there was like a fake run on the fake banks. Yes. And Molly, you will be extremely unhappy to note that a big part of the reason why there was the fake run on the fake banks was that the shadow banks loaned a bunch of money to a different type of shadow bank.
