So it is crazy that nobody went to jail for this. I was like riveted by this the second time around which is kind of hard to do for a finance book I think.

Dude you owe us 1.2 billion dollars. Welcome to Rekindled with Michael and Ben.

We had our heart set on calling this podcast turn the page but at the 11th hour somebody came

in with rekindled and I mean it's just obvious in my and in both of our opinions it

was perfect and I'm a Kindle reader, so I, it was just, yes, the perfect name, it rolls off the tongue better, so we made a last minute audible.

And on this first episode, my idea was to reread the big short because when I read it the first time I was blown away and it's been I guess 10 years or so since it came out and on the reread

It almost became apparent this is the goat for finance books is it not I mean this is the

finance book of all time hold on a minute like the best book about money ever written, is that what you're saying?

The most readable book on finance, how about that?

So this is my re-re-rereadable, because I went through this book a second time while I was writing my book

and I was looking for stuff about Joel Greenblen I think what you took me off to and I

actually ended up not using it for the book. But so Money Ball was written or published in 2003.

The Blind Side came out in 2006 and this book came out in 2010. But do think I mean this was the book that made him world famous was it not

Moneyball to a certain extent later I think but this one probably

Yes, I think a lot of people probably don't even realize he made the blind side because they

probably just equate that to like the Sandra Bullock movie but in terms of

finance circles I mean this is this is the greatest book written about the financial

crisis and it's not even close.

How's that? Right? I mean I was like riveted by this the second time around which is kind of

hard to do for a finance book I think. Have you read too big to fail? No, it was like 800 pages. Neither have I. Have you read

Did you read Bethany and Jonah Sarah's book? All the devils were here? No. So are you saying that my sample size is too small?

I'm just saying.
