| 0:00.0 | The following podcast contains explicit language. |
| 0:13.8 | Hello, and welcome to Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week. |
| 0:22.1 | I'm Felix Hammer of Fusion, joined by Anna Shamansky and Jordan Weissman. |
| 0:27.4 | Hey, everyone. |
| 0:28.1 | And this week, we're going to talk about three stories. |
| 0:32.9 | I don't know what to think about. |
