| 0:00.0 | I don't want to talk about baseball. I might want to talk about what could be the biggest |
| 0:05.1 | financial fraud in the history of the world. And mostly I want to talk about the story we tell |
| 0:10.8 | ourselves about the story of money. Hey, it's Seth. And this is a Kimbo. |
| 0:23.2 | We'll be back in a second to talk about Gresham's Law and Tether. But first, here's a message |
| 0:28.8 | from our sponsor. Hi, it's Benedict. You and I'm here to talk to you about how you can become |
| 0:35.6 | a better storyteller. Storytelling is not an art reserve for the chosen few. It's a skill that |

| 1:50.4 | baseball player who ever played the game. Honus Wagner, who played shortstop. Bill James said |
| 1:55.9 | he was better than the second best shortstop as much as the second best shortstop was better than |
| 2:03.2 | the 20th best shortstop. Honus Wagner, probably up there with Babe Ruth. I don't know. I'm not |
| 2:10.0 | that interested in baseball. But a tobacco company in the early 1900s decided that a superstar like |
