Opening with a couple of rants, this week's podcast is spicy and also tries to make sense of a few of the more perplexing parts of the book. There's a wonderful interlude in this section from the narrator themselves, and, apparently, nine jokes? And a magic trick involving coins. You'll have to listen to understand.
And here's the "Grifters Gonna Grift" t-shirt mentioned in this episode.
This week's music is "Jealousy" by Phantogram.
Next episode will cover all of of The Confidence-Man. You can find the full reading schedule here.
