===== Episode Notes =====

The intro has a fun diversion into the people management skills necessary to be a crime gang leader. Max's plugs for [[https://infinitegossip.substack.com/p/the-horse-and-the-rider||The Horse & The Rider]] are charming.
Andrew's "they put all the guts in the bucket" facts about open surgery were first described in [[episode_81_bonus]]
