Little piggies stuff in their mouths.
Why is everybody so fucking happy?
Welcome to the official succession podcast from HBO.
I'm kara swisher.
I report on tech, power, and money, and to me, there is no show that tackles all that better than succession.
He's a sociopath, but he wouldn't be a good torturer.
Not because he doesn't have the stomach, but he just doesn't have the patience.
Let a thousand sunflowers bloom.
Romy, I want to start a business with you, brother.
I'm the only one who wants to.
Set up a business as a business and doesn't want to fuck anyone.
On the podcast, we're unpacking every episode on this fourth and final season with succession writers, producers, and directors.
We're also tapping experts beyond the world of the show to find out just how terrifyingly accurate succession really is.
Today we will pull back the curtain on the first episode of the season with the series creator Jesse Armstrong and executive producer Frank Rich.
And later, I'll be joined by journalist Ben Smith, formerly editor in chief of BuzzFeed and now with a new publication called Semaphore, who has some thoughts about Kendall, Shiv and Roman's business strategies.
This premiere episode, titled the Munsters, was written by series creator Jesse Armstrong and directed by Mark Milod.

Pierce, congratulations on saying the biggest number, you fucking moronse.
