Mickey’s big social event. Mickey goes soft on LA city councilpersons caught on tape. An LA Times writer blames it on ‘white supremacy’—not as crazy as you might think. The Blob always wins (case study: The Atlantic). The Haberman shock tape. Journalism was better back in the day, let me tell you. Who let the woke intern write the NYT caption on Johnson vs. Barnes? Al Gore vs. Joe Biden—Who is the bigger BSer? Lunch with the Contras. Kevin Kruse walks. Bob and Mickey’s confessions: ideas we’ve stolen and other sins. Guru showdown. Does the metaverse have legs? Yes! PayPal’s crazy speech police crisis—it’s not over. Did Alex Jones deserve it? All billion dollars worth? Is Canada suiciding people right and left? Adnan Syed walks. Bob clarifies his status anxiety issue. Have you seen File 8? Ukraine’s perverse nuclear incentives. The famous Gig Young anecdote. The money you give to Wikipedia isn’t going where you think it’s going. Does Musk really want to buy Twitter? Knives out for Nikki Finke on the occasion of her death. Everyone should have a eulogy blacklist—here’s Mickey’s. Bob schools Mickey on 538. Quien es mas neocon, McMullin or Lee? Who needs Rumble? Mickey can’t stop talking about Brink Lindsey’s argument. AI nails Dennett. Cliffhanger: Mickey can’t smell—Does he have Covid?
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
