Barry McGuire weeps. No status points for Mickey on Loretta Lynn. Aaron Judge, unjuiced hero. David Sacks is right about the left. Bob’s moment with Bill Kristol. 538, comfort blanket for the left. Bob suckers Mickey into ill-advised bet. Code Pink sticks to its guns. Liberal democracy has won, says Richard Hanania. Who says autocracies don’t get popular feedback? Who says the triumph of liberal democracy won’t be a nightmare? Should the government pay for everyone’s designer babies? Why the Musk turnaround on Twitter? Mickey’s Sacks-centric theory of history. What if Arthur Lee had had George Martin to work with? Mickey worries about whom Biden will pardon next. Two coincidences involving Bob. The many sides of Herschel Walker. Pay no attention to Michael McFaul. Is Mickey jealous of Toobin? Ari Melber knows how to work a party. Why don’t voters care about character anymore? Does Hollywood still care? Are EVs a Chinese plot? Expert witness supports Bob about Serial podcast. Bad Serial imitators: the case of Wind of Change. Mickey refuses to sing ‘The Francis Fukuyama song’. Bob denies low status past. Why the Hunter Biden story isn’t important (issues vs. character, part 2). Mickey concedes to commenter on McFaul. Bob wants more non-Trump judges. Last-minute mind-body digression. Barry McGuire weeps again.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
