Parrot Room: We’re here to rob you of your childhood
He’s Mr. Loaf to you. Comedians agree: Bob Saget was more filthy than funny. Bono hates U2. Bob Marley also got worse as he got more popular. Are neo-Cold-Warriors to blame for violence against Asian-Americans? Mickey’s Henry Cuellar conspiracy theory. Are populists in decline?—Mickey says don’t bet on it. How is the Parrot Room like Yellowstone? Bob nails down his Robert Malone psychoanalysis. Free the Los Gatos Party Mom! Bob drops Katie Couric’s and Matt Lauer’s names. Has anybody come back from me-too hell yet? David Remnick, the focus of evil in the modern world. The Atlantic and the problem of rich owners. Bob reads war porn, is beset by self-loathing. Mickey defends Kuwait ‘turkey shoot’. Mickey’s trans swimmer conspiracy theory gets semi-corroborated. The weird thing about Matt Yglesias’s brain. Mickey condemns millennial foodies. Bob condemns active shooter drills. Big argument over China. Mickey plays exculpatory Proud Boys tape, Bob is unconvinced. Bob’s comedy of errors. Mickey’s Salvation Army agony gets worse.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
