LSD on the beach. Everyone will be host of Jeopardy for 15 minutes. Mickey gets Bob’s Burnses mixed up. FBI says it finds no grand Jan. 6 conspiracy. Mickey does his homework, Part I: Epstein tidbits from the producer of Filthy Rich. (Bob doesn’t buy the suicide-for-bucks scenario.) Mickey does his homework, Part II: Has he discovered the Atlantic’s dirty little secret? Could Rand Paul be the next JD Vance? Mickey reviews his California recall ballot. The Larry Elder gun bombshell. A Quentin Tarantino digression. Mickey says Biden’s damaging Stephanopoulos quote was taken out of context. Bob tries to pin Mickey down on incredibly complicated infrastructure scenarios without giving him an excuse to talk about the child tax credit. Mickey fails to quell Bob’s fear of Kamala. Mickey clings to theory that Biden’s main brain flaw—he’s not as smart as he thinks he is—was there 30 years ago. Bob and Mickey’s very different roads to sobriety. Bob’s take on Ted Lasso. Should Bob see The Producers? Bob’s Weinstein project isn’t running out of steam. Is Mickey confused about when the civil rights movement changed? Do people really want to hear more about the New Republic? Mickey cancels himself while trying to praise guitarist Jesse Ed Davis.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
