Bob isn’t amused by Mickey’s hilarious opening parrot gag. Epstein victim groped by Prince Andrew puppet. Bob’s new grand unified Weinstein theory (or: Why won’t Eric and Bret debate their critics?). What does Eric do all day?—We think we have the answer. Bob and Mickey argue over whether Peter Thiel is playing the role Marx assigned. How much would you pay for two hours of exclusive Glenn Greenwald time? (Rumble is paying a lot.) Bob’s billion dollar idea for Substack. What the Muscle Shoals documentary says about black-white relations in the South in the 1960s. Why did all this talent converge on Muscle Shoals? (It wasn’t in the soil!) Aretha’s brief but momentous visit to Muscle Shoals. Don’t think the Jan. 6 hearings will keep Trump from getting the presidential nomination. Why natural immunity could be better than vaccine-induced immunity. Mickey explains why Republicans need to buck Democrats up about the midterms. What’s the press all all-hands-on-deck about now? Why sending checks to people making $200,000 may backfire on Dems. Bob and Mickey are amazed at Trump’s failure to build a wall. Mention of Sam Harris triggers another Bob IDW diatribe. How is Bob like Mary Matalin? Commenters on a Leon Wieseltier takedown, how to pronounce Rapinoe, and why Mickey and Bob should watch themselves on video.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
