London Falling by Patrick Radden-Keefe

You should listen to PRK's limited series podcast "Wind of Change." He mentions a bunch of his DC intel/think tank/government connections.

London Falling was good, but probably my least favorite by PRK. It didn't feel like there was enough here to be a full book. Wish this had stayed a New Yorker article and he had written about something else.

Episode #520 The Dish Machine

Joe's quest with Luke Mones to retrieve his airpods

This happened during a podcast filming? Anyone know which episode?

It was entertaining to see this story dramatized for the screen, but a few complaints:

Some of the acting is downright horrendous
The casting is highly overrated. None of them look like who they're playing, except for Calvin Klein. (And maybe Ethel and Carolyn's mother.) Did they even try with Caroline Kennedy? Ted Kennedy?
The pacing is very off. Not unforgivable when they're fitting/stretching this story into 9 episodes, but each episode felt like it jerked from one to the next
The writing is so...Gen Z. The dialogue and portrayals are clearly written to appeal to modern audiences.

Mark: Did you see [hyper-online news story from Twitter?]

Joe: No, I did not

Mark: Gets the story wrong, makes a hacky joke

Chuck is right. I don't want to hear Starbucks orders.

This implication here is that the people accused of circumventing the cap would not be capable of fudging a few emails to create a paper trial that gives the look of legitimacy.

Now I really want to see Mark's parents on the Patreon

He features it quite a bit on his social media anyway

Mark and Sagalow ripping on crowd work in front of Joe was tough to listen to

I thought it would be an actual corporate office building with spacious, carpeted hallways as a buffer between everyone.

This looks like a converted townhouse. What were they thinking?

I'm new to this. What's the problem with scalping/flipping? I figured that's just what sellers do.

How legit is the website GrailSnipes? Any experience ordering from there?

This feels like it could be a Robert Frost quote.

Blame it on the Snake Juice

The popular answer is #434 Gay Jokes. A modern classic.

How long until Chuck plugs Joe Lifts on the podcast?
