The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Newsom, Clinton, Tigers and Bears Oh My!
This week we went round-robin format—or the podcast equivalent of potluck—with each bartender bringing a subject on their mind. John wonders whether the Clinton deposition about Epstein is really sensible, Steve wonders how Gaffen-Gavin Newsom can possible survive this week’s “George Romney Moment” (you need to be a certain age, or have read some political history from the 1960s, to get this reference), and Lucretia wonders why universities have allowed themselves to be swallowed whole by useless administrators.
Along the way we do lighting round hot takes on Trump’s stupendous State of the Union speech, whether we’re going to go to war with Iran perhaps before these pixels are dry on the screen, and, in response to a listener question, clarifying our discussion last week about the Supreme Court’s tariff decision, along with some great pop culture trivia that we hadn’t planned.
