Well, that was a great conversation and I am so happy to get to know a bit about Emily. I am very excited about her coming onto the Unspeakeasy tomorrow. I am not a conservative or a Christian but I really love anyone who is fact-based and just wants her views to be understood, whether one agrees or not. From that foundation, talking is so easy!
"to troll is to speak"... is it because they don't go to the bar with their friends?
great questions... since listening to the interview about sobriety from alcohol and social media, I've definitely been thinking that sobriety from alcohol is over rated and given to much credit for bad habits and behavior - not that it doesn't contribute. But, much like the internet itself and social media, its a tool and can be misused.
The more serious point, tho - is are we as humans properly socializing? Is there danger in substituting social media for authentic in real life interaction?...
she typed into the comments section of a podcast... lol
The thing about billionaires is that the first thing they do after earning their first billion is figure out how to get their next billion. The money is never enough.
I think what Elon wants is to be popular and funny -- that's why he went on stage with Dave Chappell. He thought he would say a couple of funny things and the crowd would love him because he's the most interesting man in the world.

Excellent choice of guest, Meghan! Emily is just so reasonable, enjoyable, and also adorably wholesome.
You two talking about Tim Dillon and Steve Bannon was like the podcast world coming together in the best way.
I hope you have her back on again!
You've both prolly read "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman, but lots of the discussion here reminds me of that book.
Whitney Webb of Unlimited Hangout does great work on the technocrat history, current situation and future
technocracy (along with natural resourse abuse and support of Israel) is inevitable regardless of the party in power
nice thinking on how you don't need to read the room to share what you have to say regardless
I remember the tea party was before infiltration or fabrication or whatever happened to it.
Meghan, I just listend to the Bannon/Dillon podcast on youtube. You really must listen to it.
It's a stunning conversation...especially about financial crisis.

I watched it before our interview!
You and Emily got me to listen to Tim Dillon and Steve Bannon today. He *is* charming as hell. I feel like he was negging me, though.

He is a gaping abyss of insecurity.
