Adam Murphy, our political blowhard, filling in on a Friday, as the nation is consumed with a balloon, apparently from China. So, we hit on that a bit, but more along the lines of how the U.S. government talks about China to the public. Before that, however, we spent a lot of time talking about how media, in general — like TV vs. streaming — is changing, and what we say is the most popular — like Fox News — doesn't even compare to what is actually being watched (TikTok videos). All that conversation, though, started because of a viral MrBeast video on getting 1,000 people eye surgery, which of course led to a universal healthcare discussion.
