Show Summary
Adam opens today’s show talking about lessons learned from the Michael Jordan documentary, ‘The Last Dance’, and the dynamic between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. He also talks to Bryan and Gina about delayed gratification, and the time he called into the Phil Hendrie show. Before the break, Gina reads news stories about Trump’s Tweets to ‘Liberate’ various states, dogs sniffing out Coronavirus, and Michael Cohen getting out of prison early amid COVID19 concerns.
Megan Daum chats with Adam 1-on-1 about how ‘political correctness’ went from being a joke to a policy platform. They also discuss the predictable reactions to her book, a new era of censorship, and the truth about ‘intellectual honesty’. Later they talk about the origins of Coronavirus, not being ‘allowed’ to blame China, and the different between being ‘liberal’ and being ‘on the left’. Other topics of conversation include fueling clickbait culture, how the Trump Presidency lead to a gestalt of ‘resistance’, and whether or not the Coronavirus shutdown has impacted her financially. As the show wraps up, Adam and Meghan discuss the problems with the government doing everything.
