Hi there, welcome to the Saturday show. I've got an episode for you here on Saturday, so I'm calling it the Saturday show. Finnegan Fridays as well. We were live yesterday with Christian Finnegan, and many of you were there, watch the conversation on YouTube or Substack or Twitter or wherever else that I go live on this platform that I use.

Christian,

great has always been a few weeks since we talked.

And we covered a lot of ground,

including we weren't exactly on the same page around conspiracy theories and damage

that they might be doing to folks in the left and so on.

But we had a great conversation about it.

And I think many of the folks watching thought Christian made a lot of good points and agreed

with him more, which it's not a competition.

I love Christian and I love in the rare instance where we're not exactly in the same wavelength

because it doesn't happen too often.

So I thought it was very interesting conversation. As always, Christian is great. As always, you should see him. If you're in Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, last night he was in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. You can go subscribe to his substack, new music for old, get a paid subscription. You can Venmo him as a way to thank him for joining me send him a couple bucks i'll put

his venmo in the uh show notes in the show notes that's where i'll put his venmo so go send him a few bucks

and thank you very much for pressing play today i hope you have a great weekend and thank you for

supporting me and my work on this ad free show where I get the smartest people I can find and always have

great conversations almost every day. Here we go with Christian Finnegan. Let's begin, shall we?

Let's go hoodie friend. Yeah. We're the brother hoodie. Welcome to the brother hoodie. It's

Christian Finnegan, Pete Dominic, where we talk about things in our hoodies. I just reach in and I pull out a gold de blune. Out of your hoodie, you keep stuff back there? Just de blooms. Just strictly de blooms. I don't know. I don't know how you got so many de blooms, much less in your hood. But either way. I'm in the de Blune of the month club. Oh, you are? Yeah. I bet you are. That makes sense. Seems like an aristocrat like you would do something like that. How have you been? Everything okay? I know you were at the Met Gala. Of course. I was there throwing buckets of animal blood on people. Did that used to happen? That was like the old... I feel like I don't know if it happened at the Med Gala, but it used to happen at sort of high society functions. I think faux fur has... It's funny, faux fur has advanced to the point where I don't think people necessarily know whether a fur is real or not. And also, we've kind of gotten to the other side of that.

People are like, I'm going to wear fur as a rebellion against people telling me I can't. And so

it's all this sort of meta bullshit now. Well, now it's not about animal cruelty. That would be

quaint if that was the issue that we were focused on at the Met Gala, much less in the world.

Can you imagine how many things in our country would have to go right for people to start worrying about animal cruelty again?
