Okay, so I am back with Brad Palumbo.

Brad and I recorded our episode last Thursday and then on Saturday,

two of the media magnates we discussed on that episode very rudely dropped an unexpected YouTube

collab Taylor Lorenz times or is it times or X Taylor Lorenz X lives of

Tic-Toc. This was our generations, Nixon versus Frost, except our two

greatest public intellectuals were duking it out over Cold Brew at a sidewalk cafe in Los Angeles and this was obviously enough

of a podcast emergency to bring Brad back so he's here we're going to discuss

this historic event.

If you're a premium subscriber, a primo, you're going to hear the whole conversation

and if you're a free subscriber, a freemo, you're going to get a generous preview.

And if you want to hear the whole thing you can join us at

blocked and reported.org and get access to all of our extra content.

Brad welcome back.

Thanks, but I don't know how much of an emergency this truly was. I think you were

just looking for an excuse to hang out with me again.

Maybe. I don't know, I was, personally, I was shocked when I saw this drop. What did you think?

No, I was shook because on both ends, I'm surprised that each of them did it, right?

So this is a, this is an interview slash conversation between Taylor Lorenz,

you know, the liberal journalist who covers everything online

and Libs of Tik-Toc creator Chiah Rychik.

Oh wait, wait, we have to do a correction first.

I got a bunch of corrections after I put out the last episode on our primo feed. It is Hia, not Chia. We don't speak Hebrew, obviously. No, we don't. That was an anti-Semitic micro-aggression on our part. It's a micro-aggression.
