| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the advisory opinions podcast. I'm David French with Sarah Isker. We've got a fantastic |
| 0:10.0 | podcast today. It's going to begin with a bit of relationship advice, Sarah. Very, very quick |
| 0:19.4 | short relationship advice that I've given before. It's a teaser for what's going to happen later |
| 0:24.4 | in the podcast, but here's the very short relationship advice. Find someone who loves you as much as |
| 0:31.2 | the board of directors of the National Rifle Association loves Wayne LaPierre. But we'll get |
| 0:37.4 | into that later. We'll get into that later talking about the bankruptcy or kind of sort of maybe |
| 0:42.3 | not bankruptcy of the NRA. We're going to talk about the Facebook oversight board's decision |

| 1:31.6 | but I don't drink coffee and neither does McKay. And that started a long and fruitful relationship |
| 1:38.6 | based on delicious, delicious milkshakes. McKay was a Buzzfeed, I think, when I met him. And |
| 1:45.2 | my house stars have risen. McKay stood out even then from a young age. He is now a worldly |
| 1:52.8 | Atlantic writer. I think has really found his groove writing long forms on politics. Although |
| 2:00.4 | McKay, and I've told you this before, my favorite piece I think that you've ever written was about |
| 2:05.7 | the Church of Latter-day Saints tradition of stocking foods at your house. And I just thought |
| 2:13.1 | that was such a beautiful piece. We'll put it in the show notes because I think that that |
| 2:16.8 | gives you more of an insight into McKay than any of his other stories. But why is McKay on advisory |
