Hello and welcome to the Bullworn podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller.

We're back with one of our faves and opinion columnists for The New York Times, also co-host of the legal podcast Advisory Opinions. It's David French. What's up, man? Tim, it's always so good to see you. It's good to see you too. I notice you're not posting as much anymore. I just a little kind of behind the curtain here. I like to prep for the guests by just diving deep into the recent posts. Are you like

cleansing your social media life or is it just, you know, the grandbabies or what's, what's happening?

No, we're in the process of kind of moving up to Chicago for, uh, for my, my oldest daughter is starting

law school and she's got two little, our two little

grandbabies, four and two, and we're going to be helping with the grandbabies while my

oldest daughter's in law school. And so, yeah, Tim, let me just say this. I have a recommend

and I have a do not recommend. Okay. Okay. Recommend grandbabies. Yeah. Do not recommend moving.

However, however, grandchildren are the good reason to go ahead and upend your life.

So we're in the middle of that.

Okay.

So it's not part of Pretzker, 2028.

You haven't gone full native?

No, no. We have a live event in Chicago,

so maybe I'll see it. It's next week, May 28th. It's sold out, but I don't know if you,

if you DM me and you're really special, we might figure something out. But we'll be there on May 28th.

And I've got, I had some backlash when I made a joke about the Chicago weather on a couple podcasts ago, some listener

backlash. And I'm just pulling up the seven day right now. It's 55. It's fucking May

20th. Who would want to live there? I'm sorry, I do not apologize for my views on this.

It's 55. Today's the high. That's not acceptable. How are you

going to tolerate that? You're a southern man. Tim, it's a great summer city and it's not summer yet.

So, you know, you just you just got to give Chicago a pass until like it's officially summer.
