This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by special guest (and our first-ever undisputed Generation Z guest) Lawfare managing editor Jacob Schulz! They discussed:
For object lessons, Quinta endorsed "The Other Two" for some wholesome entertainment; Alan sang the praises of the newest pasta shape on the block; Scott dismissed Alan's pasta shape as a thing of nightmares, while endorsing the Tuscan classic "priest-strangler" (and saying hello to some RatSec listeners in the family); and Jacob brought our attention to the trend of French presidents being abused by their constituents, exemplified most recently by the (unsuccessful) egging of French President Emmanuel Macron.

0:52.0 | Quinta, is that a cultural identification or a literal identification? |
0:56.0 | Does that make me a geriatric millennial? I think it might. |
1:00.0 | Perhaps, no, so this is how I think about it is that the dividing line between young and old millennials as people who were on the job market at the time of or about to be on the job market, the financial crisis. |
1:12.0 | So I did not experience that. I was a little bit too young, which makes me a young millennial. |

1:28.0 | I asked a Gen Z acquaintance of mine to explain Chugi to me when a boomer acquaintance of mine asked me what it meant. |
1:36.0 | So there you go. I'm bridging the generations. |
