Welcome to the commentary magazine Daily Podcast today is Monday March 29th 2021.

I am John Botford, the editor of commentary magazine.

With me as always, executive editor Abe Greenwald, hi Abe.

Hi John.

Senior writer Christine Rosen, hi Christine.

Hi John and wait can I just say I should have to wear a Phil Specter wig as penance

because I completely bungled our podcast on Friday and I'm sorry for the listeners who

didn't who had to go back and find the fixed one so we're going to do better this week.

No, no, no, no, no, Rothman is office week.

You should not have to wear a Phil Specter wig.

I didn't get it.

You didn't kill anybody.

So, you know, I just want to make that clear.

As a person who didn't kill anybody, you are therefore not comparable to Phil Specter,

who actually overproduced things.

Yes, that's true.

So let's not forget.

There is no wall of sound.

I am sitting in a basement in Chicago where I think the sound quality isn't quite as good

as it is where we do it in where I do it in New York.

So I apologize for that.

I hope those of our listeners who who had who did satires had profitable ones.
