Welcome to the Commentary Magazine Daily podcast. Today is Wednesday December 9, 2020.

I'm John Pudhor, it's the editor of Commentary Magazine with me as always,

senior writer Christine Rosen, high Christine, associate editor Noah Rothman, high knowa,

high jaw, and executive editor A Greenwald Hyab.

Hi John. So you know, you guys, you know, so I always mix up the order in which I introduce you,

and I'm wondering, is that a is that a is that a violation of conservative

precepts that I don't I don't provide a standard rhythm, you know, it's like Richelauri always says,

oh, here's the sage of authenticity, Woods Gym Guarantee, and here's the notorious MBD

Michael Brindority. It's always in the same form. What do you guys think? Am I, is it anxiety

provoking? Because you guys look a little anxious while we're doing it. We never know where I'm going.

And maybe you should adopt Riches Cadence when he does the, you know, the MBD thing.

It's really like a, there's D itch, there's like a drama there. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, well, I mean, they that is that is, you know, that is intensely scripted.

Like he says the same thing at the beginning says the same thing at the end.

He adopts the same cadence. I find it comforting and weird. It's just not my, I'm more,

I'm more of an improv guy, you know, I did improv, I took improv, I, you know, so I don't know.

I'm just asking, what, what do you think? Am I making you, is this discomforting?

No, no, no, I think it's, it's a, it's a, it's a small strike against, you know, like the,

the forces of regulation and bureaucracy, you're not adhering to pointless rules.

Yes, but what is that because we always answer the same way. So we're the slayers to the rules.

Greg, we always say hi, John. So you're saying that I am, I am the normed violator.
