Welcome to the Reason Roundtable, your weekly podcast and videocast.

Thank God.

Brought to you by the magazine of Free Minds and Free Markets. I am Matt Welch joined by Nick

Gillespie, Catherine Mangue Ward, and Special Guest Star, America's own funny man the boy with the joy toy the boss with a hot sauce

The once and perhaps future host of this very podcast, yes, Andrew ever-loving, heaten, please clap.

Thank you, thank you. I am delighted to be back after the people demanded it.

We're nothing if not a democracy here at reason.

Tragically, we only hope that in time he can recover.

We only hope.

He's the Kate Middleton of this podcast.

I actually do this a lot for a Suderman, like if he can't go to a family reunion,

I come in. I kind of view myself as like

Santa's helper for suiterman. And we should point out that Peter is stuck

getting back from Ayella's birthday, right?

We can't do that joke.

Twice in a row.

We did that joke last week.

That's got a little bit more juice in it.
