1. How Tucker Carlson told Joe Rogan that Bari Weiss is a fraud and not honest at all. She called Tulsi Gabbard a "toady" and she didn't know what "toady" meant.
2. The similarities and differences between the Bob Dylan song "You Got to Serve Somebody" and the Band song "Unfaithful Servant."
3. The use of the tuba in popular music recorded in the last 60 years and why it matters if they had an actual tuba player in the studio as opposed to a digitalized tuba sound.
4. "Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole."
5. Whether flags of foreign countries should be waved by members of Congress and how the use of the flag may mean different things to different people.
6. It was Richard Nixon who originated the wearing of a flag lapel pin and how everyone followed along and now they can't stop.
7. The way some people these days are calling their loved one "my person." I heard it in Salman Rushdie's new book "Knife" and I opened The New Yorker at random and saw it in a Roz Chast cartoon.
8. Some people call a dog's owner the dog's "person," and that seems related to the old joke "Are you walking him or is he walking you"?
9. Bill Maher asked why people want drag queens reading to children and said it would be better to have disabled people reading, but drag queens are entertainers and disabled people are not.
10. How little children shouldn't be exposed to overly exciting entertainment and even peekaboo can be too intense for young minds.
11. How it's already too late to go south for warmer weather and we are better off here in the north, where there was frost on the grass this morning.
12. How fluent and funny Tucker Carlson was describing his boss at the New York Post who had a hairy back that he would rub against the door jamb while he talked to Tucker and the 5 or 6 ways that Tucker could have known that the man had a hairy back.
13. What a big part of life hairiness is — for the lower animals and for us, the humans.
14. Was the hairy-backed man John Podhoretz? Carlson mutters the name.
15. The annoyingness of Carlson's laugh and how hard you have to commit to do a good enough imitation of it.
16. The energy Joe and Tucker had. Doesn't Tucker wear a hairpiece and Joe just shaved off all his hair.
17. Meeting for coffee and not an entire meal so you're free to leave whenever you want and how some people have trouble getting out of small-talk conversations and this one simple trick that's all you need.
18. The perception that a conversation can't end until both participants want it to end and the way some people keep adding new topics as if keeping a conversation going is a game.
19. The very low level of tennis playing that has you just trying to keep the ball in play as long as possible.
20. How all this talk is taking the place of writing on the blog, but I could just make a blog post out of all the topics that didn't make it onto the blog because I was talking about everything with Meade.
