This one was really good. Never heard Steve so animated and clinical. He cleverly laid out media bias with just enough tact to get Karl to more or less agree...although he implied it was the suits, not beat reporters like him that harbor bias. This admission was valuable. Steve’s Trump impression, following the fax story, was a 10, grading on a scale since it was from...Steve, from whom we have come to expect more analysis and wine advice than performance. Loved Sarah’s Tyson pull, and both Sarah and Steve did a food job getting Karl to discuss real issues while still being friendly. You come away liking Karl, I must say. You really pulled this off, but, please, let’s not leave the Jonah out again, unless there is a real emergency...not just this virus stuff! Thanks so much!
13:26 seconds into the podcast, I was in the middle of penning a post on how sneering and condescending Karl was with his flippant comment about tanning beds. I'm glad that I listened to the end. He handles his biases better than most and I should be listening to his reporting more than I do now . . . which is none.
And had I not listened until the end, I would have missed Sara pulling the Mike Tyson quote out of mid-air when Karl and Steve failed to do so:
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”
Damn, girl! Are you sure you're not from Chicago? :)
