You obviously won the podcast because of all the research you did about bearer bonds to resolve a potential plot hole from a movie released 37 years ago. No one could do something like that and be a loser. Nope. Not at all!

[Mutters] I knew a lot about bearer bonds too, you know. [kicks ground] [weeps softly]

Damn it, Ben. I didn't need another Substack subscription, but you HAD to go and get McMegan to do one with you, didn't you?

(Mostly kidding. She's one of my five favorite libertarians, excluding a couple of my oldest and dearest friends, but I'd have also subscribed if it were just you and Josh.)

I've been a fan of Megan's since her terrific blog on The Atlantic website. I'm not a libertarian but her good humored logic has always appealed to me and got me thinking. I also love Josh Barro and only discovered you, Ben after Blocked and Reported. I am so looking forward to this and I'm sure the biggest winner will be the listeners!!

All the best on this endeavor!!

We discovered Megan at the same time!

I discovered Ben on Twitter and found his bonkers combination of intelligent policy commentary and completely absurd other stuff just deeply entertaining. (I found it a bonus that people there would get so completely deranged about the absurd stuff.)

I’ll allow it. Can’t wait till Megan SCHOOLS you chauvinist pigs on the awesomeness of child labor.
