The podcasts are always great but I had a particular fondness for some David Lynch/Los Angeles time.

How can Tucker make that “I’m interested” face for so long? If I saw someone giving me that face I’d figure they weren’t listening.

I think he had work done to make it permanent or has prosthetics to hold that pose

Haha. I imagine him saying “there you go”, “good point!” and “you got this” regardless of relevancy to question. Like an empty headed customer service robot.

It's funny you mentioned how he smelled to me. One time 12 years ago or something. I bought a cologne in particular because of the sales pitch of the counter person ,(or maybe it was their pleasant disposition, so I just told them to pick one) . They said "this particular cologne had a dark mellow smell for a professional person that didn't have time to have more than one cologne. It would be used by someone powerful like Vladimir Putin".

Now I wonder how I would be affected by the same marketing.

...gotta ask, where did you buy the cologne? Something tells me it wasn't Cedar Rapids...

It was a Macy's in Chicago.

They sold me a bottle of Dulce and Gabbana the One.

Amazing--thank you for this. Much preferred (though my Russian is very rusty these days).

Too bad that Vlad didn't take the little hope of convincing anyone with clout as an opportunity to go lateral and baffle Tucker some more: skip 1000 years of Russian history and, instead, expand on the importance - for the leader who wears the pants, and tight ones at that - of exercising superior erection control, in particular when interviewed by a flirtatious news anchor such as CNBC's Hadley Gamble back in 2021. Complement that with an expression of all-encompassing shagging-anything-that-moves love of humanity. That would have been a departure from the gay warrior vibes of his bare-chest outdoor antics and potentially the running start of a total image makeover.
