This was a really spicy interview with about his stroke and the quack doctor who follows him around; the $20 million worth of ads targeting him; and how he uses social media to serve up endless crudités of mockery to .

Btw we intentionally did not edit out anything — even the ums and ahs we usually do for others — from the interview. I think you’ll be surprised by how well Fetterman is doing post-stroke. In fact, I stumbled more, 11 years after my own stroke (tho I suspect that is just usual)

Can't wait. Have listened to Clinton and Cuomo. I was surprised how defensive Cuomo is about what went down. Felt a bit entitled which was surprising. I think because he misses his old life.

Curious if you will also be interviewing any of the GOP candidates before the midterms?

Great, introspective but timely interview. Why can’t our elected officials be more open about their challenges which are, for the most part, the same honest challenges of their constituents!! Fight the fake news with humility, vulnerability and truth!

this interview included maybe thirty seconds of discussion of policy (aka his three bullets on how to improve the economy) — felt like a missed opportunity for substantive discussion about how government can actually make change
Good vibes. Good times. I'm glad you both survived strokes and can go on to fight the good fight.
