Your mileage may vary, but this seems to me like a very sensible conversation, at least on Reihan’s side. A good interviewer is hard to find.

With the film noir lighting, you guys should really be wearing fedoras and smoking squares.
I’m usually critical of interviewers as well, Reihan seemed to do well.
Fascinating conversation. My only criticism would be to never do an hour long interview without a pitcher of water available. It looked to me like you really needed it at times. Thanks for slugging through it!
One hour well spent. Good overview and discussion. Liked the “Yul Brynner” look going on.
bravo! I like Reihan and it’s good to see the two of you team up.
