Three Ricoteers

Welcome to the debut episode of Ricochet Roundtable, the show with a name that is destined to change. This week, our hosts Mark Steyn, Jonah Goldberg and Rob Long riff on Muslim doughnuts, the budget battles, why Lindsay Graham is persona non grata, and the unique, teachable moment Mark's son recently experienced. Trust us, you've never heard a podcast quite like this one.

Nothing could beat turning on my computer and finding  Mark,  Jonah, and Rob together at last.   Thanks, guys, you made my day.

This is fantastic, EJ!  I have a new background for my desktop.

I like Rico Suave.

But you have to pronounce it "Rick-o Suave" to get the full mileage out of the pun.

Great idea to split the pan-cultural big-picture stuff away from the main RINO-squish inside-GOP-baseball podcast. Given the broader horizons of this format how about The Long View. (What, me pander?)

I note that King Edward's School seems to have changed its uniform.

Rob, you are certainly not the only person who would pay good money for a photo of Mark Steyn in a striped blazer and a straw hat!

Let the auction begin. I bid 3000 quatloos.

Couldn't have enjoyed this initial run more, out in my workshop laughing up a storm.

Concerning the show's name, how 'bout the TriLateral Colloquium. It has that air of conspiracy (albeit lefty, but that just mystifies the critics). Yes, it's a little dry, but the acronym redeems it.

I joined for this podcast.  First episode alone was worth it.

Still laughing about Steyn's observation about the anarchists in the UK demanding more government. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Catchy!  I like it!  Although I like the way Ricochet Roundtable rolls off the tongue.

A roller coaster between hilarious and sobering. Excellent.

And I vote "dolphin".

 Jonah has a charming giggle. As to a name, how about Flesh Wound? Isn't that the best result of a Ricochet? I was laughing out loud - it's a great combination. Andrew Klavan would make another good addition.
