UPDATE: Some listeners have had issues with the sound on the original posted recording. We've adjusted the levels and re-uploaded. If you've already downloaded the show and are having difficulty hearing, all you need to do is delete it and re-download for the adjusted recording. (Or try here.) Enjoy! With Peter up in the air, we needed a guest to lift our grounding in the Metaverse. Enter Walter Kirn: novelist, memoirist, Substacker and Tweeter extraordinaire and now a resident of Montana. Walter gives his take on never-ending mask madness, flying the coastal coop, and his upcoming book: There's a Bear in the House! The man hold no punches at a time when a red-pill a day keeps the kooky bores away. Rob and James marvel over the number 30 trillion; they weigh in on CNN's latest severed head; plus Whoopi Goldberg and humorlessness generally. And Rob really wants you join Ricochet–the best place for free speech on the net! Music from this week's podcast: Montana by Frank Zappa
