Scott had extra content in the form of a conversation with Michael Ian Black. Don't know who that is, or why he prefers to be known by his full name, but he was smart and courteous, and flustered Scott a little.

The conversation was instigated by a Tweet Scott made saying you can't have a worthwhile conversation involving politics with people who believe the news is real. There's enough truth in that statement to have a good discussion except...

Too much of the discussion involved the "fine people" hoax. I recently listened carefully to how Biden worded things when he was campaigning, and there was implied meaning in "fine people on both sides", but not explicit accusation. It was a brilliant tactic as evidenced by the outcome. Who's brilliance, is unclear.

I dislike when Scott is high while livestreaming because he's less articulate, even slower than his normal slow self, and is less sharp. This, despite his claim that we couldn't tell if he was high or not.

I'll have to check out Michael Black's ideas. Would have liked to see Scott unpack the reasons why we should be more skeptical of news and his methods of giving weight to the validity of information, instead of boasting about times he was right.
