Episode notes

You have to be careful the younger they get. There's definitely people who are CWT worthy, but there's more to consider for them in coming on the show. I watched a lot of Abbot and Costello as a kid because my father did. Most early comedy I don't love, and I think that tells us something about the nature of comedy. The through line of this episode is the three stuj's remake from 2012.

On this special year-in-review episode, Tyler and producer Jeff Holmes talk about the past year on the show, including which guests he’d like to have on in 2023, what stands out to him now about his conversation with Sam Bankman-Fried in light of the collapse of FTX, the most popular and most underrated episodes of the year, what makes a guest authentic, why he hasn’t asked the “production function” question much this year, his essay on Marginal Revolution on the New Right, and what he’s working on next. They also evaluate Tyler’s pop culture picks from 2012 and answer listener questions from Twitter.
