Join Mike back in the studio late at night, where he goes for a long memory jog trying to remember what that Disney movie “The Shaggy DA” was about. He could just Google it, but doesn’t want to farm out his memory to the phone. It’s something we should all resist.

Later, I ask if there’s a statute of limitations on synchronicity. I wonder this as I drink a toast to George Foreman, who died Friday at 76, a few hours after my mom asked me if I wanted a Lean, Mean Fat Grilling Machine she had lying around.

Also: should I change the name of this show? I talk about why I picked THE MIDNIGHT CITIZEN as a title 15 years ago, standing in line at a Spirit of Halloween store after a car accident. And let’s talk about “The White Lotus”. Why are people dumping on Season 3?
