Even when you "fail," you get so much great, compelling stuff, because he really is that smart and exciting. But I have to say, the interviewer here did an amazing and professional job.

You can tell this bloke is searingly intelligent b/c he has heaps of thoughts and crams them in these wicked soundbytes. He is almost more entertaining than the show itself. Lovely interview.

Great guy and off the charts brilliant sounds very familiar.

I've met Matt Weiner's father on a few occasions and didn't realize they were related. I'm not even sure I was aware of Matt at the time, but anyway, kind of mind-blowing for me. Matt's father is a medical researcher that specializes in multiple sclerosis. I used to set up clinical trials for a company that had compounds in early stage development in neuroscience. I met him at a couple of medical conferences a couple of years ago. Great guy and off the charts brilliant. Small world. I just listened to the first segment and had a bizarro world experience.

There are clips of MW addressing the assembled crowd from a balcony, JH at his right hand with arms crossed imposingly. It sorta looks like they just took over some third-world country.

That's a riot. Roberta and I are not tall women (she's a shrimp, I'm average) and he doesn't exactly tower over us.
