Summary

Yes, we're talking about sandwiches — which, to Bradley, almost constitute a religion. What matters most is not the food itself but the human connections that surround it: the first po'boy that made him fall for New Orleans, the brisket at a Texas wedding that defined a circle of loved ones and the fish sandwich in Bellevue that made him feel like an adult for the first time. Plus, Bradley responds to a listener who challenges his description of Mayor Mamdani as "a nice guy" and assesses Ben Thompson's argument that defusing opposition to data centers is quite simple: just give people money.
