Steve cut out halfway through, and getting him back was a great bollix. In any case, we reviewed some key points of the Great Iran War of 2026, along with observations on the Supreme Court's intervention on the side of California parents (we can't believe this was even an issue, but it is), and then after Steve came back, a mad scramble to the finish. We do manage to get in some important cultural notes, such as the new McDonald's 1,000-calorie-plus Big Arch burger, and talking John down from his first ever visit to Buc-ees.","meta_description":"This special \"Give War a Chance\" episode, the second under our joint sponsorship of the Civitas Institute and Ricochet, had some peculiar technical glitch…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4168,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/3-whisky-happy-hour-589836/episodes/the-three-whisky-happy-hour-war-what-is-it-good-for-absolutely-something/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/3-whisky-happy-hour-589836/the-three-whisky-happy-hour-war-what-is-it-good-for-absolutely-something.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
