He answered listener conundrums, like which Gabfest host would make the best dictator (spoiler alert: it's Plotz). They covered Trump, Taylor Swift, CBS, Cybertrucks, A.I., museum heists, and a whole lot more. It's live, off the cuff, and just as fun as it sounds. \\n\\nEmail your chatters, questions, and comments to gabfest@slate.com.
