Whats Wrong? With Meghan Daum

The first official episode of Richard Rushfield's new daily livestream

As if this guy doesn’t already have enough on his plate, he’s now doing a daily livestream.

That means he’ll take any guest he can get, but I was still honored to be the first official guest after his initial test episodes, which are already collector’s items. We kicked off the conversation with Richard telling me he’d just been to a dinner party where the question was asked, “what’s going on with Meghan Daum?” (As in “is she okay?”) That remains unanswered, but we did have a lively conversation about my current obsession, the mayoral campaign of Spencer Pratt, who went to the same high school as Richard, but otherwise seems eminently qualified to run the city of Los Angeles.

Thanks to all who joined, including possibly LA city councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman.

Don’t miss my interview with Spencer Pratt. The first time (and possibly last time) doing an on-location video shoot.

Here’s my extraordinary conversation with Estela Lopez, who works with business owners on L.A.’s Skid Row.

And here’s my conversation about the homelessness crisis and the new “super meth,” with investigative journalist Sam Quinones.
