So, I wrote the Andor Season 2 cover story for Empire and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do. (If you’ve been wondering, hey, what’s Mike been doing? Well, this is it!)

Hi Zohran, both me and Kate live four blocks from Gracie Mansion. Do you want to come over for movie night? We could also come to your new house if that’s better for you. Have you seen Staying Alive or Flashdance?

Well look, if you spend the most money and buy all the best players you should win the World Series. It’s only fair.
