Bob Guccione Jr. is a legacy publisher and the founder of Spin Magazine, amongst others. His father is the founder of Penthouse Magazine. We chat about TJ keeping odd hours now that he’s back from his travels, the myth of vacation weight gain, gentrifying the remote villages of Sicily, Pyrex clothing is still alive and well, Chris is into movies now, a child vlogger in business class, we don’t know shit about food, heretical pasta thoughts, transcendent noodles, not all of Bob’s employees loved him, the wine gets better when you get rich, life is all about attitude, Bob misses a good dialogue, will critics have to operate anonymously in the future? his thoughts on Graydon’s Air Mail, the passion of investigative journalism, and do you want to die on your feet or write on your knees?
