How to Run a Diplomatic Summit at a Bar

What if you treated a casual hangout like a high-stakes diplomatic summit? This episode breaks down the real mechanics of diplomatic meeting preparation — pre-negotiation of agendas via non-papers, minute-by-minute runs of show, briefing books, seating protocol, and action minutes — then shows how to apply every single one of them to getting a drink with a friend. The humor comes from the mismatch between the machinery and the stakes, but the bit only works if you commit to the details. From formal note verbales to fallback plans for stalled conversations, we cover what it takes to make a friend feel like they've been through a real — if ridiculous — diplomatic process.
