Beauty Will Save the Warhol
Bowie. Warhol. Chalamet. Need we say more? Paul and Ben reunite to discuss Dune Pt. 2, the fall of an iconic trad arts publication, and how to create a sun dial from a deconstructed milk carton.

Are You Ready for Some Fast Car?
It's Super Bowl Sunday, campers. And you know what that means—Ben and Paul participate in the futile but entertaining pastime of ranking and coronating the ineffable—pop songs, painters, and quarterbacks. So grab an Impossible chicken wing or three and crank the Tracy Chapman, because it's football night in America.

Kendall Roy Pump Up Music
After a hiatus, Paul and Ben return to admit which member of the doomed Roy family they are, the horrors of AI art (have you ever wondered what's going on *outside* the frame of your favorite paintings?), and the glory of Nikola Jokic, Denver's favorite bear who learned ballet.

Drip Tips for Fashion Week
That's right: It's Fashion Week, campers. Not sure what to wear besides your favorite Punisher tee and under armor shorts that go past your knees? Don't sweat it.
Ben and Paul offer a few tips to stay drippy on your local coffee shop cat walk this week, unpack a sexy new prestige TV program about copywriters called "Mad Men", and establish the ground rules for cafe culture in our "new normal" WFH world.
Thanks to Trevor Welch for the groovy, enigmatic tunes. Check him out at trevor.money. -
Ben and Paul Talk to You About Bookshelves
Shhh! This is a library, not a dance hall!
But seriously, libraries are actually a pretty cool place to hang out, no cap.
This week, Ben guides us through the arduous but healthy process of Shelf Maturation. We also talk about our old friend Cezanne, our new friend from the U.P. Joe Pera, and Nathan Fielder, our Canadian friend.
Thanks to Trevor Welch for the tunes, as always. Check him out at trevor.money. -
Special Summer Ep: Camino Vibes Only
Summer is here, campers! Paul returns from walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain with keen insights, a backpack full of good vibes, and one of st. James's finger bones. Ben asks incisive cultural questions like "Do they have trucks there?", and tells us how to spot an American Fascist, a la Umberto Eco. Hint: it's all in the color palette.
We gave Trevor Welch the week off, so special thanks to Canadian boy
band B4-4 for their song "Get Down," a certified summer slapper.
