    Oedipussy

    Welcome to an actually funny episode of this thing! Ben walked into the Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles and embarrassed himself immediately. We also talk about New Jersey, seeing extended family, anxiety, Trump, Jackass, an ad for protectjews.org, and we confuse the story of The Odyssey with the story of Oedipus Rex. Whatever. It's all Greek to me.

    Chicken Fried Brain

    Ben's brain is once again in the grips of insomnia and no sentence he utters is safe from trailing off into absolutely nothing. Nonetheless, we press on. In this episode, I don't remember what we talk about. My mind is shattered. Yeah, Ben is the one who writes these descriptions. The jig is up. I *think* we discuss: - Wikipedia - Jeffrey Epstein (briefly) - the disaster in Garden Grove, CA - the song "Summer Girls" by LFO and the origins of the band's name - the band New Kids On The Block - Mark and Donnie Wahlberg.

    Transcendental

    Welcome to another episode of whatever this is. We have officially transcended. Or something. It's in the title and it doesn't matter. This is a doozy of an episode, and by "doozy" I mean "episode". So it's an episode of an episode. Words are a helluva thing, aren't they? Sometimes they mean so much. Other times they mean absolutely nothing at all. We generally prefer the latter. In this episode we discuss: - Trazodone - Tyler's hat, what it is, and and then a further explanation of what it is because the initial explanation is utterly insufficient. - The Jamaican accent - Repetitive music like ska, reggae, and reggaeton. -Capocollo (which Ben mispronounces as "capicola") vs gabagool. - The word "finna". - The fact that the midwest accent is not really an accent but is rather just bad English because it doesn't differentiate itself enough from the general American accent to actually be considered something new. - Joe Biden and old senators - Ben's experience with an edible - The video game Panzer Dragoon
