After last week's two Patreon subscriber-only Zoom calls, the lads are back with a Sunday afternoon recording. Some of the weird, awkward, important things discussed:
- That hair is really something else
- Getting around NYC on filth bucket trains and in new cars
- We've given up
- So be honest: is anyone still terrified of this thing?
- The requisite Covid talk
- The necessary Song of the South talk
- RIP Little Richard and Florian Schneider
- "Reader" mail
- Update on the Black Spiro Agnew
- A shooting in Georgia
- Caleb from Texas asks about state-sponsored propaganda
- Something silly got a Pulitzer. Kmele?
- You don't need to write crappy history to "start a conversation"
- Lies that his teacher told him (Sacco was guilty, Vanzetti only slightly less so)
- The poison of narrative history
- Kmele recants
- Matt doesn't believe in experts
- A birthday gift to a Honduran in Berlin
- A listener asks: should I become an opinion columnist?
