All three of the lads agree: this one was really fun and quite long (Ed note: so fun, in fact, that Moynihan quite literally fainted after recording it). It’s a long ramble through all of the stupid and annoying things that have come across the transom in the past week. Such as….
* Swearing daughters
* Beyonce’s new record and the worst piece of writing ever published in the New York Times
* Moynihan reads it aloud, including all the ::;;::;; and italics
* Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and other boring old people / Kmele thinks Boston is Chicago is Journey
* Someone is naming their kid after Moynihan’s daughter. Not really but sort of.
* Slavery, in black and white
* The attitudes of today are not the attitudes of then
* A few out-of-print books on Cambodia
* French converts and trashing Connecticut
* Parenting, politics, Huckleberry Finn, and Ben Carson. Obv.
* Moynihan turned around and Kmele was singing “Moon River,” to a room full of baffled Japanese people (*with audio!)
* What we recorded in S.F….
* Are we pulling punches with people we dislike?
* And another hour of amazing material!
