- Meeting nobody in LA- The Cuomo Concern Fund- The Fifth is always right about fakers and liars- A somber message- An emailer, who is not a Patreon subscriber, sends an annoyed message. Moynihan is unimpressed- Nino, why do you make me do this? - Lads, what is your level of Biden concern?- Accelerationists: What comes after the acceleration? - What Miami hotel will house Matt Welch? And does anyone care?- "The first day the Iron Dome was going ham"- Kmele's contrite about promo codes. Cut him some slack- The Fifth Column takes a formal position on the Bay of Pigs invasion- What on Earth is going on with Moynihan's hair in his new special?- Kmele, the forgetful dosist- And about another hour of content...

The lads (minus Kmele, recently felled by his second Pfizer shot) welcome Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano, host of the new LAT podcast "The Times" and author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America. Note that after an hour of Gustavo's trademark Southern California/Mexican smack talk--in which he defends Taco Bell, ruminates on "LatinX," explains "Tio Tacos" and "Chicanosauruses," and describes American ethnic tensions that don't involve white people (!)--Moynihan and Welch return to discuss the on-going disasters in Israel, the economy, and the Republican Party. Sure, everything is awful. But as always, The Fifth Column is here to point out just how awful and reassure you that it absolutely won't get better in the near future.Recorded May 12, 2021 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
