This episode is an episode of firsts. It’s our first biweekly episode. It’s our first advertisement-free episode (RIP Smithfield Hams [Rest in Peepee]). It’s our first rawdog. It features our first Twitter Tight Ten segment. For the first time, Lachlan assumes the role of Australian correspondent. It’s our first eighth episode. And it’s our first episode on hometown songs. 

[Line break]

This week, we put some hometown classics into a pot, let them steep, then sip slowly and discuss Tetris marriages, dissect the perfect joke structure, and dabble in ASMR. By examining (to some extent) the songs ‘We Built this City’ by Starship; ‘Palo Alto’ and ‘Fitter, Happier’ by Radiohead; ‘Wagon Wheel’ by both Old Crow Medicine Show and Darius Tucker; ‘More Than a Woman’ by the Bee Gees; and ‘Candy Girl’ by Kiwi, we reflect (to a lesser extent) on our hometowns: San Francisco CA, Todd NC, and Sandgate QLD. Warning! Contains jaw harp.
