Confusionism

Nate comes on the podcast to get to the bottom of the allegations against Ellen, Mitch McConnell advertisements, photoshopped noses, killer junkie parrots, and pickle-obsessed hotel guests! Bulitzer also gives us more harrowing tales of life in the slammer involving evil doers Mugsy and Bugsy and Cook County’s watered-down coffee. I don’t necessarily trust Buzzfeed. Recorded 7/29/20.

In Confusionism’s third literary episode, Kerry and Nate discuss Charlie Kaufman’s new book, Antkind, Coraline, a brutal short story by Hemingway, South Park’s f**ked retelling of Great Expectations, Nate’s Victorian Lit class, and Stephen King’s On Writing. An objective failure. Recorded 7/29/20.

Today we’re watching Sideways, and we are not drinking any f**kin’ Merlot! Recorded 7/14/20.

Water and bread! Kerry and Nate discuss Tarantino, Westsylvania and the Republic of Texas, and we called Chicago for an exclusive prison update from Freddie Bulitzer, who details life on the inside and reveals the inner workings of his underground cigarette racket and how many timbers he shivers a week.

Also: Patrick Means discusses his favorite acting roles, umbrella assault on stage, his time “in” the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, his favorite Led Zeppelin albums, The Big Lebowski, and Cowboy Bebop! So what if I thought the Beach Men were the Beach Boys? Recorded 7/13/20.

Kerry, Nate, and Barry discuss their Florida Man stories (featuring barbecued child molesters and a pizza-related argument), the dumbest ways to die (including a Snapchat death), an author’s deadly hidden treasure, good bullsh*t meters, movie recommendations, and the genius of Trey Parker and Matt Stone! Recorded 7/12/20.

In our second literary episode, Kerry and Nate discuss dreadful Steely Dan books and other sh*tty books about classic rock, Fitzgerald and his cool ways of putting things, Nate’s latest major disappointment, Charlie Kaufman and three-month long movies, our favorite Hemingway books, and Nate’s analysis techniques! This is Nate, signing off. Recorded 7/12/20.
