Okay, we get it. Long-winded regurgitations of all the boring books Joel’s read are boring. Joel’s boring too. You think we don’t know that? Trust me, we know that.

 To give you a reprieve, we’re talking about current events, all the hip and cool topics going on at the time of recording. Sound editing takes time though, so if you’re confused by any of our references to American Idol or the Gulf War, know that we got it out as soon as we could.

Joel and Naomi tackle a hodge-podge of topics in this one, ranging from BS at and about the Olympics to unruly airline passengers, Brittany Spears’ conservatorship (status has changed since we recorded), Andrew’s Cuomo’s sexual misconduct, and Cori Bush’s recent work to delay evictions. No dumb book-stuff here, just the Guy siblings, uncensored and uncut. 

You can find Scroobius Pip’s song, “The Struggle,” here.  Famed angsty teen Joel thinks his best work can be found here.

Current Affairs has a great piece on trans people in sports here.

The Brittany Spears clip this episode comes from “Gimme More.”

Our theme music is “Drop” by the artist Ketsa. If you like their music, you can find more of it here.
