Episode 301: Woo Hoo Hoo, It's All Been Done Before
Show Notes Episode 301: “(Woo Hoo Hoo) It’s All Been Done Before”
This week Host Dave Bledsoe reveals a plot by big bar owners to overthrow his right to rack up bar tabs like a True American! (Even the evidence is overwhelming, no one actually cares...so you know, just like real life!)
Along the way we learn that Dave only carried around Infinite Jest because he thought it made him look smart, but never actually read it. (Which is exactly why EVERY man carried around Infinite Jest.) From there we head back to 1932, a group of righteously pissed off veterans and a Marine General named, Smedley Darlington Butler. (If you giggle at that name in front of a Marine, they WILL punch you!) Then we will earn all about how a bunch of rich Republicans thought what America REALLY needed was our own Mussolini, and how they were going to get us one.
Our Sponsor this week is Plan A Putsch, when you want your coup to succeed! We open with a week in May and close with Tom Stitzer explaining it isn’t deja vu.
