Michael and Ethan continue their discussion of I Am A Cat, by Soseki Natsume

In this episode:

A rubber seal of waxy approval

Like real men, instead of feeling our feelings we drink our whiskey

(If the audio seems jumpy in a couple places it’s because Ethan’s software was glitching + Ethan is bad at editing)

The cat is an Every Man

THE REFERENCE IS TO “ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA” OF COURSE

Modern Major General lyrics, for reference.
