Bropostles

I'm getting my PhD in Milk.


Listen Later

Patrick is back after his Pat-ernity leave with Leo the little lion man. In this dense episode:

  • The guys ask what milk is made of blood and discuss the logistics of taping knives to various animal's legs. They wrap up that disucssion with a riveting conversation about wind resistance.
  • Then, inexplicably, Patrick goes after golf courses. At one point, Ethan slams his pen on his desk in frustration. It brings up an interesting tension between (a) unproductive and wasteful beautiful spaces and (b) utilitarian and cost-effective lifeless spaces.
  • As you might expect, they talk about how mega-suburbia is awful for the human condition and ask how Americans got there.
  • At one in that discussion, Ethans demands Patrick to "explain the Chinese."
  • Also, what are the merits of single family homes? Patrick experiences cognitive dissonance. Ethan issues a disclaimer that he is "uncultured, and generally dumb."
  • In case you were wondering, the structures of classical liberalism faciliated WWII. Wait, are WWI and WWII actually two distinct wars? Patrick suggest no, Ethan thinks yes.
  • WAR! (Hoo! Yeah!) What is it good for? Promoting totalistic statism and individualistic hedonism!
  • Introducing a new segment! POTW! Y'oull have to listen to find out.
  • The good Doctor Ethan - the self-described fun uncle at the party - drops Wisdom on Sophie (anybody? no?) in DEDC.
  • A special post-outro clip, because both Camille Guidry and I think they are funny. Thanks, Camille.
