MATTSPLAINING

Fresh off their time at San Francisco Sketchfest, Matt Storrs uses his resting NPR voice to discuss the bands of rampaging horses with Hayden Kristal (@haydenkristal).  Hayden clarifies some of Matt's most offensive inaccuracies while also providing insight into what it takes to care for Squidward and the rest of the 6+(?) horses for which they care. Plus the magic of a Mustang makeover and the comfort of riding leggings and breeches. 

Comedian Glen Tickle (Dry Bar Comedy), joins Matt Storrs to talk chess only for Matt to "Mattsplain" the game. Matt discusses the romantic history of chess and how it related to the standard exchange of pheasants.  How Queen's Gambit will reshape chess and how scandal could usher in unexpected chess-related kinks. Game Theory, Magnus Carlsen, Hans Niemann, competition, intrigue, good high-quality conversation. This episode has it all.

Matt Storrs know a lot about tarot, less so about the bodies of water in Egypt. The parting of the Nile?? Not so much.

Possibly. There's a brief discussion of the Jungian interpretation of the metaphysical and how currants are the most mystical fruit.
