Our Struggle

The Power of Lo-OVE


Listen Later

Our Struggle returns, and this time it's "just us boys"! This is a vibes-packed episode that is sure to alienate any new so-called intellectual listeners we may have gained via our show with esteemed Gen X critic Christian L but who gives a shit, we're vibing out like it's the first weekend of 1985 and Dad has left us a basket of fresh shrimp and a 500 krone note while he's away at a seminar.

The passage we cover starts at 141 in Kindle, not sure what it is in paper sorry

cheat sheet:

12:54 - One of our most ghastly segments yet as Karl Ove consumes liver pate on toast while lying about eating shrimp in aspic at the NYE party. CW: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF SHRIMP IN ASPIC

37:15 - A truly inscrutable passage involving a visit to Grandma and Grandpa and a tablecloth 

51:06 - Dad is away at a seminar, thus kicking off a remarkably and delightfully 80s teen movie segment of My Struggle (and one of Lauren and Drew's favorites)

SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: I have created an Our Struggle playlist on Spotify to help you achieve maximum vibeage after the episode. Listen and let yourself be transported to a sunny Saturday morning in Kristiansand, Norway in 1985, you’re walking around town as faces flash by and the world is full of possibility…..

As always, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out at [email protected] or [email protected]
