209 - Throbbing Butt Pain

Throbbing butt pain

A lot going on here. Not the least of which is how wet Russ is.

It's difficult to convey the joy and relief of the three of us (Kit is back, DUH) getting to sit in the same room together and chortle about college football for the first time in two years. Drinks and snacks abound. And a song even! Also, listen to us misuse words like benefactor and disillusion!

A show note - around the 19:55 mark, Tony incorrectly posits that the host of Spotify's Bandsplain podcast is named Yasil(?). Bandsplain is hosted by Yasi Salek and she is incredible. Listen to Bandsplain.

Through the miracle of modern science, we are back and fast-casual-spicy as ever. We enjoy a couple Narwaters from local heroes Monday Night Brewing and begin chipping away at the collective, generation-defining grief of the past year+.

Everything is fine! College football has started except also it hasn't yet! Kit is back (duh!)! A 25-minute chat became an 85-minute chat! The audio is bad! And there's internet latency! Russ referred to Florida's stadium as Doak Hill! This is Russ's podcast now!

Okay, there's a lot going on here. This is our first attempt at recording remotely ~i n t h e s e u n c e r t a i n t I m e s~. We used Zencastr for remote audio, and it works really really well, but there's some 60-cycle hum that I can't remove. This whole thing is an audio adventure! We drink BeatBox Party Punch and talk to Jeff Chassner, who runs sales there. My expectations were admittedly low(ish) going in and Jeff shattered them. I don't know how much party punch I'll be purchasing in the future, but it is a really interesting product. We listened to a single by John K. Samson that will melt you just like all of his other songs. This was fun and challenging to record and put together, and I'm really happy we did it. 

"Unconscious ignorance is not stupidity." 

This episode is a mess!! We offer you the finest under-informed tepid takes on healthcare, Europe, emo rap, Doritos, team flu, and there's an entire beer and song! Also ... starting at 35:30 Russ describes his own wenis, which should not be missed. The whole thing, just an absolute mess.
