Premium 299: The Coach and the Banker

At the time this recording was made, Coach Cal was leaving UK, the eclipse/rapture had yet to happen, and the J Geils Band was still ruling the airwaves

..regardless of the actual work (real or stolen) it just feels a little gauche to call what your administration is doing some variant of "X-omics" while it's happening.
that's for historians to decide, after the fact. In the case of Bidenomics, it always felt like - essentially - spellwork. You're saying something is happening, and you have a word for it, and thus it is so.
If what you're doing is profoundly different enough that it warrants being called "Bidenomics", it would be plainly obvious to everyone what that meant. It would be something that was felt and experienced, throughout the labor market.
Instead, whenever I try to google for it in a "no, I mean for real. Like, what is it? Is it anything? Because I feel like it's not anything."-way, what I get is the equivalent of sheepishly shuffling your feet and mumbling something about making domestic markets more competitive.
...that, and it's very jerk-off-motion to name it that, clearly drawing from Reaganomics, which is strongly associated with grifts, scams and flim-flam by anyone who knows anything about it.
..And it's sorta pathetic to give a favorable nod to the party that's ostensibly your opposition. Man, this whole thing is so ill-conceived.

"but.. wouldn't a flat Earth change the parabola of sending up satellies?"
..I think Tarrence has literally thought more about the logical implications of having a flat Earth than actual flat-earthers have.
Yeah, a lot of things would be different, and you can work your way backwards from that to conclude that it's probably not the case that the Earth is flat.

regarding ep 338: look, i may just be a bimbofied country lawyer, but it's my opinion that biden hasn't been "the best president for labor since FDR" or whatever tf these lanyards are all on about, he's been PRESENT AFTER some of the most decisive and high-profile labor activity since FDR and he swoops in after all of the smoke has cleared to wave at the camera and fucking take credit for a hard won fight he and his cabinet did not, themselves, lift a single cryptkeeper finger in support of. if he was a real force for labor he would have been there since AT LEAST the Smalls firing.
Biden's admin is doing ACTUAL disgusting and reprehensible valor stealing. and it just makes it all infinitely more unpallitable to me.

Since Mississippi John Hurt was mentioned, I wanted to share the news that the historical marker noting he used to play at an old store got stolen a week after the Mississippi John Hurt museum, a 200-year-old sharecropper shack full of Hurt memorabilia burned to the ground the morning after the museum was put on the National Register of Historic Places. The fire was first ruled as electrical, but has since been deemed suspicious. Link in previous comment.

...Tom should get into reading by working upwards through completely defunct and transparently cynically written tripe, while adhering to strict stages of literacy.
So you start with "the Hungry Caterpillar who started a small-business in Happy Town, and Got Booed for Doing So!" and work your way up to "Dreams from My Father".

On a serious note, "We have a podcast that looks at the way the mainstream media talks about Appalachia, especially since 2016" is a really accurate, neutral way to phrase it. Then mention you've had on Nick Offerman and Sturgill Simpson and Cory Booker and Matt Whatshisname

Oh shit. I just remembered I was latching onto Tarence talking about how nothing is ever going to get better, which is one of my own bugaboos, so I was suggesting an episode entirely on the subject of cultural entropy.

Whenever I fall out of the habit of reading, my first book back just has to be a page turner. An exciting fantasy novel or a mystery. This is the book that gets your body and brain back in the habit.
Your SECOND book though, Tom, should be Red Round Globe Hot Burning by Peter Linebaugh.

Im happier than a 2 peckered billygoat in a whore house that I was not raptured.
I couldn't think of a more horrific hell than being stuck with a bunch of uptight motherfuckers and sober. Nope.
Fuckin American sports isn't even worth watching any more, football any way. You get 2 options, A- over paid mediocre arrogent shitbirds with TBI who whore themselves for fame or B- unpaid poor kids playing the hunger games for their chance at becoming mediocre ball whores.
Neither have anything more than dollars to strive for.
The NFL doesn't downgrade rankings like soccer teams in the rest of the world get if they fail to win games.
Even American soccer is bullshit. It's just a bunch of shit teams stacked with a few big named players that far passed their prime but will still drawl crowds here because we're too ignorant to know better.
It's all about the fuckin dollars here, not the skill or the game.
I miss watching a really good, well played game.
Fuck you capitalism for killing the god damn joy of sports. Capitalist cunty fucks *shakes fist in southern fury
