Episode 45- Get Me Roger Stoned

Like Bernie and Jane Sanders drunkenly singing Woody Guthrie with the Soviets, your humble hosts have returned to bless your ears with mellifluous content. This week, we start out talking about “the grind,” meaning both the grind of burnt coffee that made former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz rich enough to mull over running for president this week and the daily workplace drudgery millennials are now pretending to enjoy as they shout “secure the bag” into the high heavens. Our main story this week is the newest development in the Mueller investigation: the arrest of Roger Stone, the infamously foppish former lobbyist. We discuss the non-dog-friendly threats he made against Randy Credico, his supposed liaison with WikiLeaks, as well as the right-wing outcry against the perceived police brutality Stone endured during his arrest. In pop culture, we’re staying in the Stone Zone to discuss the Netflix documentary Get Me Roger Stone and evaluating whether or not Roger lives up to the hype. We also denounce the resurrection of the Dude, Jeff Bridges’ famous character from The Big Lebowski, and his sudden appreciation of Stella Artois as teased in a preview for a soulless upcoming SuperBowl ad. Lastly, we dabble in some visual art appreciation as we evaluate the hand-drawn political cartoons (for lack of a better term) that Jim Carrey has been posting to Twitter lately, and towards which Jerry Saltz turned his eye for a banger of an interview in Vulture with the Ace Ventura actor. Lastly, in story time this week, Sam struggles to prove his innocence as he explains why he was suspended from elementary school multiple times before the age of 10.
