Episode 44: My American Brain

I'm currently lying in bed writing this, because I nearly forgot to actually upload the episode after editing it. Cool! My cat Freddy is sitting serenely next to me, like a sphynx. Everyone reading this should say "good boy Freddy" out loud. He can't hear you obviously but I like to imagine he feels it spiritually. I ate some Cinnamon Toast Crunch after we finished recording, I'm hoping it doesn't affect the quality of my sleep. Can't be having weird milk dreams all night. Hey, speaking of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, we start off this episode with discussion of early pandemic-era food controversies on twitter, plus the guy from The Monkees taking on the deep state. Then, 3 more fascinating tales this week, from a prime minister whose death was commemorated with repeated cruel irony, a woman whose tragic and strange car crash death remains a source of controversy today, and a legendary early football coach with an all-time great hater achievement.
