It Was A Short Summer, Charlie Brown – w/ Nicole Dieker

We wrist-wrestle with 1969's IT WAS A SHORT SUMMER, CHARLIE BROWN, in which the boys take on the girls in a summertime battle of the sexes, and get their dumb, uncoordinated butts handed to them for the better part of a half-hour. Special guest Nicole Dieker joins us in an episode recorded in the middle of the damn ocean during this year's JoCo Cruise. Pour yourself a tall glass of Electrolyte Solution and watch it on DailyMotion. Topics of discussion include: adults vs. children vs. tall children; a stone soup / Wizard of Oz mashup (not in Latin); the proper rules of "hangman", and Nicole coining the phrase "hangdoodle"; Garbage Snoopy Land, with alternate Snoopy creatures; You can hug a meatlump, but can a meatlump hug you back?; Asshole Blanket Gymnastics; the migratory habits of Brazilian potato chips; the rise of the Matriarchy. Our guest Nicole Dieker is a freelance writer and a senior editor at The Billfold. She can be found at @hellothefuture or NicoleDieker.com. Questions? Comments? Dump them into our asking box.
