On the Wagon

(Record on September 17th , 2023) Up this week is episode fourteen of My So-Called Life, “On the Wagon.” Jordan and Angela are “sort of” broken up, meaning that Angela now listens to all of his boring stories without the added benefit of a makeout sesh. Rayanne’s 33 days sober and desperate for attention. Tino’s quit the Frozen Embryos and Jordan’s got twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go until he needs to find a replacement for the ex-lead singer. And after seeing one of the band practices, we’re starting to get an idea as to why Tino wanted out. Rayanne tries to convince Angela to get Jordan to let her audition for the band and even Jordan, an adult man with a 1st grade reading level, knows it’s a bad idea. But Rayanne Yoko’s her way in via the drummer and they all spend approximately zero minutes practicing together before their big audition at Vertigo. Rayanne bombs and Jordan has to step in as singer leading us all to wonder why he just didn’t do that in the first place. Given Rayanne’s odd behavior, everyone thinks she’s headed towards a bender, but is she? Patty thinks she is (based on absolutely no evidence) and inserts herself into the situation. Patty eventually goes toe-to-toe with Amber and her blender and it’s no longer peaceful in Margaritaville. There’s a small pool for biggest winner leading both Meaghan and George to surprising choices. George asks if Jordan and Rayanne are good singers; Meaghan asks if Zack Attack is the better tv show band; and since Oliver Stone will never be on our podcast, we’re finally free to say what we think of his movies (hint: they’re too long!)
