The Great Hiker Returns, Can I Lie By Omission? and "When I Point A Finger Three Point Back At Me"

Welcome to another episode of the Modern Moron.  An episode that you may enjoy? Or you may find quite boring.  If you're off the scale in either direction maybe you'll contact the Moron? We have a double barrel moron episode this week as The Senator, aka the Great Liker comes back to talk about his favorite subject: himself. What is a "Liker".  You know those fishermen that tell those wild fish stories.  This is the same thing only in this case it applies to hiking. We talk about his hiking trip around the Lake Tahoe rim trail.  His account of the trip and the accounts I have received about the trip are very different and unsurprisingly the Senator recalls the trip... where he had to drop out for several days, full of laughs.   About halfway through this episode I get tired of his hijacked hiking stories and I ask him about the dialoguing sessions from his marriage retreat-follow-up-work he and his wife have been working on and it seems like a pretty big-time commitment even for the most devoted couples. Then, being a moron, I make the mistake of going back to the goddamn hiking trip.  Maybe this trip will be one of those that no one ever finds out what really happened.  I have reached out to one of the individuals that also was on the trip. They have placed the value of their friendship with the senator over being interviewed on this riveting podcast.  So I don't think we'll ever find out. I will just have to take what the senator says in accordance with the reputation he has earned which is that he is full of bullshit.  Riders On The Storm - The Doors WMG (on behalf of Rhino Elektra); ASCAP DUELING BANJOS ~ Guitar & Banjo Song ~ Deliverance
