Then we talk Gin (6:00), Matt is drinking the World Class Winning Sheringham’s from beautiful Sooke BC, whilst Epen is consuming the sad, dregs of gin bottles gone by, topped off with an equally sad, still frozen cranberry. Listen to episode 14 to see how that went for Evan. Okay, so here is the real Spotify announcement; Nooks and Crannies is now making Music Playlists!!! Matty offers up the First 11 or so songs he played for Violet, plus En Vogue..cuz obviously.

(11:55) Picture this; a windswept vista…populated by the funniest and most endearing podcasters in my podcatcher’s feed; Lisa and Sam from I Shake my Head Podcast with Lisa and Sam! In this segment of 3 or So Questions with…we talk about their in-car podcast, why people like them, aside from Lisa’s amazing “Tow-soooollld” hairdoo and Sam’s fabou 2019 Spring jacket lineup, or its their extremely firm Canadian accents? Nope, turns out it is all due to the diligent works of (27:10) Hyper Hype Girl (HHG) and the supporting role played by the Dirty Hippy, who it turns out does not stink, but Regina sure does! (30:00) Matty has a colonial-correction for ya’al, probably not the last time you get a correction from me…oh BTW, Matt confused Marcel Mauss with Claude Levi-Strauss on the Alison Smith Episode as well, I am sure you all picked up on this and have since sent in the hate mail. Hey Folks, wanna hear Evan explain the Green New Deal and the Intersectionality of wider socio-cultural and political dimensionality all while adhering to the morality of Marxism? Well if your answer was anything stronger than a muh, be sure to click this Time Stamp: (31:00). Matty learned a ton in this one, hope you all find the GND and AOC as inspired as these gin soaked Canucks seem to… (47:07) Speaking of Saskatchewan, wow..that turn was as hard as that right-hand turn you need to make, after driving 2.5 hrs south from Saskatoon to enter Regina…Hey, did you know that province has the most Timmies per-capita yay! (Canadian Sarcasm), Tim Horton’s is the worst coffee ever…have produced the most NHL hockey players even though Lisa and Sam could only come up with the pretty solid and well liked goon, Jody Mitchell. Then they name dropped Joni Mitchell (who is a legendary singer, songwriter and guitarist from up here) because they share a surname, we discussed canola in heavy depth, much like that not-mountain they mentioned or that former garbage dump ski hill called Black-Strap. Yes folks, hold-on to your Combine Seat…We are talking about the most awe-inspiring province, the New York of Canada, the greatest night out of your life, and home to the most passionate CFL fans; SASKATCHEWAN! w/Lisa and Sam, two fabulous women who podcast from their car!

This week, Nate speaks with Army veteran and author Matt Gallagher (@MattGallagher0 ) about being a veteran writer in the age of online, about his recent NYT op-ed discussing Trump’s trip to Iraq, about how he got his start as an Army blogger writing from Iraq, and how Claire Vaye Watkins’ Battleborn changed his perception of his hometown. Matt's recent NYT op-ed is available here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/opinion/sunday/trump-military-troops-iraq.html You can buy Matt’s memoir Kaboom here:https://www.amazon.com/Kaboom-Matt-Gallagher/dp/0306819678/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550086313&sr=8-1&keywords=matt+gallagher … ...as well as his novel Youngblood here: https://www.amazon.com/Youngblood-Novel-Matt-Gallagher/dp/1501105752/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550086313&sr=8-3&keywords=matt+gallagher This week’s bonus is part 2 of Francis’ review of Generation Kill.

This week, we spoke with 82nd Airborne veteran Michael McGuinness (@beardedcynic473) about a story he knows particularly well: the saga of Clint Lorance, an Army officer convicted of murder in Afghanistan and sentenced to 18 years in prison. As you may know, every war criminal in military prison wants to get RT’ed into Trump’s timeline in hopes of getting a pardon. Michael served with Clint Lorance, witnessed his war crimes, and reported him. Then the real story began. As a side note, let this story be one more piece of evidence in the case we’ve been trying to make: if Alan West is trying to convince you that someone was framed for murder in the Army, he’s always lying. This week’s bonus is a Q&A session for $3 subscribers and above. Do you want to know what we think about smoking weed on your last day in the Army?

Recent stirrings in the defense establishment seem to indicate that Trump’s cadre of goons want to invade Venezuela, or at least destabilize the region in hopes that Colombia and Brazil will invade. To that end, he’s deployed a walrus and his death squad gang to rustle up some trouble. In this episode, Nate and Francis discuss why you should absolutely oppose U.S. intervention in Venezuela even if you don’t know a thing about Venezuela (it’s okay -- neither does anyone in Trump’s cabinet!) Also covered: a story from the Intercept’s Danny Dayan about the CFBP’s “Mulvaney Discount,” in which a guy defrauded veterans for 8 years and got fined exactly $1 for this crime. https://theintercept.com/2019/01/26/cfpb-mulvaney-discount/ This week’s bonus episode features an interview with Nate and Sam Knight, on the topic of DC’s recent ballot initiative getting overturned by its extremely Democrat City Council.
