Books & Podcasts Bessel van der Kolk on The Ezra Klein Show -- "One of my all-time favorite podcast episodes. It changed my life. Everything you know about trauma is screwing you up." Off Menu -- celebrities describe their dream meal. The Amanda Seyfried episode taught Merlin about a kind of olive he now puts on Brussels sprouts. Mr. Show with Bob and David -- source of the "hey everybody" drum bit Merlin does throughout. "I'm very, very, very specifically stealing it from a bit about the new Ku Klux Klan."

NOTE: This episode has been reuploaded to correct an editing mistake by so-called Captain International!It's the last B-side episode in our hattrick of pre-recorded shows while old R-Boat is over in Z-Boat! There were some technical difficulties during recording but hey, we're truly international, so we.... kinda sorted em out! Look, we don't have Off Menu money or whatever that one is with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes money. We're just two lowly podcasters tryna' go intergalactic. We're indie and proud. Fuck Thatcher.This week's episode covers arguably the weakest song from Queen's 70s output, "Mad the Swine". A song that 100%, definitely, categorically, absolutely DOES NOT belong between Ogre Battle and My Fairy King, no matter what Roger or Bri say about it!If Kev were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it “Mad the Swine”, or possibly, “This little piggy should have gone wee wee wee, straight down the shitter!”NOTE: Skip forward to 13:02 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the very excellent "Darling of the CBC" from Absofunkinlutely's black album, Residential Gas Leak. When checking for residential gas leaks, it's best to call out a qualified plumber. When checking for groove-laden jams about the state of the music industry, it's best to call out a qualified Cardinal!
