Try the “I Like It” Gambit with our latest Curbcast, with our take on Larry's baby names, his defaming brick and his solution to the Irma problem. Trust us, this episode would kill at an AA meeting.

Have you ever taken a quiz to know where you fall on the political compass? Are you liberal, conservative, authoritarian, or libertarian? Thankfully there are more options than those. Today I talk about how we can know where we call on the spectrum and how that knowledge can better help me to love my neighbor.  P.S. In this episode I said that Noah Millman's article came out on the "League of Ordinary Gentlemen" blog. That is incorrect. It was on the now defunct "American Scene" website, which is available thanks to the reliable Wayback Machine.  Articles mentioned Notes Towards a New Political Taxonomy - Noah Millman Tanner Greer's Summary of Millman's article A Better Model of Political Categories - N.S. Lyons (paywalled for subscribers)

The Curbcast is back for what is supposedly the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm! In the first episode of the season, Larry must contend with his glasses being stretched out by a big, “freakish” head, a farbissiner housekeeper, and whether a dog can be fat-shamed.
