John has given his graduation speech, to mixed reviews. Ed eats at a hibachi restaurant, to mixed reviews. The two of them mix it up over eggs fried and raw, cake that is also quiche that is also kugel, covering the Dead, androids that sweat and ants that don’t, how to learn to read and also fend off attackers, and whether Walt Whitman is great or just OK. Follow links to crispy rice and egg bowl, cauliflower and parmesan cake, Justin Taylor’s memoir of his father, an excerpt from Adam Price’s novel, the new Ben Lerner, the Big Book of Jewish Humor, the wise men of Chelm, tweet of the day, Goldmund Unleashed, I Saw in Louisiana A Live-Oak Growing, Utah Beach to Cherbourg, Tokio Table, Pawnsylvania, Old & in the Way, Alyssa Harad’s memoir, and the child ballads.
We start with some technical difficulties and Nicky quickly establishes himself as the alpha. We watch fan fights and sports brawls on Youtube and discuss an idea for our own Youtube videos. We talk internet gangs and goes through the gangs subreddit. We watch a cartel member executed in a hospital, and Nate brings us back to a previous Kim K debate. We google leather midgets, Nicky has some home cleaning advice, and get into another edition of Nate's sexcapades! Jake introduces everybody to the fartini challenge, and we discuss a new condom business. We talk legal psilocybin, then take a break. Coming back, our joints of the week are "Pyrex" by Sean Price, "Connected" by Victor Oladipo and "Moondance" by Van Morrison. Nicky is the galpha, and Marcus Territory is born. We discuss a live podcast nobody wants, joke underwear, and have a little sneaker talk. We watch a baptism fumble and a formula 3 crash, then talk Taco Bell's marketing strategies. We listen to Tom Green's song from Road Trip, and get caught up listening to accents. We watch Pawnsylvania from Kroll Show, and Bayou Benny and Maine Justice from SNL. We talk Jheri curls, watch a public wave check. The show ends with Nicky desperately searching for a bird photo and Nate singing Blister in the Sun. Shoutout all the Larries!
