We're back, baby!! The boys have not figured out how to make the podcast remotely because we're very stupid and neither one of us has a computer, but fear not!

Josh Lathe

Hey folks, Alex here. Right off the top, I'd like to apologize for the incredibly bad audio on this episode. We all sound like the vocalist from Coachwhips and for that I am sorry. What I'm not sorry about is how incredibly high-quality the jokes and riffs on this episode are. We have local comedy legend Josh Lathe on to discuss Bob Dylan's weirdly right-wing Christian music. Also: The inaugural GrifterWatch, the boys do Bob Dylan impressions, and a long exploration of The Power Team.

Folks, every once in a while the Big Friends get a wild hair and want to try something out, and here's the thing: it's good every time. For example, here's our very first call-in episode!

Thanks to all who called, we're just now realizing that we only posted that we were starting to take calls in the Discord, so we'll put it on Twitter next time.
