187 - Giving Each Other Language

Lost Xplorers

JDO gives his AWP trip. Lots of books sold! Many of JDO’s ideas about how culture is were troubled by how cool everybody was. Is the negativity we hear online…just an online thing?

Is there value in starting a collective rather than pursuing publication by an indie press or traditional publishers?

The distinctiveness of Christopher Walken’s accent…and Kris’s. The disappearance of regional American accents, Korean accents, and British accents.

We talk about Taboo and Tom Hardy, and Hardy’s secret rap career. The brilliance of Daniel Day-Lewis, and the troubles with an adaptation with J.G. Ballard’s work.

Super Bowl conspiracy theories. Usher’s halftime show. America’s tryhard lameness and sinister division. Are Americans inherently dishonest people?

JDO’s imaginative challenge gives him free reign to be as evil as he wants to be…but at a terrible cost.
