Going at it Hammer and Tongs

This episode of America’s Most Trusted Podcast® is notable for both who shows up and who doesn’t. But James Lileks is our rock, welcoming our own Bethany Mandel into the co-host’s chair, and Dr. Samuel Gregg author of the upcoming book, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization.

Then Bethany and James delve into the miniseries, Chernobyl, and explore their, er, generational differences.

Music from this week’s episode: “When I’m Sixty-Four” by the Beatles.

    I too watch the new Father Brown TV series. I can usually guess who did it since the guilty party is almost always the least woke. But in one murder, the lesbian did it; so they are not completely consistent.

    Is a lesbian automatically woke? That doesn’t seem to necessarily follow.

    I have yet to find a woman with a crew cut and a Trump tattoo.

    Excuse me while I rush off to do that Google Image Search…

    No, wait, I need to preserve the little sanity I have left.

     Maybe she was one of those bad lesbians who oppose permitting six-foot-three, 250-pound women with Adam’s apples in women’s athletic competitions.
