We get wordy and reflective this week with our guests, authors Andrew Klavan and C.J. Box. Of course, we talk about Weiners, wives, and the death of shame, but also some insight into the work habits of writers, James meets a radio legend, and Rob discusses his alleged coarsening of the culture.

Andrew Klavan’s new book A Killer in the Wind is available here. C.J. Box’s new book The Highway is available for pre-order here.

Music from this week’s show:

    First, the boys discuss Weiner.  

    Then Geraldo.

    Then later CJ says Liz Cheney refused to “show the Tetons”.

    Now tell me… am I wrong for hearing that the way I heard it?

    It was brilliant! 

    George Savage: Best segue and podcast advertisement ever.  Who else but James Lileks could ad lib the following and have it work as an effective endorsement?

    It’s not one of those things that’s going to make you feel like, you know, you’re licking the wall of a Turkish prison.

    You know what?  After I finally stopped laughing, I surfed over to tonx.org/ricochet and signed up for my trial. · 4 hours ago
