We've got a special number for ya, folks. Instead of a guest or even politics, Charles Cooke, James Lileks and Peter Robinson talk football and music. Tune in for a recap on the Super Bowl—get Charles' take on the season and the Lileksian review of the game's ads; plus the two of them give Peter a serious crash course in post-Beatles pop music!
- Sound clips from the open are from the State Farm, BMW, CeraVe ads, along with The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964.

A lovely bit of humor from Charlie around the nineteen minute mark, "...or even the CIA in a non tyrannical state". Good one as we have a regime trying to remove its opponent from the ballot and political prisoners rotting in jail. Are the vandals from the Archive sitting in the DC Gulag?

Regarding Ellen/Elliott Page, what are people's thoughts on name changes? Not the whole debate about the reasons behind it, but the change itself. I see two camps. The first is Ellen to Elliot. The second is Bruce to Caitlyn. The first seems boring, simple, and not much of a change. The second seems brasher. I'm not a creative guy but I'm with Bruce. If you're going to make the change, might as well go big and break from your old name.

More episodes like this please. Peter, you are the perfect foil as the uncool Dad for James and Charlie’s giving you the inside scoop.

I haven't listened yet, but I'm going to be very concerned if there's no reference to and even a clip from the song of the title.
