You know what really bothers me about Trump? He doesn't have pets. I mean, aside from the mounted heads of big game his evil spawn murdered. Did I mention this already? I feel like I may have...

Anyway, I do not trust people who don't care about animals. And anyway, like his politics or not, BoBama is cool as fuck. I mean, look at him struttin' his stuff:

Eats pizza with a knife and fork.
Thinks anything gold is classy.

Last night at the 21 Club:
Trump, who has a house account at ‘21,’ ordered his usual — a burger, “well-done,” with iced tea.

Jesus, how long have you sat on that one? You do know that that shit is a minor obsession (or at least curiosity) of mine, right?

I've been thinking about you in relation to it since before recording - certainly your framing of US history is essential is the way I look at it - but didn't think you were a guy who liked podcasts, so I didn't wanna impose. And we're at improvised audiobook length, too.

No, I'm not a huge podcast person—I can't listen to it as background noise while I'm working, so finding time is difficult—but US history-related topics are something I'm almost always up for (it is, you know, kinda my thing). Given the length, is this something I can download and listen to while walking to campus or is it only streaming?

:cool:
FYI: We goaded ourselves into including our joke idea of a 18 and a half minute gap in the first part, the Nixon discussion, so you'll have to scroll past that at about an hour 20.

Ha! Better you warned me. I can appreciate the joke in the abstract; in practice, I'd likely have been pissed off. In which case you get to laugh.

The Trumps don't look like a family that care about animals unless it's on a plate or, like you said, mounted on a wall.
