Tune into today's episode about This Is Water by David Foster Wallace.  I have talked about DFW on the podcast before, re: Infinite Jest.  This Is Water is arguably DFW's central thesis of his entire body of work, and it is a beautiful reminder to live a more compassionate life.

Cast your mind back to the halcyon days of one episode ago, when we spent more than an hour talking about wacky licensed video games with Aaron's brother. Fun times, right?

Now, pop your earbuds in and listen to us talk about the borderline catastrophe that was Sony's plan to blitz the online stores for the PS Vita, PS3, and PSP (all of which Aaron owns, none of which he regrets buying), and the threat that poses to the preservation of games both new and old. It may be a bit on the heavy side, but it did prompt Aaron to say something semi-insightful for what may be the first time in the glorious history of SPR.
 
Additional high points include a fleeting mention of the Oscars, yet another discussion about The Last of Us, a startling lack of cat noises, and Zak winning the game of grammar moments before revealing his catastrophic bathroom crimes.

Hey, what did you expect?

Also, a divide can surround something; Aaron is just a dumbo.

Sean and Jess discuss the joys of discovering great new music, movies , and books and how they push that "euphoria button" in us all. 

Ben Harper’s love and knowledge of music is as impressive as his long-running career. He shows why on the latest People Have The Power as he takes host Steve Baltin on a geographical and historical tour of his favorite musical cities and artists, from John Coltrane and John Fahey to Bob Marley that have shaped his work.

Someone threw a drink on me. Probably I deserved it. 

Dead dogs, aggressive dogs, downward dog, and hot dogs. This one’s plump and juicy. 

#What made the internet angry this week?

We decide which book is the ultimate 'white dude owns this but has never read it' book of all time, Elon Musk makes a hard left turn to Bond villain after his advances are rebuffed by a bunch of Thai boys, Dale turns on his hero Jordan Peterson, we sell out to the alt-right, Amazon fails to keep up with demand on the shopping holiday they invented, why retail sucks, a fond farewell to Greyhound, Things That Gave Dale Gout.

Talking points:

• The ultimate 'white dude owns this but has never read it' book
• Jordan Peterson is a dangerous cult leader
• Elon Musk is not used to hearing 'no thanks'
• Elon Musk is a messianic huckster
• Subprime Day
• Nothing sadder than a dead Greyhound

Songs:
'You Can Count on Me' by Trophy Eyes (Derek's pick)
'Dark Saturday' by Metric (Dale's pick)

We get a little serious in this episode as we discuss Oscar hopeful Brooklyn. The absurd comedy starring Colin Farrell, Colin Farrell's mustache and narration by Rachel Weisz, The Lobster gets assessed. The biopic The End of the Tour gets a look in with all the seriousness and depth that a film about David Foster Wallace deserves. Finally, vegetarians run for the hills! Hungry Hearts is given an in depth look in. Things turn scatalogical near the end, as per usual.
