Yea like I get that it's super not an 'episode 1' thing so yea if you're just here for goofs and weird internet humor it's not that but it's a pretty solid discussion and it's nice to hear the actual Branson talk about something he's passionate about.

I am steadily binging my way through E1 during my commute and so far all of my favorite episodes follow the exact same formula of it being them making up ridiculous athletes. it seems like they have the most fun with those as well. the early detroit pistons episode is still my favorite but the games and the terre haute 500 are both hilarious too

Pretty good

The bit about white women with MFAs who get on their high horse about white men with MFAs gave me flashbacks to the I Don't Even Own a Television episode about A Million Little Pieces.

Listening to E1 reminded me of an old SA frontpage article about a (sadly fictional) tv show called Teen Orc.

Of course it turns out that it was written by Branson, in 2014.

Since clearing my podcast backlog during WFH/lockdown times I've been putting on old episodes to fall asleep to, mostly the ones I remember being kinda low key where they don't totally lose their poo poo like the Smithsonian walking tour one and the phantom of rock n roll land... I recommend it

Also I re listened to Who Wants To Be Food while cooking a couple nights ago and I kinda want to do it again already. I'm dinner.

The latest Fortune Kit with Will Menaker is a good one, another John Occhipinti jams.

I love when Will bursts into uncontrolled laughter, I was losing it when they played the songs, they're so uniquely and bizarrely awful
