I had a random state holiday off today. One of those holidays that honors a terrible person, but you get a day off work anyway, so who's gonna complain. I actually think that's more appropriate. If you were living a day named after a terrible person AND you had to go to work, that would just be insulting. Maybe that could be the compromise to get us to the 4-day work week that has been empirically proven to improve quality of life and we desperately need but won't get because our economy is run by complete bastards. If we just declare one government holiday every single week, then we end up in the same place, and we can name the day after whoever the bourgeoise pigdogs want. It can even be after them! Yes, it would suck to look at a calendar and see Elon Musk Day, but here's the thing: if you're not in your office, and instead you're at home getting stoned in your living room at 10am, why would you be looking at a calendar anyway? Anyway, point is, I walked around the zoo this morning and saw baby tigers. They were very cute. Now I'm home writing this description. And now we go to the next paragraph, where you can read about what happens in the episode.
We start things off this week by discussing our favorite board games and weird frat guys we knew. Then it's a full 3-pack of Guy tales, including a town with some impressively bad ideas, the sad downfall of the man sitting next to Lincoln when he was shot, and a revenge-obsessed Italian military officer who experienced a type of justice reminiscent of a previous topic.
