Description

Love: Mythology

Andy decides to keep things nice and light to discuss his love of the entire pantheon of mythology. He and Alex compare favorites (yes, we like the Greeks--we're boring like that), they get into a lot of comparative anthropology, what happens after you die (not us, you specifically, reading this), and of course, a prominent Simpsons reference.

Hate: Van Halen

Alex takes his Hate time to try and string together a nuanced take on the importance and influence of the band Van Halen despite what he considers to be their complete suckiness. He talks a lot about the essential nature of Eddie Van Halen's guitar-playing techniques (despite many to follow doing it better), the shittiness of their song-writing, and how they're generally just plain boring. Andy offers a very soft defense while also complaining about the Rolling Stones, and everyone agrees that Gary Cherone is terrible.

Relationship: Mr. Heckles

Changing things up this episode, our question this time is coming from Am I the Asshole? and concerns a landlord wondering if they are, in fact, an asshole for evicting a tenant for not abiding by their vegetarian-food only lease clause. Alex confirms said asshole-ishness to Andy's delight, and everyone agrees that it's our duty as Americans to lie to our landlords.
