Today, we’ve got Part 1 of an absurdly long conversation about GREEN EYES AND YELLOW TULIPS, the fifth episode of the Novacom saga. We get to meet Mitch, our bisexual king; Whit and Bart Rathbone have unresolved tension from their unforeseen previous sexual liaison; and in the last 30 minutes, we have a funny and really heartfelt conversation that’s a bit out of character for us.
Discussion topics include:
-9/11
-Reclaiming the comfort of Bible stories without the religious baggage
-Various shades of yellow
-Magnanimity with our parents
-Erotic games with Listerine strips
-Bird ambulances
-Jan. 6
-How many denominations can we name?
