Towards Thee I Roll: Four Friends Read Moby-DickEpisode 10: Ahab Could Fix Her – He Could Make Her Worse (After Dark)We're all Team Ahab this episode. We get a little weird, a little playful, a little poetic, some might even call it... theatrical – it's Towards Thee I Roll. After Dark.
This is a fun one, the first After Dark of the Towards Thee era. More in spirit than in reality (it was 4pm for Latt, early evening at best), but the energy was there! 'But what makes an episode After Dark?' I hear you asking. Lattner had this to say:
Hi Gamers, this episode is a kinda chaotic one (as opposed to our other ep...
2023-06-031h 14Towards Thee I Roll: Four Friends Read Moby-DickEpisode 9: Pro-Pipeline, Anti-WhalingHave you ever wondered why they call them tube socks? Have you been listening to us talk about Moby Dick and thought ‘hmm, I wonder what they think about the whaling industry’? Well, good news.
In this, episode 9 of critically-acclaimed podcast Towards Thee I Roll, we finally take a stance – to build more pipelines. But for whales!
We also talk about Tim Horton’s, soil triangles, how being alone and looking out at The Ocean can benefit your mental health (citation needed), our opinions on naps (controversial), and what a ‘hornpipe’ is. We also discuss whale extinc...
2023-05-061h 48Towards Thee I Roll: Four Friends Read Moby-DickEpisode 8: Whale TalkIt’s finally time. In this episode, we find out what a whale is.
We also have a long in-depth discussion about why this chapter exists, the nature of describing things, if things are more or less terrifying if defined, and also another chapter in the book that Herman didn’t even spell right. We (and by “we” I just mean Matthew and Lattner) also talked more about Tal Bachman and his hit 1999 song “She’s so High” then you would expect for a podcast about Cetology. However at this point you have probably listened to this podcast before...

It's been a while since we last recorded an episode – you might have noticed by some less-than-timely references to The Witch Queen and Elden Ring 'just having come out', the last two were recorded back in April 2022. But we're back in full force to meet back up with our old friends aboard the Pequod, make some new ones, and officially kickstart The Year of Towards Thee I Roll.
