Big Mouth, The British Monarchy, Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness)

Play
Love: Big Mouth

Andy breaks in this episode to talk about the Netflix original animated series, Big Mouth. He and Alex defend it in the face of a fair amount of anecdotal criticism over the weird animation style and the gross-out humor, discuss how damn educational and witty and body-affirming it is, and even touch on the modest controversies it’s drummed up (with casting, not with the skull-fucking of a beheaded Garrison Keillor–that’s just fun for the whole family).

Hate: The British Monarchy

Alex goes full-on petty this episode to discuss his distaste for the British Monarchy. He and Andy talk about its Nazi ties to its colonial ties to its plain old fiscal irresponsibility, all while admitting that they both really freaking like The Crown on Netflix.

Relationship: Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness)

A listener writes in asking for square one tips on how to make a good first impression on a job interview. Alex gives ways to get past the generic and shitty boiler-plate questions, Andy explains how to dress for maximum impressiveness, and even closes out with a hopeful note for all of those who don’t necessarily work in the field they wish they did.
