296: Jon Snow Is An Idiot, A Cave Full Of Babies

Matt Lieb, Brendan, Bret, and Vince Mancini in the Frotquarters this week, talking Alex Jones, Game of Thrones, a Tod Maffin Update, Crystal Corner, and some wonderful improvised songs sung to royalty-free music.  Opening - Matt got a traffic ticket, from a cop who wasn't even in a car. 6:15 - My terrible Alex Jones impression and our weekly Alex Jones-ridicule session. Also, Alex Jones' fans are now apparently accusing him of being Jewish. 10:00 - We started talking about Anomalisa, but then Daniel Plainview showed up for some reason.  14:03 - Game of Thrones talk! Were you "fist pumping the entire time" during this past episode or did you think it kind of felt like half-ass Braveheart? Has Jon Snow learned nothing? Discuss! Or don't! [SPOILERS FOR 10 MINUTES] 25:39 - An inexplicable detour into Smash Mouth 31:30 - Matt got into a fight over Ghandi. Topic - does modern discourse allow for enough nuance that a public figure can be both good and bad?? 37:33 - In what's becoming a recurring segment, Brendan has some tales from public radio.  41:42 - The Tod Maffin Update. Today, how to identify millennials hoo-mons. 54:20 - CRYSTAL CORNER.
