390 - Freegobble: Return to InfoPrison

Ever have a job so shitty, it haunts you years (or even decades) down the line? Paul and Arlo have, and it’s called Gobbledygeek! Hey-o! In all seriousness (?), Paul recounts a traumatic experience at Shakey’s Pizza and Arlo is filled with regret over his time at the right-wing call center InfoCision. Cue flashbacks to high school football teams ravenous for wings and evil televangelists separating the faithful from what little coin they carry. Speaking of the latter, Arlo laments Kanye West’s evangelical turn on Jesus Is King. Elsewhere, Paul watches TV, including Succession, Primal, Daybreak, Watchmen, and Modern Love; and braves crowds of drunken revelers at shows for Bastille, Joywave, Trampled by Turtles, and The Avett Bros.   Next: TBD.  THE BREAKDOWN Total Run Time: 01:39:58 00:00:33  - Intro 00:01:12  - We are NOT sponsored by the Gobble meal delivery service 00:07:30  - Cold pizza and really, really hot wings  00:14:43  - Way too much about InfoCision 00:43:48  - Not nearly enough about some great new TV shows 00:54:08  - More than a little bit about Succession 01:07:20  - Unfortunately, we discuss the new Kanye album 01:15:30  - A Popeye’s chicken sandwich interlude 01:17:15  - Back to Kanye (and controversial comments on Beyonce) 01:24:31  - Lastly, Paul’s been to some concerts 01:37:05  - Outro / Next THE MUSIC “This Fucking Job” by Drive-By Truckers, The Big To-Do (2010) “Blastoffff” by Joywave, Blastoffff (Single) (2018) THE LINKS “Charitable donations benefit telemarketers” by David Evans, The Washington Post Gobble meal kit delivery service (who is NOT a sponsor of our show)
