We want a long pig who's ready for the real world [We Want a Rock – They Might Be Giants]
This one is a tongue twister, a regular is back, once again we shove a meaning into the lyrics like Cinderella's stepsisters shove their feet into a glass slipper.
But it is a coherent lesson of life growing up and the man getting you down, and long pigs.

Miss the point while sounding confident
This episode, we take on “Missed the Boat” by Modest Mouse and end up talking about regret, comparison, stubborn ideas, missed opportunities, adulthood, and the strange confidence people carry while mostly making things up as they go. Along the way, we argue about dams, pillars, promotions, death, whether anyone really knows what they’re doing, and why sometimes sounding confident is enough to get you surprisingly far.
