The last three episodes of Roderick On The Line (607: Buffalo Sober, 608: Texting Bitch Face and 609: A Mule with a Checkbook) work great as a trilogy. The conversations and thought technologies in them are good examples why I love this podcast so much. (I’m not too sure if they’re good starter episodes, though. They could well be.)

On this show I play a new song by Valley Lodge; I am trying to understand the rules of Australian Rules Football and which teams to root for; why do AFL players kick into coverage most of the time? I need an Australian to mule some AFL gear to the USA for me; we play a new round of “Is This Asshole The Asshole”; Ed Piskor is in trouble; Taskmaster Season 17 starts this week! Roderick on the Line has been on a roll; I sold a drum kit; I don’t know who Ben Shapiro is and I don’t want to be told; the outrage industry needs an enemy.

In this episode I play a song by The Gentle Readers; I am back on the Eat To Live plan after almost two years away; retirement also leads to engineering what the rest of your life looks like; using the older men in my life as positive and negative examples on how to age; I had a surprisingly rational conversation about assisted living; I have volunteered to help with Reloadio; the first listener who can identify the seam between the two chunks of the show will win a free t-shirt shipped anywhere in the world; I watched the Black Sabbath movie; the change in the social contract about phones in fascinating; capitalism and the short term focus drives me insane; layoffs make me insane; getting laid off changed my entire approach to work;

In this episode, I play a song by Doctor Deathray; for once I had time to do the show and no mojo to do one; I always predicted that my golden years would be on fire; talking to people seems harder than it used to; we went to a murder mystery dinner; grampa is making life so much harder than it needs to be; it sure seems like publishers are bad at business including publishing; Nathan Lowell’s podcast is back; Nate only reads indie published books; can we agree that Bean Dad was the most harmless internet flareup?; I don’t care about the McElroys or Maximum Fun; the American left is great at policing the people who aren’t lefting the way they like; Warren Ellis seems to have crafted a second act.
