At the top of this episode, I mention a short film I'm directing...

Dan is back in the saddle in this lost 90s gem with Daniel Stern.

Join Preston and Nathaniel as they discuss their degenerate lives while attending greasy horse tracks, award-winning home plumbing services, and ice hockey in Texas.

Listeners, this one almost broke us. Instead of talking about the film, we talk about The Menu, Jonestown, and whether or not we as humans are doomed to repeat history. Enjoy!

Preston and Nathaniel were driving to Atlantic City for a weekend of carousing, when Preston got a little pedal happy in a small town.
