Chad and Brian kick off the new season in near hysterics over the first little chunk of Gilbert Sorrentino’s\u00a0Mulligan Stew.\u00a0<\/em>From talking about the rejection letters\u2014and near batshit reader’s report\u2014prefacing the book, to all the bad writing about the “flawless blue” sky, to the ever-changing dialog tags in Anthony Lamont’s detective novel, to the New York Yankees, this episode is a hodgepodge of jokes and observations, and instant love for this wondrous, wooly masterpiece.<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “American<\/a>” by FM Belfast.<\/p>\n
