Matt Storrs sits down and explains rodeos to James Mac a comedian and former bull rider/team roper. Did you know the origins of this wonderful sport? Matt seems to think it has a basis in dressage. James sets him straight, but we're left with lingering questions about the source of clothing on Rodeo Drive. There's danger, there's competition, and there are more than a few inaccuracies.

Matt speaks with reluctant podcasting expert Tristan Miller (@tristanjmiller) and they do a podcast about podcasts. We discuss the link between NPR pledge drives and new podcasts as well as male discomfort with friendship. It's far too inside baseball for a second episode, and it's an absolute delight to listen to Tristan try and listen to Matt get podcasting 85% right. Just wait till you see your favorite podcast merch as prolific as football jerseys. Surely we got something wrong and I can't wait for you to tell me what it was.  See Tristan at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago on November 10!!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/manic-impressive-tickets-431270029267Learn more:Hellhttps://www.tristanjmiller.com/focus-testing--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-storrs/support

Matt speaks with a Satanist and gets a shocking amount right. Satanic panic and Highlight Magazine linked? Possibly. Seitan, a covert Satanist food item? It could be. Is "Covert Food Item" a decent band name? We think so. Dresden Visage, who does not represent the Satanic Temple in any way, sets Matt straight and we learn that Satanists can be Protestant too.

The I-Land is a bad show. Like LOST, meets BACHELOR IN PARADISE, meets WATER WORLD, but also worse than each of those things. We(Hattie and Matt) know this because we watched all of it. Now you don't have to.

You're welcome.
