33. The Trial of David Hume: Edinburgh Part I

Abject lowlifes at the University of Edinburgh canceled its most important alumnus, its one intellectual giant, the enlightenment philosopher who put the city on the map. His name is off the big tower. His statue sits defaced. David Hume's crime: a racist footnote in 1756. Let's sneak over the cobblestones of essays moral political and literary in the middle of the night, while everyone in town's asleep, and find out what these people are missing (or are they right and must I disavow???) -- and whether straight men can be friends.

31. Invisible Republic in London (feat. Yeerk)

Feeling severed from the world? Trapped inside your own hundred acre wood? Tie your shoes. On this tour, we go in circles around a city where nothing is lost that can't be found, where nothing is erased without imprint. We wander story-laden streets, peek down literary alleys, poke our heads into sing-song pubs. We navigate inconvenient sympathies. We recognize a tune. To signal traffic in the narrative chaos, we trust the time-honored cues of the theater. We discuss a movie about a real place that doesn't exist. We go bump bump bump, and begin to construct a fresh map of reality, out of tea leaves long unread...
 
With Yeerk, host of Bistro Californium

SIDE QUEST: Connected to Carlos

Still dark, still wet, still cloudy. The tarot on America reads ambivalent. A "reconstructed being" named Carlos seeks to find my Why? outside The Eagle Bar  in Silverlake at 2 AM. Exorcisms can be heard. The wheels of a BMW are screeching. A psychic break is coming, a tarot bishop says. 
 
All Carlos can do is hug.
 
But can he connect? 
 
Is Al Green really there??

SPECIAL EDITION 12: Nathan 4 Us w/ Zach Langley

Nathan Fielder hits a new level of REALITY in his must-watch HBO show The Rehearsal, and this time, his comic contraptions can offer no escape. Is it a joke? Is it art? Is it...okay? Zach Langley from I'm So Popular joins me to dissect the artistic controversies around the show, the horrific man-woman-Alex Jones revelations from it that nobody has discussed yet, its predecessor Nathan for You, our own related Jewish experiments with fourth walls, and Zach's prophetic reality tv debut as a preteen guru of camp on Strange Days with Bob Saget. 
 
First 70 minutes of an intimate 3 hour bull session. To listen to the whole thing, plus another 30+ premium episodes, subscribe at patreon.com/filthyarmenian
