Book conventions, cat poetry, & Amazon vs humans

Table of (Mal)Contents

Not every conversation makes sense, but sometimes they really make no sense. Such is the case in this episode recorded in Birmingham a couple weeks back, where our nadir was reached after a hard day of standing in a conference hall. Listen in as we discuss:

• Dave's poor defense of Dave Matthews Band
• Music we'd never let our kids listen to
• Cat poetry after an impromptu on-air reading
• Dave's experiences at a recent book convention
• The pros and cons of getting recommendations from Amazon vs a human being

A few of the books we mentioned on this episode:

• Sulwe by Lupita Nyong'o
• The Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson
• The Genius Files by Dan Gutman
• Dodger by Terry Pratchett
• The Mark of the Christian by Francis Schaeffer
• I Could Pee On This (And Other Poems by Cats) by Francesco Marciuliano

As always, thanks to Lagares Roasters for partnering with us to make the Table of (mal)Contents blend. Pick up a bag (or 12) today.

Just for fun: Here's the Trekkers Sketch from SNL Dave referenced.

And the book we gifted Dave on this episode:

Because of course we're going to give Dave something like this.
