This  week, your celebratory but pensive team take a peek at New Years' songs  and wonder about when the world will have a new year. Lachlan tries to  carry the feeling of the season, which he does valiantly despite  generalised resistance, though he is briefly confused about why Jesus is  famous. Along the way, we talk about tricky animals, New Years  Accelerationists, the Christmas legacy of Phil Spector, and the  complicated atlas of viscous foods in the US. We also, completely  organically, Address The Ham again. In this episode, recorded in and on  our end-of-year limbo, we cover "In the New Year", by the Walkmen,  "Happy New Year", by ABBA (which compels Lachlan to repeatedly bare his  feelings about ABBA), and "Auld Lang Syne", by the Irish Rovers. It's  maybe our worst recording ever, owing to Lachlan having a reaction to  his house's heating and Jess being lost by sexist microphones.

This week, your surprisingly-vigorous-considering-how-corpulent-they-are team walk down the aisle to wedding songs, specifically songs from Jess and Kip's wedding last month. On the way toward spending time with "Celestial the Queen" by Blue Oyster Cult, "Raise Up" by Petey Pablo, and "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses, we address the challenges of putting animals on trial, playing Wagon Wheel at the wrong time, and washing cornholes at the right time. We also, after two years' podcasting, at the heady rate of about one episode every two months, struggle once again with recording technologies.

Dear Listener, 

We invite you to take a pause from life's pleasures so you can listen to this week's episode. Today, your lil trickster team does a parody episode, because we each have chosen a parody song (“Jesus Ranch” by Tenacious D, “Bloke” by Chris Franklin, and “Hey Hey We’re the Monkees” by the Monkees) and we also don’t really do the episode at all. Instead, we spend around 45 minutes on visual gags, get nervous about how the political right is taking over humour, and discuss who can get into heaven, and just how horny you're allowed to be there. Jess also lies about when she went to the flea market.
