We’ll do it live! 2022’s first drive-time Remnant is here, and it’s predictably lacking in substance. With Guy and Ryan currently starring in their own production of The Odd Couple, Jonah invites them both into the Dispatch studio for a freewheeling discussion of vocabulary, D.C. geography, and movies ranging from The French Dispatch to Howard the Duck. There’s also plenty of serious punditry mixed in on America’s nightmarish immigration process, the awfulness of Biden’s Georgia speech, and the difficulty of finding purpose in modern society. Tune in and be led to glory!

Show Notes:

– Bill Buckley on the art of big words

– Advisory Opinions on the Supreme Court’s vaccine mandate dismissal

    Welcome to America Guy! I've always enjoyed hearing his views. I loved all the movie talk! Until Guy mentioned Scream..... well, nobody's perfect. Definitely went down a notch in my book. 😁

    Well, I never thought I'd hear anyone at The Dispatch express appreciation for Parliament and Funkadelic. Guy, how the hell were you ever exposed to George Clinton? BTW, my personal favorite is "America Eats its Young", the only album that incorporated all the musicians from both groups in some capacity.

    Pods like this open my eyes and make me think and re-think my positions. What I am finding is that I am not as liberal as I thought.

    Loved the show

    I used to play at the Georgetown Piano Bar a couple times a month from 2018 until COVID. Great spot. Only problem is that around 11 the bar would get taken over by Georgetown students who wouldn't tip us because they just wanted a DJ. Little pricks. One of them actually walked up to me while I was playing one night and asked me, "hey man, do you know what time they switch to the DJ?" I've rarely been more mad in my life.

    I enjoy the banter, but thought it went on a little long this time -- I was ready for the rank punditry well before Minute 45! Also, when you listed New York's peer cities, you forgot the one that comes closest IMHO, which is Berlin.

    Another vote to continue these Drive-Time podcasts. I too enjoy the tomfoolery and jackassery.

    Seriously, there are people who complain about these episodes? To coin a phrase, c'mon man. Of course, I saw Howard the Duck in the theatre when it first came out, so I have probably had covid fog for 35 years.

    Jonah, I’m actually not surprised about your answer to that question as a young man about what you wanted in life. By that metric, you’ve been successful. The Remnant exists (I mean the movement not the podcast). Despite what that MAGA dude said (and I mean what did you expect from those types?) you and David are some of the very few who retained intellectual integrity. I think your comment about David was correct, no offense intended to him. Both of you ARE doing something important. Thank you for the work of The Dispatch. All of you are true patriots.

    I love these episodes!

    Welcome to America, Guy! If I ever make it back up to DC. Don’t have any housing recommendations, but you’ve got to go by the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. And Air and Space, Natural History, American History, and even the Spy Museum (the new one is so much better than the old). I’m not a big Jose Andres fan but Jaleo is a must visit. Rasika’s excellent if Jonah’s paying for you. Old Ebbitt is worth it for the nostalgia. Man, DC is just a great city!

    Jonah, you’re wrong about New York. DC is one of the great cities of the world (London’s great too, Guy).
