Weird, overlong, and predictably devoid of substance, the drive-time Remnant format returns for another broadcast. Although today’s program begins with analysis of the January 6 hearings, it swiftly takes a turn for the eclectically surreal, as Jonah describes his obsession with pharmaceutical fine print, Ryan ponders the greatness of American dining halls, and Guy provides an account of his visit to a Kiss convention (yes, really). Oh, and to prevent things from becoming too pointless and indulgent (yeah, right) a few thoughts are also sprinkled in on the weakening of institutions and our fragile culture.

Show Notes:

– The Dispatch breaks down the Jan 6 hearing

– Jonah: “What I Got Wrong About Fascism”

    Considering that this episode featured the longest sustained conversation about Kiss I've heard in my lifetime I was disappointed it didn't cover Mini Kiss. Certainly any conversation about the band should acknowledge their foremost Little People cover band.

    No you won't. This is a podcast.

    You know, the "no you won't, this is a podcast" doesn't have to be the guest. It didn't start out that way. You can just have Guy or Ryan record it.

    I'm a weird one

    Im kind of a pseudo expert on the history of kiss and their lineup changes.

    And yet I do not listen to them and have not done so since 1979 (when I was 8)

    I did have the Kiss Color forms and I was tuned in the night of "meets the phantom of the park"

    I do like Mike's idea for "stoned" whiskey. Definitely prefer it that way, little ice cubes dilute it too much too fast. I know, I know, diff podcast.

    I'm fine if you ditch the end gag. I do appreciate the post-outro out-takes, but only when you feel like it - otherwise the humor is lost.

    LOVED this podcast. You guys are so funny when you're spitballing. NPR Politics Podcast...I'm Emily and this podcast is recorded at _________ and events might have changed by the time you hear this...... I think you all are talented enough to riff off of this, no problem. Keep up the Drive-Time. One of my favorite podcasts of all time!

    Read this WSJ opinion piece a while back that reflected some of my own feelings about Under the Banner of Heaven as a Mormon/Latter-Day Saint. Perhaps others might find it interesting. https://www.wsj.com/articles/about-those-dangerous-mormons-under-banner-heaven-dustin-lance-black-latter-day-saints-11651783480

      I loved that piece. Similarly, McKay Coppins published this in The Atlantic just this morning, and I think it synchs really well with the same ideas: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/06/under-the-banner-of-heaven-hulu-mormonism/661279/

    I would be perfectly fine w/ your dropping "No, you won't. It's a podcast." It's just a silly ending.
