This episode features a clip from Mediocre Films Black Friday Shopping List Prank. The content is really better watched I think. Also, I only realized after finishing the episode that I somehow managed to exclude “Daddy Butter”. For this I am very sorry.
This episode features a clip from this past weekend's great episode of WNYC's On the Media about American car culture. Specifically, Angie Schmitt of one of my favorite websites, Streetsblog, talking about the dark proliferation of the local news trope of guy-forced-to-walk-miles-to-get-to-work-gets-a-free-car. The whole segment is much better than my crude cut-down version, so don't miss it. The whole episode though, really.

No sound clips, but the music I talked over was "Omnyakane" by Royal Players, "Beer Club" by Orlando Six, "Midnight Ska" by Reggie Msomi's Hollywood Jazz Band, and "Loafers Corner" by Orlando Seven all off the wonderful South African Jazz and Jive (1954-1960) album.
