Fistula with Walnut Sauce (ft. Delicious Tacos)
After a run of guests who are total sweethearts in addition to being huge fans of the show & Knausgaard, Lauren and Drew, longing for some friction, welcome the notorious sex writer & Knausgaard skeptic Delicious Tacos to the pod. Turns out the pseudonymous de Sade actually bears a lot of similarities to Knaus (albeit much hornier) - but can L&D convince DT that KOK is actually pretty OK? cheat sheet: 0:00 - Drew expatiates on the Jewish summer camp ritual of "Minty Balls" 9:20 - DT shows up and and we transition quite seamlessly from Minty Balls to Prostate Nodule. Prayers up for DT. 27:43 - Lauren tries to situate DT within the Every Man/Underground Man spectrum (or is it a dichotomy? who gives a shit) and we somehow end up talking about Evangelion and Sally Rooney 40:57 - Lauren critiques DT's (disturbingly?) ripped physique and Drew tries to liken DT's relentless winnowing of his own form to the relentless reduction and editing that powers his prose as evident in his tightly-structured novel FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS 1:18:42 - Lauren makes the mistake of inviting DT to join us for the first ever OUR STRUGGLE PERSONALS SECTION. Thank you to Delicious Tacos! We had a great time & we sincerely hope the diagnosis is benign.
