Couth in the Time of Cush

Today, the gang embarks on a mission of utmost importance: helping Cush find his couth. Along the yellow brick road to a couthier Cush, the gang breaks out into spontaneous dirty 90s songs and:

  • Takes a metaphorical detour to the Awful Waffle to pay homage to the late great Anthony Bourdain.
  • And learns to place their orders in authentic WaHo lingo.
  • Hunter bemoans the recent censorship of Looney Tunes classics.
  • And the gang discovers their cartoon personas.
  • Hunter’s weekly rant on “the feels” finally gets its theme music.
  • Kerry rattles off the names of at least 5 different kinds of pasta.
  • And old world-style medium-bodied reds. (“Grenaches and bordeauxs and cab francs, oh my!”)…
  • And goes on a blind friend date with Cush’s wife.
  • Leading her to return with an earful for Cush about his drinking habits. And eating habits. And… manners in general.
  • And the gang considers the possibility that Cush’s wife just might have it in her to hold him underwater, Paige VanZant-style.

Everyone say it with us now: “shar-COOH-ter-EE!”

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
