  "textContent": "Sometimes it's good to get back to basics. We have been enjoying a nice run of guests recently, and have produced some decently delightful episodes as a result. But at its heart, this podcast is about two middle-aged men honking at each other about sports and other things, and as such, it is in our best interests as its stewards to return periodically to first principles. From time to time, you gotta honk.\n\nThere is a decently normal episode of _The Distraction_ embedded within, one which features both a discussion of the NBA playoffs and a fairly nuanced assessment of our absolutely rancid political moment. For me, it is mostly about the honking. When we discussed what kind of TV is best to watch at the dentist, that is honking. Sharing our experiences of getting enormous flannel sleepy pants as a Christmas gift, and being glad to have them? Honking. Our free-associative response to the listener voicemail reopening the question of Hero Sandwich Discovered In Public Bathroom, which begins with us listening and learning and ends with me telling a story about seeing a man who is notably _not_ Dave McKenna using a sandwich bag as a wallet? Buddy, you already know that's honking.",
