Fire the Canon

Ahoy, y’all! We’re back and we’re covering chapters 46 through 70 of Moby Dick.  Sorry we were gone so long; Jackie was planning her annual Halloween party (that’s why we were gone, not Rachel’s wedding or bar exam study).  In this part, Ishmael tells us the only good thing about Tahiti, and the Pequod boys finally have an interaction with a whale (spoiler alert - we don’t like it). Jackie introduces her new mini series: Things That Make Me Cry Now That I’m Not Taking Anxiety Meds. Rachel enjoys a regional delicacy.  Bekah has no idea what’s about to come out of her mouth.

Topics include: taking your shirt off to poop, medication sisters, Gandalf’s toxic masculinity, Halsey, Skyline chili, the funniest mutiny, secret Filipino dudes, the debut of our new sound effect for when things are proven to be untrue using Bible logic, Himbology 101, Billy Boyd, French whale art, and British atrocities.
