Description:

It finally happened: I (Aaron) finished the book I’ve been struggling to read for months, and Barnabas and I decided to talk through it while Dave was on vacation. (Because that’s what friends do.) Listen in to a surprisingly earnest discussion about family dynamics, what Dave’s doing on vacation, and our desperate need for coffee:

  • Why all of Pat Conroy’s books are an emotional rollercoaster
  • The risks of writing honest memoirs (even if that memoir is told as a work of fiction)
  • Why it’s a huge mistake to order iced coffee (or coffee in general) from Chick-Fil-A
  • The difference between experiencing spoilers in books and movies
  • What Stephen Ambrose captured about the character of young men in the 1940s that seems to be missing in our generation
  • Which podcast blend from Lagares Coffee Roasters is the best one (hint: it’s ours)
  • How this podcast is saving a listener from living in squalor
  • Barnabas’s thoughts-and-prayers request

As always, thanks to our friends at Lagares Coffee Roaster for partnering with us to make the Table of (mal)Contents blend. Order all the bags you can handle today.
