“If you have any kind of sentimentality in this rotten system, you will lose.” -Nando-Villa

Author, host of the new podcast Shoot the messengerand returning guest Nando Villa joins Pod Yourself The Wire this week to break down season two of season seven The cable“backwash”.

Nando brings up an interesting point about Herc and Carver. They’re another in a long line of comedy duos featuring a dope and his even dumber sidekick (Harry and Lloyd, Abbot and Costello, Matt and Vince, etc.), but they’re also like a couple of Benny Hills. “Yakety Sax” wouldn’t sound out of place seeing scenes of those goobers running around trying to put the proverbial toothpaste back in the tube. In this episode, they go to the spy store, which is definitely a place where the dumbest men swipe their credit cards to buy a listening device that fits in a tennis ball. Laughter follows, but it is The cableso the subtext of this hilarity is that the institutions Americans rely on are rotting to the core.

A journey in The Back In The Day Machine reminds us of the time George W. saw some elephants fornicating and that catcalling is an ancient Roman tradition. The next time you see a man molesting a woman on the street, ask yourself, is he a pervert or a historian?
