Joel Rose is the author of such
acclaimed novels as Kill,
Kill, Faster, Faster and The Blackest Bird. He is also a dear and close friend of the late, great and
very much missed Anthony Bourdain. Their friendship was also a creative
partnership. Together they co-wrote The
New York Times bestselling graphic novel Jiro Dreams of Sushi and its prequel Get Jiro! Blood and Sushi. Joel and
Anthony's final project together is the new graphic novel Hungry Ghosts.
Joel and
Chauncey reflect on Anthony Bourdain's life and why he is so beloved by legions
of fans around the world. Joel also explains Bourdain's life philosophy, how
they met and became such close friends, Bourdain's strength through
vulnerability and what they learned from each other.
Joel and
Chauncey also bond over their shared working class origins and present,
appreciating their fathers' wisdom and examples, as well as navigating through
financial insecurities and fears.
During this
week's podcast Chauncey explains, again, why it was no surprise that Brett
Kavanaugh and the Republicans were able to win the Supreme Court and con and
intimidate the Democrats and so many others in the news media and among the
public. Chauncey also cuts a promo on cowardly and weak Democrats such as Cory
Booker and other people who actually believe that we should love Donald
Trump's voters and other Republicans because they are our "fellow
Americans".
At the end
of this week's podcast Chauncey shares a very important essay from The New Yorker which details in precise
terms how Donald Trump is a political magician and illusionist.
