Episode 6 - Dave, Steve and the Waters of Babylon

Roy, if you had a job what would you do?

 I think this is the best episode we've talked about so far.  There's a great deal about identity, which is a central theme of the show, as well as a bunch of biblical references.

There's a lot of casual anti Semitism in this one.  Well, frankly, there was a lot of casual anti Stimitism in 1960, so that tracks.

Peggy is going to write copy!  It's like watching a dog play piano.

As much as Don is a really awful guy, when he does putdowns, they are glorious.  I'm speaking of course to what is shown in the accompanying photo.

I mentioned a Reddit user during the show, but forgot to give him/her credit, the user in question is SimpleJackTorrance.

Episode 5 - Steve and Dave Reveal What 5G Causes

See that's a clever title.  Episode 5 of Season 1 is entitled 5G, and, some dummies think 5G phone networks cause umm COVID and I think abortions and it'll turn us all into something to do with umm, ISIS and make us wear masks or something.  Look, thinking like these people is hard ok?

We find out about this whole Dick Whitman deal this week.  Well, Steve did, I found out in 2007.

The show continues to talk about identity and role playing.  

This is, for me, the first sad episode. It brings a tear to my eye every time.  Other episodes are sad of course, and the series, generally, is very dark, but this one traditionally heart braking.
