This is a pretty serious episode. Please be forewarned that I openly discuss the subject of sexual assault/rape in regards to the Harvey Weinstein story. I do not describe anything in detail, but if the subject is a triggering event from you, you may wish to skip ahead. I also discuss pro-wrestling, because I have no idea how to smoothly transition between subjects. Then I close out the show bidding an emotional farewell to Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip. And more! Introduction - 0:00 Discussion of Harvey Weinstein/Sexual Assault - 3:08 WWE Talk - 18:50 RIP Gord Downie - 33:00

This is a pretty low-key episode. I talk through my thoughts on the Las Vegas shooting. It's a more raw listen than usual. I talk about a couple of albums that helped me today; Aimee Mann's "Mental Illness" (which I realized during the upload I've already talked about on the show, but whatever) and the new album by Lowercase Noises, "The Swiss Illness." Mostly, I just needed to talk. Thought it might help me/others.
