Ep. 148 - Misanthrope

The guys discuss the origin of the word that describes a person
who dislikes and avoids other people - misanthrope.  



Scott and Steve discuss how a play from French playwright Moliere
helped to popularize the term and ponder what it means to be
an 


Imaginary Cuckold (while dying of tuberculosis).



On the "Origin of Eatcies" segment, the guys talk with Ron Romano
of the McRib and Me podcast about everyone's favorite 


restructured pork - the McRib!



And, finally, Steve explores the life and career of one of his
all-time favorite writers and (self-proclaimed) misanthropes -
Miss Florence King. 



Most importantly - don't ever, ever FaceTime anyone at 8 AM on a
Monday.
