In this episode we discuss the epic 2014 Championship Playoff Final between my beloved Queens Park Rangers and Derby Country with promotion to the Premier League on the line. We are also joined by QPR NYC's Dunstan Bentley who was at the game and shares his impressions of the great day. Then Doug introduces us to The Americanization of Emily from 1964 starring James Garner and Julie Andrews, a film that was ahead of its time in its questioning of the morality of any war with a screenplay by the brilliant Paddy Chayefsky.

In these challenging and stressful times, we're here to keep your blood pressure in its sweet spot (120 over 80 according to the American Heart Association) by talking about the things that put us in our happy place. Starting in February of 2021 that thing will be the Muppet Show (1976-1981) as Doug and I go episode by episode through one of the seminal shows in television history. With a list of guest stars that reflect almost every popular cultural trend in post-war America, the Muppet Show is a fascinating time capsule from an important, though often ignored, period in American history.
