Everything is Personal

Distracted Walking, a Deep Dive on Henry Ford, and Living with a Narcissist

Episode Summary

Sporting dueling EPMD and Led Zeppelin shirts, get ready for a shocking kickoff to this week's show as Len and Jonathan discuss Len's hair-raising near-death experience this week while walking the dog. Len also goes deep on Henry Ford's corrosive anti-semitism and influence on segregation in the early 20th century and its effect on how music fans enjoyed live music in the 1920s and 30s, while hip-hop artists you know and love go on the spot in a new segment called Overrated/Underrated. Len also serves up healthy portions of Ozzy Osbourne on Have You Heard, Reefer Madness gets a hearing, and Trump Derangement Syndrome and the ugliness of living with narcissistic personalities goes under the microscope.
