Careful man, there's a beverage here, huh?

Does anybody here know how many times I've had to watch funny lady?

I'm going to get that gun of mine, and I'm going to change you from a rooster to a hand with one shot.

Hey, how's it going?

Welcome to another episode of Who Shotcha?

I'm your host if you Wadi We're in the booth with me,

this film reviews editor at the rap

Alonso Geralday was good well if he it's pretty back by the way I had a lovely time

at the Virginia Film Festival in Charlottesville, but I realized taking a plane

journey that airplanes are the only place I read anymore. So it finally gave me the opportunity to get to a book that I've been sitting on for ages and dying to get to,

which is Karen Tongsons, Why Karen Carpenter Matters. And, you know, Love Karen was honored to work with her for so long here a pop rocket in this

very booth and now reading her book it is this wonderful mix of sort of cultural biography but also memoir and also cultural criticism

where she looks at at Karen Carpenter's life, not you know every single beat of it but

you know in the broader strokes talks about how you know the her own personal stuff is reflected in the music or not reflected in the music talks about how much the songs meant to her how she was in fact named for

Karen Carpenter and why the Carpenter songs are super popular still in the Philippines

so just it gives a lot of super popular still in the Philippines.

So just it goes in a lot of interesting directions.

Made me want to dig up some, you know, like B-Sides, I'd never heard before that she references,

but all in all a very entertaining

book you know whether or not you have strong feelings about the carpenters it's just

a really solid and very personal piece of cultural criticism I enjoyed it very much.

Yay! That's awesome. I never knew Karen was named after Karen.
