This week, Bannon hits the bricks, Tina Fay quips, and social media gets eclipsed.

I'm Brent Black.

I'm Travis McElroy.

And I'm Rachel Stein.

With trends like these. Hello Brent.

Travis, how is it already August of 2016?

Sorry, 2017.

How is it already August of 2016? The years are going too fast. I can't stop them out. You know, I did, I did have the thought, you know, sometimes the month really gets away from you and it occurred to me that like, oh man, it's like what?

Well when we record this, we're recording this right now on the 23rd, but still that feels so late in the month.

Yeah, it's very strange and like I mean I guess this is just the human condition right the older you get the more time just starts to be like okay now we're at week, week, week, month, month, you're dead.

Like, if you're lucky, right?

Yep.

I guess I should come around and say, I might sound a little weird.

I have a canker sore right on the tip of my tongue and I have a little like

gel cap protector thing over it so that it doesn't make me cry while we're

recording but it might make me sound like I have a very lazy tongue lazier than I normally do.

Does that count as your what you're drinking?

No, well, yes, gallons of my own saliva is the answer to that but also just a glass of clear

filtered water to help keep me hydrated. Nice I am drinking club soda and

today right before we went to record I was like what's the difference

between Club Soda and Selzer and according to a very rudimentary non-journalistic

non-research standard Google search.
