I Am A Cat, by Soseki Natsume and Lagavulin 11yo, Part 2

Michael and Ethan begin their discussion of I Am A Cat, by Soseki Natsume

In this episode:

  • Immediate digression into Irish stouts, sorry

  • For the record, the line Ethan butchers is “…torment/Of love unsatisfied/The greater torment/Of love satisfied

  • Soseki wrote Lost in the Cosmos 80 years early?

  • We are all burglars and detectives

  • Kids these days

  • Saw, But You’re Chained to a Bear Trap and the Instructions to get out Are in Cursive

  • Good homework boy

  • All narrators are cats
