So, the World Cup is now over. I’m really sad about this, because it impacted so many things in such positive ways. The common cold is finally cured. The BP oil spill has now been cleaned up. The global economy is suddenly booming. Poverty has been eradicated. Human trafficking is no longer an issue. T-Mobile customer service doesn’t completely suck anymore.
But seriously. A bunch of overpaid twentysomethings with IQs on par with George W. Bush run back and forth for ninety minutes, and the whole world goes nuts.
I was having a couple of slices of Grandma’s Pizza in a place called Maffei Pizza on 22nd Street in Manhattan yesterday during the late afternoon, when some people came in as they joyously sang the ole, ole! song. I asked them why they were singing Hot, Hot, Hot, and they informed me that, no, actually Spain had just beaten the Netherlands to win the World Cup. So I did what any self-respecting New Yorker would do.
I text messaged a Dutch friend of mine with the message, Viva España!

In this week’s installment of the podcast, we read a piece of listener mail from one of our regular listeners, and Goldy talks about one of the first trips he ever took to Brooklyn after her moved to New York.
I’m actually really happy with the sound quality of the podcast this month. This is mainly because I’ve finally figured out how to use our fancy new podcasting equipment.
You can revel in its auditory glory by listening here and at SelfAbsorbed.me, and subscribing in iTunes.
As always, please tell friends to spread the word. And write reviews and rate us in iTunes.
You’ll be doing your part for world peace.
