So, right now, the big thing going on everywhere on the planet is the World Cup. Everybody's watching it. And here in New York, whenever there's a match on, the bars are packed with people following it intently. My friends from other countries are rooting for their home nations. Americans who want to seem sophisticated and cosmopolitan are getting up early to watch the matches. Or, at least they're updating their Facebook statuses to make it seem as though they are.
But frankly, I have to tell you, I think soccer is really boring. And primitive.
Something I like to do with my cat is to give him a little tiny blue and pink ball. He bats it around the apartment for a while, until it rolls under the refrigerator or the bed. Or he just gets tired after three-and-a-half minutes. Like a fat man having sex.
You can see where I'm going with this. To me, soccer is just like people playing the same game I play with my cat. It's guys chasing a ball endlessly, wherever it ends up, until somebody kicks it out of bounds or it gets stuck in the goal.
The upside, I suppose, is that you don't have to remember to feed soccer players or change their litter boxes.

In this week's episode of the podcast, we discuss an activity that tries to pass itself off as a sport: auto racing. And we talk about Jersey Shore. You don't want to miss it.

It's like catnip for our souls.
