We did our usual all-calls show earlier this week. Except that our phones didn’t work. And our computers were messed up. And there probably wasn’t any running water. But the point is, we couldn’t actually take your calls during our all-calls call-in show this week. So we decided to try again. This hour, the conversation winds around to Trump signs around the neighborhood, cheeses, grilled cheeses, Viktor Orbán’s re-election hopes, Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat on Prime Video, Tucker Carlson … anything. Seemingly everything.‌ Music featured (in order): Father Time – John Martyn Traffic Lights – Flea, Thom Yorke Steady – Victory Laugh You Out of the House – Everything But the Girl (2012 remaster) The Old Law – Father John Misty Alchemy – Cam The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.
