Georgia Maq's Tearful Melbourne Show, Stallone's Secret Art Museum Habit & Why the Left Needs to Laugh at Itself

<p>No guest this week — just Ben and Ione, back from half the Australian leg of the Two Most Annoying People You Love Tour with Georgia Maq.</p><p>Ben recaps a Melbourne show that stopped the room: Georgia singing &quot;Rearranging Chairs on the Titanic&quot; in front of her family for the first time, breaking down mid-song, her sister calling out from the crowd. Ben describes playing through it like a &quot;Werner Herzog director&quot; — wanting to preserve the moment while also quietly directing traffic.</p><p>Also this week: Kate gave Ben a signed early edition of Allen Ginsberg&#39;s Howl, which sent him down a rabbit hole back to a night at Sean Lennon&#39;s house and a poem that became one of his songs. Ben and Ione unpack the viral lesbian bar mask mandate story — and why it might actually be the left&#39;s most useful mirror in years. Plus: Sylvester Stallone&#39;s surprising New York Times interview, a Bukowski side nobody saw coming, and why going to the MoMA every day when you&#39;re broke and lost might be the best advice anyone&#39;s ever given.</p><p>Next episode: coming to you from Tokyo.</p><p>Dive deeper into our world at https://weirdertogether.substack.com</p>
