For Episode 13 we’re a man up as Doctor Towers joins us for a two part episode – this is Part Two!

Discussion Topics:

Dr. Jon Towers is back with us and if you tune in to the thrilling conclusion of Episode 13 of the 9th Story podcast, you will hear:

• 
  
• Dr. Towers plan for his first 180 days on the job at a major-label comic publisher.
  
• Why pragmatism and realism are alive and well at the 9th Story and why you need to go to the 10th Story for tin-foil hat discussions.
  
• Why labels and name-calling hinder good, solid debate and how we as a country got so far off kilter.
  
• A liberal defending the actions of House Speaker John Boehner.
  
• An old-timey true story about a career Democrat urging his constituents to vote for a Republican.
  
• Why Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill were analogous to Wile E. Coyote and the Sheepdog.
  
• Dr. Towers assembles a list of the Greatest Male Characters from Film and Literature. (Listeners will be intrigued by some of the unorthodox choices on this list)
  
• How Frank Sinatra may have actually been the original John McClain.
  
• What happens when you’re unemployed, growing a beard, listening to Nine Inch Nails and making soap.
  
• When a New York method actor will actually ask to be shot in the face.
  
• Why “man’s man” G. Gordon Liddy may have been influenced by T.E. Lawrence.
  
• The similarity between the Pequod and the Battlestar Galactica.
  
• While we all know that no one puts baby in a corner, we oftentimes forget that no one pencils a stripper like Frank Miller.
  
• Why Jerry Seinfeld is consumed by a quest…just like Captain Ahab.
  
• Why Hans Gruber would only be content on that beach for a few days and then he’d go elsewhere to create mischief.
  
• And last, since it’s the “Man Up” episode…remember this…no half measures! Give us a call French Guy!
