Well, we got no class and we got no principals. We ain't got no innocence. We can't even think of a word that rhymes. School's out for summer. We talk Dazed and Confused with Sean Nelson. Sean's record Nelson Sings Nilsson (https://open.spotify.com/album/0shatTlFUPH3fg1x40q1bP) is the greatest. We made a playlist to accompany this episode!

Inspired by our conversation about The Shining (https://www.podpage.com/why-are-dads/the-shining-page-to-screen/), we talked Kubrickian conspiracy theories and Room 237 with our pal Patrick McGinty (https://twitter.com/patrickmmcginty).
