"What combination of ingredients might make for spectacular mess of a story? The 1970s? A big party in an industrial loft? What about a long rope, one kiloleter of lager, and the desire to make a gesture so grand it will impress the woman of your dreams. Get ready, y'all. We haven't seen hijinks as misguided as these since the infamous night burger fiasco."
"Our guest this week is Allegra Frank! Allegra Frank is a senior culture editor at The Atlantic, where she primarily covers movies and television. Allegra brought Rachelle some gossip about going Lady Whistledown-mode on Xanga back in the day, and then Rachelle told Allegra some vintage gossip about two mountaineering boys who would rather climb huge blocks of ice than learn to make small talk."
A chaotic 1970s industrial-loft party centers on a long rope, one kiloliter of lager, and an oversized romantic gesture intended to impress a woman, resulting in spectacularly misguided hijinks reminiscent of a notorious night burger fiasco. Additional gossip includes a teen-era Xanga episode adopting a Lady Whistledown persona and a vintage tale of two mountaineering boys who prefer climbing enormous ice blocks to learning small talk.
