Hobo Radio 269 – Can I kiss it?

It’s hard to define art. What one person sees as a beautiful artistic expression can just be a series of paint blotches to someone else. And what someone sees as an artistic photo of people’s feet can be seen as a creepy collection of foot fetish photos to someone else. This week on the podcast, Lars shares the story of a lady friend of his who encountered a man claiming to be a photographer looking to take photos of her feet, but quickly turned out to be a man on a mission for foot porn.

The dynamic duo also discuss terrible sports fashion choices, bad parking etiquette and the brilliance of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. And, Joel shares a ridiculous road sign he recently encountered.

What makes The World’s End a five-star movie? What can you buy for $15? Is tucking a jersey in ever appropriate? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Already Dead” by Sincerely, Iris
