Two hosts unwind with tea and soup, bounce from Usher to Steely Dan, then dive deep into The Sandman’s “The Sound of Her Wings.” We trace Death’s quiet mercy, Hob’s stubborn hope, and end with a joyful Paul Simon cover that lifts the room.

• quick hits on Usher, Steely Dan, Nightfly, and Larry Carlton
• tea rituals, Ayurveda warmth, and why soup season works
• Bridge of Spies vs JFK, Mark Rylance’s craft, El Camino’s epilogue energy
• Jesse Plemons as the friendly psychopath archetype
• The Sandman S1E6: Death’s rounds, function as purpose, tenderness without sentimentality
• Hob Gadling across centuries, friendship that outlasts pride
• ethics and immortality, timeline quibbles, Doctor Who parallels
• Paul Simon’s Loves Me Like A Rock: gospel harmonies, Muscle Shoals, Dixie Hummingbirds
• favorite covers: O’Jays, Ramsey Lewis Trio, dream pick Queen
• chord talk, flat seven lift, arranging a live outro without a fade
