00 – I’m not here!


Alright, once again I’ll fill in for the tardy Garon. -Darryl

This is a free episode for the masses, mostly due to Matt’s alphabet completion OCD

Matt tells about a dude who could have been in Hamilton as Burr but was too much of a goof off and a jackass during the workshops

Garon is late because of work

Matt’s jackass dude was in Brittany Runs a Marathon and other good stuff

Matt and Jimmy try to psychoanalyze jackass dude’s reasons for being a jackass

Jimmy allows no excuses for the dude

Shadows of the Night

Life advice from Jimmy: If you have a chance at Broadway, take it seriously

Talking about the Democratic Primaries

Matt is now doubting the details of his Jackass Burr story

Jimmy and Oliver were on The Room Where it’s Happening podcast in January 2017

Treyvon Free is the name!!!!!

10 – Oscar talk.

Jimmy insists he has never heard the phrase “scattered to the winds” even though it’s in Hamilton

Charlie is now into Hamilton, and dressed as such for Hero Day in school

Apparently Jimmy only thinks of sports when he thinks of heroes

Eliot is looking up baseball stadia but now I’ve totally forgotten why

Oh, because Jimmy played a venue in Chicago in 1990 and did interviews with media while media was waiting for ball players

Eliot names a lot of short baseball players, and somehow manages to mispronounce every name, at least according to Jimmy’s pronunciations

20 – Harry Chappas was considered the shortest player at 5’3″ and played for the White Sox

Being short may not be a big handicap in baseball

Jimmy has a fake argument about a fictional fan taking imagined offense at his joke about mistreating a dog

Matt gets a text that Charlie “fell off something” but is ok
