Schmactors

12 - Galaxies, Groupies, and the $30 Sandwich


Listen Later

In this episode of Schmactors, James Marsters and Mark Devine catch up on travel tales, revisit brushes with fame, and plunge headfirst into the black hole of existential curiosity.

From James’ sticker-shock in Australia (turns out the $30 sandwich isn’t quite what it seems) to Mark’s brush with Sex and the City fame (and the ensuing emotional breakdown in a bodega), the guys get real about the soul-poisoning effects of celebrity.

They tackle a fan question from Uruguay—yes, Uruguay!—about how fame messes with your head. James cites a Tom Hanks survival strategy, and Mark tells a story that ends with a possibly scarred fan and a six-pack.

Then it’s time for stargazing—literally. James nerds out about spiral galaxies, dark matter, and the unknowable mysteries of the universe, while Mark confuses UAPs with UPS. (No packages were delivered during the taping of this episode.)

Got a burning question? Hit up ⁠schmactors.com⁠ — leave a voicemail or text, and maybe you’ll hear it on the show. And if you laughed (or at least snorted), do us a favor and share Schmactors with a friend. It’s cheaper than therapy.
