In this episode you're gonna hear:

• How musical theater made its way to New York City
• Debates on if the bigger sibling must be the older one
• The creation of a new character archetype: the Bluetooth lady

Follow along as we fly high with this dog-fighting World War I epic where main characters Jack and David go from life without bros, to hoes before bros, to bros before hoes, back to hoes before bros, to enemies, before bros and hoes are able to coexist peacefully.  Wings is full of action, romance, and humor - but does it stand the test of time as the first ever winner?
