The Darlings don’t even have time to catch up with each other because they’re too busy catching up with Missy & Jeremy Hall, two comic who live in Delaware but tour nationally.  We chat dad jokes vs. mom humor, whether it’s okay to joke about a man’s height and a woman’s age, M&J’s new podcast The Hall Way, and how hot the nursing home comedy scene is right now.

Bear with us on this field trip episode!  We went on location to the Tilton Mansion, home of the University & Whist Club.  First we’re joined by Danielle Bouchat-Friedman to learn about the Dr. James Tilton & the mansion, as well as some upcoming events open to the public.  Then we head to the bar where we catch up with mixologist Brian Burnett.  We even have a few members join us as the live audience and chime in on Brian’s skills! (Note that Brian was actually tending bar while we recorded, so you get all kinds of background bar noise!)
