This week on Free the Show, we hear from a couple of real grifters. Real connivers. Real confidence men. A couple of real schemers. Two real scammers. Real rip-off types. A couple of swindlers, cheats, imposters. We hear from two real double dealers, dodgers, opportunistic sharks. Two bilkers, a couple of real tricksters. These aforementioned guys also review a real immersive show called The Illuminati Ball that Will and Jimmy really saw. Listen to Episode 160

Will and Jimmy are throwing a party. Parties require all sorts of things. Food, drink, games, attractions, etc. Here is just shy of 49 minutes of two party-throwers going over their inventory in anticipation of the party-goers. Guess what things go bonkers and Bernie Sanders shows up. Listen to Episode 159

Will and Jimmy call their old buddy Ross Huston and catch up with him. The Jewel of Fort Wayne, Indiana discusses his upcoming vacation to New York City, work wives, top, medium, and bottom shelf rums. We make him review some recent episodes of the podcast that he listened to, and frankly, honestly, if we are being honest and frank, a grand old time is had by all. *Clerical note: a numbering error has been caught, and this is actually episode 158* Listen to Episode 158

Will and Jimmy are curious about the upcoming slate of shows for the ever-exciting fall tv season. Who better to ask about The Orville, Young Sheldon, and MacGyver, then clerks at tv stores and GameStops and Disneyland and such, whose job it is to know tv and stuff. We call a bunch of folks again.

Can you feel the love tonight? Assuming you’re listening to this at night? And that the podcast, in this case, is love itself? That’s right you can. Because, right here and right now, we present to you an everlasting tale of unforgettable magic, in which the composers of the soundtrack of Disney’s 1994 hit The Lion King, Elton John and Tim Rice, are visited by 3 ghosts, which they assume to be the ghosts of musics past, present, and future. With the guidance of these well-known musicals legends, hear how your favorite tunes come full circle (get it?). Listen to Episode 155

Look, it’s a grind putting out an original podcast every single week. We’ve prefaced episodes with this excuse before! This week, Will and Jimmy had very little gas in the tank, but they beat one out just for the die-hards out there. No, they do not play a version of 20 questions with twice the number of questions in this episode. They play just the normal version of 20 questions, but they had already done that pretty recently, so throw these questions on the pile of those questions and you have about 40 questions. Also, Jimmy reviews The Flea’s Inanimate in the intro. Listen to Episode 154

New York City just had a primary election! So listen in as Lester Lehman, host of WNYC’s public affairs program The Lester Lehman Show, interviews a candidate for the second seat on Brooklyn’s city council. They chat about the city and the election and the city. And they wait for someone, anyone, to call in. Please, call. Please. Listen to Episode 153

As always, Free the Show is on the BLEEDING EDGE of finding cool trends and having fun with friends. Today, we decided to dig into the world’s premiere treasure trove of cool trends, Livestrong.com, and get some of that good shit that Lance Armstrong doped on. It’s that miracle berry shit, you know, those berries that make everything taste sweet when you eat them, like lemons and poison and long bike rides. Eric Feurer joins us as we eat some of these berries and taste test all kinds of various foods and sauces, and DOES NOT do any characters or improv bullshit. Listen to Episode 152

Quick, name 10 high-end furniture retailers with brick-and-mortar showrooms in major US cities that compliment extensive catalog publishing! What, you could only think of, maybe, three, four? That’s pathetic. Well, one of them was West Elm. It’s Williams-Sonoma’s furniture brand. The chairs? They’re nice. The price tags? They’re on the chairs. The reps who you can call on the phone who work for them? They’re way more fun that other reps. Jimmy and Will want to buy some furniture. Hit it. Listen to Episode 151

You’ve heard of three men and a baby, but three men stranded together?? You’ve heard of Desert Island Discs, but Desert Island survival?? You’ve heard of the film Castaway, but being cast away?? This week on Free the Show, we are joined by Adrian Burke to present a very grounded improvisational exploration of these themes, tapping into the very psyche of humanity and exploring what it is to be alive on this earth, together and alone and alone and together.
