Tired of being the "monkey" of Ruth Stage and aware that podcast editor Mike Villastrigo is the driving force behind the jokes, Mr. F'n John stays silent no more. After discovering that Mike is not a good speller, John challenges him to a Toe Tag Spelling Bee to prove he is not the dumbest member of the group. Joe goes through his Big Daddy wish list for the production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and the raffle is fast approaching. Someone will win over $40,000 on June 26th!

Matt talks about the importance of getting the press to his shows when he first started self producing. Drama Desk critic Darryl Reilly drops in and the TheaterScene.net veteran reminisces about his career in New York City as a member of the media as well as that time he was thrown out of an acting class by Austin Pendleton. John breaks in from Hawaii for another "Toe Tag" tale and Spencer broadcasts the entire episode from the bathroom.

On this episode, Ruth Stage graphic designer Lou Gutowski joins After Dark to talk about his graphic design company, Brand Mark NJ, as well as his position as the Brand Manager at Bubbakoos Burritos. A member of Ruth Stage since 2009, Lou and Matt talk about their friendship and how they met working the concession stand at a Little League baseball tournament back in 1996. The friendship blossomed soon thereafter and led to the formation of a backyard wrestling league in the late 90's called The Lou World Order. Ironically, it helped lay the groundwork for their careers today.
