The Final Edition

This week, we’re heading into summer - with theater, heavy drinking, music festivals and the unintended consequences of a happy ending. Also, at a certain point in a recent recording session, we ran out of things to do and started reading out of our notebooks. Seriously.

All new sketches. And just to prove we’re fresh and up-to-date, we talk about Uber and Game of Thrones and abortion and Billy Joel and Montessori schools and ancient China.

We’re back with 12 more sketches by 12 more writers. Some of these sketches go back a few years because some of the writers do. You’ll know which ones when you hear them.

We’re looking back on sketches from our 300 episodes and pulling out no more than one sketch per writer.

This is our 300th episode. So we're matching it up with the movie “300,” which was about … war, I guess? I didn’t see it. But anyway, all the sketches this week have something to do with war and the military. This includes one of the many, many Ken Burns Civil War parodies we’ve done over the years. It’s probably not the one we did literally just last week. But I promise nothing.

This week, we have a lot of mythical things - a yeti, a genie, dungeons, dragons, an employed college English teacher. Simon, from “Simon says” - who’s a real person, by the way.

This week, we’ve got measles. Well, not us personally, but a lot of people. We also get heavily into the kind of things you encounter when you don’t have a lot of money. Cheap businesses. Cheap food. Weird financial arrangements. Big expensive movies that still seem like cheap movies. And the cheapest kind of entertainment of all, ASMR - which doesn’t require much more than, let’s say, wrapping paper. Or a Bob Ross video.

Plus … we have condiments.

This week, it’s pop culture and pop music and weird brain stuff. And speaking of all those things, it happened to be 4/20 this last weekend. So we talk to a member of our own cast who happens to work with — and report on — cannabis. You’ll never guess which cast member it is.

You’ve already guessed.

It’s Sam.

On this week’s show, we have … a show. Which we didn’t last week. Because my computer was broken. So we have two man-on-the streets because, over the last two weeks, apparently two things happened.

We’ve got sketches about money and the next Woodstock concert … but I repeat myself. And outer space. And baseball. And of course, when you think about baseball, you think about sex - to make the baseball last longer. Anyway, sex is in the news. I assume. I mean, it always is, so …

The phrase “Florida Man” has trended more heavily than usual. So we hear from the man himself, then we talk to a Florida woman. Also, we watch the news debase itself. Even further. We try to decide whether things are good or terrible. Don’t get ahead of me. And we discuss whether academia is good or terrible. Again - wait for it. Also - lot of short bits throughout the show. No plan behind it. Just worked out that way.
