We are by no means huge Broadway people. But like the rest of the population, we're obsessed with "Hamilton." Aside from being something we blast on the regular (sorry not sorry, neighbors), "Hamilton" makes us wonder: is the popularity of the show inspiring a renewed interest in American history?

We'll go over what we stan, the pros and cons of both, and may drop in a hot take or two on weekend trips during the coronavirus pandemic and the appropriateness of going to Disney as an adult (in non-covid times). Hint: we think it's pretty great.
