The Pitch

Kris and Kole talk about live music, historical reenactment, and the best way out.

ALSO: Wait for the Oh Boy. Okkervil River Concert. Ducks have taken a dark turn. Stuck in ATM, send help. Colonial Williamsburg is in trouble. Fidget spinner porn. Moon hut. Euthanasia Coaster.

An unreleased non-classic keeps rolling on the river while we revisit the topic of Buffo, the strong clown we admire.

We go to bat for an oft-maligned slimy genius of the sea.
