Love: Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins

Alex lets his Theatre Kid past come back to haunt all of you as he brings you a discussion of his favorite musical, Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins. Andy, also a fan, plays the perfect co-conspirator as they deep-dive this weird, surrealist exploration into the complicated stories and motivations of people who’ve tried to kill past US presidents, and they try not to get on any watch-lists.

Hate: YouTube Poop

AKA Elsagate AKA parents beware, the internet cannot be trusted. Andy informs/horrifies Alex of the traumatizing trend of YouTubers creating intentionally traumatic content and slipping it into spots for unsuspecting parents and children to discover amidst their wacky songs and cartoon characters. Fair warning, it’s gross.

Relationship: Doogie Howser

A listener writes in to ask for advice on how to make friends and meet cool people after escaping small town life for a new, hip, progressive locale. Andy recommends technological solutions, Alex keeps it analog, and both remind him that social anxiety is real, and that finding ways to mitigate is important.
