Summary

Paul F. Tompkins welcomes everyone as he finishes up some yard work to Spontaneanation! This week, Pauls special guest and SOLE improvisor is Spontaneanations good friend Marc Evan Jackson! They chat about who was Marcs best friend as a child and what they would do together, recognizing his old building while watching Batman v Superman, and getting disappointed in the car. They then improvise a story set at A Gas Station Only Stopped at During Road Trips. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
