Summary
Paul F. Tompkins continues cross-over month on Spontaneanation! This week, Pauls special guests/improvisers are Big Grande (Big Grandes Teachers Lounge) Dan Lippert, Jon Mackey, Ryan Rosenberg, and Drew Tarver. They chat about what food item they have consumed the most of in their lifetime, the difficulty Drew's mother has differentiating her son from her husband, and Jons most mortifying experience with Dan and Drew at a McDonalds drive-thru. Then they improvise a story set in A Small Town Post Office After Hours. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
