Summary
The boiz are investigating a quick history of They Might Be Giants which leads to a comparative analysis of Disco and Space travel and a fantastic musical cooked up by a friend in NYC! Tim has been ripping thirteen hour work days and bingeing Breaking Bad. We finally get two hundred big ones from Ellen in exchange for encouraging them to make mistakes while learning things and Hamish in Melbourne is out in the world, watching the live comedy shows of Worst Idea of All Time alumni and all is well with the world.
