Hey, y'all, it's me, McWeldon. I'm here to tell you about something I made with a smart design, premium fabrics, and a simple shopping experience. Mac Weldon underwear is definitely better than whatever you're currently wearing. Now, you'll pardon my boasting, but this is true. In addition to looking and feeling great, all Mac Weldon products are crafted with natural fibers that that have built in performance capabilities, so they work hard too, like I'm working

hard for you.

My underwear does the same.

I even have a line of silver underwear and shirts that are naturally antimicrobial, which

means they eliminate odor.

And as you know, or do not know, I'm here to tell you right now, I am anti-microbial. I cannot buy the microbe. All this, and it's shipped right to your door. If you don't like your first pair, you can keep it, and I'll still refund you. No questions asked. That's your business and none of mine.

in between. Then I have some improviser friends come on and we do a set of narrative improv,

which is instead of little scenes that are unconnected, it's one story

with no break. We just go through and we play various characters and various voices and there's

some sound effects. And my friend Eben Schletter scores the whole thing live on piano. He's there

in the studio with us. It all starts with me doing a stream of consciousness monologue.

Everything is entirely made up on the spot. That's the name Spontaneation comes from the fact that it's a, it's a spontaneous show.

So there you have it. I'm very excited to have Ira Glass on the show. Unsurprisingly, a guy who is a great interviewer is also a great
