Summary

This week on the new TUESDAY TEASER!!!! We hear a little about Susan's Dance Recital - and I make my pledge never to make a live show longer than 2 hours. Plus farmer's market sunday - with a little midlife mortality check thrown in. We hear about the horrors of childhood dance numbers, why Dopey events will never be too long again, a $4 energy bar that took out Dave’s tooth, sampling guilt at the farmer’s market, and a philosophical detour into Life of Pi and midlife dental decay. Plus: updates on upcoming Patreon episodes, a nod to Dopey Zoom, the official Dopey holiday calendar, and a final hit of classic Grand Street nostalgia — chain-smoking reds and watching Life of Pi on heroin.
