Summary
After finally catching a live performance of Hamilton the Musical this week, Alicia's mind returned to the wild life story of Hamilton antagonist Aaron Burr. Things didn't stop for him after the infamous duel, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's play doesn't even get into Burr's secret family, unacknowledged children, or his much later marriage to - and divorce from - one of the richest women in America. And if the tale is true, there may have been a bit of poetic justice on the part of the Hamilton family there at the end.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to trashy divorces, everybody's favorite good podcast about bad relationships. |
| 0:07.3 | My name is Stacey, and this week it is to the revolution, the trashy revolution. |
| 0:13.4 | I suppose, Alicia, what is even happening in your brain? |
| 0:16.4 | Oh, friends, Alicia here, and it is a tale of marital misadventure this week by the time we get to the end of the story. |
| 0:25.8 | But before that, a little backstory. |
| 0:28.2 | And after 21 seasons, I really do like when inspiration happens in ways I do not anticipate. |
| 0:35.2 | This week, Stacey, you and I were lucky enough to see Hamilton the |
| 0:38.9 | musical here in Atlanta. Finally. We've wanted to, probably since 2016. We saw it, the touring |
| 0:46.3 | company at the fabulous Fox Theater, and what a night. Absolutely. Thank you, best auntie of mine, |
| 0:52.9 | for that generous and most delightful birthday |
| 0:55.1 | gift. We had an amazing time and it was a thrill to see Hamilton staged. We've loved it for a |
| 1:02.1 | long time. It was excellent. Great night, but it did make me think about perhaps a twist for you |
| 1:07.5 | this week with the trashy divorce of Aaron Burr. |
| 1:11.8 | Sir. |
| 1:12.9 | I covered this story ages ago over on the trashy divorces Patreon back in October 2019. |
| 1:21.0 | If you're a Patreon supporter, we love you, but if you're thinking I've already heard this, |
| 1:25.5 | no, you haven't. |
| 1:26.2 | It's a brand new recording. |
| 1:28.3 | I'm not even going to re-air that archived episode in its original form because, wow, there were so |
| 1:34.6 | many pets. The language is a little saltier than y'all are typically used to in a main feed episode. |
