Summary

Paul F. Tompkins welcomes the audience back to Spontaneanation, recorded in front of a LIVE audience at the world-famous Largo at The Coronet! This week, Pauls special guest is SNL alum Horatio Sanz! They chat about what Horatio's "Sliding Doors" career would be, Horatio listening to The Beatles in the dark with his best friend, and finding his older brother's disturbing newspaper clippings. Paul is then joined by his Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ co-stars Ryan Gaul, Mandell Maughan, and Drew Tarver to improvise a story set at a Train Station. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
