    Bud brings on a very special, anonymous guest who has a cold, and thinks they sound sexy but they just sound like Donald Trump; "what's dummer than talking about fractals? . . .talking about theatre."

    Vincent lucks out a second time with a very good play. Plenty of spoilers. And just so you know, there was a very long tangent about what it's like having an early middle aged penis and how it pertains to frequently, accidentally, peeing on the seat- which I edited out, because, gross.

  10. Episode 005- "Late Bloomers Improv Troupe" @ North Park Vaudeville and Candy Shoppe w/ Bud & Jourdan

  13. Episode 001- "Nine" @ Lamplighter Community Theatre feat. Jourdan Lopez!

    Eleven beautiful women, two little boys, one washed up film director. We saw "Nine" at Lamplighter Community Theatre in La Mesa, CA. We sat about three feet from the stage and almost lost our minds. It was bad. . .it was so. . .uh. . .GUIDOOOOOOOO!

    The fact that you don't want to see live theatre is the very reason why you should. Listen each episode as we reluctantly go to the theatre, then get drunk and talk about our experience.
