A show in the academic sense. Where to start? Jay is absent, James forgot his laptop and attempts multiple devices for recording/Skype, all of which fail miserably. But when it comes down to it, Josh’s internet connection is the true culprit. At least that’s what I’m sticking with. Our music is extra low-key because of our sadness concerning our technical woes.

Jay’s intro is stolen from another show in his absence. Josh and James are talking about a fantasy baseball draft. We never mentioned that. Context, people. Who needs it?

Josh hates NCAA basketball and all it stands for. He also has weird hangups about tiny technology. Why do evil masterminds need large rooms with lots of blinking lights anyway? Isn’t an inconspicuous iPad all the better for evil-doing?

Josh invents a word: Jiggabytes. Some presidential trivia: Taft was both a baseball fan AND large enough to require a custom bathtub. A quick ending. Like a band-aid. Just rip it off.

Songs: Beirut, Elephant Gun; Balmorhea, Bowsprit; Clogs, Last Song
