William Glucroft joins us from Berlin to and reads from one of his many teenage political op-eds in the Fairfield Minuteman.

Undeterred by a spate of cancelations, Robert and Dave discuss the book So Good They Can't Ignore You, directing a web series, the awkwardness of trying to promote your work on Facebook, the word "jazzy," Robert's new play, Civilization 4, Dave's skewed version of American history in the 1990s, and the Kafkaesque nature of working for Social Security.

Chicago stand-up comedian, Buddy Heeley, joins Robert and Dave in the studio to discuss stand up, the Chicago comedy scene, the floor plan for his apartment, and doing gigs in small-town Best Westerns. Then we read his first sketch, which was bad.

In episode 2, we upgrade the sound and read bad poetry. Plus, airport goons in sweater vests, arguing with softball umpires, and we discover that we were both victims of poetry.com's underhanded business practices.

The pilot episode, featuring "Essay 2" by Dave and "Guys Poker Night" from Robert. Plus discussion of Ireland, Scotland, and Berlin.
