We never met Kevin Smith before this but we invited him on the podcast and he agreed to do it. The internet and email is an amazing polarizing invention. We have deep philosophical discussion about that United flight situation and Kevin’s situation with Southwest Airlines years ago. Of course we end up playing the theremin and I try to get Kevin to license a song of mine.

We talk with the old homie Lil Rel Howery on this episode.  If you’re not from Chicago you may feel really weird when we talk about different driving routes.   You actually may feel weird about it even if you’re from Chicago. On several occasions I talk about Lil Rel like he’s not sitting with us.  We discuss the effect of Get Out briefly but don’t delve too much into it because I’m a terrible interviewer.  Rel also gets briefly amazed by the theremin.   Fellow Chicagoan Brian Babylon sits in on this ep.

We recorded this episode live at the Laughing Skull Lounge on 4/20. It was the club’s anniversary and our guest Killer Mike’s birthday. We didn’t do much to celebrate either occasion. Comedian Al Jackson was also there.
