I

am planning to be there and taking friends. When is that? What is it? It's two shows. in new york on march 22nd 4 p.m at the village underground in uh in the west village it's that's part of the comedy seller organization of clubs and it's with uh jesse single of the blocked and reported podcast a very funny guy we did one of these in chicago is a lot of fun so we're doing new york on the 22nd and then washington dc march 23rd at the Improv, a place you and I used to hang out all the time. And that one's 7 p.m. DC Improv. Tickets there are dcimprov.com and thevillageunderground.com for the one in New York. Yeah,

and like I said, I'm going to be there on the 23rd. I've already got some friends coming. We've booked the table and I was going to copy.

I was going to copy. You went and bought tickets before I could copy it.

Yeah, you know, okay. Thank you. I believe you. Thank you. I still will copy. I had two or three friends go, hey, we might. I think they know you, but I know that they know Jesse Single from Blocked and Reported, and they wanted to go see Blocked and Reported. It's like, hey, we're going to go to this. Would you be interested? And I was like, fuck it, Jeff Maurer. And then I sent them a screenshot like what i just sent you i think i think i'd literally sent a screenshot to you that was like hey my friends are gonna be here um can you point to me in the audience and address me by name multiple times uh so i look cool also i told them you're a singer so if you could do some singing like something like that so like i was like yeah i know jeff i send him stupid bullshit like this all the time on my phone. And, and then we're like, yeah, let's get a, let's get a, let's get a table. I knew you were going to comp me, but I was like, this is going to get so complicated. I'd rather just, I would pay the $40. And also Jeff, you're worth it. I want to tell listeners you're worth the $40. You were at least $40 worth of funny on a Monday night. This is a good, a good thing to do.

We go way back, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to pay you the price of the ticket in pennies. So how's that? Perfect. We'll call it square. Perfect. All right. Thanks, Jeff. Thanks for having me. Take care.

This week on the bonus episode, we're going to try a new thing, a new format. In keeping with our low stakes theme of today, I have invited on a fellow political orphan to discuss low stakes conspiracy theories. We will dive into two minor conspiracy theories that he will proffer to me, one of which involves golf and nuclear war, and the other, how public pensions are sort of at the center of all economic activity. He'll explain that. It's a fun chat this week on the bonus episode, which you can find by going to thepoliticalorphanage.com. That's thepoliticalorphanage.com. That's the show. Thanks for listening. Thank you, Jeff Maurer, for coming on to discuss irritation in government. Thank you, patrons who make the show possible. Until next time, I've been Andrew Heaton, and so have you.
