Show Notes
After the 100th Episode Party gets scuttled by public health concerns and the stay-at-home order, the Troubled Men pivot to a series of 3-way calls to catch up with previous guests. In the first installment, Squirrel Nut Zippers founder Jimbo Mathus, composer/guitarist Jonathan Freilich, bassist/saloon owner Dave Clements, master drummer Johnny Vidacovich, and Tony Award-winning actor/musician Michael Cerveris check in from their safe houses to report on life since the podcast and where they’re at now. In the wake of the worldwide pandemic, they engage in some gallows humor and try to laugh to keep from crying.
Topics include essential businesses, conspiracy theories, a health tip, tours interrupted, the social contract, rats, quitters, an unanswered call to Dave Slut, a prediction, mild symptoms, movies, a COVID test, the Clempire, an open tab, a bad joke, partying weight, nicknames, a job offer, campaign strategy, the Louisiana governor, a drink offer, messages of hope and faith, a long lockdown, a session with Irma Thomas, Germania Hall, a Jon Cleary session, HBO’s “The Plot Against America,” managing expectations, a new record, a backwoods locale, neighbors, the census, early exposure, David Simon, AA, and much more.
