Wow. I just watched the episode from this week. The show was tight and spot on in every 30 second stretch. One of the best I've seen on his show. The last five minutes was just the icing on the whole cake. On Mon., Nov. 11, 2019, 6:27 a.m. Steve Timko, wrote: > Funny follow up. Broadway

Adam - it's not just you. Having done a semester in London when I was in college, I remember (being baffled by) the handovers to LWT (from, I want to say, Carlton) - trying to understand just what the smeg was going on sent me down a research rabbit hole instead of, you know, doing the reading
