This week we talk about Doug's vaccine appointment adventures before getting into the meat of the show and discussing Game 7 of the 1952 World Series (available in its entirety on YouTube) and the 1987 film Fever Pitch, an adaptation of Nick Hornby's book of the same name, starring Colin Firth as an obsessed Arsenal fan, Bridgerton star Ruth Gemmell as his reluctant girlfriend and Mark Strong as Firth's equally Arsenal-infatuated buddy.&nbsp;
Plus, we have an announcement about the future of our little sanity-salvaging pandemic project.&nbsp;

S1E19 - Bryson talks...Birthdays!

In these challenging and stressful times, we're here to keep your blood pressure in its sweet spot (120 over 80 according to the American Heart Association) by talking about the things that put us in our happy place. Starting in February of 2021 that thing will be the Muppet Show (1976-1981) as Doug and I go episode by episode through one of the seminal shows in television history. With a list of guest stars that reflect almost every popular cultural trend in post-war America, the Muppet Show is a fascinating time capsule from an important, though often ignored, period in American history.
