Oh snap. The performance part is filmed at the Lawrence, Kansas dive bar The Bottleneck, where damn near every well-known band played at before they got super famous.

I’ll ride for Springfield Cashew Chicken all day. Only slightly Chinese, but all delicious. And you can’t get it anywhere but that tiny radius outside of Springfield MO. 

You gotta search for Air (French Band). I don’t have time for that!

Todd Phillips lives in a society.

Neil Young does a single note solo on “Cinnamon Girl” and it’s transcendent. This is awful. How does that even work?

I live in Kansas, so it’s Kobach, Pompeo, Brownback, and... more other names than I have time to type right now. Can I just tell you who doesn’t suck? Laura Kelly and Sharice Davids. That’s about it.
