Dr. Waffle & Friends Ep.2.5: I Always Think There's a Band

In this episode, Deanna talks—a lot—about the The Music Man, and then she and Tania discuss musicals, con artistry, repressed sexuality, billiards vs. pool, Gilbert & Sullivan, Ikea furniture, and so much more.

Tags: Meredith Willson, The Music Man, Pirates of Penzance, Lithuania, South Park

Spoilers for The Music Man, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Deanna says she still can’t remember what drum solo her father recorded on his prize record, but there is some archival evidence that he performed “The Downfall of Paris” to great acclaim as a 14-year old.
