I'm so mad, I have been yelling "what!?" through out the whole story, maybe I'm even more mad that the story ended and only Mike could make the ending be ok. However I'm still hoping good karma comes back tenfold for him after almost losing his damn mind. After someone hit my car while taking my child going to school, I have to drive by that intersection everyday and yes I'm happy we made it, more so my kiddo came out unhurt, but I still diagnose that intersection everyday and believe that person wasn't ony stupid but also had to be drunk and got away with it.I also wished I flipped him off infront of my daughter lol I wantt hat memory instead of wiping glass from her hair.

I went to school in Palm Beach county and they used to send in cops to do this to us…that is why the kids from that county need love and support from the cops not to be made to feel like criminals ty for this 561 needs to show what we have been dealing with

Relevant in 2024 on a broad scale

This is so brilliant, I can't stand it. Let's finally get rid of Twitler in 2024

They need to rewrite this for the current election

I love the husband, glaringly just glaring.

This song is so catchy oml

I LOVE ANTHONY.

Here in the weeks leading up to another historic election with possibly monumental consequences and I unfortunately can't help but think that this is more relevant than ever. We cannot go backwards. (Also, what a GD beautiful song this still is)

lin looks so proud every time he looks at anthony

ANTHONY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of my fav musicals but it’s slowly becoming irrelevant :((

ira glass dreamscare warning (dream not jumpscare because i love ira glass, i was just not prepared to see his face for the first time ever)

Im A PreTty GrEaT GuY

There was a world where Hillary won in 2016. Or Bernie. Or anybody but who actually did. I... miss a world that never existed, listening to this song.

AND I SERANENed HeR😂

@chappellroan needs to hear this story 😅

That was so enjoyable to listen to. You definitely are a young man with "the gift of gab." Jenny is a lucky young lady and I wish you both to have a good life. Stay safe and I wish you good health.❤

Can this song be re-recorded in a woman's voice?

2:15 is so frickin catchy. Im so mad

No ! No. No No! $12000? Come on This is America everything is about money. That’s how the system works. Right or wrong drunk or sober. It’s the almighty dollar. I don’t make the rules

Tig is my favorite comedian!

16:58 John?!?

She did him dirty... tho he was in love she was looking for crime..

I saved this episode of "This American Life" when it first ran, and still flash back to it periodically. This song is the capstone, and gets me every time. How can we possibly be in this place again?! VOTE BLUE, everyone. Kick that guy to the curb once and for all. My gosh - he's like Freddie Krueger!!

Is Lin cosplaying as Ira

Everybody do yourselves a favor and watch/listen to the full episode of this podcast! So many amazing moments!

After twenty hilarious minutes of listening to the podcast, I paused to see if this was on video. WORTH IT. So glad this is available to the public!

nobody talking abt the calves on the guy in the green shirt, theyre perfection

7 years later and I’m sharing this on FB because it’s still so wildly applicable.

A joke gone too far.

Is there a karaoke version of this

Very unfortunate that they didn’t wear gloves (which is protocol when playing handbells, as the oils from human skin can corrode the finish on the bell)

the ensemble really ties it together tbh

the ensemble really ties it together tbh

the guy introducings pronounciation has me dying

never recovering from this one

So... With Biden (having been Obama's VP) dropping out of the race... Any chance we'll get a sequel? "Dream casting" would be Lin Manuel writing and Brian Darcy singing...

ACAB

I have such a crush on Ira Glass. And now Tig. They both seem like lovely individuals.🥰

2024 and I still think of this all the time. So relevant.

Lin maural Miranda musicals must have 1 love 2funny 3 something happeneds to Anthony Ramos

Looking at this in 2024 as this is stuck in my head. The harmonies tickle my brain, I LOVE this

Q

So glad this popped up. SHARING AGAIN!

I'm so glad I'm not the only who remembers Taylor Dayne.

Eight years later and I still feel the same chills and, and fear for our future.

wow a beautiful and profound note

My first time seeing Tig. Glad this came up on my you tube.

That’s cool that Taylor comes into it! Very cool song too!
