Herein you shall find some woefully inept metaphors, as well as numerous apologies for the Orioles recent run of familiar insufferable terribleness, for which myself and Alan take full responsibility.
BALTIMORONS #11: Baltimonster?!?!!!?
This week:
DINGMANTICS #13: Cohibas & Rainbow Trout
After a brief detour into Taxiland, we’re back this week with our goal of making a show based on the week’s Moth story-slam theme. This week’s theme is “human resources,” so here is a clip from a live show I did called Sam Dingman’s Reasonable Doubt, in which you’ll meet some of my more illustrious co-workers from my past life as a bellhop/valet/part-time restaurant host.
BALTIMORONS #10: Hurricane Hamilton
The Big Man Upstairs seems to have smote Baltimore via Josh Hamilton’s bat this week, and Alan and I are deeply concerned that this augurs the end of our happy little run of competence in the season’s early-going. Also, MIGUEL GAT DANG TEJADA…AGAIN?!
DINGMANTICS #12: The Taxi Tapes, Episode 12-Pac-Man
Is that a complicated enough title? I think I could probably make it a little more convoluted if I tried, but I SHALL REFRAIN, out of respect for YOU, dear listener.
Today’s show is a new installment of The Taxi Tapes, in which my passenger is a fellow cab driver with a dim view of the United States Government.
BALTIMORONS #9: Forged in the Flames of Heartbreak (w/ Erick Hellwig)
Alan and I chat with real live Kansas City Royals fan (and improviser extraordinaire) Erick Hellwig. Also, Alan goes on a blistering rant about socialized sports ownership.
DINGMANTICS #11: Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria
Continuing with Operation Write Something Based On The Moth’s Weekly Theme (OWSBOTMWT), here’s a piece inspired by the “silver lining” theme. It’s about the circumstances that set the stage for the worst summer of my life, and the one thing—which was actually a person—who got me through it.
BALTIMORONS #8: Paging Dr. Zorgon
We’re joined by Met fan and fantasy baseball expert Nick Markovich, who shares in the particular insanity of rooting tirelessly for a hopeless outcome. There is also much agreement that while no one should laugh about Michael Pineda being out for the season, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s hilarious.
DINGMANTICS #10: A Dream of Conquest
Dingmantics is back, with a leaner, meaner sound! I’m continuing with my goal of writing something based on the Moth’s weekly theme. This week it’s “Armor,” so here is a piece about the daily mental gymnastics required for a successful commute.
