Some fluky technical issues prevent Rob and Joe from doing a live show, and almost keep them from doing a show at all. Rob has a lot of problems flying to and from Nebraska. Rob’s travel dilemma got him back to DC too late to make the murder mystery on Sunday night, but that was the just the beginning (and the least) of the problems getting that show off the ground. A possible opportunity arises once again, and Joe asserts himself quickly, when a change at the radio station is announced. Joe has strong opinions about the new trailer for the Top Gun sequel and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
