Harry Hope and the Hypnic Jerk(s)

We're back with the last Superfluous episode of 2019! We went to our normal haunt, Little Woodrows, and did not do so hot this time, but at least we got an episode title that would make for a great '50s pop cover band name. Dan talks for a bit about the play The Iceman Cometh, as well as the terrible movie The Snowman. Sam talks about the hypnic jerk, a sleep phenomenon that actually happens pretty often. We also open a box of goodies that we received from Geeks Who Drink, and we close out with a brief recap of the infamous Peloton ad. Thanks for listening and sharing throughout 2019, and be on the lookout for new episodes in 2020!

Dan talks briefly about Fleabag, and Sam plugs season 2 of The Kominsky Method and our new favorite restaurant in the Heights, Neo Baguette! Look for episode 17 most likely in December.
