**Almost coincidence alert** Deborah almost went to the same college as Al but when visiting the campus got turned off when she saw other students wearing.shoes? Too fancy for our Deborah! Joel shares yet another memory about learning about love from Air Supply and that isn’t even the most embarrassing thing he admits in this episode. Season Two starts with the great Al Yankovic (weird ex-college DJ) sharing his love of Devo’s third studio album, Freedom of Choice. Subscribe, Listen, Enjoy Rate and Review! As Deborah says, “Meet your heroes!” These particular songs are Daft Punk’s “Nightvision” and “Bring it On Home To Me” by Sam Cooke. As Deborah says, “Don’t meet your heroes.” But we also discover Rachel wants so badly to start a Klezmer band and has a healthy respect for the impending earthquake apocalypse in Southern California. But, in this epilogue, Rachel looks back with insight, self awareness and perhaps an even stronger love for Sondheim. Great stuff happened but obsession did too, and she cake-walked her way to the inevitable and disappointing relationship’s end. She navigated some mental illness, bullying and a real real complicated, deep, angsty relationship that could only have started with a shared love of Sondheim. Peel back the curtain and you’ll see some darkness. Rachel then tells us how she went to an open-air school near the beach in SoCal where everything was sunny and surf-forward. The conversation starts with a couple of not great massage stories and moves to swooning over Sam Cooke. The ever so talented and brilliant Rachel Bloom joins Deborah and Joel to give a standing ovation to Stephen Sondheim’s Original Cast Recording of Assassins.
