In the penultimate episode of 88.9 The Bridge's longest-running comedy show, The Rutabaga talk about our work ethic (keeping the show on the air twice a week for as long as we have means someone's putting in the hours), Nick and Jackson's documentaries, recording adlibs and unpromoted SoundCloud releases, deadlines, unenforced dating rules, Bigfoot, a free barbecue, and a chain of hitmen so long it resulted in the whole thing coming apart.

Lots of things here are stupid, like Fenway's takes on The Beatles and geography and many other things he shouldn't be commenting on. Some stuff here is smart or intended for other reactions to be had. Some of this is borderline offensive. Some is dumb. Some is topical, some isn't. A bit for everyone in this Rutabaga episode
