EP. 78 — Donut Factory: Live from Largo

Paul F. Tompkins welcomes the mighty and the humble back to Spontaneanation, recorded in front of a LIVE audience at the world-famous Largo at The Coronet! This week, Paul’s special guest is Desmin Borges of FXX’s You’re the Worst! They chat about Desmin’s childhood heroes, what the movie Purple Rain is truly about, and Desmin’s days of hustling in Chicago. Paul is then joined by his Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ co-stars Dan Ahdoot, Tim Baltz, and Tawny Newsome to improvise a story set in a Donut Factory. And as always, Eban (only the best) Schletter scores it all on piano!
