75. Maths!

About this episode

Josh and Jesse celebrate their birthdays with improvised scenes and a mathematical Battle Royale.

Welcome welcome welcome to the Big Big Town! It's Josh and Jesse's birthdays (when this was recorded)!!! The two discuss how they celebrated! This leads to improvised SMALL SCENES about an eccentric father's last wish, an overcrowded party, and the time that the X-Men met Jean-Luc Picard! THEN, in an absolutely mathematical BIG SCENE, a rogue educator subjects his students to a Battle Royale of math problems as a result of motivations that are not entirely clear!!!
