What do you get to eat when a sandwich shop runs out of the bread it puts its sandwiches on? Click here for the answer!
What do you get to eat when you show up at a sandwich shop that’s run out of bread halfway through its hours of service? Click here for the answer!

Having spent my entire life living right outside (and working within) DC, I start the episode by paying tribute to “Mayor for Life” Marion Barry, who passed over the weekend, and talk about what it’s like when your first memories of a political nature are of your mayor getting arrested for smoking crack in a hotel with his mistress.

The rest of the episode is me fighting the good fight, or at least rallying against SUNdeVICH, a sub shop in DC that ran out of bread and shuttered their doors more than four hours before their listed closing time, then had the gall to give me crap about me calling them out for it on Twitter. I will never do much to help another human being in any meaningful way in this world. I’ve accepted that. But, so help me God, if I can keep even one hungry person from showing up at a sandwich shop that finds it acceptable to routinely run out of bread hours before its scheduled closing time, I’ll have accomplished something in this world.

    During an interview (with Howard Stern? Marc Maron?–can’t recall), the comedian Paul Rodriguez told a story about walking in on Marion Barry on the set of “DC Cab.” Rodriguez said he walked in on Barry by mistake and found Barry with a pile of cocaine. To be fair, though, he said he didn’t actually see him snort it.
