It’s the Episode You've Been Missing. We know you’ve all been wondering how they feel about the third-rail issues, so after an in-depth catch-up on the eventful month of May and the entrance into Mercury’s retrograde, Bry & Dave get BACK TO BASIQUE(s). In an old-school, meat & potatoes conversation, they let loose on Israel/Palestine/Anti-Semitism, the True Wages Of Ally-Ship, and the Return Of Broadway: Burn It All Down? Somewhere in the mix, they throw in a new “Analytics Check” with some countries/protectorates you may recognize, Bry’s father’s heart attack adventure and an emergency 9 days in Kansas City in which Men Were Driving Bry Crazy, some TV recommendations, and a bittersweet accounting of American Idol. Also, as they approach the 1-year Anniversary of “The Swirl With Bry & Dave,” the Big Question: Should we do a year 2? (REPLY IN THE COMMENTS!). Then go to @sandiegosymphony.org #BroadwayByTheBay for Bryonha’s [astonishing—DG] 52-minute one-woman concert of music theatre classics. And check out our previous episode, BONUS PROUD HUSBAND PROMO ALERT: “BRY BY THE BAY” for excerpts and loving commentary. In the meantime, please RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE, and SUPPORT!

Well, now Dave’s gone and done it. A quick and dirty secret solo episode of bootleg snippets fresh from his iPhone of his wife Bryonha Marie’s solo concert dropping tonight, “BROADWAY BY THE BAY,” with the great Rob Fisher and members of the San Diego Symphony to open their venue, The Shell. This concert will stream until the end of June, and you will not want to miss it. Here’s the list of songs, some of which you’ll get a taste of from that epic night last March in 40-degree Pacific Ocean winds:

EVERYTHING’S COMING US ROSES

BROADWAY BABY

SUMMERTIME

CAN’T HELP LOVIN’ THAT MAN

ADELAIDE’S LAMENT

TILL THERE WAS YOU

AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME

ONE HUNDRED EASY WAYS

COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS

All performed by the incomparable, impossibly versatile, legendary Broadway Beast, Bryonha Marie.

Sometimes you choose the topic, and sometimes the topic chooses you. For this one, we needed someone who could speak about death with wisdom and experience, strength and hope, but above all… be hilarious. So went to the woman who wrote the book. Alexandra Silber’s “White Hot Grief Parade” (Pegasus Books), is all that and a week of Broadway shows. Join us as this brilliant Broadway diva, memoirist and novelist (“After Anatevka,” also Pegasus Books) breaks down the raw truths and profound glories of love, loss and Fiddler on the Roof in an indelible episode of The Swirl. Also, be sure to stick around for the new game, “You Say You Love ‘Ragtime?’ I’ll Give You Ragtime!’” and see if you score higher than ‘Ragtime’s’ #1 fan. PS, don’t call her Alex. You can call her Al.
