AARON BURR: How does a podcast, web thing,\\xa0
\\nRecap and chat on\\xa0The West Wing,\\xa0
\\nDropped on the internet by nostalgic pals
\\nOn a fake President\\u2014it makes no sense!
\\nHow do Josh and Hrish, on balance,
\\nManage to land two major Broadway talents?
\\nThe two gallants, Lin-Manuel and Tommy Kail,
\\nGot a lot farther by working a lot harder
\\nBy being a lot smarter, by being self-starters
\\nBy watching Bartlet, who\'s based a bit on Jimmy Carter
\\nWell, the word got around that they\\u2019re like, "Sorkin is insane, man"
\\nSo we sent a lot of emails till we got into their brainpan:
\\n"Do a special episode, lend us some acclaim and
\\nLet\'s talk about the napkin in the frame."
\\nRoll the name, son:
\\nWest Wing Weekly Hamilton\\xa0
\\nThis thing is West Wing Weekly Hamilton
\\nThere\'s a million things these guys have won\\xa0
\\nSo just hit play, just hit play\\u2026
