(ft comedians David Bluvband & John Trowbridge) Full disclosure: I was in Mexico last week on a well deserved vacation and I went on a jet ski and it was dope.
But that also means I didn't have time to do an ep this week, which means you are so lucky to get to hear one of my favorites once again. Enjoy!
