In this episode, Shannon welcomes the hilarious, talented, and vibrant Mary Ryan Brown to her Franklin studio! They chat about Mary Ryan's recent performance at Zanies and her comedic journey, from struggling with postpartum depression and utilizing comedy as an outlet to creating hilarious skits with millions of views. From being cheerleading rejects to being victimized in the family group chat, Shannon and Mary Ryan giggle about their initial bond over bloody (or beety) urine. Who is allergic to gel and avocados? What shoe size is Mary Ryan? What does Mary Macy Bouffant name Shannon’s baby? Tune in for all the silliness and southern debauchery.
