Our deepest chat yet, good friend of the show, Justin Randall joins us to talk about his recent stint in rehab and how he landed there.  It’s a very personal and raw discussion about mental health and how friends play an important role in all aspects of staying healthy.  On a lighter note, Greg finds out about “gay Twitter” and has a flashback to his history of panic attacks.

The train has pulled into the station. The one and only Jasmin St Claire comes in to hang with Greg and Chase. Noticeably missing is Jon B who is making his way through Asia on “vacation”.   Most people know Jasmin from her time in the adult industry back in the 1990’s when she shot to fame as "America's Most Controversial Sex Symbol.”  But this wild ride has been a professional wrestler, music jo...

What a treat we had this week with Matthew’s Mother Ann joins us to give us all the inside scoop on her son, and what she really thinks about his career as a stand-up comedian, and not a scholar!  We can easily tell where the comic gene comes from and Ann doesn’t hold back!  This is an epic time talking about growing up in an uber educated household, what shaped Matthew’s comedic tone, and what it is going to ta...

Back for more, Chase is back and the boys press him on his licorice and Coke theory.  Is Chase here for good? We know he is the best host in NYC and the ring leader for our live shows, but can he hang long term with the constant talk about food and bad movies?  Time will tell.   This week we get deep into what the best #2’s are. Sequels. Sequels! Not sure there was a decisive w...
