Hey everybody, I’m back with my best friend Ashna, and we kick things off with a funny bit about how I’ve been confidently using the word "conversate" for years—only to find out it’s not even a real word. 

I just had an incredible week performing at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at the MGM. It felt like old times, hanging out with comedians between sets, watching each other perform every night, and laughing our heads off during the day. There’s something about those moments offstage that makes the comedy world feel like a family again.

We also get into one of my favorite topics: thrift store treasures. We reminisce about some killer finds over the years, and Ashna expresses her appreciation for my trusty blender that’s still going strong after 30 years. We talk about how much cooler it feels to own something with history.

It’s a fun, laid-back episode where we cover everything from comedy and quality vintage gear to the small pleasures in life.

So kick back, relax, and join us for some laughs and good conversation. Enjoy the show!

 

Hooray for humanity!

We're dropping new episodes every Thursday-ish.
