Back for another episode! I'm joined by comedian Alli Breen for back-from-hiatus episode #2. We talk about therapy and if it's worth it, being chronically late, mushrooms, overthinking things we've said, ignoring people in elevators and so much more.
Well, well, well, look who it is. It's your ol' pal Kristen. It's only been MORE THAN 3 1/2 years since the last time I posted an episode. The last time I taped we were a month into COVID, still had our minds, my mom was still alive and my heart hadn't been eaten alive by a relationship. I hope the last 3 1/2 years haven't turned you into a completely different person too, but if it has, I hope it was for the be...

Follow Mike on Instagram @MikeCarano and Kristen @Kriscarn. Thank you for listening and sharing...
