Hi Bbs, as you may know we are well into the third week of January. The horror. If you, like us, feel horrified - listen to this pod. We will snap you out of it using our verbal NAVY SEAL tactics. You'll come away from this episode saying, "what are they talking about?" or "I love that one but I can't stand the other one" or "why do these women act like this?" or "someone get these shrews some adderrall" and, definitely, "was that a slur?" We talk improv group politics, we share a gag of the week, we read a write-in gag, we engage chatgpt's voice feature, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. If you didn't read that last bit like the King from "The King and I," you will explode in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - ....phew, good job. You saved yourself by listening to the pod! Hooray!!!
