#15 A Schizophrenic Love Story with Atsuko Okatsuka

Atsuko Okatsuka (Let's Go Atsuko!) visits from LA to share the downsides of thinking your grandma is taking you on vacation as a kid from Japan to California only to find out you were actually moving there, schizophrenic moms, being a "nice comedian", and vacationing in the dessert. Gianmarco also tries a new bit with Russell that bombs spectacularly and he spirals about it for the rest of the episode. Dedicated to the memory of Russell's dog, Hennessy.
