#116.5 Late Night Bois
Gianmarco and Russell made their late night debuts in the same week, but did Gianmarco win because he taped it first or did Russell win because his aired first? We really get into the weeds of this important question!

#113 Rabbi Hopping with Tovah Silbermann
Tovah Silbermann (Girlfriend) shares the downsides of sharing a meal with Gianmarco, having night terrors, washing kitchenware in the ocean, testing for Tay-Sachs, and we debate what a man’s responsibility is if he falls off a roof into a woman while fully erect. We also dive a little too deep into the Yeshiva Boys Choir and the Miami Boys Choir and why if Gianmarco and her go to one of their concerts he has to wear a yarmulke.
