Ariel Elias joins to share the downsides of having a beer thrown at you onstage but deciding to finish the set nonetheless because your merch is based on your closing bit and it feels like the audience is gonna buy a lot more given the circumstances, going viral, driving Gianmarco to comedy clubs, and how it feels like the only time the press gets excited about elevating a woman in comedy is when something awful happens to them.

NOTE: We did a little bit *too* much complaining in the original version of this episode so this is a slightly edited rerelease of last Tuesday’s interview. If you heard the original NO YOU DIDN’T. Konnie Metaxa (star of the short lived Greek version of Modern Family) joins the podcast to tell Gianmarco that nobody liked him in college and the downsides of your doctors giving you more boob than requested, drinking so much espresso that the barista alerts your friends, getting your stomach pumped, and whether going to school for acting is worth it.

Josh Flitter (Ace Ventura Jr.) shares the downsides of starring in Ace Ventura Jr. when he was 13, being told it was going to be a major movie release only to have it go straight to DVD, the most horrifying animatronic panda of all time, what Jim Carrey told him when he found out about the film, and getting dragged online for ruining the Ace Ventura legacy. Gianmarco also reads out his girlfriend's astoundingly good surprise birthday present comedy set.  You can watch full video of this episode HERE!

TRIGGER WARNING: abuse, suicide, death, murder, gore. Today’s episode is about working at a morgue. It’s pretty intense. Ian “The Button Pusher” Fidance filled in as co-host, which is good, because if Russell had been he would have thrown up all over the floor. If this isn’t your bag, all good, but please at least send it to your screwed up friend who loves this stuff.   Former mortician Lauryn Petrie joins to discuss conducting autopsies while listening to Cardi B, the horrors of morgue hazing, freezing bodies until the family can afford a funeral, covid testing corpses, the ethics of stealing from the dead, and why your rescue cat might have a taste for human flesh.
