#96 Speaking of Existentialism with Gus Constantellis
Gus Constantellis shares the downsides of playing his mom, church gigs that want him to keep his homosexuality under wraps (while he's playing his mom), your Greek dad telling you at six-years-old that there's nothing when you die, your Greek mom breaking down about the beloved village goat she was forced to eat as a child, Greek representation in Full House, and immigrant jokes falling flat with all white audiences. I also confront Gus on beating me in a stand-up comedy competition five years ago.
