Interview with Greg's High School Prom Date, Grand Duchess of the Opera Kirsten Scott
Do you have what it takes to marry an opera singer? Does anyone ever want to actually see a Zoom performance of anyone? What made Greg cry besides learning he was too heteronormative while recording this episode? High school best friend, the Beauty to his 8th Grade Beast (yes, they did that musical together) and award-winning opera singer Kirsten Scott joins Greg for a conversation that mixes the heights of notes in Puccini with the facial hair depths of Pavarotti.
