NEW COMEDIAN ALERT! No, but seriously! It’s been a minute since we’ve had a “new guy” come in! It’s strange, man! But please check out our interview with Matt McCusker. He was a great guest, and thanks again to FunnyBone and Krista for taking the time to drive him by!

 

Thanks to Brenda for her time today! If you were thinking about checking out her last LIVE Drag Bingo at Tactical Brewing, then you’re going to want to get there early. I promise you that it’s going to be a packed house. I think me and Andrea will be down there, and it should be a good ol’ time. Thanks to all of you who caught the show LIVE on Twitch and YouTube, and if you have the time, throw us a like or a subscribe, hit the alert, or whatever. All the things. Have a fantastic weekend, and we’ll see you on Monday! - d
