I have talked, on and off, about performing stand-up comedy since I was 20. For whatever reason (my theory is I’m both unmotivated and a gigantic pussy), I never did so until recently. Yes, I, Pete Maybe and Othman Bouchareb, your favorite podcast hosts, signed up for the DC Improv’s […]
In the wake of a presidential election that left both sides feeling drained and shocked, it can be difficult making sense of what happened. Feelings to sort out. New realities to adjust to. Futures to brace for. Presented with as little partisanship as possible is the latest episode of Papa’s […]
The only thing that makes this episode an “election day special” is that I was too goddamn busy to post it until election day. We actually bitch about the unofficial hipster man Halloween costume (you get a point if you can name it before you listen to the episode) and […]
