In this excerpt of our Patreon exclusive episode, Gianmarco and Russell take a big ol’ dump on comedians kissing the pope’s ass (and analyzing the op-ed on the matter by Simon Tierney: https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/comedians-meeting-the-pope-6408584-Jun2024/). Watch the rest of the episode exclusively on our Patreon to hear the boys' review of the Tony’s, why Cabaret currently on Broadway isn’t as edgy as it thinks it is, and get a glimpse into what we have cookin’ for the live podcast tour.
