EP 15 Jay Hunter: Give It Up For The Troops

The two chat about being real onstage; Julie retells one of Craig’s earliest jokes; Jay recounts shooting hoops with some of the funniest characters from the “hood”; and we even learn some comedy history.

EP 14 Martha: Top 10 Most & Least Bangable Characters from Animated Kids' Movies
Julie tells Martha of a new "achievement unlocked" in the field of upsetting a comedy-goer at a recent show; and the girls rank the bangability (and un-bangability) of animated kids' movie characters. Any gender (and species!) is fair game. [Disclaimer that these are simply Julie's and Martha's preferences, and disagreement from you the listener is welcome!!] I apologize for using the word "fuckable" and variations thereof so many times. NSFW!
