First-year comedians Delaney Miller and Chandler Smith join us for in the studio to discuss writing jokes together, for one another and themselves, experimenting with how the same joke works coming from one versus the other, Delaney's first booked show, Chandler's experience at The Review and much, much more.

John returns for his first video episode. We discuss his multi-city showcase Ghost Roast, his weekly open mic at Artmosphere in Lafayette, LA, his upcoming spring tour and his new dog, Ruby Doo. Oh, and there's a tiny discussion toward the end where we discuss the concept of punching down.
