Ever found yourself laughing at the absurdity of a Nerf gun showdown with the local police or empathizing with the chaos of a retail store remodel? That's exactly where our latest episode kicks off, as Scott and Jim recount the small, often hilarious moments that make up our daily lives. Buckle up for a blend of personal tales, from my extended birthday festivities to Jimmy's egg-too-many story and join them as, they tip our hats to the "Pink is in" crew for their third comedy nomination.
Dreams don't have a price tag they unpack the fantasies we'd chase with unlimited resources. Imagine a world where language barriers don't exist, and comedy clubs are as common as corner coffee shops—that's the world we talk about creating. Our game of personal trivia might reveal just how many languages I aspire to conquer, or the ways we envision strengthening the fabric of our community. It's all about the shared journey of growth and the power of a good laugh.
Nostalgia hits different when you're chatting about the golden age of TV and musing over your first celebrity crush—hello, Drew Barrymore! We stroll down memory lane, exploring the names we carry and the stars we idolize. Meanwhile, wrestling enthusiasts, prepare for the rundown on the upcoming event featuring the incomparable Matt "Mad Dog" Harvey. It's a night filled with thrills, affordable snacks, and the chance to catch Scott and me in the midst of the action. We're sealing this episode with a Groucho Marx gem, a nod to the classics, and the promise of more enthralling episodes to come. Join us, won't you?Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.
