About this Episode
Aaron Read is a triple threat: improviser, musician, and visual artist. No wonder he was a couple minutes late to the show. When the man with buns of steel showed up, we talked about kissing Ryan Beil, his obsession with beaded curtains, top phone mime techniques, noise music, burnt pubes in Finland, and we end it with the big closer: racism and misogyny. This episode brought to you by Duffin's Donuts.

Norm Macdonald was just the greatest guest... and the greatest guy.

Some of it is especially hard to listen to now that he's gone. Recorded in 2012.
