Braised Bits

Braised Bits•anchor.fm

Jesse Eigner and Lance Pauker are two comedy chefs in New York City. On stage, they constantly cook up piping hot bits that might burn your mouth if you're not careful. But in your earbuds, the bits are braised, slow cooked to precision and carefully considered. Braised Bits is an hour of observational humor, good humor ice cream bars, and even some Humor Esiason mixed in. We're talking food, we're talking sports, we're talking awkward situations and the never-ending tide of technological determinism. We're even talking about practice. Come for the fun, stay for the umami.
