Steve and His Wife Sara Get Personal

It's Seattle live! Having Steve's real-live spouse in the episode proved enlightening. Sara confessed that his funny-on-stage is not the same as his funny-in-person and added that couples who have a great marriage are amused by each other. She writes the blog MeRedone.com, and had a tip for online daters: Forget the dinner, meet with a foreseeable end. This was certainly a different side of Steve than seen in previous podcasts. Though there were no Danny Freak-Outs this week, encounters by Sara ...

Ramy Youssef and the Rules of Space

See Ramy Run from New York to LA, though not on billboards. He also loves Hugh Jackman at his angriest, is afraid of wrestling, and avoids a certain cousin because of one of the above. Danny's Freak Out involved a lesson in audio stalking, he also has a solid feeling a certain idyllic state does not like tourists. To aspiring comedians, Steve recommends performing for the people who enjoy it rather than for the people who don't, avoid those selling what they don't practice, and when people watch...
