Yenta!
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST! It's full of dirty, juicy secrets not meant for you or anyone else to hear. You don't want to hear comedians Raye Schiller and Antonia Lassar get the hot goss - aka yenta - with their comedian friends about sex, dating, comedy, and who their mother is trying to set them up with. We don't want you to hear our secrets so please don't listen. You should do something better with your time. I beg you. Don't rate this 5 stars. And don't share.
