This week, we’re joined by two Reno comedians, Nathan Holland and Will Brisson, for a wild ride through stand-up stories, gold tooth decisions, and hot takes on World Events.

We talk about what it means to be funny, how they each found their way into comedy, and what “success” in comedy actually looks like. Then the boys get a wild hair and start yappin about politics. Think Drunk History but more haha. While the world sets itself into chaos we thought now would be the perfect time to talk about it all and get perspective from the lens of two comics who aren’t afraid to speak their minds.

If you're offended, drop your offense in the comments below ;)
