Popcorn Pals | The Birdcage w/ Lissa Rubin

I’ve been living in my own HGTDVK Show this week and multiple home repairs haven taken place. And when I’m not sneezing, I tell you all about it. I also have your messages from The Midnight Mailbag, and the Holi-Days like “Make Your Bed” day. Then it’s a couple of jokes from the Jokesmith’s Jubilee and I close it out with the News From Germania!
 
Thank you to Aaron Brungardt for engineering, mixing, and production expertise, Geoffrey Tice for artwork, Bobby TBD for theme music, and All Things Comedy for their support, production, and distribution.
