Heard of the podcast from the hyenas and just never quite made it here until I met you at an open mic in rofo and you talked about the podcast and what it was about. It’s truly great man. I’ve been listening to it for a week now and every episode just solidifies the spot stand up has in my life and why I’m doing it.
