Q: Andy, when are you most Josh-like?
I think you are more reserved compared to me, while I tend to express my grouchiness more openly.

Q: Josh, what is your most Andy-ish trait?
It's probably the task paralysis when it comes to paperwork.
Test Show #425
Q: Do you recall how the free speech riffing on the Todd Glass podcast came about?
It was based on the claims of early MAGA people about free speech and the selective way they employed it on stage.
Test Show #424
Q: Can you figure out anything from the goings on so far about the Supreme Court hearing?
It seems likely they can probably strike down the tariffs, but they can't do it this way, which is the argument.

Q: Andy, how was your transition from wanting to make it in music to pursuing comedy?
