Episode 0.1 - Gals Before Pals (w. Jenny Yang, Zahra Noorbakhsh, and Johan Miranda)
Jonny & Brer aren’t ready to leave their new comedian friends. And so the conversation marches on, clumsily tiptoeing deeper into the minefields of PC culture and further down memory lane. Through relentless probing of Jonny and Brer’s distant past, Johan, Jenny and Zahra uncover the customs and rituals of a previously unknown band of nerds who once roamed Denver in the late 1900s.
