Laugh along to some of the best moments captured from Season 1. Episodes are available on YouTube Podcasts.

We lost our co-host, Gatsby The Artist, because he has blown up as a podcast producer, and all future episodes will be hosted by just myself, Adam Jay. But don't be sad, Gatsby is still around and don't be surprised to see him as a guest on future episodes!
