How Were U Brainwashed?

RE-RELEASE "Gay Jaundice Son" (w/ Guy Branum)

•

After a quick present-day catch-up with Jenny & Nicole where they get into The Comeback finale and if they should go to Bravofest in Charleston, we revisit the groundbreaking ep with the incredibly smart, funny, charming comedian, actor (Bros, Hacks, Platonic) & writer (The Other Two, The Mindy Project, Q-Force) Guy Branum!


They get into sad lights & testosterone increasing red lights (?), the liberation of taking off your shirt in a park, the amount of Family Guy references in Prince Harry's book, the undeniable brainwashing we receive around the fat body and it's worth, the act of performing shame on an airplane, the battle of fatphobic costume designer vs. fat actor, and which Sound of Music characters everyone is.
