How Were U Brainwashed?

"Cooler Cousins Who Would Come to Town" (w/ Sam Taggart)

Season 1, Ep. 27

Jenny & Nicole welcome comedian, actor, writer, co-host of the podcast Straightiolab, and damn GEM OF A HUMAN Sam Taggart to the pod!


They get into how being an actor/comedian/perfomer ultimately means you also have to be hot and dress well, if dermatologists are hotter than musicians, and how your older cousins peer pressure you into being indie.
