Comedian Mike Recine ruthlessly rips into the c*m towel merch I sell after shows and tells me I’ll earn his artistic respect after I burn them all in a fire (dm me if you want to buy one). We also talk about the homemade tomato sauce he used to sell after shows, growing up in New Jersey, having an autistic little brother who’s not so little anymore, the time he helped me move and I killed the U-Haul battery, cooking for your significant other, having your significant other and mother conspire to secretly sell your smoker, how much our semen is worth, and the unbearableness of theater kids when you have a real man’s job.
