Today we are joined by Julia Morales; actor, director, writer, coach, and all-around good person. She founded her own theater, Stepping Stone Theater, that you should support in any way you can. The group talks with Julia about her experiences in the comedy world, the whiteness and racism of musical improv, unweaving #AllLivesMatter, and getting cancelled twice.

Disclaimer: there were some audio hiccups in this recording, but we decided to release it anyways. You'll hear some echoes whenever we all get to having a good time, but that's just twice the joy for you!

Welcome back to the Area Code neighborhood: Feel For the Game.

Nick and Noah return with a series of (mainly basketball) conversations about nostalgic moments in NBA history, current issues plaguing the league, how coping and mental health play a role in sports, and more.

Tune-in as they unprofessionally, but sincerely explore why sports are bigger than just the score of the game. Subscribe now, and follow along to find out how many times Noah makes an unwarranted Kansas Jayhawks basketball reference.

If you like singing misfits, prankster desk buddies, or complex friendships, this episode is for you. This week, we're discussing some of our favorite shows that didn't end up standing the test of time—and whether or not we can still enjoy something problematic.

Just a heads up—in this episode, we talk about a few things that may be difficult between 25:10-27:00 and 37:45-38:45. Feel free to skip ahead to 40:30. We love you!
