Ariel Kashanchi is a comedian, producer, and writer. She stops by the yard after Bill smokes a giant "Jeter" joint (OOOPS!) and they go down an interesting but dark path of childhood trauma, abuse, and repressed memory that may be shocking for some listeners. Ariel is very frank about the trials of her upbringing escaping from Iran on horseback as a baby to moving in with her assassin uncle in Kansas City until finding landing in Los Angeles. Despite her tribulations, Ariel has managed to turn her pain into authentic comedy and has found a way to give some inexplicably dark times meaning and purpose with her words and story. If you have ever been a victim of physical and/or sexual abuse, particularly familial abuse, this episode may be triggering, but also very powerful and edifying. I PROMISE there is also some yuk-yuks! ENJOY!
