Tree Sanchez is back after our month long hiatus! We sat down to discuss the death of her ex and fellow comedian Jim. Our format is a little different in this one, we recorded face to face and because of that I was a little nervous. The episode turned out great and it was lovely to have her Tree back. Enjoy!
