Given the events of the past week, we are releasing Episode 3 before episode 2.  In this episode we welcome our first ever guest; Heath Harmison!  He walks us through why it's important to build a relationship of trust with your crowd and how this improves the audience's response to your stand-up.  Steve compares this to what he does during a criminal case. 

The team also processes the news of the passing of Charlie Kirk by way of political assassination.  They review their initial responses as well as the publics response and call out why it is so important for everyone to unite as a country in these turbulent and unprecedented times.
