Comedian Sara Weinshenk is joined by the one and only Josh Potter for a chaotic, nostalgia-filled episode of SHENK. Sara kicks things off with a story about being "seen" by a lesbian at a gas station, while Josh brings his best presidential impressions—from a peanut-farming Jimmy Carter to a "hack" Donald Trump.
The duo dives into "Sara's Facts," uncovering the dark origins of The Velveteen Rabbit and the true story of the Greer Theater. Plus, a core memory unlocked: the biohazard nightmare of fuzzy, holiday-themed toilet seat covers from the 90s.
