I just want to apologize for this episode. I have no idea how it happened, but Matt and I had a lot of fun recording it. It was supposed to be a Talent Showcase, but the only thing showcased is our sheer ineptitude. Enjoy.

This week, Ashley Birnbaum is helping us diving into an area of performance I've never truly been introduced to: Drag! Wanna know what drag is? Wanna know how you can get involved? Wanna know how to support it? These questions and more are answered in the next thirty minutes.
