Well, hello there. I am Dave Holmes and welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular

culture as the most important kind of culture because every other kind of culture fucking bums

us out. In this current form, Troubled Waters pits two comedians against one another in a pop

culture battle royale. Sometime we'll all be able to be in the same room again but right now we can't we're all on zoom we're scattered across the globe to

win this battle each comic will be called upon to use their smarts their rhetorical

skills the great comebacks they've been stockpiling in social distance to earn

the coveted troubled waters title pundundit Emeritus, that title automatically gives

a person's opinion on, let's say, when the sheer volume of newly announced Disney properties

will literally physically crush us all, more weight than a civilians. You are listening

to Troubled Waters. The Let's meet our comics. Our first contestant is a comedian who also writes music for the podcast

Electoral Dysfunction. It's Megan Sass. Maybe my favorite name I've ever heard in my entire life.

Thank you.

And it is my real name.

The next time I get business cards printed up, it will say, yes, that's my real name on them because I get asked a lot.

It's so good.

Thank you.

Here's my theory.

Oh, sorry.

No, no, no.

Cut down at Ellis Island.

Like, I'm very Jewish.

And so it was probably like Sassowitz-Sistinusburg, but it got just trimmed.
