Summary

Comedian Carmen Lynch stops in for a hilarious conversation with Bridget about women in comedy, their writing processes, Millennials acting like they're old, how Gen X always gets skipped, how much comedy had changed, and what disasters they both are. They discuss living among the normies, why comedy is the antidote to being butthurt, how people need to be reminded of joy, being a late bloomer, why you're never really ready for the things you want to do, waiting for the industry gatekeepers, the next steps for their books, why they always want more no matter what level of success they achieve, and how they're all comparing themselves to Rogan. Check out Carmen's new comedy special Queef Week. Sponsor Links: Shopify - https://bit.ly/shopify-wiw Dumb Gay Podcast - https://bit.ly/WiW-DumbGayPod PlutoTV - https://bit.ly/WiWPlutoTV
