Oh my gosh, hi. It's me Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular culture is the most important kind of culture because it is often the one that bums us out the least, but not always.

Now, back in the before times, Troubled Waters would pit two teams of comedians against each other in a pop culture battle royale.

But now, teaming with another person who is not in your quarantine pod is still possibly

lethal, still definitely more frowned upon than, let's say, trying to unseat Joyce Carol Oates

as the main character of Twitter.

So for now, it's one comic against another.

And to win this battle, each comic will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical skills, the good comebacks they've been saving in their notes app to win the coveted troubled waters titled Pundit Emeritus, which will automatically give their opinion on which of the web space telescope photos are the sluttiest, more weight than

a civilian's. Oh, the stakes are high. You're listening to troubled waters. Let's meet our players.

Our first contestant is the host of the boss bitch podcast with friend of the show Rachel Green.

It's Kirsten O'Brien.

Hello.

in New York City. We have a live show the second Thursday of every month. And we're a femme

forward. No boss behavior. Yeah, we're a femme forward, LGBTQIA plus bi-Poc focused show. And Rachel and I have been doing the live show for over a

year now. And it's been great. And we also realized that our audience never gets to see us together

because we rotate hosting and headlining and then we have our stand-up guests in between.

So we wanted our audience to experience that because we have fun witty banter.
