Hey everybody, it's me, Helen Hong.

And it's me, too, Jay Keith Van Stratton.

Normally we release a new episode on the first and third Friday of each month, but we're shaking things up in March because that's the month of...

And we'll be dropping new full episodes featuring MaxFun hosts as our guests on Monday,

March 20th and Monday, March 27th.

Now, for those of you who have been to our live audience shows, first, thank you.

But you will know that we kick things off with Helen doing a few minutes of stand-up to warm up
