This week, Shannon is sitting down with comedian and podcaster Tina Dybal to yap about everything inside their brains (strap in). From her Russian roots to winning the 2018 St. Louis' Funniest Person Contest, Tina shares her journey moving to America and following her passion for stand-up. The pair talk about how they met, and bond over their scabies diagnoses and Sabrina Carpenter confetti. They chat about breastfeeding, bodily fluids, the Bible, and how Tina found her now tour mates and best friends, Libby Higgins and Chelcie Lynn.
