Summary

(Recorded May 2021) This week Mike welcomes Quinta Brunson, the comedian, actor, and writer who blew up from her “He Got Money” memes and viral videos. She has since pivoted into mainstream success as the creator of the hit show "Abbott Elementary," as one of the stars of HBO’s “Black Lady Sketch Show” along with roles in “Big Mouth” and as the author of the book “She Memes Well.” The two discuss the loss of their mutual friend Kevin, the concept of “friend contracts,” and why we fling cats because we love cats.
