Summary

Dear Humans,

Today on the podcast we’re joined by comedian Vir Das, who joined us on the day his latest Netflix special Vir Das: Fool Volume was released!

It was appropriate that he joined us on release day for his special, because he wanted to send a few prayers to us to get him through his launch weekend.
