Hey everybody, I’m back with my best friend Ashna, and we kick things off with a funny bit about how I’ve been confidently using the word "conversate" for years—only to find out it’s not even a real word.

It felt like old times, hanging out with comedians between sets, watching each other perform every night, and laughing our heads off during the day.

It's wild to think about how this might shake up American
