The Hard Way with Brett Michelle

It"s a show for fans looking for a positive alternative to the typical IWC negativity and aggression. With her sidekick I. Blade Daily (of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out! podcast) in tow, "Hard Way" is part talk show, part comedy cast, and part panel discussion with a revolving cast of guests.Follow
