We also talked about her activisim and what angles she might take next year moving into politics at a local level. We bonded over a mutual childhood

We talked about things such as: how does a white person give a Pepeha? Her father's history of doing Mr Beast-like challenges and especially his latest one - Poppy's Comedy Club opened in his very own garage

Hot dog, he's a proper therapist and everything. We met very randomly as I saw a post he made on Reddit about offering cheap therapy, $60 every 2 weeks so just $30 a week.

We thought it might be fun to do some improv comedy live on the podcast and so independently came up with 5 characters to do small audio-only sketches as and then the other person would be "Yes, and"ing them in order to find the funny. Disclaimer - I'm not an improviser so your results may vary! I had a lot of fun riffing with Jarrod and we ended on some rapid fire questions to get to know him better. Hope you
