Stand-up comedians Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein go do weird stuff, and then talk about how weird that stuff was on their weekly Stiff Socks podcast. With their irrelevant charm, they will tackle tough issues such as, what it’s like “going to a museum on Adderall” or “if you don’t cum for a week, will you die?”
In this week’s episode titled Fingered By the Moon, the boys are joined by the legend Nick Swardson to riff on embarrassing yourself in front of Snoop Dogg, why the Blockbuster CEO still has beef with Nick, and how the blue ladies in Avatar could get that work. They also hear the story about Nick’s first Comedy Central special and help a listener with a Christmas present for her boyfriend.
