Pen Pals With Daniel & Rory

Dear Pennies & Pallers, This week, we are joined by the brilliant and hilarious Annie Weisman (creator of “Physical”). In our first letter, a Pen Pal is shushed for cussing in front of her cousin’s children and wants to know if she was really in the wrong. In our second letter, a 13 year old Pen Pal reaches out and explains his complicated feelings about growing up in the Hasidic Jewish community. We also discuss: our upcoming live show at the High Plains Comedy Festival, Eric Stoltz, how to pronounce “shush”, life in Fairfax, and more.

Dear Pennies & Pallers, This week’s first letter kicks off a conversation about obscure sex terms - you might want to consult Urban Dictionary.

In our second letter, a Pen Pal asks how we respond to the all-too-familiar feeling of being let down by our heroes. We also discuss: terrible ASMR, having a #RRGT, thieves, Tiger Woods, and many, many sex terms.
