Fergie discusses the hatred and violence the AAPI community is currently and has been facing for years. He also discusses Gun Control and the Derek Chauvin Trial before diving head first into one of his favorite episodes of the first season - Connie Stevens. Fergie rants about brilliance of Muppet Violence, the solid execution of the small bit/good bit and how Sam The Eagle saying Wayne and Wanda is perhaps the funniest thing to grace his ears. All of this and more on It’s Time To Meet The Muppets!Links:
