.When Max Michael Clendaniel said to me: 

“Hey Dude, I have a guest lined up for us this week. She’s f*cking hilarious!”…I said “Awesome!!, I can’t wait”.

And then I thought:

“I wonder what story she will tell?”

Then Julie Ann Grady Thomas popped up on our Zoom call, and started speaking. It became very clear straight away that Max was correct; she is f*cking hilarious. But she also brought something else to the show which I didn’t quite prepare myself for.

Honesty. Complete, eye-opening, scary, unnerving, extremely uncomfortable honesty. 

You might be thinking “Well, it’s not as if the previous episodes have been particularly light on the old honesty quota”, and I would agree. But…well you just need to listen to the episode to understand what I mean here. This is the kind of honesty that would make a Victorian Duke faint.

In this episode, we discuss parents. We love them, and they love us…right? So why do they feel the need to embarrass us to a level that makes us want to crawl inside our anuses and live there for a week? Well…unless your name is Ivan Samuel Berry, then you have no story to tell because evidently his parents love him too much for this to happen…must be nice. 

And then, we move onto Julie’s main story…….which I call simply…”U”.

Julie is an extremely talented standup comedian, sketch-comedy artist, and podcast guest; you can catch her on the following:
