My Birthday Effed-Up Friday Episode with Karen Attiah & Nicole Walters—This Friday, July 24Th!
The Daily Whatever Show is on a bit of a Summer Vacation, so we’re on Fridays-only for the season. We’ve got an entire summer of Fucked-up Friday episodes booked.
It’s my birthday week!
My birthday is Saturday, and I’m calling it—I’m getting the most amazing birthday gift a day early, because I have the incredible Karen Attiah and Nicole Walters joining me on for Fucked-up Friday on The Daily Whatever Show.
I’m over the moon!!
When Lawrence Winnerman told me he’d be out of town this week, I was a bit bummed, but determined to make the most of it. I’ll miss him terribly but also—this show is going to be incredible!
Mark your calendars, and see you there. 🗓️
