Lewitt Mic Challenge - Feat. Spitting Ibex - MAIN

This episode is also our first on-camera video episode, which you can watch on our YouTube: @ThereItIs! 
Jason and (Fiancée of the Show) Justina talk a little comedy shop! They chat about the last round of negotiations in the WGA strike (right before they negotiated a tentative deal), the potential impact of the upcoming arrival of Second City to New York City as well as UCB reopening, and about some controversies in the comedy world like the Tonight Show, Russell Brand, and Hasan Minhaj exposés. We primarily discuss the idea of "emotional truths" in comedy.
