Comedian and friend Claire Siemietkowski joins the pod to talk about getting introduced to standup as an adult, not fitting in with comedy or theater nerds, and her past life as an athlete.

Apologies to the listener for any audio issues on this one. I did my best to fix it but I'm only human. One day, I'll have a robot producer and there will be no more audio issues.
