EP. 185.5 — Sklarbro County 90
Co-host of Comedy Film Nerds & the Iron Lady of showbiz, Graham Elwood joins the County boys to talk about the Sochi Olympics on this week’s Sklarbro County! Graham tells us all about skipping school when he was younger to go see games at Wrigley Field, being in the middle of a fire fight while he was overseas performing stand-up for the troops in Afghanistan, and the new project Ear Buds: The Podcasting Documentary he’s been working on. Daniel Van Kirk then brings us some crazy stories that include a Texas man who will do anything to get rid of 3,000 porn DVDs he doesn’t want, an sexual incident that occurred in the back of Pennsylvania bus, and two Iowa couples tie the knot at a Bacon Festival. Later, Steven Seagal speaks on his role involving the security of the Sochi Olympics.
