What’s Poppin’ Con-gregation? This week, we welcome comedians Josh Brekhus, Kimia Behpoornia, James Mannion, and Mary Anthony. Along with Laci, they’re a part of the UCB improv group LEROY. They discuss David Saffron, a part-time BDSM club owner and crypto Ponzi schemer. Plus, we explore how one of Twitter’s most quickly-growing viral left-wing voices has turned out to perhaps be a total fake. Stay Schemin’!
