EP. 433 — Government Pizza

Comedian extraordinaire Aparna Nancherla joins Scott on this week’s Comedy Bang! Bang! to talk about the last letter she wrote, how would she revise the government if she could change any law, and some of the topics she covers on her new stand-up album “Just Putting Out There.” Then, amateur sports critic Ming arrives to tell us about his favorite sports and songs from The Cranberries. Finally, financial advisor Doug Gropes hastily advises Scott on how to prepare for his retirement.
