Episode 264 - Live at Now Hear This Festival with Wild Horses

[JulyDiaz 2797]

The Wild Horses (Lauren Lapkus, Mary Holland and Erin Whitehead) join Matt Besser for a live episode at the Now Hear This Podcast Festival in Anaheim, CA. Their scenes will include only having experiencing kissing the TV, what happens when everyone can hear your internal monologue, and reusing the Hunger Games’ Katniss cleavage for future Halloween costumes. Plus, everyone figures out whether they fall into the millennial or Gen X category.
