"While 2020 has brought on a world pandemic and a national outcry for justice, sometimes we have to laugh to keep from crying," host Dana Michelle says during the opening of the show.  On this episode, she welcomes two friends and comedians, Ron Baker, Jr. and Marz Timms, to discuss the importance of laughter, jokes, and comedy and how it all can bring people together, even in hard times. "Comedians are always funny.  I don't care what the situation is, we can always find humor and funny," says Baker.  "Now it's not going to be funny to everybody.  I don't care if it's death or destruction, part of our coping mechanism is humor." "We immediately look for the joke because you want to get your joke out there before everybody else does," says Timms.  "I was doing jokes about face masks over in Thailand before everybody here started wearing face masks.  I was like, 'Man, when I get back to the states, I'm going to throw a Nike logo on face masks.  Everybody's going to be wearing them."
