Warm-Up:
Each time we record, we watch a video or find a picture to get us in the mood for the episode. It doesn’t always have anything to do with the episode, but frames our minds, so we’re going to share so you can be appropriately framed as well.
We’ve been watching a lot of Saturday Night Live clips…
Dudes playing chicks/ Playing something you ain’t:
- Don’t be a douche
- Be Sensitive
- Just be the character
- Don’t have it be the only interesting aspect of the character
