The boys are back with a new segment where they talk about comedy topics with professional comedians. This week's guest is the prolific Brent Terhune who talks about his writing process and gives advice on how to maximize output. It's a great one!
About Brent: Characters, voices, one liners, and time-tested monologues-comedian Brent Terhune is the embodiment of all these things and more. Not many comics can pull off Brent’s laid-back style of comedy and still remain just as absurd and funny, but equally relevant and relatable at the same time.
