Episode 146 - Humor

Autistic stand-up comedienne Holly Huff joins Ben this week to talk about her comedy club experiences, her future plans for utilizing her writing talents, and her thoughts on Batman movies. After an exchange of pleasantries and a discussion about Holly’s background and ambitions, they dig into the definition specifics and Ben’s favorite Google feature! Next, they take a brief detour through the subject of ice cream novelties before the video game shenanigans commence! Games discussed in this episode include Dispatch, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning, and Rocksteady Studios’ Batman and Batman-adjacent games.
