503 - The Potato (w/ Rachel Dratch)

Eden Sher & Brock Ciarlelli
About this episode

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but… we have the one... the only... Rachel Dratch (SNL, Wine Country, 30 Rock) on the pod today!! After we Middle some Minutes, we dive into the episode where Eden’s dealing with some serious PTSD from her poster board monologue, and Kenny maybe - just maybe - was meant to show his face a whole lot earlier than expected. Then comes our fantastic convo with Rachel, where she shares how she tackles different roles, the balancing act between serving the project and bringing her signature Dratch flair, and some wonderful insight into her long-time friendships with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. And don't sleep on Rachel’s own podcast, Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch, dropping every Wednesday!
