Pretty/Dumb (Courtney Byrd and Ricci Armani)

SURPRISE! Once again, the dummies have experienced technical difficulties; what'd you expect?! Was it Mercury in Retrograde? Operator error? A lack of brain cells?? The world may never know. This week they discuss their relationships with food, growing up a lil chubby, and basically complain for forty minutes. Again, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!?! The food-related facts are pretty great this week. And they're both going on "tour" this weekend!

If they have time. Ricci is upset that his 45-minute douche session was all for nothing. And Courtney's crowd work needs a lot of improvement. But we all start somewhere, damn it!

This week on Pretty/Dumb Ricci has a slight mental break down over a cancelation, Courtney talks about working 5 comedy shows in 2 days, and other crazy that happened to them. 

This week Courtney talks about losing her grandpa, Ron Garvin, and the impact he had on her family. Grief is a weird thing, and she's not really sure if she's doing it right.
