Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, Broken Lizard) joins Steph to talk about his new stand-up special Brown Supremacist, directing over 200 episodes of TV including Arrested Development and New Girl, and why the only way into the movies is to write yourself into them. Steph finally watches Super Troopers 25 years late and has questions about the very real penis in it, Jay reveals Arrested Development was only about 4% improvised, and he tells the story of getting a steak stuck in his throat on a date, throwing up next to two models, going back to finish the steak — and how that led to getting his throat scraped every five years. Plus: Steph's fiancé answers the door in a towel, Jay thinks Steph is a gay man, an audience member exposes the ABCs technique, Jay's lung-doctor dad tells patients to keep smoking, 100 straight days of golf, Botox regrets, and Steph's beef with K.D. Lang's follower count. SPONSORS:
