About this episode
#198Like and follow to help feed a hungry comedian today. This week, funny people & squishy connoisseurs Kd Hinken and Nathan Parish take a look at the 1962 Tanganikya Laughter Epidemic that saw a region of Africa (big enough for 14 school closures) taken over by not just endless fits of laughter, but a host of other mental tortures that are still unexplained to this day or at least agreed upon.) What happened to the victims? Where did it start? & what was so goddamn funny? They answer all of this and more while trying to throw the squishiest of logic at it to figure out the answers. Plus they chat about everything going on in the world right now as per usual. Stop being butt munchers, come get squishy with us.
