Making people laugh is something you learn or it’s natural. At least, we think it’s natural for this week’s podcast guests: Cordell (IG: @keepingit101___) and Randell (IG: @blunightmare). There were plenty of jokes on how to be funny, growing up “country poor” in Bolivar, TN, black men not getting the grace in most situations, and more.
