In this episode, I'm joined by comedian and latest winner of Funniest in Austin, Annie Teicher. She shares how she deals with nerves, why she lies about her job to strangers, what it was like going pro and working for the Golf Channel, what it means to be good at golf and why so many people gravitate towards it, the modern pressure to have “hot takes”, the wild fandom of Kill Tony, why she’s not woo woo, the wholesomeness of the DMs she receives, if Jennifer Lawrence being on IG is a red flag, dealing with people who repeat corny jokes, why she won’t do dating apps, and much more.
