H.A.G.S. and Keep In Touch! It's summer break for The Love and Comedy Podcast, so we spared no expense with our final guest of our freshman year, Gavin from Sacramento's top morning radio show, The Wake Up Call! We know what you're thinking: "Drew and Aurora, Gavin isn't a comedian, he can't be on the podcast" WRONG. Gavin did stand-up comedy for about a month, so it counts! Also, Season 2 is going to feature people from all walks of life with a unique perspective to share, so why not smooth out the transition a little bit with a comedian turned improv-ian(?) turned radio host. On this episode we discuss parenthood, marriages with one traditional job and one non-traditional job, and ask some rapid-fire questions to learn more about Gavin and force him to make the hardest choice he's ever made in his life! Stayed tuned for Season 2 coming in August and follow us on social media @TheLoveAndComedyPodcast for Season 2 updates and behind-the-scenes footage. And as always, follow your hosts @DrewShaferComedy and @AuroraSinghComedy to see all their summer adventures! Music by Joystock - https://www.joystock.org

What do Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Stagecoach all have in common? They're NOT the festivals we discuss on this episode! Join us as we interview festival VET, Morgan Gallo, who has appeared in festivals all across the country and knows a thing or two because she's seen a thing or two. This episode is all about the most divisive comedy gathering, the comedy festival. Before we dive into Morgan's experiences, we learn about dating comedy-adjacent partners (who happen to have met at a comedy festival) and finding the right guy at the right time. We then venture in to find out what makes festivals so great and why comedians should do them and discover Cleveland might be hiding something underneath all the hate it receives. Then we play a quick round of "Pocketed Punchlines" that showcases Florida's finest thinkers!
