🟡 This is a re-release of a past episode! Originally aired in 2023, we're bringing this one back as part of our reuploads following the deletion of our original DOD45 Spotify account in December 2024.
In this episode, Tai sits down with stand-up comedian, content creator, and Twitch streamer Lisa Wallen, whose anime chops are as sharp as her punchlines. From her childhood crush on Steve Martin to her thoughts on modern-day comedy, Lisa shares it all—plus her experiences doing stand-up in Japan, surviving strange audience reactions, and breaking down the dangers of parasocial relationships in streaming culture.

Set in 1980s New Zealand, Boy follows an 11-year-old's imaginative world as he grapples with the return of his absent, criminal father. It’s heartfelt, funny, and loaded with emotional truth.
