Subway Dicks, Comedy & Catholicism | Caitlin Peluffo

Matt Buechele has been catcalled twice by the same mysterious man on a Citi Bike and wonders what, exactly, you’re supposed to do when someone yells “great ass” directly into your ear. 

Then Matt sits down with comedian Caitlin Peluffo to talk about her experience on Netflix’s Funny AF with Kevin Hart, including the challenge of roasting Marshawn Lynch and making it to the finale. They discuss Caitlin’s unconventional path from performance art to stand-up, what it’s like watching her career take off, therapy, growing up Catholic, dating, and the dangers of spending too much time on your phone. Plus, Matt and Caitlin make predictions about subway dicks, meeting the Pope, and the next big dating-app gimmick.
