Kyle and Luke: Talk about Toons

In November of 2022, Luke Ski recorded some segments for a new podcast he had intended to start called "Stalling For Time", which to this date never actually progressed beyond this one recording session. That session just happened to be with TV's Kyle, so in lieu of talking about toons, you'll hear Kyle talk about his (then) recent trip to Florida to attend a wedding and visit a restaurant owned by Hulk Hogan, and Luke talk about (and play an excerpt from) an interminably long open mic night where he performed a 7-minute stand-up set for the first time in decades.
