## Resource

The Intellectuals are back! Guido Grasso and George Assily get into a chaotic deep dive into the vault of "Totally Tasteless Jokes" from the 1980s. From the heights of 80s bestseller lists to the absolute bottom of offensive humor, we’re reading the jokes that would get everyone canceled today. We also talk about Adam’s mysterious "date," George’s wild stories from the Ottawa comedy scene, and Guido's' run-ins with sketchy talent agents. Plus, we debate the best (and worst) of Montreal, why sugar shack season is the best time of year, and why you should never trust a clown. We asked for the greatest minds of our time to start a podcast. They refused. So we settled for the complete opposite. ..
