Just RUN THE FOOLS this week, and CREAMR and T-NASTY get into it. CREAMR has the realization that he's probably been dealing with undiagnosed depression for a couple years, and they spend most of the episode unpacking that.

OFF THE DOME joins forces with GENDER FLUIDS this week! CREAMR and T-NASTY are joined by Arielle Norman and Austin Smartt of the Gender Fluids podcast for a cross-over ep. We take them out of their comfort zone by getting them to freestyle rap, and they take us out of our comfort zone by talking about period sex and CBT (cock and ball torture). We also delve deep on gender identity and the n-word in music.

This week we're joined by improviser Chuy Zarate, who participated with both of us in this past weekend's 48-hour improv marathon at the Hideout Theatre to raise money to help provide theater classes for special needs kids and those who would not be able to afford it otherwise. (You can still contribute here: https://www.gofundme.com/2018improvmarathon ) We spend the majority of the time debriefing, but as always, we swing back and forth between crazy silly and super real.

What's up y'all, this is our last full-length episode...before T-NASTY and CREAMR are in a 48-hour improv marathon (don't worry, more will follow afterwards).

Fun show this week with special guest and local comic, Pat Dean aka "MC Cool Guy" aka "The Mayor of Austin Comedy" aka "Mr. Midnight".
