Get Stupid

Get Stupid with Dave Ross is Dave Ross's solo comedy podcast that he started in the pandemic with the intention of being a comedy podcast but that immediately became a mental health podcast. He never understood why. But now he understands why! After a two-year (three-year?) hiatus, the show is back. After 52 episodes recorded in a global pandemic, the show is back! This is episode 53, and this is also episode 1. He recorded it in his living room, in the powder blue diner booth his roommate Ryan Donahue bought and decorate with cartoons from 100 years ago.
