TV writer & podcaster Asterios Kokkinos talks Manswers, Nerdist, and a frivolous lawsuit brought on by a former creative collaborator & friend.

Update: 2018-06-18

Description

Asterios got his start working on MadTV as a researcher and things went up from there! Then a former creative collaborator and he had a falling out. That guy then sued Asterios for 20mm dollars. It's a crazy story of how things can go bad even among comedians. We also touch on the Hardwick story early in the episode.
