Sure, they’re only fictnally gay, but the other two adjectiv uldn’t be more on the than try to summarize the backstori of two guys I’ve never met prr to this terview, I asked Sarah to wre an tro for me, sharg a few timate tails about her iends and edy lleagu. Here’s what she me up wh:“I have known Steve Agee for a very long time and Brian Posehn for a very very long time. To say that marijuana had a hand any of the antics I had wh each of the large pkish-orange men is like sayg Nazis may have had a hand Anne Frank’s diary stoppg short. However, I knew them separately—Brian through stand-up and a group of ic iends that a way grew up together, and Steve who, after seeg him a iend’s play, we bond over prsn and anti-prsants which evably led to the greatt bond of all, Ntendo 64’s GolnEye, a game I learned to play at Mr. Show wh one Brian Posehn!

Please, s. Thank you though.—that they really met and beme fast iends. Brian shared wh Steve his love of metal. Steve shared his love of photography and, well, rtg.
