Mark and Nicole welcomed comedian Laura Hernandez to the lighter side of the dark side.
Laura has Marfan Syndrome and is blind, but this was no pity party. She talked about everything from cosplaying as a steampunk at the Renaissance Faire, whipping her hair around at metal shows, dressing up as an eyeball with eyeball fingers on Halloween, overcoming bullying by being funnier than her bullies, being able to hear all sorts of conversations with her super hearing, how wild and sexual blind camps can be, why the tongue emoji is a favorite of the blind, and fibbing her way on to a lineup at a Marfan Syndrome benefit at The Ice House which launched her comedy career and much more...
