The Word Association
Improvisers Adal Rifai, Brett Lyons and Rob White are The Word Association. Every episode, they each bring a new word to use as a springboard for discussion, bits, puns, tangents and more. Do they sometimes find connections between the words? Yes, they sometimes do. Adal, Brett, and Rob have each, at some point in their lives, been described as funny.
New episodes every Tuesday.
