‘Ghost’ with Nicole Byer

‘Ghost’ with Nicole Byer

Author: MaximumFun.org August 7, 2020 Duration: 58:12

For our final week of the #MaxFunDrive we brought in one of the funniest people in the world. That’s right, we’ve got the wonderful Nicole Byer on the show, and guess what? She’s a goddamn delight! Nicole’s on the show to talk about her favorite film of all time, 1990’s Ghost. She also has a lot to say about ’90 Day Fiancé,’ so get ready for that. Plus, the gang plays everyone’s favorite trivia game, ‘Swayze, Demi, or Whoopi.’ And as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

Just a note about this episode, we recorded it before we postponed the MaxFunDrive. So some of the references may seem a little outdated. Other than that, it’s literally a perfect episode!
