Mary Ryan Brown Hangs with the Terry Gross She Might See at a Buc-ee's

Put on your pantyhose and your Talbots 2-piece skirt suit and get ready to glow up for the Nerd Carnival--it's one of the Deep South's very own, bean connoisseur and Holly's brand new duo interpretation partner, comedian Mary Ryan Brown. Listen in and feel bad for guys actually named Greg as Mary Ryan and Holly delve into their oddball-similarities, including both a long-held affinity for Terry Gross and the knowledge of which Staples you have to go to to find that specific book.

This episode is chock-full of the joy that is Mary Ryan's comedy and quick wit, whether that's in giving new meaning to the term "tube sock," looking for the Whalt Disney Whorld adults with a sense of humor, or talking Mary Ryan out of a Tide pod...we're just going to presume you know her already - but if you don't - Unseriously is delighted to introduce you.

Mary Ryan and Holly will also have some dear moments you won't want to miss remembering Mary Ryan's grandmother, Dr. Frances A. Karnes, what makes Southerners so special, and the intersection of faith and comedy.

Find Mary Ryan on Instagram or at her web site, maryryanbrown.com. Local friends, note she's appearing at the Stardome in Birmingham on October 4th with Landon Bryant.
