Chubby Behemoth: Nathan Lund and Sam Tallent are Chubby Behemoth, a podcast. They are two of the comedians in Denver I (this is Mark Masters writing) look up to the most in the Denver scene, they are outrageously funny, incredibly giving, and pretty much everything they do is successful. Collectively, they have a ton of credits including Viceland, Comedy Central, BBC, JFL and more. They are legend, I'm so excited they agreed to do this.

Mark Masters: Mark Masters lives in Colorado. He hosts and produces the monthly Vail Comedy Show as well as a weekly online showcase called the Comedy Test Kitchen.
