#202 - Grace Kuhlenschmidt
Summary
Grace Kulenschmidt joins Stavvy to discuss their shared "invisible ink" childhoods and the absurdity of modern technology. They joke about Greek cultural stereotypes, including a pulley system for food delivery and the necessity of infidelity to avoid brain cancer. The conversation shifts to Grace’s desire to become a stepfather to Hilary Duff, followed by a review of the movie *Nirvana*. They also share funny anecdotes about gym culture, including being treated as an inspiration by instructors and being silently ignored by jacked gay men in West Hollywood.
