Billy Masters LIVE (S04E2) - 4-12-23 - Judy Gold is one of Billy's favorite guests. Strike that - one of his favorite people. She's funny, she's smart, she's quick, she's loyal, and she's BACK!! Her off-Broadway show "Yes, I Can Say That!" is based on her book of the same name (and cleverly staged by BD Wong) is a cross between history lesson, confessional, and cautionary tale – with plenty of laughs. Whenever times are bleak, it is comedians that not only speak truth to power, but also provide us with the courage to face anything and everything. Billy and Judy will likely talk about EVERYTHING on this episode! You can watch this episode at: https://www.youtube.com/live/EP36johrxhc
