Howard Hendrix Powell is filled with dark joy.

Xavier is out of town for a few weeks, but I am joined for the next few episodes with interim co-host, the great teacher, improv comedian, and past No Suggestion guest, Geoff Grimwood (@grimwoooo). This week, Geoff and I welcome No Suggestion's first legacy guest, the younger brother of past guest, the great Rocky Powell, actor, comedian, model, the effervescent Howard Hendrix Powell (@howardhendrixpowell)! Howard brings his high energy and rapid fire wit to Radio Free Brooklyn studios this week as we chat about, how people decide to include or omit their middle name, sneaking into his sister's house parties as a young kid, his stage debut in Lil' Abner, commandeering his college improv team, his Bring It On style heist of UCB's pedagogy, and more of Howard's Ferris Bueller-esque misadventures! And of course we get into some super silly and fun improv scenes, including a TV production crew who doses themselves with mushrooms, and high school chess team with rather pointed social hierarchy. Howard is full of fascinating stories and enthusiasm, this was episode is a blast!
