Get ready for an episode that is as hilarious as it is history-altering! Michael sits down with the renowned Las Vegas ventriloquist and comedian, April Brucker, for a deep dive into the fascinating, and often misunderstood, world of ventriloquism.

In this episode, we explore:

The Dark Origins: April pulls back the curtain on the centuries-old history of ventriloquism. Long before it arrived in America in 1776, this craft carried a much darker, mysterious reputation across European culture.
Radio & The Craft: Discover the surprising parallels between the golden age of Old Talk Radio and the art of modern ventriloquism—specifically how both rely on the precise development of unique, compelling characters to captivate an audience.
The May Wilson Takeover: We’re joined by April’s star pupil, the one and only May Wilson! Hear about May’s recent high-profile appearance with legendary group The Ink Spots, her sudden rise to fame in Las Vegas, and her shocking transition to the Fox News desk.
A New Romance? Things get complicated in the studio as May Wilson reveals her very vocal—and very public—crush on Michael. Is May actually becoming more famous than her handler?

Tune in to hear how this craft is evolving, why the "darker side" of comedy is still alive and well, and find out if Michael can handle the pressure of being May Wilson’s latest heartthrob.
