Desmin Borges

Actor Desmin Borges (“You’re the Worst”) joins the Sklars for this week’s County. They chat him up about being the “ethnic wildcard” in showbusiness and his Chicago roots. Then, Daniel Van Kirk brings stories about Michigan tubers who lack a basic understanding of river functionality, a woman arrested for drunk horseback riding, and a pizza lover who financed his habit by unscrupulous means. Finally, the Sklars listen to a musical voicemail from Bryant Gumbel.

This week, Paul’s special guest is Desmin Borges of FXX’s You’re the Worst!

Paul is then joined by his Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ co-stars Dan Ahdoot, Tim Baltz, and Tawny Newsome to improvise a story set in a Donut Factory.
