Call Me Limbo
Call Me Limbo is your weekly dose of comedic therapy where pop culture and politics get tossed in a blender with personal stories, improv games, and zero chill. Hosted by Dai and David—two queer best friends with more opinions than filter—the show tackles everything from reality TV and music videos to capitalist hellscapes and Bad Bunny’s underwear.
It’s entertainment with a little revolution on the side.
Sometimes you’ll laugh until you cry. Sometimes you’ll cry until you’re organizing a union. Either way, we’re here for the drama, the joy, and the work of building a better world—with jokes. Always with jokes.
We believe the personal is political, but also… pop culture is too damn fun to ignore. So whether you’re here for the Disney Channel wand impressions or a fiery takedown of billionaires—welcome. You’ve found your people.

Call Me Making the Case for Open Borders with John Washington
This week, Dai and David are joined by John Washington, who is the author of The Case for Open Borders and The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum and the US-Mexican Border and Beyond. They discuss the legality of migration and the "freedom of movement", key components of a leftist immigration plan, the economics of immigration, immigration's connection to climate change, what a land of open borders would actually look like, how the globe is currently organized, and much much more.
