Like playing card games while camping? Our guest Julia Weiss tells us what it's like to work for a card game company. Julia is the lead writer for Cards Against Humanity, as well as a cast member on the podcast The Improvised Star Trek.

It's alleged the real estate was bought with the proceeds of a spectacular bank robbery.
