Click here to download in iTunes

Joey Diaz and I sat in his North Hollywood yard and talked about being two years into being a parent. It got way deeper than I expected. Diaz manages to bridge the worlds he was in between this 2 year old child of his, and his estranged daughter from his former life. And we got into his own 2nd year of life, his comedy life. And how he got started. Jesus. This one had a lot of stuff to it.

Just really a great story. I think about it a lot. So, god damn hilarious. And so full of pain and redemption. I couldn’t talk for, like, 30 seconds after he finished that night. Before I was even off the stage after saying goodnight I knew I wanted this story to close the season.
