Summary

Robert Smigel joins the podcast to discuss his new podcast HUMOR ME, the origins of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, trying and failing to become a dentist, the formidable Jewfro he donned until his mid-30s, how he could have wound up a Reddit guy if things went differently, and much more. Robert and Stav help callers including a man who wants to get tattoos to attract goth chicks but is scared his grandma will write him out of her will if he does, and an escort whose favorite client betrayed her trust.
