Summary

Dave Barry is so funny, he won a Pulitzer Prize for making people laugh. In this episode of South Beach Sessions, Dan and Dave explore their decades of friendship– including all of the inspiration Dave has given Dan… With extreme honesty, Dave speaks about losing his parents, the source of his humor and warmth, early on in life. He opens up about his regrets over his mother’s death, all the while explaining why family was such a source of joy despite the loss. But life is full of joy alongside sorrow, and there’s plenty of joy here. Dan and Dave also reminisce about the good old days of journalism and opine on the beauty of romance, including a story about how Dave convinced Dan to get married. Dave’s upcoming memoir, CLASS CLOWN: The Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass, is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever you get your books. Learn more about your ad choices.
