Summary

It’s triple D today: Denis, David, and Dana. That’s right—Denis Leary, aka Conan O’Brien’s comedy cousin, joins the pod to reminisce about the Boston comedy scene of the ’80s, including his time at Emerson College’s Comedy Workshop. Denis gets into why he never did Saturday Night Live—even though he would’ve landed there during the guys’ era—and reflects on his iconic film roles, including Demolition Man, plus what it was like golfing with Sylvester Stallone.
