and I'm not talking about batteries, incredible guests with no holding back.

Today, I'm joined by comedy royalty, an icon in the game who rarely does interviews, Eddie Izard.

Eddie Izard. I'm here with one of the true legends in the game, a man I grew up to, even though

They scaled them out of horn.
