Summary
Against better judgment, Charlie plays therapist for comedian Rory Scovel on this episode of the Cripescast. Together they unpack the trauma of being former altar boys, their time in local news, and bombing on stage. From his first try at doing stand up at a poetry open mic in Spartanburg, South Carolina to becoming a regular comic on Conan, Rory’s struck success throughout his comedy career. Rory attributes his ability to endure criticism on stage to him failing the 10th grade and his love for making people laugh, whether it’s with him or at him.

| 0:41.1 | Rory's coming to Milwaukee. He's coming to the Turner Hall of Ballroom July 21st. |
| 0:47.3 | Tickets are at RorySchool.com. He's also got so many Apple States around then Chicago. So, |
| 0:53.1 | yeah, if you're not specifically in the Milwaukee area, it's the perfect time. It's right in the |
| 0:57.1 | summer. That's when you ought to be in the Midwest. Yeah, so he's going to be long story short. He's |

| 1:24.5 | anyway, we'll chit chat with him in a minute. You guys also went down like a Catholic church |
| 1:30.9 | rabbit hole. Yeah, yeah. And let me say this off the top. Let me say this off because I grew up |
