Summary

New episode with stand-up comedian & podcaster, Bryan Callen! Turns out Bryan’s podcast was the first podcast my dad did when he went viral back in 2017. So this kind of felt like a conversation between old friends. We discussed his comedy career, social justice warriors, life as a parent, politics, Bryan’s upcoming special and more. Enjoy!

0:00.0	The idea that you would come up to me when I was younger and say, hey, you know that conflict that's been going on since Moses had a parting of the ways with the Pharaoh, we're going to stop at how, we're to put up tents and threaten not to go to class.
0:13.4	It's like the Israeli military, hey, they're doing,
0:16.2	they have a very aggressive drum circle
