All right, today is a very special episode. I'm actually trying out a brand new format.

But don't worry, it is not in replace of core Mr. Ballin content. This is in addition to.

So we're calling it Storytime with Mr.

Ballin, and I'm going to be interviewing a guest. I've never done that before on any of my shows.

This is the first of its kind, and it's going to be really good. We're going to look at the art of

storytelling, how my guest employs storytelling. We're going to tell some stories because, of course, it wouldn't

be a Mr. Ball in production if there wasn't actual storytelling. And in fact, I'm going to be

telling a story that I've never shared anywhere. It's a really good story, so that's going to happen

today too. And our guest is incredible. He's got movies coming out. He's doing stand-up specials

left and right. He also happens

to be a fan of The Strange, Dark, and Mysterious. And I'm really excited to talk to him about the

art of storytelling, swapping some stories, and just seeing what he's all about. So, without further ado,

let's get into today's stories.

Thank you. Let's get into today's stories. This is Storytime with Mr. Ballin. I'm Tom Seguera.

Tom, welcome to Storytime with Mr. Ballin. Thank you.

Thank you for being on the show.

And for those who somehow don't know who Tom Segura is, you are arguably one of the hottest comedians, both physically and career-wise in the game. You are acting,

producing, directing. You are seriously everywhere right now. And one of the things that I noticed

about your sort of performance across mediums is that you really are like a remarkably good

storyteller. Oh, thanks, man.
