Summary

JEFF FOXWORTHY has been telling JOKES and making people LAUGH for a long time. Which is why it’s so incredible that this week show is one of the DEEPEST and most MEANINGFUL programs I’ve ever done We go deep on LIFE FAITH SUCCESS CANCEL CULTURE THE GOOD OLE DAYS And it’s truly an INCREDIBLE CONVERSATION. One I’m truly GRATEFUL to have participated in and I think you’ll be grateful that you listen to it or watched it You know Jeff best from his BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOURS with Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White as well as THE JEFF FOXWORTHY SHOW, and the quiz show ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER. He’s authored several books and recorded six comedy albums, including two that were certified 3x PLATINUM. But there’s a lot more to Jeff than just being a guy who tells “you might be a redneck” one-liners. This week’s podcast peels back the funny to reveal a DIFFERENT SIDE OF JEFF, from many years of struggles during his early years, to how the BIBLE has shaped and guided his daily life. One of the gifts of being a comedian is that not only are you a great storyteller, but you’re also a great observer of the HUMAN CONDITION. In fact, that’s where your humor often springs from. Jeff has also channeled those observational powers into watching how people deal or don’t deal with their problems. He’s also got great advice about LETTING GO of what you can't control, WHY FAILING A LOT is a key to success, and not putting yourself in situations that will ruin your life. We also get into how comedy has changed in recent years, especially as it relates to comedians and CANCEL CULTURE. Despite these kinds of challenges, Jeff talks openly about the JOYS OF BEING A COMEDIAN and how he remains RELEVANT and MOTIVATED while balancing the ongoing demands of being a celebrity. You’re going to like the hour we all spend together with Jeff. He’s got great stories to tell and great takes to download. And that, my friends, is no joke.
