My love for math and my love for comedy and science, I don't think they're separate entities.

I was not an artist by training.

I think an artist creates things whose value is measured subjectively.

Stand-up comedy specifically sits at an odd intersection in that you could almost not qualify as art because every decision I make is focused grouped in real time. It's empirical. It's extremely empirical. I think that was my draw to it. And instant results. Instantly. Like math. The math, the solution is revealed in that moment. Yes. And comedy, the solution is revealed in that moment. Hypothesis, conclusion in a heartbeat. In a heartbeat. In a heartbeat. when I invited a comedian on the show that we would spend so much time talking

about math.

But it's to be expected.

Matthew Broussard is a former financial analyst who, let's just say, got forced into stand-up

comedy.

I found his work on Instagram a whole bunch of years ago and am a huge fan.

He's also the creator of Monday Punday, the official name of his channel that is chock full of comedy and thank goodness not much math.

This nerd at heart taught me an invaluable life lesson. At various times we all feel stupid, which very often results in us actually

believing we're stupid. I, for one, always thought that I was bad at math. But as Matthew

explained it to me, I'm not stupid. I was just taught badly. In this episode, we talk about curiosity,

finding good teachers, and mothers.

This is a bit of optimism.

This episode is brought to you by Porsche and their new Macon.

And when they reached out to us and asked if I would be comfortable to talk about the new Porsche McCann, well, let's just say I already owned one.

That's actually my car.

So the simple answer was yes.

So I discovered you on the Instagram.

Because comedians pop up in my feed.

Apparently the algorithm knows I like funny things.
