My great friend and comedy partner Dan Betts in crime joins my to discuss what it's like to create a piece of content that "goes viral." Dan made a meme last summer that received hundreds of thousands of likes and was picked up by major content aggregator sites. He came to speak with me while a comedy sketch of mine was on pace to do the same.  However, as my video approached 10,000 shares and 500,000 views, Facebook took it down as a violation of Community Standards.  Dan can relate, as out...

Fair warning, this one is quite less bubbly.  Joe and I get real, talking about mental health stuff and the catharsis that is stand-up, a.k.a. wallow in angst like a couple of bummers.  But we throw some zingers in there, best we can.  Hope you enjoy, or relate, or get something from it.  And I know we all are having a rough time, so heart goes out to you all as well.

Did a quick solo podcast because it's been too long, and to kick off my commitment for at least 7 straight days of new podcast episodes.  This one is kind of disjointed and ya' boy might be a bit rusty.. but we're back on the scoreboard at least.  Hope you enjoy, talk to you tomorrow.
