Because of the Coronavirus, we weren't able to record this week, so we're sharing a throwback episode of Father Time with Bert Kreischer. He's one of the biggest comics on earth, yes, the guy with the Russian Mob story. But his back story is insane. He talks about his early days and his beginnings in comedy. It's phenomenal. My apologies for it being a little "blue". I'm rating it explicit but Father Time was way raunchier. I'm not bleeping it. Give it a listen and definitely check out his new special on Netflix. Hey Big Boy!

Carlos Alazraqui (Reno: 911) and Vince Donvito (CSI:NY) talk about their new film, Witness Infection, but really start to get loose as we break out a bottle of Bunnahabhain Scotch. We discuss teaching karate to kids, meltdowns, Coronavirus, right vs. left, Big Tuesday, and Carlos's numerous voices in his head. See if you can tell at what moment I get drunk. It's pretty obvious. This is the first podcast we've recorded at night and honestly, I think this is our new model.

Here at The DadLands, we have a bone to pick with these romantic movies that end with two people who have magically fallen in love by the end. We're supposed to believe that they go on to have a wonderful life together when in reality we know that's when it gets really hard. Take the movie Cocktail. We did. My panel of esteemed funnymen (Michael Bunin, Patrick Keane, and Scott Feldman) break down just how ridiculous it is to think that a bar owner in Manhattan (Tom Cruise) and an artist (Elisabeth Shue) have twins in New York and survive marriage. We give a more honest take on how this story ends. Cocaine Addiction, Affairs, Resentment... it ends horribly. And hilariously funny. Enjoy our next take on parenthood with this innovative concept show.

World Famous Comedian, Jo Koy, has been selling out arenas recently after the international success of his numerous Netflix specials, "Comin' in Hot", "Live From Seattle", and the upcoming "Live from The Philippines". He is hilarious and a great dad. We talk about girl scout cookies, eating vegetables, being color blind, and everything else about raising kids. Jo also goes into depth about his Mom, who has become one of the biggest parts of his stand up act for "Josep". It's also pretty amazing to hear what it's like to sell out arenas as a comedian. He's a great guy for coming by to chat and for buying all of my kid's girl scout cookies. Enjoy!
