JBP, Woke Universities, Parenting, Politics, Acting & Education | Bryan Callen EP 203

New episode with stand-up comedian & podcaster, Bryan Callen! Turns out Bryan’s podcast was the first podcast my dad did when he went viral back in 2017. So this kind of felt like a conversation between old friends. We discussed his comedy career, social justice warriors, life as a parent, politics, Bryan’s upcoming special and more. Enjoy!
