Humorist and cartoonist, José Arroyo joins us on the podcast this week. José joins us again nearly two years after we last had him on and it's been a very busy two years for him! He's been working with Conan O'Brien on a number of projects including Conan's travel show, "Conan O'Brien Must Go" (currently available on Max), the Oscars and Conan's appearance on the Hot Ones podcast. 
We have some great  discussions on creativity and humor. We also learn that Cornell University is a great college to go to if your math skills are a bit lacking and that Beth drops her phone on her face before falling asleep at night.
