Jared welcomes legendary “expert in pessimism” Eddie Pepitone for a Chit Chat Wednesday that somehow turns bleak childhood memories into pure comedy gold. Eddie takes us from soot-covered Brooklyn delis to surviving the Edinburgh Fringe like a stand-up endurance athlete, and he’s got some strong feelings about being labeled “the shouty guy.” They get into the weird relationship comics have with their fans, why bad times can weirdly be “Pepitone season,” and what today’s stand-up boom is doing to the craft. Then things take an unexpected turn into gym videos, capitalism rants, and a very specific Florida breakfast order that says a lot about a person. Stick around for the menu game and the travel story that proves Eddie might actually chase historic storms on purpose.
