Mike and Darin welcome guest J Ryan, who shares one of the wildest stories ever told on the show—how he ended up with David Letterman’s actual microphone from the Ed Sullivan Theater.
The conversation dives into late-night TV history, comedy careers, obsession, and the strange decisions that sometimes pay off in unforgettable ways.
We also dive deep into a heartfelt conversation about J's amazing wife, Nicole, and their journey since her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.
