Welcome to another episode of the HOZ Comedy Podcast with Joey. On this episode the crew sits down with comedian Fred E Fritz to talk about his journey into stand-up comedy, the comedians and shows that inspired him, and how growing up shaped his sense of humor. Freddie shares stories about childhood TV favorites, discovering comedy legends like George Carlin, and finding his own voice on stage.

The conversation takes plenty of hilarious detours into unforgettable pet stories, generational differences, Army life, working loss prevention at Kmart, favorite comedy movies, Kevin Smith films, and some truly embarrassing lactose-intolerance bathroom disasters. It's a fun, laid-back episode packed with laughs, nostalgia, and the kind of wild stories only comedians can tell.
