Finally, Carl sits down with, in his opinion, the best comedian in the state, Josh Adams! To be quite frank, Josh is better than almost anyone at comedy anywhere. Josh has had some recent success appearing on Hard Knocks on HBO for the Detroit Lions. He opened up for Mo'Nique and D.L. Hughley at the Fox Theatre and has his own podcast, called "Josh Adams Podcast".

This week, Carl sits down with the very talented, Heather Sejnow! Heather is an impressionist and comedian. She is considered as the "wild card" of a lineup. She is the only impressionist in the state and quite frankly, one of the best Carl has ever heard period! Heather has been performing for a long time doing improv, theater and more recently, stand up. The two dive into the stupidity of why impressions are considered "hack" in the stand up comedy world, fitting in, family and much more!
