Carmen tags out of this episode thanks to a hilarious root canal (so you know what she'll be TRYING to talk about next ep)! John does his best to make their guest feel at home - Zach Zimmerman, a kick-ass standup and now book author of the hilarious collection of essays, ”Is It Hot in Here (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)?” There's also some real poignant parts, too! John and Zach discuss his writing process, Zach trying out as a male cheerleader in high school, Zach coming out to his Christian relatives, and they both share stories of having their lives saved by professionals: firemen in Zach’s case, lifeguards in John’s. Why don't you save your own life from boredom by listening to this episode?
