In this episode, I sit down with my nephew, Sean Violette, who among other things, recently graduated from UCONN (Go Huskies!). We talk about tarot card readers, comedic dog tragedies, gross EMT stories, Broadway, the 9/11 Museum, and multiple tales of people falling down. 

Sean is the absolute man, and this episode is hysterical.
