In this interview with Chad "The Dad" Harris, we discuss not only Chad's chops in comedy, but the role of humor in getting through the tougher times, how we can generate a grateful, funny outlook on life even when there's not much to laugh at, seemingly. The brewery is kinda loud, there's a bit of an echo, but in the end, it's two friends trying to get to the bottom of some things that make us laugh. Thanks to Tonia, a thoughtful listener who provided the impetus for this discussion.
