In Part 1 of this powerful two-part episode, I’m joined by comedian and writer J.B. Ball to talk about comedy, identity, and finding unity in a divided world.

We dive into his latest special, “Jesus in the Crackhouse” and the powerful message behind it: “We’re better together than apart.” J.B. gets real about navigating politics through humor, the responsibility of being a voice in the culture, and how he stays grounded through it all.

We also talk about his journey into comedy, who he was as “young J.B.,” and who he credits for the man he has become.

Note: Near the end of this episode, my video froze (yes… tech issues!), so you’ll only see J.B. if you’re watching—but you’ll still hear me clearly. We wrapped the conversation shortly after that moment.

Part 2 drops next Tuesday—and let’s just say, the energy shifts! We go from reflective to unhinged, covering everything from sex to wild hypotheticals, with plenty of laughs in between.
