Your EX Drinking Buddy

This week is a walk down memory lane and is incredibly nostalgic. My guest is Daniel Barakat, one of my closest and best friends since college. This episode is full of happy memories and sad ones. We talk about first meeting at FAU (and the sad death of the person who brought us together), becoming very close even though we were seemingly polar opposite people (Nerd v Jock), me being by his side every step of the way in his relationship with his now wife, and how our lives turned into the bizzaro versions of each other before I got sober.

We have plenty of EX Drinking Buddy stories; the origin of slap shots, student apartment parties, him getting busted for partying too hard, his wife calling me over to start parties, him being the only one I could call after a trip to the ER, and so much more.

This week is a huge one, especially for fans of Comedy! Mike Carano is a photographer, film maker, podcaster, was the booker/GM of multiple Improvs, and is an overall awesome guy with a crazy array of stories. We discuss starting at the Improv as a doorman and turning it into a 30 year career, becoming friends with some of the biggest names in the HISTORY of comedy, his last drunk and continued sobriety, a bunch of stories involving some big names you will all recognize, and some stories of him being recognized.

We also get into a bunch of EX Drinking Buddy stories: when Mike first started drinking regularly in high school (and the consequences of that), working at a job where you were allowed to get a buzz going, the origins of Trunk Vodka, confrontations with bosses, doing shots of Jager into his 40’s, dealing with cops drunk at 16, and so much more.

This week I am joined by one of my very close friends and hilariously unapologetic comedian, Will Blaylock. He is super funny and will be the first one to tell you about it. We get into his love for trolling people online and in real life, growing up as a nerd in an environment that, we will just say, wasn’t very conducive for that, and his uncanny ability to take over entire rooms with just his words.

Some great EX Drinking Buddy stories as well; from run down strip clubs to the nicer versions, traveling around the country for stand up, saving some women from a crazy guy, and what drinking is for me compared to him.
