New episode with stand-up comedian & podcaster, Bryan Callen! Turns out Bryan’s podcast was the first podcast my dad did when he went viral back in 2017. So this kind of felt like a conversation between old friends. We discussed his comedy career, social justice warriors, life as a parent, politics, Bryan’s upcoming special and more. Enjoy! Bryan Callen is an actor, comedian, and podcaster. He is best known for his recurring role as “Coach Mellor” on ABC’s Schooled and The Goldbergs and as one of the original cast members of MadTV. Callen has also appeared in TV and films including Kingdom, Hangover 1 & 2, Ride Along, Sex and the City, Old School, Entourage, Californication, and many more. —Check Out Our Sponsors— - Hangover supplement, After Party on https://bit.ly/4b3eAyg and Amazon https://amzn.to/4csS3w6.
