Ever found yourself caught between a chuckle and a trip down sports nostalgia lane? That's where Dez O'Neal and I land this week, blending stand-up comedy insights with hearty reflections on basketball yesteryears. Dez is revving up for a night of gut-busters at Dallas Comedy Club, and I'm riding shotgun on the feature act. We're serving up laughter all night for 2 shows at 7:30 and 9:30.

Switching from a double-dribble to a full-court press, our chat gets personal as we mull over Kobe Bryant's legacy and how the global pandemic nudged our lives onto unexpected paths. The high stakes of Texas poker rooms and the quirky underground UNO scene bring a lighter touch to the conversation. And if you think sports betting is all about the money, wait until we reveal the darker parallels with game-fixing scandals that'll have you questioning every play.

Tune in as we navigate the algorithmic rabbit hole of TikTok, where apocalyptic prophecies meet divine revelations between scrolls. The Dallas Comedy Club's facelift and its magnetic pull for fresh comedic talent spell a bright future for the local laugh scene. Wading through the nuances of race in comedy, Dez and I get real about the tightrope walk of authenticity atop audience expectations. If you're in for tales that tackle the hilarity and heartache of the stand-up life with a side of sports and societal musings, this conversation with Dez O'Neill is your ticket.

We lost our co-host, Gatsby The Artist, because he has blown up as a podcast producer, and all future episodes will be hosted by just myself, Adam Jay. But don't be sad, Gatsby is still around and don't be surprised to see him as a guest on future episodes!
