Greg is in Minneapolis, and starts off the podcast by talking about Greg Giraldo, how they both came up in the comedy world at the same time, what a great person he was, how well they got along, and how he dealt with the loss. He then plays clips from the last time Greg Giraldo was on the podcast.
He takes time to talk about Minneapolis, what a great city it is, Vikings jerseys, and his son's birthday. He also recaps his chat with Brad on the Adam Carolla Show, where he feels that he went too far in pushing him.
In an unprecedented display of AA list talent, I am joined in my garage/studio first by Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks, and then Zach Galifianakis (not via telephone this time). We sat in my studio, along with Mike Gibbons, for a very, very long time and discussed everything from fame, to race, to orange pubic hair. This is part one. Part two will be up in a week to allow for my “Live from Minneapolis” podcast this Saturday.
Enjoy it, and please leave a comment about it on iTunes!
