Ian drops by to talk to Stephen about:
-How Ian was doing 30-40 shows a week before the pandem
-Building up a tolerance to hecklers and bad crowds through performing at some of the toughest crowds in NYC
-How support from Mark Normand opened up opportunities like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
-The best response for when people ask comedians, “Is that story true or did you make that up?”

Then the two dive into advice, including deciphering a quote from a robot, Christmas gifts for landlords, how to sleep comfortably in a car and so much more.
