Description

In Freakonomics, we learn how economics can improve your daily life and help you achieve your goals. (Like Kellen’s goal of a good financial future for his kids, and Dave’s goal of joining the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.) Plus, Kellen talks about the things that will and won’t kill you, and Dave tells stories about comedians attacking dictators.*Kellen Erskine has appeared on Conan, Comedy Central, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC's America's Got Talent, and the Amazon Original Series "Inside Jokes."

Kellen was named one of TBS's Top Ten Comics to Watch in 2017. He currently tours the country.*David Vance's videos have garnered over 1 billion views.
