Description

Comedian Joe McAdam tells the story of a legendary liar he used to drink with at a secluded dive bar in Chicago. Joe's liar claimed to be everything from a CIA hitman to a world class hacker to a bounty hunter. This leads to a longer discussion on how fun liars are. CJ and Sean discuss some of their all time favorite liars, both ones they knew personally, like the carpenter Sean meet who said he out-ran a police helicopter, along with famous liars like Wilt Chamberlain. We also discuss how times are tougher now for liars, with everyone having smart phones and google.
