I chat with comedian and fellow traveler in the pothole-filled road of anxiety Joe List (Netflix, The Tonight Show, Letterman, Conan) about his late night debut back in 2014 on Letterman, his new special "This Year's Material," (out April 29 on YouTube), and the best advice he received to calm green room jitters. Catch him on "Tuesdays with Stories" his weekly podcast with Mark Normand, his 2020 special "I Hate Myself" on YouTube, "Joe and Raanan Talk Movies" with Raanan Hershberg, the Comedy Cellar, and many other places that aren't McDonald's (you'll get it once you watch). Please give our interview a watch, like, and subscribe, and thank you Joe for the chat!
