I Have a Problem, With David Heti David Heti

I suppose maybe our first "very special" episode, as my guest is none other than my Father. Sometimes I end up going home for a bit when in between living and doing shows and floating around other places. My Father was reluctant to come on, for various understandable reasons.

Eric’s an academic and we once went to give some talk and apparently I was a bit of a cunt when I had some place to be though he could’ve spoken up, no, don’t you think? He’s a lovely guy and it’s a delight to hear him put words together da da da da da.

Friend and musician Chris Durning hits on a part of the way I am that I’d never really thought of before. Maybe he’s right.

Comic (and musician) Nick Flanagan doesn’t want me sharing my thoughts or feelings with our community. It makes him uncomfortable with himself, apparently.

Comedy producer Sasha Manoli thinks it’s ok to just go around agreeing to things and then changing her mind. No, not really. Vegas, “cunt” and apparently not making very nice with other comics.

Comic Dom Paré doesn’t really hold back. In addition to just talking all over about the world of stand-up, he tells me what I’ve done to alienate others in the stand-up community. Honest, thoughtful, direct and maybe just a little bit bitter, there are few comics I enjoy talking with, listening to more. @dpare
