Comedian FreddyG and Will share the comedian trait of learning about a subject and then learning everything about said subject.  Freddy tells Will about growing up in Queens, attending Jewish school, finding improv as an escape from his day job and then later stand up, the NYC open mic scene, getting millions of views on TikTok, current day politics, and how his further readings on religion will inform his next solo show.
