Finding humor in life’s obsurdities

Chris creates a space for his guests to share those all too human moments when life humbles us and asks the perfect questions to unravel the meaning and opportunities for growth in those experiences. All with just the right amount of humor (and fart jokes). Listening to Worst Time is like hunkering down for a conversation with your best friend.
