We had a St. Patty’s celebration, gorging ourselves on corned beef, potatoes, and of course Guinness. My guest is midwest nice through and through, hailing from Nebraska. Nic Dean is a stand-up comedian who performs all over the U.S., if you get the chance to see him perform, don’t miss out! Follow him @dr.nicdean
We discuss times in our life when police officers “gave us their card,” instead of ruining our lives, how the kill-em-with-kindness strategy can be utilized to send crazy rude people over the edge, and proper self-checkout etiquette. Apparently you only have to scan one of your oranges, not all of them — Who knew?!
Nic shares how he moved out of his parent’s home at age 10 and was raised mostly by his grandparents. He makes an astute observation that the greatest generation, our older grandparents, are working out their material. They tell the same stories, punching up certain parts over time, leaving out unneeded portions; our grandparents are rolling bits!
What was the best concert of Nic’s life? How is it possible that he knew his wife’s dog before they had even met? Did Nic use a fake ID to get into his first stand-up open mic?
All the answers you seek can be found in Ep. 96. Huge thanks to Nic for breaking bread, sharing laughs, and connecting over our love for stand-up. He is going to be huge, so catch a show while you can afford to see him!
