We Might Just Be Examining My Anxiety in Real Time with Alex Stone

Alex Stone (comedian, co-creator of The Movie Show on SYFY) is a pin-point precise standup who graduated from my high school (Sycamore) a few years after me. He surprised himself with his openness and vulnerability in this conversation, sharing a memory of a dogpile while watching soccer with a now-departed friend. He also talked about a disappointing rabbi, an embarrassingly touching Kenny Chesney song, and whether it's more embarrassing to bomb in front of someone you despise or admire.
