Matt Balaker, author of “Greg Giraldo: A Comedian’s Story” (https://www.greggiraldobook.com/) joins me and we talk A LOT about one of our favorites - the brilliant Greg Giraldo. Matt and I go back-and-forth with our favorite Greg bits, I tell a few stories about working with him, we talk about how the book came fruition and what Greg’s family thinks of the the biography. We also talk about Matt’s stand-up and how he was dared to try it - and twenty years later, he’s still at it!
