Ep. 85 - Sports Fans Ft. Jessica Keenan

They unite and divide, distracting from what’s important while being equally important.

Sports are integral to the fabric of our society, but there are some fans who take it too far. Comedian Jessica Keenan (HBO, Netflix) joins us to discuss the humor that's built into sports fandom, her perspective of how passionate her husband is about sports, and how sports can impact our relationships, all while proving that you CAN laugh at sports fans.
