About this episode
Nick Swardson discusses his journey with sobriety and shares insights on his life and career.
I sit down with Nick Swardson and we get into the real stuff — drinking, almost dying, and our views on sobriety today. We also talk about Nick’s famous friends - Adam Sandler, David Spade, Danny McBride, Zach Galifianakis - our shared fear of flying, early New York comedy, what he is working on now, and why it’s hard to let go of the version of yourself everyone expects.
