About this episode

Peterson reflects on his comic inheritance and shares a personal story from his past in Santiago, Chile.

Peterson reflects on the comic inheritance he received from his parents: his mother’s dry wit and his father’s bawdy barroom jokes. That leads into “Shell Game,” a true story from 1994 Santiago, Chile, when Peterson was closeted, married to a woman, working for a Christian mission, and trying desperately to become a straight man.
