About this episode

Adam Ray joins Chris Distefano for a chaotic discussion about comedy, parenthood, and life in New York City.

#ChrisDistefano #StandUp #Comedy Adam Ray joins Chris Distefano in the Chaos Bus for an absolutely unhinged episode in the middle of New York City. Adam talks about preparing for Kill Tony at Madison Square Garden, becoming a first-time dad, his rise in comedy, his new Netflix show The Adam Ray Show and why part of him still wants a shot at Saturday Night Live. Plus, Chris and Adam interact with random New Yorkers, get wrapped in tefillin on the street, debate comedy, tell childbirth horror stories and somehow turn a normal podcast into complete NYC chaos. 00:00 Adam Ray Joins the Chaos Bus 03:14 Hunter Biden & Adam’s Wife Stepping In 05:23 Adam Ray Is Having His First Baby 07:07 Chris’ Childbirth Horror Stories 14:01 Kill Tony at Madison Square Garden 18:31 Chaos With New Yorkers 21:17 The Pressure of Performing at MSG 22:20 Adam Ray’s Rise & the Kill Tony Backlash 24:48 Raising Kids on the Stuff You Love 27:39 Adam’s Talent & Late-Night Future 28:33 Adam Ray Opens Up About SNL 29:30 Adam’s Netflix Show & His Characters 33:25 Chris & Adam Get Wrapped in Tefillin 41:41 A Random New Yorker Interrupts the Podcast 43:27 He Can’t Name a Single Comedian 45:52 The Random People Saved…
