Episode 81 (with Marito Lopez)

About this episode

Comedian Marito Lopez discusses the impact of losing his mother and how he processed that grief through comedy.

Comedian Marito Lopez told me about the life and memory of his mother, unexpectedly losing her at what felt like the peak of his career last year, how he was able to make jokes about it in the special he recorded a month later, her unconditional love and support, and how we are a continuation of our ancestors.
