Episode 70- Comedian Mark Normand!!!  Mark was singled out by Jerry Seinfeld as one of the best young comedians out there.  If you don't know his name yet, you will soon.  He's made appearances on the Tonight Show, Conan, Joe Rogan and others.  In this interview we discuss his unusual upbringing and path to success and all the bumps along the way.  He tells hilarious stories about corporate gigs and we discuss people being offended by comedy.  Plus he roasts me!
