Jamie talks with clear headed comedian Tom Simmons. Tom is a prolific, opinionated comedian that has appeared on BET, Laughs TV, and currently spends his time touring and hosting the popular internet television show “So Then There’s This.”

 On this episode we discuss (among many other things):

• Why one of the five biggest regrets of people that are dying led to this interview.
• Addiction and getting sober.
• How to get to a point where your wife wants you to do nothing around the house.
• Why Tom only goes to one AA meeting a year.
• How Tom responds to internet critics and also the worst way to respond to negative internet criticism. (Spoiler: They are the same thing.)
• Why even if you effortlessly stopped for 17 days you are most definitely a raging alcoholic.
