On this episode of Hot Chicken and Cage-Free Conversation, Byron Kennedy chats with his mentor, coach and comedian William Barcena. While they’re not sitting over a plate of hot chicken this time, the conversation is truly cage-free. 

They talk about:

  • Willie on the Tonight Show
  • Comedy Bits
  • Getting coached by Willie and dissecting the bad
  • Audience energy vs Comedian energy
  • Is Willie Barcena a comedy bully?!
  • Willie, Byron's morning show guy on the radio back in the day on KSFM in Sacramento
  • Building a studio in his house so Willie could work from home but the studio was "never working"
  • Byron firing Willie...
  • Willie encouraging Byron to do standup 20 years ago
  • Dentist visit or a porno?
  • And a whole lot more very cage-free topics
