Sports are integral to the fabric of our society, but there are some fans who take it too far. Comedian Jessica Keenan (HBO, Netflix) joins us to discuss the humor that's built into sports fandom, her perspective of how passionate her husband is about sports, and how sports can impact our relationships, all while proving that you CAN laugh at sports fans.
In this episode, we talk about:
-Dating men that happen to be really into sports.
-Writing about the things that annoy you.
-Starting a bit by introducing conflict to create tension with the audience.
-Jessica’s writing process.
-Thinking about sports as a religion.
