Nick and Leonard interview Karen Morgan, incredible comedian originally from Athens, GA, now living in the great state of Maine. Leonard and Nick talk about the ups and downs of comedy contests.
Afterwards, Karen, known as “Maine’s Funniest Mom”, tells us how she started in comedy like many others; she was encouraged to take a standup comedy workshop.
From a great experience on Nickelodeon’s “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” to a horrible experience on “America’s Got Talent” to an incredible encounter with Steven Wright, Karen has built a great multi-decade comedy career.
Triathlete, attorney, rabid Georgia Bulldogs fan, Karen brings clean smart comedy to people across the country.
She most definitely did not officially give us any legal advice…

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
