Dave Barry is one of the funniest people in all of history so I wanted to share with you his most recent appearance on the podcast from back in December. We talked Christmas gifts and his new memoir... then I almost talk him out of writing the memoir. That's what friends are for! He's older than me, looks about 20 years younger than me, and yet I'm still thrilled he's on the podcast!
