Jimmy Failia is a stand up comedian, author and host of Fox across America with Jimmy Failla. Jimmy is also the father of a teenage son who has recently reawoken his Madden skills, leading to a father-son rivalry that Jimmy "embarrassingly" dominates. Jimmy discusses his early career of balancing his stand up with being a NYC Cab driver and how throwing a baby into the mix really made him apply himself for the first time in his life. He tells stories from bringing his 2 year old on stage when he didn't have a sitter to mastering the skill of silently sneaking into your kids room. You can follow Jimmy @jimmyfailla on Twitter and Instagram and listen to him weekdays from 12-3 on Fox News Radio.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
