Shownotes
Ramon Rivas II (Comedy Central's The Half Hour, Netflix's Cooking on High, HBO's Crashing) describes a deja vu-like afterlife and the memory he'd choose to relive, a whirlwind of food and family prior to filming his Comedy Central special. His hell is full of drunk white people, and his "coma" is a pair of experiences that made him commit to his comedy and his life.
Ramon is a DIY role model, and this episode paints a portrait of a working class dude who loves his family and is working his ass off to create art and build community. Enjoy!
