5 years ago today, a young man got on a stage in Oxford, MS and tried stand-up comedy for the first time. That young man was Sam Lyons. On this, the wooden anniversary, Sam tells the story of how he was inspired to try comedy, and reflects a bit on where he’s taken him. He also provides the rundown of his 5 must-watch Nicholas Cage and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and at the end of the episode, you can hear his first set in entirety! The Patriots won the Super Bowl, and life will go on. Enjoy!
