#27 Imprisoned Father-in-Law with Christian Finnegan
Christian Finnegan shares the downsides of having an imprisoned father-in-law, still being recognized as the guy who gets choked out on Chappelle's Show, open-heart surgery, making a sex playlist with CD's, and being a master impressionist but only of NY1 news anchors. I also complain about the two new La Croix flavors (Beach Plum & Limoncello) because they're disgusting.
