Andrew Goldman is totally, embarrassingly unprepared for what
this week’s guest, comedian Ron White, discloses at the top of the
interview. Spoiler ahead. Since appearing in The Blue Collar
Comedy Tour, the Texas-born comedian has become one of the
highest paid comedians in the world with an act that has consisted
of him recounting his exploits as a hard-partying “amok-running
motherfucker.” Andrew is shocked to learn that Ron quit drinking 14
months ago. So, how does a performer so associated with drinking
that he never appears onstage without a tumbler full of booze
navigate life and work without the hard stuff? Though Ron is one of
the funniest people alive, it’s an affecting hour about aging,
addiction, love, divorce, and the perils of fame. Also, stick
around for a lot of poop talk. Plus, Andrew makes amends for
failing Ron when they first met eight years ago.
