"The most fun thing i have done as a grown up is become part of this rock band called the rock bottom remainders," he says. "I got to play with not just roger mc gwynn, but bruce springstein and warren zvon." He adds: "To me, they's like better than winning a pull ets urprize Is really more, much more fun"

Though most know him first as a humor columnist, Dave Barry’s career has spanned many forms of media, including books, movies, TV, and music. Driving this relentless output, says Barry, is the constant worry he’ll find himself stuck in a rut — or worse — no longer funny. And do we even need professional comedians in an age where so many funny amateurs are readily available online?

Tyler and Dave discuss all these topics and more, including the weirdness of Peter Pan, what makes Florida special, how it felt to teach Roger McQuinn a lick on the guitar, and why business writing is so terrible.
