Episode notes

I would like to see more Mexican comedians. That's something I don't think I that I see enough of sometimes or maybe I'm not familiar enough. There's a lot of Hispanic comedians I've seen. They're very funny. And you just have to let people be funny. You know, we put so when you start to limit people's words or they said this or they you just you're killing everything. But there's a part of us in humans that wants to that wants to get out and I think it'll find its way out.

Roseanne Barr is an Emmy-award winning comedian, writer and actress known for her iconic show “Roseanne” which aired for 10+ years. She is also a best-selling author, political activist and and active stand-up comedian. She just launched "the Roseanne Barr Podcast" which is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
