#223: Myq Kaplan - The Second Arrow

Myq Kaplan is a stand-up comedian who's been in the business for 20+ years and has done pretty much everything there is to do including appearances on the Tonight Show, Conan, Letterman, James Corden, Seth Meyers, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and America's Got Talent. He has a half-hour special on Comedy Central, a one-hour standup special on Amazon called "Small, Dork, and Handsome," and a new Dry Bar special called "Live From The Universe," as well as two podcasts, "The Faucet" and "Broccoli and Ice Cream." His debut album, "Vegan Mind Meld," was one of iTunes' top 10 comedy albums of the year, and his newest album, "A.K.A.," debuted at #1 and was called "invigoratingly funny" by the NY Times! He is also the author of Heart Brain Art Train – which is a collection of 75+ new pieces with jokes by Myq Kaplan and art by Ramin Nazer. This beautiful glossy hardcover book is filled with the most vibrant colors. We chat about his unique name, views on success and longevity, comparing, love of music and his journey with it, words and the second arrow concept.   The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!
