34. 'In Mexico We Don't Have Rules' - The Dad Who Blinded a Woman (ft. Alejandra Escamilla)

Has your dad ever done donuts on his motorbike outside Sunday mass? Alejandra's dad has! Several times while his hair was dyed green (like Da Joka). In this episode we chat more deeply about Alejandra's dad, how often they touch and how she keeps in dad touch from overseas, including a 'once in a lifetime' kiss on her brother's forehead and her dad's insistence that he's too busy to text, but has all the time in the world to keep in touch in other unusual ways. We also recount the tragic day Max & Joe met the main man Francisco himself, at the legendarily beleaguered Barrel of Drafts comedy night, and how an unfortunate mishap with a CPR dummy worth £1000's was caught on CCTV by the venue management, got the barrel boys in deep trouble, and killed the night.We also hear some unbelievable dad-ecdotes from his rebel days revving up outside churches, to dating his students while teaching at university, as well as his thoughts on cars and learning to drive - including which muscle car he considers a 'pussy wagon' (and not in the way you'd like)! Finally we discuss his need for speed, including the crazy moment his ex dived out of a speeding car and the feuding family fallout which led to him being known locally as "the murderer"- especially from his mates while he was trying to pull. If all that madness isn't enough for you comedy nerds, we also discuss why the difficulties of organising a character comedy night will have you crying on the floor in a daffodil hat, and do a hilarious (d)ad read for Mexican coke, despite one of our Mexican accents sounding Indian- and its NOT the one you'd think!ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alejandra Escamilla is 'just a Mexican woman collecting embarrassing stories in different countries and turning them into stand-up. Halfway to my 100th gig and still making questionable life choices for the plot'.Follow her @alestandupcomedy on Instagramand @PinkuPanik on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/pinkupanik)Got a dad story for us?Email: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠Everything else: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpod⁠⁠Logo Design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino Dada
