Mike Eaton

What this episode covers

Mike Eaton is one of my absolute favorites, and this one proved exactly why. We walked around Austin on a beautiful February day — Mike's been doing stand-up for seven and a half years and has one of the sharpest, most unfiltered minds I've come across. He talks about what it actually feels like to be on stage when you have anxiety — why performance is the one place his brain shuts up — and why he thinks Austin might not be where he belongs long-term. We also spent a concerning amount of time on peanut butter. I'm not sorry. This is the walk-and-talk format at its best: no agenda, good weather, two people who should probably not be given a microphone, given one anyway.
