The Originals #26 Ron White

Andrew Goldman is totally, embarrassingly unprepared for what this week's guest, comedian Ron White, discloses at the top of the interview. Spoiler ahead. Since appearing in The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, the Texas-born comedian has become one of the highest paid comedians in the world with an act that has consisted of him recounting his exploits as a hard-partying "amok-running motherfucker." Andrew is shocked to learn that Ron quit drinking 14 months ago. So, how does a performer so associated with drinking that he never appears onstage without a tumbler full of booze navigate life and work without the hard stuff? Though Ron is one of the funniest people alive, it's an affecting hour about aging, addiction, love, divorce, and the perils of fame. Also, stick around for a lot of poop talk. Plus, Andrew makes amends for failing Ron when they first met eight years ago.
