My guest is a passed regular at the Denver Comedy Underground, he works as an engineer by day and by night, lights up crowds in laughter with his stand-up; please power as much electrical current into your heart & welcome to InTALLerable: Paul Garcia!

Follow Paul on Instagram @Paul_Garcia_Comedy & check out his monthly comedy show he hosts at the Beer Barn!

Paul & I discussed how having a personality & breaking the “norm” brings levity to the workplace, especially when you’re working with mostly engineers. Sean shared more of both the fun & the challenges that Olive, our studio cat, has brought into his life, & Paul told a legendary Sam Miller story from a show at Gnarly’s (RIP). We’re here doubting the AI dystopia fears, in hopes our AI son will one day grab us a beer. Cheers.
