Guest host Adaam introduces Funny You Should Mention featuring Mike Pesca's conversation with Oxford educated comedian and freestyle rap powerhouse Chris Turner. Chris details his evolution from teenage deadpan one-liners to headlining top comedy clubs with real-time, crowd-assisted improvisational hip-hop. They discuss strategies for defusing hecklers, why freestyling feels more like tennis than chess, and how to build a flow state on stage. Plus, Chris takes on an impromptu five-word challenge, weaving Goyim, Jerry Springer, Cabinet Nominees, LegalZoom, and Hispaniola into an off-the-cuff freestyle

Produced by Corey Wara
