Jon welcomes and gets reacquainted with a friend from years ago, Patrick McCarthy.

Patrick is a Storyboard Artist for the hit animated TV show, Family Guy.

They discuss Patrick's younger years trying stand up, moving to Hollywood, not having a plan, facing struggles, trying to go with what life gives him, and then ending up someplace great in a way he didn't quite expect.

Plus, Patrick gives a few insights into working in animation for a major animated network show that is world famous. (hint: it seems pretty awesome)
