My HoneyDew this week is comedian Francisco Ramos! Check out his new comedy special, Venezuela'Merican, on YouTube now! Francisco joins me to highlight the lowlights of his Venezuelan upbringing in America, his family dynamic, the passing of his late father, and the impact it has had on his life since. Francisco describes what it’s like living with a double identity—being himself at home, but ‘Frank’ at school. He shares the warm way his grandma would greet him by saying things like, “You’ve gotten fat.” He opens up about his family's challenges in expressing emotion to one another, even during a time like his father’s passing. Francisco also talks about leaning more into his Venezuelan roots in comedy as a way to feel connected to his late father now.

My HoneyDew this week is comedian George Perez! Check out his podcast, George Perez Stories. George joins me to highlight the lowlights of his experience being a father while incarcerated and the dynamics of raising his kids after being released. George opens up about the emotional impact of being separated from his family and the challenges of explaining to his kids why he couldn’t come home yet. We dive into the complexities George faced when reintegrating into society and the influence his experience had on raising his kids, hoping to prevent them from following the same path.
