In this, their 1st episode, Doug and Ian discuss their origin story and how they met at a comedy club in Baltimore. They also get into their collective obsession with comedy, balancing comedy and parenthood, fatherhood and family, differentiating between being a comedian and being a creative person, and playing a game called "Which side of the border?"

This is the first episode of our new friendship podcast called "Have I Told You Lately." We hope you enjoy this and our upcoming podcast episodes. We'll be covering lots of topics from "sauna etiquette" and "vasectomies" to "typical male behavior" in our upcoming episodes, so tune in and make our conversations a part of your weekly routine. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to us wherever you listen to podcasts. Feel free to comment where possible and let us know what you think of the show.
Thanks so much!

Ian & Doug

The "Have I Told You Lately Podcast" is a friendship podcast that transcends national and racial boundaries. With this in mind, August 1st is an ideal day for the podcast's launch.

It commemorates Emancipation Day, the day in 1834 when the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 went into effect across the British Empire. Many Canadians and Americans are only aware of Canada’s part in the Underground Railroad, however, unaware that Black and Indigenous people were once enslaved in Canada.

Emancipation day signifies how the freedom of a people establishes the framework of liberty for all of us, regardless of our identities. As you listen, we hope that you clearly see our commitment to others' freedom and ability to thrive as husbands, fathers, human beings, and, in the context of Emancipation Day, members of our cultural and civic communities.

Get ready to listen to our first podcast episode! As you tune in, take a moment to honor and celebrate Emancipation Day on August 1st because, without this day off, Ian would probably be too busy working to even make this podcast.
