Political ramblings from Day and Ed veer into unending laughs as the duo jumpstart their latest podcast from the very first moment. With comedian and self-named social vigilante Krish Mohan as guest, the Drinking Partners explore the roles that philosophy and belief play in stand-up comedy. On stage since he was a teen, Mr. Mohan explains the effect his Indian heritage has played in creating his identity as a comic. Host and creator of Fork Full of Noodles, a weekly, satirical web series, Krish has no problem keeping up with the Drinking Partners when the political banter disappears and a playfully wicked and personal conversation about dating ensues. Toward the end of the podcast, the trio settles into a discussion about professional mentors and influences, such as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Chris Rock. In the final minutes of the interview, the group reexamines the intersection between comedy and social change, with Mr. Mohan stating, “Being on stage gives me the opportunity to talk about whatever I want … and bring my perspective.” For more from Krish Mohan, tune into his new podcast, Taboo Table Talk.
