So glad to have Jim Florentine aboard. Jim & Jackie first met in 1999 on the set of “Rules For Men,” an indie film they use to torture terrorists. They also share having The Howard Stern Show on their resumes. Peter and Jim of course crossed paths all along the comedy circuits. All these years later Jim is still a very funny comic who works & kills everywhere. The memories just keep coming .. so many so similar, so many so far-flung. Ahh, show biz.

Occasional penis and old lady jokes. Some audiences may be offended if we're lucky.
