If you’ve ever wondered how comedy and healthcare collide, this episode has all the answers wrapped in wit and wisdom!
This week, Taquita is joined by comedian and real-life paramedic Ben Gonzalez shares how he once drove himself to the hospital thinking he was having a heart attack… but it turned out to be gas. From fielding medical emergencies to delivering punchlines, Ben’s story is filled with heart, hilarity, and honesty.
Known for his stand-up special “Fool Custody” and as the host of HBO’s “Entre Nos Part 2,” Ben brings his emergency room experience and single fatherhood journey to the mic with raw, comedic brilliance.
