In Episode 4 of Glory Daze, Johnny Manziel sits down with comedian and podcast legend Tom Segura for a wide-ranging conversation that dives into everything from his new Netflix series “Bad Thoughts,” to the long grind of becoming a stand-up comic. Tom shares how he got his start in comedy, the moments that shaped his career, and how years of hustling in small clubs eventually led to selling out arenas around the world.
He and Johnny swap stories about life on the road, chasing big dreams, and the unpredictable path of building a career in the spotlight.
The two also bond over their love of sports — from Florida State’s national championship to Tom’s take on the funniest athletes in the game. They talk about the crossover between comedy and sports, specifically college football.
Tom also reflects on the impact of his long-time friendship with Joe Rogan — how Rogan’s rise in comedy and podcasting helped shape a generation of storytellers and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the entertainment world.
