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 Buddy Lewis, legendary writer, actor, and stand-up comedian, who shares the story of a freak accident that led to surgery on his finger, and how he handled it with humor, calm, and clarity. From hospital moments to dating profile chaos, Buddy breaks down how life experiences shape comedy, confidence, and craft. We also talk about dating apps, modern relationships, creative longevity, and what it really means to be an OG in comedy who’s still evolving. This episode is funny, reflective, and packed with wisdom from someone who’s been writing, performing, and working at the highest level for years.
