Funny people often overcome tragedy to bring humaneness to our everyday lives. Today's guest has done that and more! Emmy nominated comedian Patton Oswalt joins Kevin to talk about growing up as a military kid, falling in love with acting, and how they both ended up in entertainment. They are then joined by Ron Fitzsimmons, Executive Director of Alice's Kids - a non-profit focused on preserving the dignity of parents and giving kids the things they most desire though direct gifts.
