Over a plate of roasted rib, neck, and leg meat dripping with rich consomme at Birria El Jalisciense, host Jesus Trejo gets deep with Maron about coming up in the Comedy Store, being name dropped on Marc's WTF podcast, what it takes to stand out as a performer, and how to stay hopeful in a world that constantly cuts you down to size.
