Alysia takes a break after winning “America’s Next Funniest” to talk with the boys in the man cave about:

• Growing up growing up dirt poor in Bellevue
• [Clip] Being an abortionist’s daughter in Louisiana’s private Christian schools shortly after integration and the transition from Louisiana’s public schools (2^nd worst in the US) to Washington’s (2^nd best)
• Getting a “late start” in comedy at 21 years old, her first time on stage and how it changed her path in life
• The turf war between the Comedy Underground and Giggles Comedy Club and how being an emcee at the Comedy Underground gave her a head start
• How comedy took her from Seattle to New Jersey [clip] then Kentucky and eventually Los Angeles
• Performing in the college market for audiences that are more educated than she is
• How she ended up on Last Comic Standing and what a celebrity judge told her the year she didn’t make the cut
• Why losing is great and the whirlwind story of winning “America’s Next Funniest” (and being out of her mind, live on the Vegas news)
• The crew asks her to explain the “Bio-Terrorism Training” credit on her resume
• Being a guest columnist on http://www.StupidAssQuestions.com
• Lastly, she answers the podcast’s famous big ten questions (favorite food, first car [clip], first paid job, favorite sports team, favorite tool, first CD or album purchased, favorite TV show, last movie watched [clip], last concert attended, favorite drink, favorite place in the northwest)
