Sometimes springtime is too cheery, so I decided to invite my pal, star of Netflix's "Atypical" and podcast king Michael Rapaport over to the bunker to smack talk some "Touchy Subjects". Then he sticks around for a great interview about podcasting, acting with Woody Allen, and why he thinks Trump is going to win again. We start the show with a special birthday shout out to Queen Elizabeth and it ends with a "'Roast in Peace" tribute to the legend Prince who passed away three years ago this week.

It's almost Easter and Passover so I invited God over to the bunker to chat about the fire at Notre Dame and other "Touchy Subjects".  Then my friend and legendary funny person Fred Willard also stops by to chat about his appearance on my upcoming Netflix series, "Historical Roasts" among other things. And God isn't the only one who acts in mysterious ways. My pal master magician Bernie Shine performs some amazing audio magic. Hearing is believing.  It all ends with a "Roast in Peace" of a rhino poacher who was killed by an elephant and got eaten by lions.  Life is hard.

I was recently invited by The President to the White House for a reception celebrating the passing of The First Step Act.  It was an emotional event commemorating the early release of many non-violent criminals who were sent away for decades after being given unfair sentences.  One of those people, a guy named Troy Powell calls into the podcast to tell us what it was like to go from wearing a prison jumpsuit in the big house last month to standing on stage with the President in the East Room of the White House.   We also talk to Louis L. Reed, who is the National Organizer of a criminal justice reform advocacy group called #Cut50.  But the whole show kicks off with a “Roast In Peace” tribute to the great Nipsy Hussell.  Life is tough. We’re getting through it together.  Additional Material: Ed Larson Kevin Schini  Make sure to send your feedback to thickskinwithjeffross@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @thickskinwithjeffross @therealjeffreyross @eddietunes @troy.powell @heinspires4real

Comedy Central Roast fans all remember the hilariously ruthless Greg Giraldo who skewered Flava Flav, David Hasselhoff, Pam Anderson, Larry The Cable Guy and others.  Greg passed away nine years ago and there’s a new biography “Greg Giraldo: A Comedian’s Story” coming out (https://amzn.to/2I3eUnR) so I had the co-author Matt Balaker over to tell us all about it.  Also joining us is Greg Giraldo’s dear pal and roast writing partner Jesse Joyce.  It was fun and cathartic to reminisce about Greg and hear some of his classic jokes again.  We also weaved in some “Touchy Subjects” about Jussie Smullet and Cardi B.     Joining us:  Jasmine Leigh Jesse Joyce Ed Larson Matt Balaker    Make sure to send feedback to thickskinwithjeffross@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @thickskinwithjeffross @therealjeffreyross @eddietunes @realjasmineleigh @jessejoyce1    Additional material Ed Larson Kevin Schini
