This one was shot in my hometown, Los Angeles, and in this time I talk a lot more about my son, and a lot more stories about my Mom, the two things I really like to talk about. My first one was "Don't Make 'Em Angry" and this one I'm most excited about. Jo Koy: It's my second one! My second hour special.
