Viral Cheer Dad, Latin Teacher & Full-Time Comedian: Jay Yoder Origin Story

He started comedy at 38, made $7 at his first show, framed it, and now women are running across ESPN Wide World of Sports screaming his name for a photo. Jay Yoder is that guy.

Chelsea Turano and Dr. Lindsay sit down with comedian, viral cheer dad, former Latin teacher, and all-around big deal Jay Yoder for a conversation that covers everything. 

-How he quit teaching after 21 years when the school refused to give him six days off

-How a merch table rant at Cheer Nationals turned into 60,000 followers

-Why his daughter Alicia, who is autistic, writes most of his best material without even trying

They get into the ugly side of female comedy (being told to look uglier on stage), why retarded jokes are lazy and not funny, naked comedy shows in New York, the Venmo-first approach to hecklers, edibles at Red Rocks, Gilmore Girls in a haunted Indiana hotel, and why the universe starts delivering the second you stop making excuses.

Also, his daughter's response to "if all your friends jumped off a bridge" is genuinely unwritable.
