Winston has a new special out he put together himself called Grieving Productively. The special is about how he handled and the experience of his father's sudden death. It's a serious subject, but as the title is called it's about grieving productively and laughter is on of them. We talk about death a lot, our own, family and friends, we reference jokes in the special, we play a game about death, and still are able to talk about The Bachelorette!
