Greg Wayans joins Dam Internet, You Scary! for one of his most honest interviews yet.

He talks about growing up in the legendary Wayans family, why having the Wayans name doesn't guarantee success, auditioning for over 16 years, working as a body double, performing stand-up for the first time, and the work ethic it really takes to survive in Hollywood.

Then the conversation goes completely off the rails with dating stories, relationship advice, bizarre gifts, time travel debates, and some of the wildest internet stories we've covered—including a drunk driver destroying an entire parking lot, an Amazon driver accused of stealing a cat, a donated body ending up in military explosion testing, and a decades-old horse betting prediction that actually came true.

If you enjoy hilarious conversations mixed with unbelievable internet news, you're in the right place.
