Mike Safo with James Murray "Mur"

Joined today by the comedic genius “Mur” from Impractical Jokers, also known as “author” James Murray. We pick up right where Opie’s podcast leaves off, James leaving his personal items in a bar and how I had to rescue him on his date. Mur and I talk about being raised on Staten Island, what we miss most about it and how we both tried to pick up girls the same way growing up. We discuss his new Sci-Fi Thriller book “Awakened”, how it took 14 years to get published, the idea of making the book into a movie and we find out if he’s finally started to write book # 2. James tells us some stories about the personalized videos he sends to fans and then I open up and tell him why Impractical Jokers means way more than laughs to my family. We find out if the boys are still having fun working together, if there is real beef with Mur and Sal and we touch a little bit about the upcoming IJ movie! From hearing how Mur landed a role in Private Parts to who he thinks actually wrote the Bible (hint: Herman Melville), James Murray brings his A plus hilarity to my show.
