Think Again – a Big Think Podcast

26. Ian Edwards (Comedian) – Sex/Guns/Honesty is Honesty

“How would you control yourself if you knew you were one of the only five people to have guns? You would be an asshole!” –– Ian Edwards

This week, comedian [Ian Edwards][1], fresh off the release of his album 100% Half-Assed (on Conan O’Brian’s Team Coco Records) talks guns, sex, and laughs with host [Jason Gots][2], and stuns him into silence for a full three seconds (which was heretofore believed to be impossible).
