Mitchell Fain was born a natural storyteller. He is an incredible actor/comedian/circus performer who grew up in a Jewish home in Rhode Island and now lives in Chicago.

In this episode, we will talk about how his bingo-gambling mother never cleaned her stove, lived on Winston cigarettes and Oreo cookies, and taught her children to lie to the electric company when bills were due. She also married an alcoholic, Mitchell’s father.

We will talk about how his mother lived with undiagnosed depression for most of her life, and how everything wrong with us IS our parent’s fault … but it is OUR responsibility to fix it.

Oh, and Katharine Hepburn will make an appearance as well!
