Jason Mewes on fatherhood and his new podcast Father's Day

Jon Garcia

Hello all you Lasso fans! Today is a much different kind of interview. Craig and Jeremy had the chance recently to speak with Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks) about his new podcast with Kevin Smith, Father's Day. Once we found out that Jason was also a Ted Lasso fan it seemed like a perfect fit to have him on the show. In this episode you get more Dad talk then we've been able to have in any previous episode of PB&B. We also discuss what Jason does for his own mental health, and that leads to a very happy discussion of Lego.

In addition to the main interview, at the end of the episode you'll hear an interview Craig was able to of with Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson about the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of Clerks 3.

Craig McFarland has been podcasting for over a decade as part of The Front Row Network. He’s the co-host of Beyond the Mouse, a Disney-focused podcast, and Peanut Butter and Biscuits, a show dedicated to all things Ted Lasso. Over the years, Craig has interviewed a wide range of guests, including Oscar winners, Olympians, acclaimed creators, actors, and more than a dozen Disney Legends.
Jeremy is the creator and Editor-In-Chief of the Front Row Network. He also hosts Network show "Are You Afraid of the Podcast?" with his wife Sara Baltusevich.
