<p>Two interviews this week, starting off with <a href="https://www.preacherlawson.com/">Preacher Lawson</a>. Preacher talks being funny with his family, the pressures (or not) of appearing on America&#8217;s Got Talent, and what he learns touring the world as a famous comic. Plus, local hero <a href="https://www.instagram.com/joshadamszzz/">Josh Adams</a> reflects on his formative years in stand-up, tells harrowing stories from the road, and says the Detroit Pistons need just one lung to win the championship.
