What does it take to really be funny—and stay funny—when the world keeps changing? In this episode of The Men of the House Podcast, we sit down with comedian Spencer Selio to explore the highs, lows, and hilarity of life in stand-up. From growing up as an only child in a liberal town within a conservative state, to navigating the evolving comedy scene across two presidential terms, Spencer shares how his background uniquely shaped his voice on stage.

We get serious about being funny—unpacking the truth behind bombing, the grind of writing material, and how resilience fuels a comic’s growth. Spencer also drops some unexpected wins you probably haven’t heard about. Whether you're chasing a creative dream or just curious about what makes comedians tick, this conversation offers laughs, insight, and a deeper look at the comedy hustle.

Tune in for a real talk on the art of stand-up and the mindset behind the mic.
