Loving Sneakerheads From Afar with Mandal | My First Kicks Podcast Ep. 255

This week I am joined by the hilarious Mandal, we talk about the shoes he absolutely needed to have. Wearing them to school and the moment he knew something wasn't right. How comedy found him and what it was like to do comedy. Why he loves Times Square and what are some wild things about New York. What it was like growing up in Atlanta and much much more!
