On this episode of The Chuck Shute Show, Seattle stand-up comedian Andrew Rivers joins Chuck for an engaging and provocative conversation. Known for his hit Dry Bar Comedy special (2018), Andrew is set to launch his new YouTube special, "Hello Beautiful."

The episode kicks off with a dive into controversial topics, including politics, porn, and the Mormon practice of "soaking."

As the discussion unfolds, Andrew opens up about his father, radio veteran Bob Rivers, with whom he co-hosts the "Father/Son" podcast. He shares how his father's influence and exposure inspired him into comedy. Andrew also reflects on how his failures have shaped his career approach and personal growth.
