In this candid, must-watch episode of Drink Champs, comedian and storyteller Mo Amer sits down with the champs for a no-holds-barred conversation that blends humor, heart, and insight. Across the table — drinks in hand — Mo reveals the journey behind his rise to fame, from grassroots comedy clubs to building his authentic voice in a world that often demands compromise.

He’s funny, raw, and refreshingly honest — taking the listeners behind the curtain of his success and setbacks. The episode doesn’t shy away from tough questions: What happens when being funny isn’t enough? How do you reconcile satire and sincerity in a divided world? And can comedy offer solace while still demanding accountability?
