Hey zealots. Travis, Katie, and I have Ian Ira Rousso join us in the studio this week. He is about as inside baseball for LA comedy as one can get.

And he just performed is first hour in LA. I tell Ian just what I thought of it in this episode. In all honesty, Ian is an LA open mic icon. When I first arrived in LA to ...

Hey nerds. Boy, do I have a treat for you! The mighty Nick Linsmayer joins me to discuss his life in quarantine, his comedy thoughts, and his religious beliefs. Nick is just good people. He explains that he has always been interested in standup and had a bit of a external shock that pushed him into performing. We talk about so many interesting things, like the best airports in and around DC, the public transportation system in DC, and names I can't remember. He was raised religious, and still ho...
Hey nerds. This week, I am joined by Matt Bell and Nick Linsmayer (you may remember Nick from Episode 2-13). We talk about Matt's issues with flying and Nick's affinity for Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

We are blessed to have Michael Regilio join us this episode. We start the podcast with some very heartwarming stories of pets being put down. Michael is a great comic and prior rocker. He also grew up Catholic and very conservative. We discuss a bit of his journey away from Catholicism. We touch on politics, but mostly to commiserate about how we all have Priuses. This is Michael's second appearance on this podcast. Michael and I have a great discussion on this one and I encourage you to go back...

My apologies for the delay on this episode. I hit some technical difficulties and then the Holiday of Gluttony hit. I have finally buckled down and got this episode done though. This episode is one of my new favorites. I love this episode. Erin Tracy joins Travis and me for a fantastically honest conversation about her thoughts on religion and spirituality. She points out some very real and valid concerns she has with religion in general and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in par...

The wonderful Courtney Ciacco joins Travis and me for Disorganized Religion. I have known Courtney for some time now but we have not had a chance to just sit and visit until now. Courtney's dad was either a secret government agent or he actually worked for Coca-Cola Company. Courtney, like Rob, has battled with addiction and found a lot of support in AA. We discuss her thoughts on God given her positive experiences in AA. She also reveals she may just be desperate and gullible enough to join my ...

I am bringing back an old episode. This one takes us back to soon after the Pandemic forced LA into an apocalyptical lockdown. I met Michael Longfellow out on the scene in LA. Yes, he was amazing even way back then. After he and I met at a few mics/shows, he got onto NBC's Bring the Funny. Now look at him! He is great. Enjoy him in this blast from the past. Follow him on the socials at @longfellow_michael for the Gram and @Longfellowww for the Twitter.
Rob Pugliese joins Travis and me for this episode. We bemoan our positions as straight white men in the entertainment industry.

Rob is a fantastic comedian, one of the stars and creators of The Red Rob Roy Show, and a good friend of mine. You can catch The Red Rob Roy Show on Amazon Prime, Vimeo, and Tubi.

Here is Part 2 of the phenomenal conversation I had with Jeff Frame. This is where we get into more of the theological issues Jeff had with the Church. We chat about polygamy, the problematic "boys-club" mentality that can permeate religious institutions, and a couple questions Jeff had for me. I sincerely hope seeing Jeff and me talk about the Church when we have come to very different conclusions helps you. Jeff is a good person and a good friend and a good comedian. Go find him in Bozeman, Mo...

Jeff Frame joins Travis and me this week. This conversation was so long and heavy and good that I decided to make it into two episodes. I love these episodes. I hope you do, too. Jeff and I met during The World Series of Comedy 2021 season and have become good friends since that meeting in JR's Santa Clarita comedy club. The conversation I have with Jeff in this episode embodies a big reason I started this podcast. Take a listen and you should see why. Oh, and Travis and I have a surprise announ...

Kazeem is a good friend and a great comedian. He and I have a great chat about is upcoming wedding and Travis and I try to give him some advice about how to balance having a family while pursuing standup. This episode stays pretty heavy in the standup realm. I think it was a ploy for me to have him back...again...to talk more about religion next time. It's a great episode especially if you are at all interested about getting into standup. You can find Kazeem on social media at @kazeemcomedy. He ...
