David Green is the drummer and one of three songwriters that make up the Los Angeles punk trio Moonraker who you can see touring and playing festivals all over the country. In this episode, we bicker about Sublime and lasting legacy, how Green Day and Weezer narrowly avoided fading to irrelevance in the early 2000's to become some of the longest running and most successful alternative bands of all time, how awful Rick & Morty fans are, the brilliance of BoJack Horseman, how How I Met Your Mother might have been a victim of its own longevity, how underrated Lagwagon's Hang is, RKL, and so much more. I even get into my top 5 best bands from the Los Angeles area. The answer may surprise you! Dave even gets into a silly tour ritual of his. Why not give Moonraker a listen?

Timothy Paul McCray is more than just a comedian who I only met recently at our many nights at the now defunct Def Noodles Comedy Club. He is also more than a great effing joke writer who has slowly been getting on people's radars in this town (You can see him on Live In The Belly Room at The Comedy Store, Wednesday 6/5, 7:30PM by the way!) To put it simply, Timothy Paul McCray is legitimately one of my best friends in comedy, coproducer of The 32 Special, a comedy show that takes placeevery Monday at Ireland's 32 in Valley Glen, and a like me, a trueblue New Yorker!

Rhys Foulke is an LA-based comedian originally from Charleston, SC. Catch Ryhs in LA and in Charleston sometime. He's only been at it for a few years but I genuinely love watching work and I seeing him grow as a comic. We discuss plagiarism, parallel thought, how over-glorified weed is, substance abuse, mental health, love, empathy, happiness, rooting for everyone to succeed, focusing on you in the wake of your peers' successes, Vegemite, how underrated of a comedy scene the West Side has, and a whole bunch more. This episode was recorded the day disgraced YouTuber "Def Noodles" copy and pasted my listing of mics in LA which yes, IS plagiarism (and not the first time he's done similar things), so naturally we make fun of him but spared no energy making fun of all of the YouTubers who go after him. Most of it was pretty playful. In the month since recording this episode, a crazier story unfolded that ultimately resulting in him discontinuing virtually all operations at Def Noodles Comedy Club. I'm not going to get into that publicly, but in my eyes, all of those YouTubers are heroes to the LA comedy scene (Special shoutout to Moist Cr1TiKaL and SunnyV2). (I know, some juicy shit right here!)

Originally from Boston, Chris Keene is an incredibly bright, incredibly funny, snarky comedian with a point of view. You can see Chris performing live all over the American Southwest. In this episode, we give deep into the progress and regress of racism in America in the tech age, the tech model as well as its evolution since the days of AOL, the Barbie movie, and a whole bunch more. I was saddened to learn the SD card on my Rodecaster was about to fill up cutting this episode 15 minutes shorter than I originally intented, but I do plan on having him back. Chris is a one of a kind voice and I hope you can get down with him.

Kayla Esmond is more than just the birthday girl who made 60 of those delicious deviled eggs as heard about on my debut comedy album titled Sorry Again (neat!). She is an LA-based stand-up comedian, actress and acting teacher originally hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas who features and emcees regularly at the Little Rock Looney Bin and at clubs all over the country. This episode, we get into the changing public perception to as what is good art over the decades, the underrated service of emceeing to newer comedians, what makes a good emcee, how low streaming residuals could effect the starving artist's ability to produce good art, deaf culture, law, capitalism, the struggling film economy, why it's wrong for casting directors to be shitty to child actors on set, abortion, and a whole bunch more.

Halfway to 100! Evan Warner is an LA-based stand-up comedian from Hawaii who you can see doing weekends regularly at the HaHa Cafe in North Hollywood. We discussed the shift in gatekeeping power in TV, film, and even comedy from both the lower barrier of entry to produce content, the differences in lifestyle between LA/NYC and Middle America that leads to different viewing habits, how mind-blowingly impressive the production value of live entertainment is; from the guitar and base techs, to the lighting people, all he way down to the guy whose job it is to fund a stage banner literally the size of a house. We discussed the economics of live comedy, breaking down to everything from ticket sales of comedy's biggest names, all the way down to comedy in a market like LA. For you LA comics you've been listening, which is a bunch of people, we also debated the ethics of slotted mics/pay-to-play, and whether or not the service you provide to clubs and shows is the skilled labor of live comedy or the tickets/drinks you're selling.

Eric Wielo is an LA-based comedian and writer who wrote and appeared on Conan on TBS, and you can currently see on Up & Adam's on Max, as well as performing regularly at The Milwaukee Improv, as well as headlining and featuring over the country! In this episode, we continue the discussion Jay Light helped to start about spot pay for features and emcees in clubs around America, some of the bad habits that have gone on in the industry even post #MeToo, and our strange story of how we became friends when he helped reopen The World-Famous Hollywood Improv by hosting mics on their patio with names who I promise you will know, as well as the headliners doing their first sets in a year and a half. I get into my brief story of getting to follow Orny Adams on that patio which if you know anything about this business, I don't know if that'll ever happen again. We also discuss some of the events and politics of today, and so much more!

Ryan Lichten is a podcaster and musician originally hailing from the fine city of Valencia! Ryan hosts two podcasts that have made some waves; Podcast 99 (for all you Woodstock 99 fans!) and The Culture Dumps Podcasts. This episode starts strong with AIDS but we get into everything. We walk Sublime, punk music, our favorite bands as of late, the significance of Tony Hawk's soundtracks, Goldfinger, Primus, Jackass, Southpark, why Ryan isn't the biggest fan of ska, and so much more! Ryan also gets into his theory to as why rock music hasn't been doing so hot commercially. Trust me, it's a good one that speaks volumes to where we're at as a society socially. Oh and good news, the issues with the cameras overheating from the last three episodes have officially been resolved. Nice!

Kim McVicar is a Canadian-born stand-up comedian who you can literally see all over America right now. You can see her at The World-Famous Hollywood Improv on Melrose as well as Levity clubs around the southwest. She also has her third special titled Female Comedian, out now on Amazon Prime and wherever else Comedy Dynamics distributes their specials. Some explaining to do here. This episode was recorded on what was the first warm day of the year in LA. Because of it, the cameras kept overheating. At one point, I attempted to correct everything by unplugging the power strip. That ended up erasing the first 20 minutes of the episode (lol). The good news is, though YouTube tutorials, I figured out how to keep this from happening going forward. That isn't to say this episode didn't suffer. This is a relatively quick, mostly audio-only episode. It's a fun one, definitely was frustrated the whole time cause this was the first episode with the multi-cam setup that crapped out on me like this.

Josh Florhaug is a stand-up comedian/actor/good ol' midwestern boy from the fine city of Minneapolis who features and headlines all over the country. You might have seen him in a Little Caesar's commercial that's been making its rounds during the NFL playoffs and then some. Last time he was on the podcast, I forgot to record video which as you can tell from the beginning of this episode, almost happened again! Fun talk. We discuss about our all-time favorite pilots, White Castle, finding love, a little bit of the story behind the infamous Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain from my debut comedy album Sorry Again, the great city of Las Vegas, all of the amazing bands from Minneapolis, the continued fragmentation of the market for TV shows and movies in the streaming era, network television's imminent death, laughably low residuals in he streaming era for comedy albums and specials, low wages on the road and so much more!

Jay Light is a comedian and television writer originally hailing from the fine city of Dallas. He has written for a long list of TV shows. You can see Jay perform all over the country, including regularly at The World-Famous Hollywood Improv. He also hosts WRONG! A Dark Comedy Game Show which you can see in a city near you! A lot was discussed in this episode. Normally when I go into producing these, I have a vague idea of where it could go. This conversation pivoted quickly into a passionate discussion was Jay Light's argument to as why both comedians and industry would benefit from having a stand-up comedy union (a conversation I did not expect to have but boy am I glad we did!). We discuss how wages for features and headliners have remained the same literally since 1979 not adjusting for inflation one bit, how normalized it is for producers in LA to not pay comedians for ticketed shows with item minimums, the power of collective bargaining, the disappearing stand-up comedy middle class, a fairly recent and successful strike to get wages increased for club performers and emcees in New York City, and a lot more on the matter. I record these episodes on average a month before they are released, and let me tell you, they have shapped every discussion I've had with comedians going forward. Believe it or not, many of my peers have felt similar frustrations. That being said, Jay Light is smart, opinionated, fearless, and frankly, one of the most punk rock people I know in comedy. He is also an artist by every definition of the term and I've enjoyed watching him develop from when we first met. (which incidentally, I met him when he hosted a Potluck when he was a door guy at The World-Famous Comedy Store once-upon-a-time ago and we talk about that too!) We also talk about the power of taking risks industry are reluctant to take on creatives, the importance of giving back, the power of community, what community did for the Roast Battle, really why comics should always be writing and how so many have no idea how to write jokes yet, the difference between art and commerce in the social media era, and so much more!

I can write an encyclopedia on how Serafina's Wednesday afternoon open mic at Cinema Bar on LA's Westside is one of the best places to work on your stuff in LA (for all you LA comics who've been listening to the podcast), but I got a lot of ground to cover here. Serafina Costanza is a Davis, CA born/LA-based comedian who you can see performing regularly at Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica and all up and down the California coast. She also produces The Shack Show, second Wednesday of every month at The Shack in Playa Del Vista.I've done the show twice. Not only is it fun, but The Shack has a damned good burger! In this episode, we talk about going to punk shows, Coachella, vices, quitting smoking (which I recently did myself), Sublime, Sublime With Rome, LA weed, casinos, and so much more!
