Show notes

Eric and prankster/comedian Steve-O (Jackass Forever) talk about the infamous story involving the Wu-Tang Clan at a music festival, including clean backflips, tucking in genitals and rightfully getting dragged by Raekwon on stage. Discussions include drugs and drinking problems on the set of Jackass, his early stages of doing stand-up, Laugh Factory stories, and one that involves catastrophically bombing on stage with a joke about Steve Irwin right after his passing. Plus, talking about being beaten up on stage, which eventually became a group fight among Calgary locals, and being interrogated by Canadian police about the incident years later. Of course, the discussion goes to stapling your balls. Keep setting the bar high!

Show notes

Eric and his pod-sister, Nikki Glaser (host of F-Boy Island on the CW), discuss the time she fainted on stage at Just for Laughs along with other embarrassing moments performing in front of audiences. Stories include a makeshift maxi-pad out of toilet paper, witnessing a bomb of the century from an Internet celebrity, when she surprised her boyfriend by disguising herself as a stripper, and Eric's tale of almost having the most awesome sex of his life. Let's just say a fried chicken sandwich ended up in the way.

I'll Set This F*ckin Place On Fire! w/ Nimesh Patel Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

Eric and good friend/comedian Nimesh Patel talk about doing stand-up at a Bernie Sanders political rally in Philadelphia. Let's just say it was not well received. Nimesh talks about witnessing a comedian whose anger came out in the form of threatening to light a theater on fire, witnessing a meltdown that can really change the mood of the show, and under the influence stories. Eric talks about his mushroom and molly trip while performing, and how maybe someday an ayahuasca set will happen! Also, Nimesh makes a whole family retaliate against him while he's on stage in D.C.

Hey Lady, Close Your Legs! w/ Dan Curry Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Eric and creative partner/man behind "Kraft Punk" Dan Curry reminisce about the days of doing rooms around NYC and the crazy shit they have seen and heard. They talk about a comic who was obsessed with the word "queef" and how the audience didn't vibe off of it at all, what it means to be good on stage versus online, drinking cultures in the US vs. Europe, and the obsession with numbers when it comes to pleasing a woman. It's all lies and completely cringe when you think about it.

He Starts a Joke a Third Time w/ Dulce Sloan Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

Eric and long-time friend Dulce Sloan talk about their time doing stand-up aka trauma bonding! She talks about a moment bombing at a sports bar and the expectation of audiences who dress up to go out. Scattered laughter makes your time on stage last an eternity, especially when no one is laughing at the right points of your joke. Think of it as a microwave running. Later they talk about Dulce's dating life and the worst bomb she witnessed. Let's just say, beer and shots deals are beautiful, but not when you say the same joke THREE. TIMES.
