Show notes

They've had one of the most successful syndicated radio shows in the country for the past 20 years. These two guys and their producer Luke, are one of the funniest and nicest guys I've worked in radio. We talk about their cool path to being a great radio team, how they've gotten in trouble in the past (it involves hookers and cops) and more. It's a hilarious interview. Theirs is the most fun, natural radio you will EVER hear. No bells or whistles or "wacky" bits. If they catch you doing a joke from your act you're dead meat. After you hear this you will want to be listeners of their show forever. This is a fun one people. Enjoy! Release Date - 01/09/17

Dave Attell Nov 21, 2016

Show notes

Comedian Dave Attell. Dave is a good friend and the most brilliant comedian working today. His brain needs to be put in the Smithsonian, probably best after he is dead, I think he needs it right now. People need to study how his mind works because there is no one more inventive, twisted, smart and funny than Dave. He is also a very nice human being and very supportive of other comics and someone with high ethical standards. We talk how Dave got started, growing up in Long Island, going to NYU, how he approaches his material and the state of stand up comedy right now. Dave doesn't do a lot of long-form interviews so this is a really special episode.

Rob Reiner. Legendary Director and Star of "All in the Family." What can I say, Rob is a hero of mine with credits to his name as a director including,"This is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride," "When Harry Met Sally," and "A Few Good Men." He was also one of the stars ("Meat Head") of the iconic sit-com, "All in the Family." We talk his storied career, his famous dad, Carl Reiner, working with greats like Billy Crystal and Tom Hanks, and his newest film, Being Charlie, which is a very personal one that he directs and his son wrote about his son's addiction and recovery. His son Nick joins me with Rob to discuss his harrowing life of drugs and what it was like making this film with his dad. We talk politics too, as Rob is a very active politically in the world of democratic politics. This is an wide-ranging, really fun, candid conversation with one of Hollywood's brilliant directors and comedy minds.
