Ep 138 - Back From Hiatus

Ep 138 - Back From Hiatus

"Hiatus" is a strong word for not being able to figure out a new computer transition. First few minutes is rough but sound balances out about 5 minutes in when I'm talking about Gorbachev.

More Americans are realizing mainstream media is not your friend and not getting it done when it comes to the conflict in the Middle East.

Ep 136 - Canceled In the Caribbean

Ep 136 - Canceled In the Caribbean

Had some gigs cancel out on me but I'm quite relieved. Older whites are not my audience so they're pretty much like everyone else. Not sure if there's any group I haven't turned off yet.

Ep 135 - Colonoscopy

Ep 135 - Colonoscopy

Every 135 episodes I like to get a colonoscopy. This was my first time and it's really educational to be vulnerable. It's necessary. Hope more people go early enough.

Ep 125 - The Art of Making It Work

Ep 125 - The Art of Making It Work

I discuss the art of making an art from work and how that in itself is an art. Why some acts really take off and others exist in squalor.

Aug 22, 202337:08
Ep 124 - Key West

Ep 124 - Key West

Had to run ashore in Miami to post this. Ship WiFi for uploading MP3 is spotty at best. Posting this from Black Market in Miami. A great bar/restaurant in the port area of Bayside. Whatever. Messi's in town.

Aug 13, 202331:07

Ep 122 - Return To Sea

About to leave Miami for a couple weeks of cruising and shows aboard the Virgin Voyage Mayan Sol. Nervous about new material. Trying to play it too safe. Things don't go wrong, they just go!

After 50 years, trying not to be passive and let life just happen to me anymore.

Jan 17, 202332:36
Ep 111 - Year Wrap, Year Launch

Ep 111 - Year Wrap, Year Launch

Back from 2.5 months of cruise ship work. Great experiences but I def didn't get better at stand up. I don't know why I obsess, cause the cruise ship and booking agency don't give a rip. 

Jan 09, 202332:39
Ep 110 - Re-entry

Ep 110 - Re-entry

When we leave home for travel, we build ourselves up and are somewhat ready for the blows of travel. When returning, we often have our guard down and think we'll just slide right back into regular life as if we're the same person. We're not. Re-entry can be rough. Whether it's travel, school, war, etc.

Dec 28, 202240:03
Ep 109 - It's a Small World

Ep 109 - It's a Small World

I have no idea what this episode's about. Or any of them.

Dec 22, 202241:54
Ep 108 - The Lull

Ep 108 - The Lull

Being out for 6 weeks is a long time no matter which way you slice it. Even on a luxury cruise ship you can get cabin fever, in your own head and def get stir crazy. 

Dec 12, 202230:56
Ep 107 - Tonga to Australia

Ep 107 - Tonga to Australia

Felt like I was on another planet in another time. Maybe 1700's? 

Dec 05, 202232:12
Ep 106 - Tonga

Ep 106 - Tonga

Never thought I'd be in Tonga, but a beautiful island with resilient people. Volcano and tsunami rocked their kingdom earlier this year. 

Dec 01, 202234:24
Ep 105 - Cozumel & Jamaica

Ep 105 - Cozumel & Jamaica

Island hopping in the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. So much history. Just a collision of cultures. 

Nov 28, 202235:31
Ep 104 - Caribbean Keane

Ep 104 - Caribbean Keane

Hanging with Billy Ocean in the Caribbean. The last thing these happy people need is comedy. 

Nov 28, 202233:56
Ep 103 - Miami Rotation

Ep 103 - Miami Rotation

First week down in Miami. I'm very out of sorts. Hope something here makes sense. Cruise life is a trip. Lit and fig. World of fantasia, but can also be nightmarish if you let your mind wander too much. Gotta stay centered. 

Oct 31, 202241:54
Ep 102 - Seaward Bound

Ep 102 - Seaward Bound

Hitting the water for six weeks. Miami and then Australia. Freedom and independence? Or isolation? 

Oct 14, 202238:22
Ep 101 - Holding Material Up on a Pedestal

Ep 101 - Holding Material Up on a Pedestal

Wiped out after several parties celebrating my 50th. Serotonin depleted. Moving forward, trying to initiate ideas more than just keeping them on a pedestal.

Oct 04, 202231:59
Ep 100 - Turning 50 and 100

Ep 100 - Turning 50 and 100

Finally turning 50 this week. I think I'm okay with it. If I'm not I'm sure nature will turn time back for me so I can be ready. Country club gigs remain a nightmare. Feels good to get to 100 episodes. We'll have a 100 episode party on Saturday at Bistro K. 

Sep 26, 202234:15
Ep 99 - Making Too Many People Happy

Ep 99 - Making Too Many People Happy

Got caught in a double booking situation this week where my decision left me nauseous. Alaska cruise was amazing. Really enjoying stand up these days. 

Sep 19, 202235:07
Ep 98 - Show Potpourri

Ep 98 - Show Potpourri

All over the place once again. Shows, travel, experiences. Finished shooting pilot this weekend in Austin. Shows in very different atmospheres all week. Americans seem to be welcoming stand up like never before in the search of something more real than networks can offer.

Sep 12, 202234:60
Ep 97 - America's Got Talent

Ep 97 - America's Got Talent

Got to open for Don McMillan of America's Got Talent this weekend at Brea Improv. Just a great comic. So interesting to watch someone who's figured it out. He stayed in the game.

Sep 05, 202232:37
Ep 96 - All Over The Place

Ep 96 - All Over The Place

I cover pre-season football and my own family's glory of co-ed softball prominence lead by my mother's tutelage and love. 

Aug 30, 202234:41
Ep 95 - Double Life

Ep 95 - Double Life

Been slammed but that's no excuse. Somehow juggling day job and busier stand up career. 

Aug 22, 202230:29
Ep 94 - Back From the High Seas

Ep 94 - Back From the High Seas

Back on a cruise ship after 2.5 years felt amazing. Got seasick but learned a lot about myself. Cruises are fun overall but shows are really difficult. Love the travel though. Have your head examined for reading this. 

Jul 11, 202232:30
Ep 93 - Cruisin' Again

Ep 93 - Cruisin' Again

Going back out on a cruise ship for first time since pandemic. Nervous AF about doing a longer show for first time in a long time. Just got to lean into it and be present.

Ep 92 - David Spade

Last minute gig with David Spade last night in San Diego at the Balboa Theatre was a blast. Hope to work with he and Bobby Miyamoto again.
