Episode 74: Erwin Portillo, Rob Banks, Ryan Sweeney, and Naval Officer Pat
This week I hang with Erwin Portillo, Rob Banks, Ryan Sweeney, and Naval Officer Pat. We talk the importance of truth in art and the risks of controversy, Erwin tells us why comics are terrible people and the business of art, Rob talks about his decision between moving to LA or New York and loving the freedom of comedy, Ryan identifies the benefits of taking offense and fostering conversation, and I complain about comedy critics who can’t tell the difference between “funny” and “statement I agree with.”
Episode 72: BFF’s Volume 7
This week I sat down with Brad Hartland, Ryan Sweeney, Rob Banks, and Dan Ciarrocchi. We talk social politics, the reasons why musicians are horrible people, hipster fantasy football players, I ask Brad what he’s doing with his life, and we institute a policy where anytime someone wants to insult Ryan they have to compliment him instead.
Follow Brad on Twitter, Ryan on Twitter, Rob on Twitter, and check out Dan’s band!
Episode 68: Rob Banks
In this episode I spoke with LA comic Rob Banks about doing open mics in LA, growing up on a farm, cocky feature comics, working as a background actor, and he educates me about getting “belligerent” at country concerts.
