Bob rants about a horrible podcast interview with a well known comic he won't post, Monster Energy Drink Deaths, eating wings, going to the Renaissance Fest, watching and playing rugby, the NFL, Marcus Lattimore's gruesome knee injury, Frank Caliendo on ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown, and that stupid Eddie Money GEICO commercial.

From the green room of the Houston Improv I talk with international comedy superstar Sugar Sammy.  Sammy is a Canadian, comedic tour de force who performs in English, French, Punjabi, and Hindi to sold out audiences the world over.  Sammy talks of his comedic origins, his made it moment and what its like performing in different languages and different countries.

From the Comedy Cave in Calgary, AB Canada I speak with Canadian comic Terry Hollas.  Terry is the "comedy consultant" and house emcee for the Comedy Cave.  We discuss his past in radio, comedy in Grand Prarie, the history of the Cave, and the differences in US and Canadian comedy.  Special intro by acting icon Peter O'Toole

From the Houston Improv greenroom I talk with Dallas based comedian Aaron Aryanpur.  We talk of the Dallas comedy scene, how he bailed on the 1st Annual Moontower Comedy Festival to watch the birth of his son, paying it forward, Last Comic Standing, and other stuff.  You can hear Maz Jobrani in the background on stage.  Special Introduction by acting icon Michael Douglas.

In this very special episode Bob is by himself.  He discusses farting, lawn work, Strike Back, Andy Sidaris films, watching new TV pilots on the internet early, Resident Evil 6, Mike Birbiglia's SleepWalk With Me, and he reads his latest tweets.  It's only a half hour episode so have a listen and get off my sack.

This one is fun.  In Austin I sit down with one of my best friends, Mike MacRae.  Mike is a comedian who does some great impressions like Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, and Vince Vaughn.  He's been seen on David Letterman, Comedy Central, NESN's Comedy All-Stars, the Bob and Tom Show, and was a cast member on the TBS show Frank TV.  Mike and I reminisce about the old Houston Laff Stop days and what it was like from '98-04 in the Houston comedy scene.  Mike also drops his newest impression of me and I debut my new podcast theme song enjoy! 

From the world famous Bob and Tom radio show I talk to Donnie Baker.  Donnie has been calling in to Bob and Tom for over 7 years and is one of the most popular contributors to the show.  Donnie is a man among boys when it comes to telling it like it is.  He's a true renaissance man in that he's a comedian, musician, and chick magnet.  I hope you enjoy this interview with Donnie as much as I enjoyed talking to him.

In the cafe at Whole Foods I talk with Houston comic Matthew Broussard.  With only a year under his comedy belt, Matthew won the Funniest Person in Houston contest and the Houston Improv's Stand-Up Stand-off competition.  While Matthew eats a smelly noodle bowl that he brought from home we talk about his comedy goals, his Jewness, Monday Punday, and I offer him plenty of advice.
