David Whitney is a London-based actor and comedian. He helps run one of my favorite comedy clubs in the world, not an exaggeration, the Backyard Comedy Club in London. Turns out David went from Drama School, to getting booked to do stand-up in LA, only problem was, David had never done Stand-up. What? We go through it, buckle in for a wild creative journey!

Mary Houlihan is a comedian, writer, and artist. She’s the host of the Mary Houlihan Show and she paints live on Twitch. She had an interview with Martin Shkreli that I thought was hilarious and exposed and unmasked him.

Sara Kay Godot is an actress, comedian, and producer. Her and I have collaborated on an awful lot. She was in Loner, Left At Wall, and Termination Fee. Termination Fee began as a read through at a pizza place. It went on to do the Hollywood Fringe, sold out 60% of the run, got nominated for an award, and its film version is currently in post-production. Sara was a driving force behind all of that, so we’ve had quite a year.

Tim Warner is a comedian, podcaster, and filmmaker. Most importantly, though, he’s Tim Warner. I’ve known Tim for a long time. We did comedy together in Seattle when I was first starting out, he had been doing it in New York a few years prior. Tim released a short film on YouTube called Quitter. I loved it. It captured what I was trying to do in a short film we did (also on YouTube), Loner, but, at least in my opinion, didn’t quite capture. Quitter was done, exclusively, on a phone. We dive into it.

Chris Liatsis is an artist and illustrator. He is the other half of Lucy & Ron. I would write them, Chris would draw them. Lucy & Ron was a labor of love for us for a long time, out of necessity, it was an on-again off-again pursuit. At one point in our professional and personal relationship, I messed up. Fortunately, we were able to reconcile, and we revisit that time in this interview. This is an episode about friendship, collaboration, love, loss, art, and growing up Greek.

Andrew Saxena. You’ve heard that name before on this show, Andrew does the music for 1000. Andrew Saxena is a filmmaker, musician, actor, and podcaster. Andrew and I met a few years back in the lefty creator space in San Pedro. He was a huge part of Left At Wall, Frank Azurri, Termination Fee, and there’s another project we’re working on that has to do with cats. Also, we’ve become close friends over the past few years. We talk online media and young Andrew's escape from the Alex Jones cult, discovering punk rock in middle school, hanging out with David Lynch, CATS....This episode is everything that 1000 holds dear!

Jesse Case is a comedian, writer, and podcaster. Jesse’s one of the best comedians I know, and he’s a good friend. We spent our early comedy days in Seattle, Jesse went off to LA, and then, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in his late 20s. He documented the whole thing in a podcast series called Jesse vs. Cancer, it’s absolutely brilliant. His journey’s wild, and we go through it.

Steve Cerulli is an Italian-American Historian. Like Steve, I’m an Italian-American, too. The Italian-American identity seems to be very right-wing-presenting, at least in the mainstream. But, that is far from reality. Steve’s work has exposed why that is the case in the contemporary United States, the scam that is Columbus Day, and so much more. In a landscape where all of the most powerful Italian-American organizations are praising Trump, Steve is among the voices of opposition.

Leila Leigh is an actress, writer, and podcaster. We first met amidst the online Lefty Bernie Movement. She’s the co-host of one of my favorite Lefty YouTube Shows, PunchUp Pod. In addition to podcasting, she’s done a ton in the indie film space, some of it with her husband, Josh Stolberg, who was Episode 98.

Dave Chawner is a speaker, comedian, and anorexia survivor. I first met Dave at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival because we had a similar timeslot and our venues were near each other. I think most people don’t understand how anorexia works, or even what it actually is. I include myself in this. Well, I wanted to learn more...
