Carmody Central Podcast

Shaun is an Arizona based comedian and we are recording in our high tech sound studio, aka Shaun's pick up truck in the parking lot of his job. We are talking about how lazy he is, weed edibles, his mom punching him in the stomach, growing up in AZ where you just light stuff on fire in the desert, because why not? He is super young so don't be alarmed when he said he started watching The Walking Dead when he was only 9... he's 15 now. Just kidding, he's a legal and willing adult and he consented to this recording. 

Caitlin O'Connor is probably the sweetest person to ever be on this podcast. Not only is she stunning, funny, and down to earth but she is killing it! She's been featured in Maxim and is one of the ArsenicTV girls. She talks about moving from LA to Pennsylvania, going to school in a small town and dealing with bullying. Also, she talks about her first job as a Disney Princess at Disneyland. We bond over our love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is also on top of her celebrity gossip and has updates on some of our favorite 90s stars. Finally, we talk about anonymous comments on the internet and how annoying trolls are. 

Choni Francis is back and he's been working with Blavity and Buzzfeed creating new content, and all those creative vibes have reached all the way to Carmody Central and created Carmody House. Coming to a youtube near you soon.  We are talking about everything, men, women, faithfulness, cheating, dating, dick size... um, those videos of guys getting kicked in the balls. Not something i would know about... anyway shit gets real as always with Choni and we have a hilarious chat. He's ready, I'm ready... We ready... for this podcast.

Such a huge topic to discuss, I needed to bring in my friend Will Saunders to shine some light on something white people have a hard time acknowledging. Racism in America on the systematic and individual levels. We are talking about the sugar coating of African American history to make it sound better in social studies class. Also, we are talking about calling someone the "R" word, how people do and say racist things but do not consider it to be racist. We talk about police brutality, pop culture, the Black Lives Matter movement, and Will even wanted to discuss the different type of white culture.  He also explains "whiteness" and "blackness" to me because we've all seen these words in the comments sections.

With the finale coming soon, we decided to recap the season so far. Dear friend Milo Eriksen, who is a fan of the show as well, joins to talk about this season's "super pack" of villains - here to get rich or let poor people die trying. The writers are going all out this season, every episode is more intense than the last and you have no idea what's next. (Edit: Sorry, original upload was cut short - Full Episode is now up)

Melissa Ximena Golebiowski is a Literary Publicist and owner of Lost Literati PR. Today we are discussing writing, the creative process, tips for setting time for your work and of course I must ask a professional publicists if she prefers self publishing or going the agent route. Loved reconnecting with my old NYC friend now a fellow LA Native, and naturally we discuss the difference between the coasts. 

Lauren Eisman is a Nutrition Trainer & Certified Detoxification Specialist, based out of LA. Founder of Clean Bodies©. She focuses on creating personalized diets for people looking to "go clean," or plant-based. She offers FaceTime grocery store trips that guide her clients through the supermarket and teach them what they should be getting.  We are talking about all types of fun topics, health, toxins, and natural alternatives to your fav supermarket items. Also, she believes in realistic diets... her goal is to help with a successful lifestyle change as opposed to a strict diet that you can only last 7 days. She says that occasional slice of pizza might be the difference between a lifetime of healthy eating or repressing your cravings until you abandon your diet and go on a junk food rampage.  Realistic and honest is the practical way!

Brian Lynch is back for his yearly check-in, we catch up on life and work. As usual we are in the same place in life. I talk about the NEW website that will have a lot more listening options. Then things get wild, Bumble date possible roofie story, whether the pope is good or evil, then progressively more drunk and more embarrassing discussions. At one point, I said I was going to post the podcast just like it is. So that's what I did, Brian is wasted by the end. I apologize in advance. 

It's going down in America and we recorded the shit show live. Mark Harley and Luana Harley join me in this moment in history. Mark is an independent voter and Luana is from Germany and not able to vote in the Election, but a Hillary supporter. I didn't vote, which probably pisses you off. But Chill we all live in California and Clinton won 55 electoral votes here. Listen as we go from joyful, to anxious, to disbelief, I stay in denial, Luana is pretty devastated, but we all need a moment for this to settle in. 

I've been wanting to get Erin Mallory Long on the Podcast for a while, she has some great youtube videos that I love.  Unfortunately, I introduce her worse than John Travolta presenting Indina Menzel at the Oscars. Look up Travolta Oscars Fail right now, you will thank me later.  Anyway, we are just some gals getting to know each other.  We talk about our names, growing up on the east coast, living in LA, anxiety, cats, dating apps, ahem - my recent break up (juicy haha) So make sure you check this one out.
