Killer stand up comedian, actor & lifelong rock n roller Dean Delray joins the podcast this week! If you're a rock or comedy enthusiast, you won't want to miss this conversation. Dean has been podcasting for the past 12 years on his great show 'Let There Be Talk, which you'll want to be sure to check out if you haven't already. Dean & Jay Jay get into all things comedy & music - discussing parallels between the two as they share insight into their creative processes surrounding the both. They chat about everything from favorite albums & deepest influences, to underrated bands & stories from sharing the stage with Bill Burr on tour over the past year and a half.

Dean gets into stories from seeing Twisted over the years all the way back to their early recording days, & why he was inspired by Twisted's recent documentary, relating their story to his journey in comedy & discussing the importance of tenacity & not ever letting go of your dreams.

This is only part 1 of their conversation - tune in next week to hear part II when Dean digs even deeper into the world of comedy.
