First of all, I get to apologize to Mamoudou for something I have done to him MANY times. 

We also get into the importance Vitamin D (shoutout Saurin Choksi), we pitch an “IBS Lives Matter” movie made by Ava DuVernay, our love for Tropicana Orange Juice, feeling disconnected from the new generation already, our hype up songs and how we are at our parties.

Mamoudou’s story involves his growth in learning when to take criticism, and how to understand when the criticism is useful and when other people are just trying to insert themselves into his own work. He speaks on not letting the process of getting a project made weather you down or cause you to give up hope.

We talk about staying grounded in a world surrounded by other creative people who live in their own world, maintaining friendships with people outside of our fields, and keeping a relationship with who and what we are.

Prophetically, We talk about how ready we are in the face of an emergency, specifically, how I lack the skills to save myself or any other lives in an emergency!

We get a repeat question from Irene’s episode from the person going to a party where their Ex is, but the conversation is different here and I think that’s a fun and exciting way to show how everybody’s POV brings something different to the table!

This week I sit down with one of the heaviest hitters in the game, one of my favorite people in the world, Petey DeAbreau. We hit the ground running, hittin' you with everything from freestyles, to jokie-jokes, to chip crunches on the mic. I really can't say much else that would prepare you for the ~immersive experience~ that is this episode. I really had such a great time recording with Petey because he's one those guys with whom you just never know what you're going to get, the only thing you know for sure is that you're going to have a real good time and laugh your booty off. And that's exactly what we did, and I'd venture to say I even learned a thing or three. Enjoy!

Martin and I start the video by smoking crystal meth on the mic, an ode to our lord and savior Elon Musk. 

We start out talking about my lack of ability to be a competent employee, and how Martin enjoyed his time working at the Target Cafe (You know, that spot in Target that sells Popcorn and personal pizzas). Martin pitches me a spin-off podcast about poop after hearing about my ongoing war with IBS.

Martin stops me from doing a Bill Cosby impression before we get into the kind of friends we each had growing up, and how that shapes who we are today.

We touch upon the pressures and stress that comes with living the life we chose. The late nights, the weird hours, the people, and how we work our lives around those circumstances 

Martin's story involves him getting into a situation where he told a joke that hurt someone’s feelings when he first started out, followed by (a real gift!) a SECOND story where he went for another shock value joke that ended up not only costing him a show but also hurting his reputation and it cost him to be a little scared of performing for a while

This brings us to talk about the risk that it accompanies trying out new material and attempting to approach the line, but not cross it

Overall, we have a really good discussion on what it means to be the man with the microphone in the room.

In our first ever episode, Irene starts us off strong with a personal story of being born with Spinal Meningitis, and of how her Cuban mother tried to fix it by offering her to the virgin of miraculous miracles.

All that to say...it’s crazy she decided to be a Stand-Up when given this second chance. I reciprocate with my own story of injury and pain (It its NOT equal)

Since we’ve got 2 Cubans sitting at a table, talking about life, we naturally get into God and how committed we are in our adult lives to religion.

We get into how you just got to roll with Life’s lunches, I annoy her with a bunch of emo/punk puns, and I make her rethink maintaining any sort of contact with me!
