Holding It Down with 3 Plates Tommy

This week on Holding It Down, 3 Plates Tommy and producer Ethan get into relationships, heartbreak, and the ridiculous things guys do to impress women. What starts as some dating advice for Josh, a prospective intern and college junior, turns into a conversation full of embarrassing confessions, unexpected stories, and plenty of laughs.

Tommy looks back on racing his friend in seventh grade just for a chance to kiss a girl, only for neither of them to get the kiss. He also remembers his first heartbreak at 12 years old and how serious relationships can feel when you’re that young.

Meanwhile, Ethan opens up about his personal life more than ever before. From meeting an ex-girlfriend during a random work errand and crying in the shower on Halloween to a terrifying nightmare involving a beautiful woman with completely black eyes, Tommy quickly realizes there’s a lot he doesn’t know about his own producer.

The stories only get crazier as Ethan recalls his uncle announcing the creation of a new gang called Heaven’s Angels after getting baptized, finding himself backstage with West Coast rappers Suga Free and WC right after sinus surgery, and getting caught in the middle of an uncomfortable argument during a bachelor party on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Between questionable dating advice, wild life experiences, and surprisingly personal conversations about love, faith, and growing up, Tommy and Ethan cover a little bit of everything.

Just another episode of Holding It Down packed with ridiculous stories, unexpected confessions, and plenty of shit talking.

Perfect for the drive, the gym, or whenever you need a good laugh.

This week on Holding It Down, 3 Plates Tommy sits down with stand-up comedian Martin Rizo for a conversation full of ridiculous observations, questionable opinions, and plenty of laughs.

Martin reveals he doesn’t have a single tattoo, which has Tommy wondering why he hasn’t gotten his last name blasted across his back in Old English. Or better yet, his entire 23andMe ethnicity breakdown tattooed on his arm so he can roll up his sleeve whenever someone questions what he’s allowed to say.

Tommy also has some serious complaints about the kid from Angels in the Outfield, arguing that the little foo was way too much of a crybaby. The guys get into Tommy’s unexpected discovery that Cup Noodles with mayonnaise is actually delicious, his confusion over Cup Noodles suddenly being advertised as microwavable, and why Morrissey can’t just perform a concert without showing disturbing animal videos.

And of course, they question why wealthy celebrities like Keanu Reeves insist on riding public transportation. Is it genuine humility, or are they trying a little too hard to seem like regular people?

From childhood movie criticism to celebrity behavior and everything in between, it’s another episode packed with wild takes, hilarious tangents, and plenty of shit talking.

Perfect for the drive, the gym, or whenever you need a good laugh.

Tommy and Slaprs take it back to the days of popping and locking, graffiti, and burning custom mix CDs for your homies or that special girl.

This week Tommy sits down with SoCal stand-up comedian Luis Noriega and returning guest, comedian and content creator Drew Martinez, for one of the crazier episodes we’ve had in a minute.

The guys get into what makes someone develop a humiliation kink, which leads Luis and Drew into talking about a different kind of humiliation: bombing on stage and what it feels like when a stand-up set goes completely wrong.

From there, the conversation gets weird with ghost stories and the paranormal before turning into a heated debate over one of the most important questions of all: who actually has the best burgers? Everybody has their spot, and nobody is willing to back down.

Just a wild episode full of comedy, embarrassing moments, ghost stories, heated arguments, and plenty of shit talking from start to finish.

Perfect for the drive, the gym, or just vibing with the headphones on.

This week Tommy and Ethan are holding it down for another episode full of wild theories, random stories, and conversations that somehow get way deeper than expected.

The guys start off talking about Burning Man and the infamous Orgy Dome, which naturally turns into a theory about Illuminati rituals and billionaires keeping the wealth in the family.

Tommy tells Ethan about being 22 and meeting a girl at a bar who had him meeting her family at a family party within a month. From there, Tommy gets into his list of older female celebrities who can still get it and tries to get Ethan onboard with the conversation.

They also get into My 600-lb Life and the realization that Tommy might somehow drink more soda than the people on the show. Things eventually get deeper with Larry and David Ellison, Paramount and Warner Bros., sending Ethan down a rabbit hole about America, China, manufacturing, TikTok, technology, politics, and whether we’ve slowly given up more control than we realize.
