Bert Kreischer joined us on the Red Lion patio to drink Bitburger and Killepitsch and Kuemmerling and talk about himself a lot in yet another classic Season 4 episode of Live From The Red Lion.

We get into Bert's favorite podcasts, his forthcoming Netflix special, and his past nicknames, which include Flash, Wild Boy, Nature Boy, and The Machine. We also take a look at his phone search history and get his thoughts on "Jeselnik vs. Owen Benjamin" and running the LA marathon without training. We also talk about Bert's favorite subjects, like Joe Rogan, Tom Segura, Doug Stanhope, comedy, Instagram, drinking, podcasting, and more. We also discuss our Subway orders and talk about a bunch of other stuff that's more interesting to listen to than it would be to read about here. Rest assured we also hit the classic segments like The Four Points, Street Sweepin', In The Pooches, and the Kit Kat Quick Chat.

He also gives a nice little life lesson about being a fan of things. If you're a fan of podcasts, you'll probably like this one. We're definitely the most well-edited podcast in Silver Lake but this podcast goes into the details of other podcasts that do things well and what makes podcasts great in general.

Shout out to Kottie Kreischer for making this podcast a reality. And shout out as always to the Red Lion staff for being so accommodating, letting us podcast in the corner, and bringing us so many delicious pitchers of Bitburger and so many piping hot awesome plates of sausage. We love the fans new and old, in Pakistan and beyond.

Bennington Sullivan Grant claims this is going to be our MOST CONTROVERSIAL PODCAST YET. Is he right? Listen to find out.

Bennington is a comedian and a writer currently working on his debut novel. He joined us on the Red Lion patio to talk about being home schooled, leaving Virginia to come to LA, working for Dominos, and all of the writing projects he's currently working on. We also get into Bennington's rankings of the Pack Theater's 16 sketch comedy teams in a new segment entitled IN THE POINTS PRESENTS: INSIDE THE BASEBALL.

We hit the classic segments like Street Sweepin' (theme song by Devin Crittenden), the Four Points, and the Kit Kat Quick Chat. But really this is an in-depth, at times dark, examination of Bennington's psyche. It's really closer to an episode of WTF than it is LFTRL, but it's still RRGO (really really good overall). Seriously, Bennington's story is super interesting and it's worth listening even if we laugh or sip #bitburger silently while he bares his sweet, soft, sincere, soul to us.

Honestly this podcast IS controversial because it's so damn well edited. We keep getting better and better at podcasting and thank you all for appreciating us and listening. Shout out as always to the Red Lion staff for being so accommodating and letting us do the podcast there. Some slight audio issues but it should be alright.

Catch Bennington performing every last Sunday of the month at the Pack Theater as part of the house sketch team Very Famous. You can also catch him at UCB and elsewhere around LA. And catch his debut novel coming out on Amazon Kindle later this year.

Thank you again to all the fans around the world who bought a mug. Thank you to Bennington Sullivan Grant for being on this podcast. Thank you to the Red Lion Tavern in Silver Lake, Los Angeles for being such a great place to call home. Thank you.

SURPRISE PODCAST.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ITP SEASON 4 LIVE FROM THE RED LION PODCAST. THIS IS A BONUS EPISODE.

We were supposed to interview Desto Dubb, a great and funny rapper who decided not show up to the Red Lion. Instead, we had a classic episode where we called up some great past guests like Erika Curry, Liam Schauerman, Austin Quinn, Lee Robinson, and Drew Nollsch. We also hit some classic segments like In The Pooches and maybe some other ones.

ITP has some exciting guests on the horizon but we just wanted to give you this little dose of #hotcontent to hold you over until the next podcast. I mean don't get us wrong, though, this is still probably one of the best podcasts we've ever done. We just didn't add as many drops and sound effects and stuff. But we're pros at this point so the material is as fresh as ever.

Shout out as always to the Red Lion staff, and thank you to our listeners around the globe for tuning in. I think the real fans will really enjoy this episode.

#MUGSCOMINGSOON

Live From The Red Lion Season 4 continues with our guest, AZSwaye.

AZSwaye is a rapper from South Central Los Angeles. He joined us on the Red Lion patio with an Uber XL full of friends, including rapper AZBenz and producer LD The Monster (just kidding, don't spell it that way. it's LD Tha Monsta).

We discuss AZSwaye's music, Bitburger, pretzels, kuemmerling, Fortnight/PUBG, what it was like being Top Dawg's nephew and growing up around the TDE studio, and why AZSwaye wants to build his own name. We also get into the history of LA rap, from AZSwaye's dad hanging out around Death Row to AZSwaye growing up with the jerk music. There's a lot of other #freshmaterial in here as well.

Rest assured we also hit the classic LFTRL segments such as Street Sweepin', Shits Fired, and the Kit Kat Quick Chat. There are audio issues for about the last 10-15 minutes, but it's still audible so just listen to it. This is probably our best episode yet and you're going to be hearing a lot more about AZSwaye and the other artists that got on the mic so you might as well just listen to this now.

Shout out as always to the Red Lion staff. And a special shout out to Passion of the Weiss and LFTRL Season 3 guest Jeff Weiss for setting up this co-production. Written interview with AZSwaye is available here: http://www.passionweiss.com/2018/02/13/azswaye-interview/.

Go listen to "Ride With My Glock" and help AZSwaye reach a billion views. And also check out his recently released album SwayeMadden, which we also discuss on the podcast. And check out AZBenz and AZChike and LD Tha Monsta's Soundclouds and whatnot, too. And then buy a mug from us. #mugscomingsoon

#weinherebitburgeredup

Season 4 continues with our guest, Zach Green.

Zach is a comedian, Vegas aficionado, and Disney season pass holder. We talk about all those things, including the best ways to win in Vegas, a big parlay he hit on his birthday, how the whole Disney game has changed, and many other #intriguing topics.

We also hit the classic segments like Street Sweepin', In The Pooches, and the Kit Kat Quick Chat. Unfortunately Zach only gave us 3 of his top 5 LA streets, so you will have to await his return on the Mega Episode we're going to do one day in order to hear the final two. In the meantime his top 3 LA streets are pretty good, as is this podcast in general. Some might say it's our BEST EPISODE YET.

This was our first time recording on the new Zoom H6, so we didn't use the computer at all, and had less crashes. Of course we still had audio issues and it's not the most perfect sounding episode, but Zach is a pro and so are we and it turned out pretty well. As Paul Sherman of the Boston Herald allegedly said about Live From The Red Lion: "A Winner, This Fourth Season Is Clearly The Best."

Shout out as always to the fans in Pakistan, Vegas, and beyond. We couldn't do what we do without you. And shout out to the Red Lion staff for providing us with quality Bitburger and kuemmerling and pretzels.

Catch Zach performing live at Second City Hollywood every Wednesday night. And enjoy this beautiful episode, which is truly the most well-edited podcast in Los Angeles. THANK YOU.

Season 4 continues with our guest, Erika Curry.

Erika is a comedian, writer, actress, and co-host of the bi-weekly comedy and variety show The Scramble. She's also on the incredibly amazing sketch team Detention at the Pack Theater.

Much as Live From The Red Lion has corporate sponsors such as Squatty Potty, Audible, Warby Parker and Kit-Kat, Erika is sponsored by Arrowhead Water. So shout out to them and shout out to the Red Lion staff.

This podcast was recorded on the day Doug Jones beat Roy Moore in the Alabama special election. It's being released the day after Alabama won the NCAA football national championship. It's been a good or bad year from Alabama depending on what you think about things.

In this episode, we talk about Dougie Jones, Al Franken, breeding pigs, the beauty of an ice cold shot of becherovka, and several other things. There was a slightly better edited more interesting intro to this episode that we couldn't upload due to computer issues, and the computer kept crashing during the recording, so needless to say we had a shit ton of #laptopproblems but pretty sure Erika and our #freshmaterial and #hotcontent saved the day and turned this #shit into an #incredibleepisode.

Season 4 is no segments, but as always we hit the segments such as the 4 Points, Street Sweepin', In The Pooches, It's Kind Of Getting Cold Isn't It?, Co-Sign, and the Kit-Kat Quick Chat. According to Mike this is the hardest he's ever laughed on an episode so maybe you will say the same thing once you listen to it.

Season 4 is going great so far, we're happy to be the most well-edited podcast in LA and we're looking forward to accumulating a shit ton of listens and downloads on this episode.

Follow Erika @erikamcurry on instagram, @gillygal on Twitter, or catch her live many nights a week @ The Pack Theater and elsewhere around town.

Shout out again to The Red Lion Tavern in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.

SEASON 4 BABY!

Live From The Red Lion Season 4 continues with one of our favorite guests, Jacob Sirof.

Jacob joined us on the Red Lion patio to discuss his father's manic creation of pasta sauces, Derek Carr's eyes, his standup, Marvel movies, and our favorite topic: ourselves. We basically hired Jacob as a producer in the middle of this episode, as he gave us some good tips about marketing the podcast, or at least pointed out everything we're doing wrong. We still need to create the Live From The Red Lion Twitter, but otherwise, it's clear Season 4 is taking off with Sirof Ice at the producing helm.

Season 4's theme is "No Segments," but we test out some heavy hitting segments in this episode, including It's Kind of Getting Chilly Isn't It?, Co-Sign, Around The Horn, Reverse Street Sweepin', and many more. We recorded the Kit Kat Quick Chat but the computer crashed and burned and we lost that part of the recording, but needless to say it was way too confusing of a segment anyways.

This is honestly our best, most well-edited podcast yet so you better listen to it. Live From The Red Lion is the most well edited podcast in LA and if you're not listening you are not in the points. But shout out to all of our fans out there in Pakistan, Netherlands, Korea, Illinois, Minnesota, California, and The Internet.

And shout out as always to the Red Lion staff. We couldn't do what we do without fresh pitchers of Bitburger, piping hot delicious sausages, and shots of highly alcoholic schnapps.

SEASON 4, BACK AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. #mugscomingsoon

Season 4 begins with none other than Rude Jude joining us on the Red Lion patio to talk about his new book 'Hummingbird.' You may know Jude from the All Out Show on Sirius/XM's Shade 45, from The Jenny Jones Show, from his debut book 'Hyena,' from the Eminem song "Drug Ballad," or from the E-40 "Choices" video.

Get to know him better in this episode of Live From The Red Lion, where we talk about the weather, Thin Lizzy, Detroit, Kraftwerk, Binary Star, and a bunch of other good stuff. We hit the classic ITP segments like The Four Points, Street Sweepin', Shits Fired, and a lot of On The Record.

Jude's book 'Hummingbird' is available now. It is really good. Jude is a talented writer and if even if you hate the idea of reading a book you will like his stories a lot. Buy the book at a bookstore or on Amazon. Or buy the audiobook, read by Jude himself, at http://audibletrial.com/inthepoints.

Shout out as always to the Red Lion staff for bringing us Bitburgers and waters on the 100 degree day in LA this was recorded. And shout out to Jude for providing us with some #freshcontent on this inaugural Season 4 episode. This is honestly the best episode yet of the most well-edited podcast in LA, so you might as well listen to it right now and then go buy 'Hummingbird.'
