Louis Katz podcast

Guy Branum graciously shared with me the champagne he purchased to commemorate the Supreme Court's gay marriage decision. We drank it, ate strawberries and chatted for so long that I decided to make this a 2-parter. This episode (Part 1) includes a story about Guy's 1st trip to a gay bar and his 1st pride parade.

Sat down with two very old friends of mine, Zoe & Rebecca, when they were both 9 months pregnant to talk about...them being 9 months pregnant!

I went to the Queens apartment of two of my favorite up-and-coming NYC comedians, Greg Stone and Anthony Devito, where we discussed how they grew up together in Jersey, action figures and child molesters. This is a super funny one.

This week's guest is a VERY old friend of mine. Like super old. Like 87. It's my Grandpa! Hear him tell exciting tales of the world's 1st computer, living in Depression era Ohio, and moving to Boyle Heights (back when it was also el Jewish barrio) in LA!

I sat down with one of the best comedians in the business, Greg Fitzsimmons (http://www.gregfitzsimmons.com/), and we talked about comedy and fistfighting technique.

Greg's one of my favorite comedians to watch. He's constantly changing up his sets, and he had one of the greatest put downs of a heckler I've ever seen (he called a woman "9/11." Quote: "You're not like 9/11, you ARE 9/11").

Jewish summer camp. It's a rite of passage for many young Jews like myself. To commemorate the 20 year anniversary of my time at Camp Alonim, I sat down with two close friends of mine from those days, Danny and Ben. We talk camp memories, anal fissures, and life in general.

You may know Al Madrigal as the Daily Show's "Senior Latino Correspondent." I know him as the "King of Confrontation" (actually, I just made that up, but whatever). Al's a dude who constantly calls people out on their bullshit and who, despite his small stature, will not back down from any one. Which leads to some pretty hilarious stories...

I was getting a lot of requests from fans of the podcast to do a soup-themed episode. So I trapped 3 comics in a van and forced them to talk soup. You wanted it, now you've got it: SOUP TALK w/ Karen Kilgariff, Drennon Davis, & Greg Edwards!!

After briefly beefing on twitter about the newest wave of PC Culture that's sweeping the nation, my good friend Guy Branum (www.guybranum.com) and I sat down and discussed this issue in person like real people.

This week's guest is Marcella Arguello (http://www.marcellacomedy.com/), a very funny comedian from the 'Mo (Modesto). Like me, she is a true hater. I think that's why we get along so well.
