This episode features the Bomb Diaries of my great friend, my music man, and the very funny, Eddie Molina.  Eddie's comedy career started a few years ago with a theater troupe and a lap dance.  He's a psychologist by education and brings that cerebral approach both to stand-up and life.  We bounce around in this episode, including topics such as:

Early LA comedy days; Rage filled outbursts; Chris and Eddie's very REAL talks over the years; Mr. One-Shotter; Learning Spanish from Narcos; Nickelback and Dane Cook; Advice from Joey Diaz; The "Comedian's Lie"

As always thanks to all of our listeners across the country and abroad.  Hope you enjoy!

This podcast is dedicated strictly to the WEIRD shows.  Joe Alaniz joins me yet again for a very fun episode that starts off complaining and laughing about some of our stranger occurrences - but very quickly becomes a love letter to the venues and people who took us in when no one else would & encouraged us to let our freak flag fly.

As always, thank you all so much for listening.  Your support means more than you know.  We're having a ton of fun making these, and I'll keep churning them out as long as you keep listening and passing them to friends.  You're the best.

Feature comic is Andrew Boydston (Barstool Profit; Comedy Store).  Andrew is hilarious, unflinchingly optimistic and also the sweetest fella I've bet in stand-up comedy.  Listen to me be amazed at how little he has noticed the craziness within dozens of situations we've shared over the years.  We discuss Andy's most aggressive heckler takedown, and much much more.

Thank you all so much for continuing to listen, both U.S. and internationally (especially our faithful listener in Sweden!).  Hope you enjoy, more episodes abound next week!!

This episode's guest is Lito Iglesias.  Lito is a two year comic from LA, now living in Bakersfield, and is equally high in confidence and introspection - a great mix for recanting crazy comedy/life stories.  In this episode, we discuss

- Chris and Lito share retail security (aka Loss Prevention) job stories

- Chris and Lito trade "bomb" stories from the same show in Inglewood (and accidentally name an "unnamed" comic)

- Calling your mom after a bomb (and she proves to be a tough crowd)

- Bombing in front of coworkers and an old flame

- What it takes to win (and qualify for) Wheel of Fortune

Enjoy the great Joe Alaniz's second, and most heart-wrenching comedy bomb story, where we cover the following topics:

Joe's 3 categories of "bombing"

The great Todd Rexx saving Chris on stage

Chris turns everything (incl. comedy) into a Goodfellas reference

Bombing in front of your entire family (and friends)

How friends can embarrass you more by "helping"

Instagram/YouTube stars doing standup

Chris turns everything (incl. comedy) into a bad romantic experience

People who make fun of us dream chasers

Joe's second Long Ride Home and his Takeaway

Episode 1 of The Bomb Diaries features my friend and great comic, Joe Alaniz.  Joe tells us one of his two worst bomb stories which happens to be the first time he bombed on stage.  We also reminisce a shared bombing story when we played an outdoor festival hell-gig, tried to follow the greatest band of all time, and tried to follow said band's patented "cow belt."  We also talk about lots of random things including (for starters) Phil Spector, for some reason..
