With Thanksgiving wrapped, and Christmas around the corner, now is a time for reflection… on the absolute shambles in which pop culture finds itself…

The Comedy Plug’s very own producer, Lee Waddell (@leeleedubski) hops in the hot seat to chop it up one good time with the host with the most, Tony Asar (@TonyAsar), because who doesn’t love some friendly crew banter?

Guess who made it home for Christmas?! Young Brittney Griner has been released from Russian detention and greeted with a whole heap of memes. Lori Harvey is putting points on the board for the City Girls, while the City Girls (namely Caresha) themselves catch wind of Love Combs at the same time we did… And there is no way we are the only folk laughing at the name of this new leaked R. Kelly album.

Fun fact: the lemon pepper wet in Atlanta is the only thing in the city worth visiting for.

This one is *chef’s kiss*.

FINALLY: A GIVEAWAY!

A free session with a certified life coach! Well, we aren’t giving away a sesh, but this episode is pretty much the best consultation you’ll get anywhere, from none other than comedienne Aisha Alfa (@aishaalfa). But first, a moment for Janelle Monae… nothing happened to her, we just stan.

Fact: you aren’t depressed; you’re dehydrated. Plus, what’s your reaction when you meet the person you could have become if you lived life with no fear?

This one gets heavy.

AARON MONTE EPISODE

Two words: dookie streaks.

That’s not the entirety of the episode, but click bait, hook, line, and stinker. Comedic rapper and standup comedian Aaron Monte (@therealaaronmon) slid through the @kqbhla studio with a radio voice that could even rival host Tony Asar (@tonyasar) on his best day.

It’s a friendly battle of the baritones, covering the age old debate: apartments in NY or LA (equally trash)? What happens after you get fooled twice? Plus a few notes for Timothy Chalamet and TI Harris.

This episode goes up.

One time for the folks who got a degree only to realize years later that it don’t mean shit! Military man and comedian Mark Boyd (@rastafariunicorn) slid through the KQBH (@kqbhla) studio for a conversation with Tony Asar (@tonyasar) that runs the gamut for black boy joy.

What’s your relationship style preference… even when it comes to business partnerships? What about social media? Do you feel obligated to post? And then there’s divorce: it happens… to the best of us… in our twenties… and then there’s the afterlife.

This one gets real.

Okay, but how cool are you if you haven’t been blocked online by a celebrity? Comedian and podcaster Tony Grams (@tony_grams) slid through the hallowed halls of the @kqbhla studio for a “colorful” conversation with host Tony Asar (@tonyasar)… for a tale of two Tony’s as old as time. 

When will we stop with the 360 deals, hiphop? Are you really practicing your craft if you live in fear of the dreaded bomb on stage? Also: hot sauce and blunts, a fun time do not make.

In this episode, it’s fame or infamy. Choose one.

And comedian Joe Hill has seen all parts. From the mean streets of high school as a dean to the wrong side of a heated accusation from a veteran comic (who shall remain nameless), Joe drops by the @kqbhla studio for a quick chat with host Tony Asar (@tonyasar) that is hilariously enlightening.

Who is responsible for the lack of community amongst African-Americans and how do we address it? Just HOW responsible for bringing the crowd is the comedian when there’s a perfectly good producer bringing in income from the show? How do you deal when you become the subject of celebrity discourse?

The elephant in the room is getting talked about.

Fun Fact: The Inland Empire is basically the Midwest of California. Comedienne & comic book publishing trailblazer Kristal Adams (@thedarkkristal) drops by the @kqbhla studio for a lively chat with host Tony Asar (@tonyasar) about  growing up as one of only a few Black kids in her town, the perks of working as Debbie Allen’s assistant, and finding her way to the mean streets of comedy.

Yes: Elizabeth Holmes is an inspiration to aspiring scammers EVERYWHERE. Just how racist are elementary school plays? Can comedians and comic book artists unionize?

It’s another dope episode of The Comedy Plug!

If ever there was a battle royale, this is the episode... Tony Asar goes head to head in the KQBH studio with comedian, blerd podcaster, and wrestler Jay Washington. 

In an interview that cannot be described as anything less than enthusiastic, Chicagoan Jay Washington takes us on an energetic journey with his tales of rising through the ranks of the Los Angeles comedy scene, helming a solo podcast as a blerd on this here Wanda Maximoff's internet, and the tea of wrestling heroics. 

Just what is it like watching Vince thee McMahon... be Vince McMahon for so many years? Can comedy and comic books collide in a single casting (Be on the look out for American Gigolo)? 

Fun Fact: even gangsters watch Collider.
