Today, I sit down with fellow IE comedian, Melissa Nehme! Melissa started doing stand up comedy less than a year ago! We talk about how she started doing stand up, her writing style, and how she feels she is doing thus far. She is a very funny comic who recently preformed at the Brea Improv and is starting to perform all over SoCal. Please give her a follow on social media and enjoy the podcast!

Carlos Patino makes his epic return to the podcast! The last time I had Carlos on the podcast was back in 2021 when we were saying goodbye to fellow comic Frankie Hoy. On the episode today, we talk about Carlos's upcoming show at the Ontario Improv and we discuss music, conspiracy theories and of course, having a kid and doing comedy. Enjoy!

The Mike James Podcast welcomes back the very funny Frankie Hoy. About a year ago, Frankie took the plunge and moved to New York City to persue his dream of doing stand up full time in one of the biggest comedy scenes. We talk about how NYC has treated him, talk about Van living, and talk about how he ended up on the news from one of his Tik Tok ideas. Enjoy!

The Mike James Podcast is back with another episode with the one and only George Ferido! On the episode today, George and I talk about all things comedy that happened in 2022. We talk about our future plans the current crop of comics that are up and coming. Enjoy!

Today, I sit down once again and catch up with George Ferido. I consider George to be the current Godfather of the Riverside/IE scene. Along with Will Henderson, they put on shows under the Buddy System Co banner all over Rancho, Riverside, and Ontario. George and I will actually be performing together on April 6 at the Ontario Improv. On the podcast today, we talk the current state of IE comedy, talk about our improv show and then play a little game of "would you rather". Enjoy!

Today, I sit down with two very funny comics, Carlos Patino and Frankie Hoy. Both are making their epic return to the podcast. Over the past few months the 3 of us have started to hang out more at mics, help each other with jokes, and are always bringing each other down in the name of being funny. Frankie is making the move to New York City to do stand up for one year, so Carlos and I wanted to give our friend a proper podcast send off. Enjoy!

Today, I sit down with the one and only KJ Robinson. KJ is a comic that started out in Detroit and has moved his talents to the IE. KJ is funny comic and a hustler. You can catch him on shoes in Riverside county, Orange County, LA County, and has performed in multiple states. On the podcast, I ask KJ a million questions and we talk about all things comedy. From how he prepares for mics, how he got his start, and how strawberry soda is better than grape. SPONSOR US FANTA!! Enjoy the episode!!

The Mike James Podcast is BACK!! And for the triumphant return, I have brought the entire Buddy System group! On the episode today, I chat with Aaron Chase, George Ferido, and William Henderson. All of whom have been previous guests on the Mike James Podcast. I had such a great time on their podcast (The Buddy System Co.) that I just had to have them on here. On the episode today, we chat about running open mics, running shows, how serious Will takes Dungeons and Dragons, and we play "How well do we know Aaron Chase". Enjoy!

On the episode today, Johnny Gold returns to the Mike James podcast. And with him, we have fellow local comedian Nick Lanney. Johnny has been a comic for many years, performing all over California and Nick is like me, where we are just starting out. On the podcast, its just comics talk comedy. We discuss the good and bad advice we have gotten over the years, we talk about our own writing process, and we of course poke fun at other comics we know because that's what comics do! Hope you enjoy!

Today, I sit and talk with returning guests Michael Jacobs and Matt Posner. We were tired of talking politics, tired of talking about current events, so we decided to have a show dedicated to the movies and music that we love. We each give our top 10 lists of favorite movies, favorite bands or artists, and favorite TV shows. Hope you all enjoy and like our picks!
