Episode 23: Oscars 2017 Recap

Fresh off the heels of this year's Academy Awards, we recap the highlights of this year's Oscars with producer/lit manager/friend of the show Walt Clark. Some spoilers ahead, so if you haven't seen 'La La Land,' 'Moonlight,' or 'Casablanca,' proceed with caution.

We return from an unannounced hiatus to ring in the new year and talk about what we've been up to, the future of the podcast, Donald Trump, minimalism, yelling at strangers' kids, and more.

If you watch television and like to laugh, you probably are familiar with Al Jackson. He's appeared on countless specials and shows on Comedy Central and has been one of the longtime host for BBC's 'Officially Amazing.' The comedian/writer talks to us about his transition from middle school science teacher into the world of standup, how Shaquille O'Neal helped him get his first writing gig, the inspiration behind his live hip hop comedy show 'Can I Kick It?,' and more.

In Episode 20, we talk about appropriate Costco and sidewalk educate. Josh dishes out the goods on his Costa Rica. Sean shares thoughts on the new OUE SkySpace LA at the U.S. Bank Tower.

Josh Rants about the New Ghostbusters and not for the reasons you think and many more topics. So pop in your earbuds and shut out the world.

Episode 19: The Kleenerz (Self Jupiter and Kenny Segal)

We're joined by hip hop duo The Kleenerz (Self Jupiter and Kenny Segal), who just released their second album, 'Season 2.' We talk with them about the history of LA's underground hip hop scene (Freestyle Fellowship, Project Blowed, The Good Life), obscure ice cream truck items, and why Los Angeles being kind of gross is also a good thing. We also squeeze in a quick round of iTunes Roulette.

Episode 18: Return of iTunes Roulette

We're back with another round of the popular iTunes Roulette game, in which we throw our massive libraries on shuffle and talk about whatever song pops up. Plenty of side conversation in this one, including thoughts on family reunions, weird white people behavior, and a jarring number of references to past episodes of the podcast. And yes, we know that we called this Episode 17 in the podcast, but we did a recount and we were wrong. Oh so wrong.

Joe DeRosa: Pets, Comedy and Music Heroes

We talk with comedian, actor, musician, Joe DeRosa about how he got started in comedy because of cougars (wha???). We also talk about his comedy and music heroes, along with how to love the art and not the celebrity.

We ask each other question from, "75 Good Questions to Ask to Get to Know Someone". Some deep, some not.

Episode 15: Death, Sex, & Drugs w/ Kap Kallous

We're joined by hip hop artist Kap Kallous for our most free-flowing, conversational episode yet. Join us as we talk about the fear of death, coming up with better names for diseases, why rappers can't really claim that they're hippies, horror movies, and more. We also get down on a little iTunes Roulette with our guest, whose patented brand of in-your-face, musically explorative hip hop has taken him around the country, sharing stages with ¡MayDay!, Murs, Sage Francis, and more. Laughs, thought-provoking discussion, mispronounced words...this one's got it all.

We sit down with each other and talk about The Jungle Book, after seeing it opening weekend. There also is a deep discussion about brunch and why it is overrated. We even get in to veganism and some talk on our history with videos games. We tackle some broad topics but we are very opinionated on all subjects.
