Your EX Drinking Buddy

This week gets CRAZY! I am joined by hilarious comedian Geo Perez. We talk about him going from drug dealing, to jail time, to stand up comedy. Geo tells us all about some of the craziest and rather unfortunate things from his past and how he has parlayed those things into a great future in comedy and podcasting.

Some INSANE EX Drinking Buddy stories this week. Geo tells us about how far he is willing to go when he is high on pills and someone takes his seat at the movies, getting into a MASSIVE backyard brawl, a few of the times he has been arrested, and a snowball altercation that lead to his most recent arrest.

This week is a BLAST! I have on hilarious comedian, Oscar Aydin. Despite some technical difficulties we had a great time. Oscar talks about going from Chicago to NYC, starting out in theater, going back and fourth with standup, and then finally hitting it hard and getting passed all around ton (including The Stand).
