Eliza Hurwitz is a new comedienne in the New York scene. She is a triplet and also the younger sister of collegehumor's Jake Hurwitz. But more importantly, she's a comic with a unique voice and style. NY comic Naomi Karavani called her "the voice of a generation" in a conversation with me once. That's heavy. But really, I just like people that do things differently. So we talk about starting in comedy, dating, the word "awkward" and a plethora of other things. Enjoy.
Comedian/Improviser/Writer Morgan Miller sits down with me and we discuss the ongoing war between stand up and improv, the mindsets of extroverts and introverts, New Years delusions and the movie "Frozen" of which Morgan wrote a parody song. Morgan discusses the struggles of being pulled in two different directions by sketch/improv and stand up. I'm an introvert and Morgan is a definite extrovert. Also I tell a story about me and my sister's childhood and why Frozen almost made me cry. You can find Morgan's parody song, "I Make Snow" here: https://vimeo.com/84010273
Indulge my philosophical side for 5 minutes.
The 2014 Royal Rumble was a well wrestled, and TERRIBLY BOOKED PPV. Josh Alba and Ben Conrad join us for the first several minutes of the podcast. Benel Germosen and I discuss what direction WWE could even be going in, and the role the internet is playing into these shows. No one's happy with this booking. This PPV will live in infamy.
New Jersey comedian Dina Hashem sits down with me and we discuss a plethora of things. We even comment on how weird it feels to be recorded. Dina's one of my favorite people to talk to about things, probably because she majored in philosophy and is just generally cool.
Benel comes up with a great fantasy booking for the Divas division, utilizing Page, Emma and Sara Del Rey. We talk the Road to Wrestlemania, The Shield, Reigns' push and the Daniel Bryan/Wyatt Family situation.
Comedienne Irene Hartmann and I hang out and talk. Irene is a non-threatening white girl, so we discuss how your vessel plays into your life experience. We talk comedy theory, Irene's first year and comedy inspiration.
Seth Rollins is the wrestler of the week. And John Cena gives another great performance. Cena is a great tool to put new talent over. The Shield is dope. Benel makes a bunch of comic book references that I don't get. The Animal Batista is coming back! Slammy voting was upsetting. Benel rants on internet wrestling fans. Fantasy booking the road to Wrestlemania.
One of my favorite comics/humans Jaqi Furback hangs out with me and we discuss a plethora of things, from the dynamics between men and women, to Komodo Dragons, to FEELINGS. If you've never heard Jaqi before, oh boy are you in for a treat.
"Everything in this world, dies. So at some point, we gotta decide which deaths make us sad." Bryce, Bryson and I get into a substantive discussion about euthanasia and death.
As long as there are people who feel negatively about other people, there will be offensive words. It's not about what the words specifically are. It's about the negative mindsets that using those words reflect. I wanted to stay focused on offensive words on this one, but I also make a different point about being bound to history and human nature. "I feel like in some ways my actions are bound by the restrictions of my own history."
Bryson and my sister joined me in a discussion about pets that we've owned, and also the thin line between knowing if a pet has run away or died. Bryson shares a story about a delusional friend.
30 Macon, The Upper Room, Brainstore, Church For Crazy People...all synonymous with the space that Bryson owns in bed stuy. It's a digital community center. And it's where I'm putting my energy in the near future.
I'm in studio, Bryson's on the phone. Bryson makes a really good point about misogyny that I totally agree with, but then I interject some twisted humor into it.
I'm an affectionate, cuddly dude. I'm built for it, body and mind. I worry that I can't show as much affection with women because thy'll be afraid that I just want to have sex with them. And I do. But I also just love being affectionate, a la carte. I thrive on human connection.
My mind is most active when I've been awake the longest. So at 3:30am I record a podcast about rape and murder. It's difficult to talk about, so that's why I do it.
Quick update about how I fucked up my body playing handball, and why that always happens.
