This is a special episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. So special, in fact, that it's not even an episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. No, it's my appearance on Isaac Simpson's podcast, The Carousel. Isaac was kind enough to have me on to take a deep dive into possibly the most important article to come out this year, Jean Garnett's “The Trouble with Wanting Men,” as published in the New York Times. OK, it's definitely not the most important article, but it's damn entertaining and revealing about where and when some of us are. (It even tricked me into buying a subscription to The Times.) Isaac and I get all the way into Garnett's 5,000 words to talk about Garnett's heterofatalism and total lack of self-awareness. Dear, Jean: Maybe dating is hard for you because you're so annoying and this is the breed of “man” you're seeing: ‘He tends to signal, in various ways, his exemption from the tainted category of “men,” and it is perfectly understandable that he would wish to do so. It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man, and it is incumbent upon each of them to mitigate this embarrassment in a way that feels authentic to him.' I hope you enjoy our straight, unabashed, and authentic convo and please subscribe to our Substacks.

You may have seen him on Gutfeld! , FOX News Primetime, One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, and Open to Debate (with Michael Ian Black). Lou was the Head Writer and Producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV. During his tenure at WTI, Lou made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical.'” As a stand-up comedian, Lou has opened for Rob Schneider, Rich Vos, Jimmy Dore, Dave Smith, and toured the US and Canada with Scott Thompson. Lou has also produced live shows with Colin Quinn, the Icarus Festival, and the Rutherford Comedy Festival. For years, Lou performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and his comedy duo, Greg and Lou. Greg and Lou is best known for its sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views on YouTube alone. In addition to producing sketch comedy like Comedy Is Murder, performing stand-up across the country, and writing for The Blaze's Align, Lou is on the advisory board of Heresy Press, a FAIR-in-the-arts fellow, and host of the live debate series The Wrong Take and The Lou Perez Podcast (which is part of the Lions of Liberty Podcast Network). How'd Lou start out? He began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where he was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. Lou was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with Lorne Michaels's Broadway Video; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. Lou hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Punching Up Comedy at Freedom Fest, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. Lou taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute. Lou worked with The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression as Communications Manager and later as a producer and consultant. Their video "Taking a Knee in Sports? For what?" was broadcast during a USC vs. Notre Dame football game and was a SILVER ADDY® WINNER at the American Advertising Awards. Lou is also a brand ambassador for XX-XY Athletics.

Earlier this year, my friend Matt Himes (managing editor of The Blaze's Align) lost his home in the California fires, but he didn't lose his sense of humor or his willingness to try a lot of things he's bad at. It was great catching up with Matt on life after the fire, what it's like to live out a George Carlin bit, “String Theory,” and going into the unknown of rebuilding.

Lou has also produced live shows with Colin Quinn, the Icarus Festival, and the Rutherford Comedy Festival. For years, Lou performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and his comedy duo, Greg and Lou. Greg and Lou is best known for its sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views on YouTube alone. In addition to producing sketch comedy like Comedy Is Murder, performing stand-up across the country, and writing for The Blaze's Align, Lou is on the advisory board of Heresy Press, a FAIR-in-the-arts fellow, and host of the live debate series The Wrong Take and The Lou Perez Podcast (which is part of the Lions of Liberty Podcast Network). I hope you enjoy our conversation, but I know you'll enjoy Matt's article that ran in The New York Post: “This liberal is seeing red after decades of California misrule meant my house burned down.” As a writer, I'm jealous I didn't write the piece. As a human, I'm so fortunate I didn't have to live through what inspired Matt to write it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How'd I start out? I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views across online platforms. I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.

Lou Perez is a comedian, producer, host of The Lou Perez Podcast, and author of the book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Free the People has teamed up with Lou to produce a new series, Comedy Is Murder. In the first episode, one of Lou's characters is arrested for a murder “she” says she didn't commit. During an interview with host Sienna Mae Heath, the morbid joke is on us as the smoke from the Canadian wildfires settles in the background. Lou and Sienna discuss his writing process, the dynamics of dry humor, and the difference between mocking and making light of a sacred cow. They explore the phenomenon of words being labeled “literal violence” and its effect on free speech.
