699- Notice it says My Bio and not Mike Betancourt’s" Bio. I am not going to write my own bio as if it were written from third person anymore. It’s not real, it’s not me. Just like that picture you see on your left side, NO BS! I am not going to BS my way though this bio. This is me, Mike Betancourt, and I am here to write to you about myself and the experiences I’ve had in this wonderful life of comedy. I’m a veteran, I served in the United States Navy. I was a catapult crewman on board the U.S.S Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). I was in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Keep in mind, I was in the Navy, so I didn’t see any land. I was out to sea launching jets, just like Top Gun… minus the cool 80s music and shirtless volleyball games. I was too busy working. Highway to the Danger Zone, baby! Serving in the military helped me develop tough skin for what I had to embark next. Juggling stand up comedy career while having a family. I have a beautiful wife and two amazing daughters, I didn’t want to travel too much starting out because I wanted my kids to know who I am. I started my stand up comedy career in 2004 and I had no idea what I was doing. Sure I got some laughs, but I still had no idea what was going on. I wasn’t afraid to make mistakes and fail; Lord knows I have failed a lot! I’ve heard the boos, seen people walk away, or even better, had people yell at me after shows because I wasn’t funny. However, I was instilled with strong work ethics from my parents, so I kept going, I was determined to learn this craft. Performing stand up comedy over the years has opened up opportunities for other creative ventures, such as acting. I can be seen in the new Golden One commercial, as well as several movies: Traffik (starring Paula Patton), Mamaboy (with Gary Busey), and Guitar Man, where I had a supporting role. Guitar Man won best drama at LA Film Festival, best feature at the Chandler Film Festival and best original screenplay at the Golden state Film Festival. In a short film called Love Rules, I won Best Supporting Actor. I also produced and acted in a short film called Evelyn, which won the audience choice award at the Life Fest Film Festival. My favorite experience to showcase is when I made it to Mt. Olympus… I mean when I was in Wrestlemania 31! I was one of Bray Wyatt’s scarecrows and one of Rusev’s Russian Soldiers! Hanging out backstage at Wrestlemania was an experience of a lifetime. I have a podcast that I write and produce called Me, Mikeself and I, a fun show where I rant and do impressions. Check it out!

I love movies and I congratulate all the winners from this years Oscars. It's not easy of what they have accomplished. But out of the 90 years of Oscar award shows, 36 of those years have never been watched by me. I just watch the highlights and pretend to know what I'm talking about at gatherings.

I also talk about how actor/comedian Ryan Boyd and comedian/veteran Isaac Ames took it upon themselves to drive to Standing Rock and be one of the many on the front lines protecting the Sioux Tribe.

Dont worry about Donald Trump taking our rights away, Just act like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone and protect your rights with a bb gun, some paint cans, and a tarantula.  Isaac Ames: Facebook.com/isaacamescomedy Ryan Boyd: Facebook.com/ryan.boyd.5608   And for up to date news on what's happening at Standing Rock: http://www.ocetisakowincamp.org/   Topics Include: Christmas, Die Hard, Home Alone, Standing Rock, Alan Rickman, Veterans of Standing Rock, Mike Betancourt, Comedy, stand-up, Krampus, Santa Claus, Scrooge, Thanksgiving, Comedian, Sacramento, Sioux Tribe, Pipeline, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, West Clark Jr.  

Trump.. Hillary.. Millennials and Protesting.. What do they all have in common? They are not harnessing their energy to protect Standing Rock. If you have been living under a rock the past few months, I don't blame you, but you need to know whats going on with Standing Rock. There is a pipeline being drilled into their fresh water supply. Over 17 million people will be effected by this. This is important, this is what we need to focus on. You can hear my rant as I make fun of all the stuff I said in the beginning. I also talk about the history of Thanksgiving, how we should unite with Native Americans and also be F'n thankful for what we have.   To get involved and help support Standing Rock:http://standingrock.org/   Call the Whitehouse (During Business Hours) (202) 456-1111 Or an e-mail at whitehouse.gov/contact     Topics Include: Trump, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Standing Rock, Protest, President, White house, Thanksgiving, Native Americans, Pipeline, Grateful, Mike Betancourt, Comedy, Stand Up, Sacramento

Who is Bishop Bullwinkle? He is the man who created a song called,"Hell Naw.. To the Naw Naw Naw". This is the song you want to listen to when you see B.S. coming from a mile away.. like this years election. I'm so glad that this election as almost done, over, and out of our heads for another four years. We need to focus on better things like the Chicago Cubs, Standing Rock, and Batman: Return of the Caped Crusader.  Having these in your life is whats important.

Joining us for the first time ever is local 11-year stand up comedy veteran Mike Betancourt! As hard as Cory and Aaron try, we are not professional comedians so this week we bring in the experts to talk about a wide variety of topics including ESPN covering E-Sports, Mike Tyson joining the UFC (In a video game), and Star Wars pushing the date of Episode 8 back. We also talk about WWE Professional Wrestling, The Punisher, and so much more!

Maniacal Mike Betancourt and Classy Claire Fischer drop by Big Z Studios to talk about a very Creepy and Twisted short movie submission called "The Reckoning". They have entered this short into the Rode Mic film contest and are looking to bring notoriety to the Sacramento film Community. Listen to a couple of Comedians who are crossing over into Film. And we can't stress enough how important it is for you to go and vote for their short film in the Rode Mic contest they're currently apart of.

This episode we have the great Mike Betancourt talking about being back in the old studio, the infamous "lost episode", stand-up gigs, movies, and tv shows.

Wild Man Mike Betancourt drops in to DESTROY the studio! No, not really. You will find out that Mike is a changed man. He tells his story of the Highs and Lows of the last year. He explains his melt down at the Comedy Spot and how he has work very hard to get back on top. A fascinating story. Listen and Enjoy.

On this episode we chat with the four comics that make up the themed comedy show, The Mikes! Of course, the only "theme" this show has going for it is that all of the comics are named Mike, and that they're all really really funny! It was great to talk to Betancourt, O'Connell, Calvin Jr., and Sinclair (via phone) and see what makes each one of them tick, how they came to be together, and where they hope to take this show in the future. We also learn how they've changed as comedians since they started putting this show on nearly a year ago. Take a listen, and then support these guys when they roll into your area.

On this week's episode, Andrew and Rocky from The Mouths of Madness Podcast drop by the Big Z Broadcast Studio to talk about how they got into the podcasting game, as well as a few things horror. Also on the show: DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's "Nightmare on My Street," we do the "Monster Mash," and the guys talk about their experience opening for friend of the show, Mike Betancourt, in Concord, CA.

Mike shows the full range of his voice mimicry. We have a visit from Randy the Macho Man Savage and other wrestling icons. A fast moving fun show. Take a listen.
